Dramatic ocean and lava rock shoreline views, walk to black sand beach
(All about Julie’s place)
Relax and reconnect in one of the most stunning and serene locations in all of Hawaii! Sea Mountain Resort is a truly magical place, surrounded by beauty in every direction. Looking mauka (towards the mountains) you’re treated to lush green views of the slopes of Mauna Loa with its coffee plantations and macadamia nut farms, and makai (towards the ocean) you’ll find stunning lava rock and palm tree-lined ocean views as far as the eye can see.
(The space)
Unit #71 is a sunny and spacious ocean view studio unit that can sleep up to 4, with a queen bed in the bedroom area and a queen pull-out sofa bed in the living room. The bedroom alcove includes large windows on two walls with ocean and lanai views and louvers for air flow, and a large closet and bedside dressers with room for storage. Located inside the closet you will find plenty of hangers, extra bedding, an iron and ironing board should you find a need for them, and a clothes drying rack for your wet swimsuits and towels for use on the lanai. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with a rain shower head and fun tropical fish tiles, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash for your use. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need for your stay including a full-size refrigerator with freezer, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker/grinder, new NutriBullet blender, rice cooker, electric kettle, toaster, BBQ tools, and many pots, pans, cooking utensils and dishes. You will also find some spices, salt, pepper and cooking oil. The living area includes a new 42” smart TV for streaming or cable, some books and games, and both a ceiling and tower fan. There is a desk for your use, and wifi is provided. Ocean views from kitchen, living area and bedroom.
The expanded lanai offers two separate sitting areas, one for dining and enjoying the view, and a more private sitting area shielded by lovely tropical plants. The lanai is our favorite place to eat our meals, have our morning coffee while enjoying the sunrise views, or relaxing with a glass of wine at night while stargazing. The night sky views here are amazing due to the lack of city lights. You probably have never seen so many stars before, it’s amazing! There is plenty of room on the lanai or on the grassy area in front of the lanai to do yoga (yoga mats included!). The distant sounds of the ocean, the rustling of the palms in the warm breeze and the bird songs, combined with the dramatic view of the waves crashing against the black lava rock coastline is so breathtaking and intoxicating, you may want to spend most of your time right here!
Just a few steps away down a winding path you will come to the lovely pool area with refreshing swimming pool, a lava rock design hot tub, gas BBQ grills, bathrooms, an outdoor shower, ice machine, koi pond with waterfalls, beautiful landscaping with tiki torches, and plenty of tables, chairs and lounge chairs. With the sweeping ocean and mountain views and the warm tradewinds it’s impossible not to feel completely relaxed here!
The unit is conveniently situated near two different parking lots. You can choose to enter the unit either through the front door, where you will find a small cabinet for storage and descend down a short flight of stairs to the living area, or you can enter through the lanai door and avoid the stairs, drop off your sandy gear, ...

Great location to experience the south and east side of the island. Thoughtfully stocked. Thank you for your hospitality.

We had a great time at Punalu’u. Close to Volcanoes National Park. Walked to Black Sand Beach easily. The rental provided a few beach towels, chairs, floaties, and cooler. The place was clean and nice. It was slightly small for 4 of us but we only stayed a few days and weren’t inside much. The sofa bed was a bit better than it looks. Probably not for adults but worked for two kids! Kitchen was well equipped, we could make what we needed. It was truly a beautiful “condo” complex, well maintained. There’s laundry on site if needed via an app to pay.
We would stay there again! My big recommendation is if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, bring an eye mask. The complex has many outdoor lights on all night and the usual LED lights on all appliances, TVs in the unit.
I do recommend this place!

From snorkeling with turtles to hiking the southern coast line and visiting Valcano NP. This makes a base camp for the southern island.

Chose this location because we wanted to be close to Volcanoes National Park and have beach and pool access. This was the best vacation we’ve ever had. Loved seeing the turtles every day at Punalu’u beach. Kilauea started erupting our first morning so we made several visits to the park, even before sunrise to get the best view of the lava lake. Relatively short drives to Hilo for a helicopter tour of the volcanoes and hiking to Papakolea beach. The pool and hot tub were a great way to end our days, using the grill and chatting with others about their days. The pool is locked at 9:00 pm so there were never any worries about noise.
This condo was everything our family of 3 needed and more. Everything was easy to find. Well stocked, conveniently close to the pool with a view of the ocean from the lanai. The unit was clean and extremely comfortable. Comfy bed and pillows. Fans were perfectly positioned and kept us cool every night. Loved this place. Loved our vacation.

I appreciated being away from the bustle of some of the more populated areas. I recommend showing up with food to prepare, as I did, because stores and restaurants are a bit of a drive. The property is beautiful.
