Turtle Hut Description for Condo
Looking for an authentic and genuine Hawaiian experience in a top rated resort with the most 5-star ratings in the complex? This is your spot!! Tucked away from most of the foot traffic and vehicles, you will enjoy how quiet this particular condo is, with its perfect location at the end of the complex, yet only a short walk to the pool and bar-b-que area! Embrace the spirit of Aloha while enjoying the best weather on the island with gentle breezes, sunshine, and a peaceful feeling of serenity at the Turtle Hut! Take in the gorgeous ocean views and colorful sunrises right from your large lanai that opens both from your bedroom and your living area. You can listen to the peaceful ocean waves as you gently drift off to sleep or as you enjoy stargazing from your lanai in the evenings. This light and airy unit is located in the more secluded and peaceful section of Sea Mountain Resort at Punalu’u Black Sand Beach.
This beautifully updated unit features a very comfortable king-size bed AND a new comfortable couch that handily pulls out into a queen-size bed when needed. Included is a bright and spacious bathroom with walk-in shower that boasts beautiful sea turtle decor within the tiled walls. Enjoy cooking your meals in the well-stocked kitchen that includes a Ninja blender, espresso machine, coffee makers, tea kettle, toaster, and a nice variety of kitchen utensils, pots and pans, etc. for your use. For your outdoor fun, this condo is also equipped with beach chairs and towels, umbrella, snorkel gear and more! We have earned more FIVE STAR ratings than any other listing in our resort!
Swim, sunbathe, hot-tub, bar-b-que and/or eat your own meals at the conveniently located pool area just down the immaculately groomed condo pathways. Enjoy watching the birds and listening to their happy chirping as you soak in the sun or swim in the beautifully maintained and refreshing pool. Sit in the hot tub and allow the warmth to soak into your muscles and relax you as you take in the views of the beautiful lush green hills and the ocean waves in the background.
The peaceful and remote location allows you to fully relax and let go of life’s stresses as you enjoy your vacation away from it all! You can take a short 5-10 minute stroll to the famous Black Sand Beach, where the protected green sea turtles can be seen in their natural habitat. Watching them bask in the sun on the beach or observing them slowly returning to the water can be quite mesmerizing! Just a few steps further leads you along the ancient Ala Kahakai Trail fronting our resort and beyond for a little walking adventure.
Located a short 30 minute drive away is the amazing Volcanoes National Park and its awesome eruption shows. Other short drive trips to explore your surroundings include the gorgeous Green Sands Beach known as Papakolea; a natural and rugged masterpiece to behold! Another nearby tour option is Kula Kai Caverns in Ocean View…be prepared to learn about the volcanic rocks and the islands from experts who take you down into the lava tubes to explore the underground. Be sure to visit South Point, the southern most tip of the United States while you are here…the sunsets are quite a sight to behold; and if you are brave enough, you can jump off the cliffs into the gorgeous blue ocean! On your way down to Southpoint, you will find plentiful fruit-stands to visit and Paradise Meadows Orchard and Bee Farm for free Kau coffee and chocolate samples galore! Wood Valley is another place nearby to check out. If you enjoy hiking, there are plenty of options for that as well, including The Kahuku Unit located near-by.
Punalu’u Bake Shop in the quaint town of Na’alehu is a MUST on your list of places to visit as well! Their breads and famously delicious malasadas are incredible! They also have breakfast and lunch foods available and the wonderful Kau coffee as well! Na’alehu town has some other helpful businesses you may want to visit as well; including ACE Hardware, the local post office, banking, churches, service station, Hana Hou Restaurant, various food trucks, a fun little boutique, Kale Coffee Shop, Real Estate offices, hair salon, Na’alehu Park, and more! Be sure to visit the Wednesday Market in Na’alehu for some wonderful fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and LOTS of local artwork, Hawaiian woodwork pieces, jewelry, and many other craft items to enjoy!
Enjoy our outstanding location, amenities and surprising affordability for a top-rated resort in paradise! You will have high-speed internet and Wi-Fi, and unlimited on-demand TV programming as well.

Clean unit, Old Hawaii style complex, grounds are well kept with pretty flowers and palms,
coastal ocean view from this units ground floor lanai...pool has coastal view too. Feels private most of the time.Unit has 2 units above and one on side...if your neighbors are noisy at night you are going to hear them...needs some kind of sound deadening for the ceiling.

You have to go down a flight of steps to enter the condo which could be a challenge carrying luggage. The internet did not work until Julie came to the rescue with the updated Wi-Fi information. Thank you again Julie! The condo was small, but conveniently located and adequately equipped.

The good: great spot for bird watching, the complex is well maintained with pretty gardens, staff onsite (although not affiliated with this booking) are very friendly and helpful. The unfortunate: was given an incorrect code for the front door, was given incorrect information for the internet, sound transfer from the upper unit is significant, there is a large population of unhoused people living on the beach/ green space between this complex and the shoreline and we weren’t sure about overall security. Also, this unit is on the basement floor in a tropical area, so expect insects.

The condo itself the pool area and the property we enjoyed but this location is very isolated from everything, 15min drive to closest town. I was not aware that the condos here was literally the only thing around but the beach. Not bad for a short stay but be prepared with everything you need for a few days before you go.

We love staying in Punaluu every time we come back to visit family in Pahala since it’s a short 10 minute drive. The location is great if you’re looking to get away from the cities. Communication with the property manager was great and we were very pleased with this specific condo for its location and amenities. Definitely will look at staying here again in the future!
