Island Life Retreat-Ocean Front-Beach Access

BEACHFRONT* GROUND FLOOR *WALK-OUT
The white sandy beach is reef-protected and offers a quiet, serene, authentic Hawaiian paradise experience. The turquoise warm water is perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. Easy snorkeling right in front with lots of tropical fish and sea turtles.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching magical sunrises on your ocean front patio. Relax on your lanai and listen to waves gently breaking on a distant reef. Plenty of space in this 812 sq. ft. recently remodeled, 1 bedroom condo on the ground floor to relax and unwind. Being on the ground floor, you have more open spaces just outside of your private lanai. The condo is fully equipped with everything you will need for a memorable Hawaii Island getaway.
You will have ''No Worries'' as the locals say...only to decide if you are going to spend the day on the beautiful private beach outside your lanai or go for a scenic drive along the coast to do some sightseeing. There is no public beach access so the beach will feel very private and a true getaway from all the crowds.

You will have the choice to sleep in the bedroom on the king size Sealy Plush bed, or in the front room listening to the waves and waking up to see the Sunrise from the queen size Serta Euro-Top Murphy Bed.
Recently remodeled amenities includes stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinets, counter tops, rattan furniture, linens, dishes & silverware, cookware, beach towels & mats, beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, 2 coolers, 2 lounging chairs, binoculars, and much more.
There is almost always a nice breeze blowing through the condo due to the trade winds, but for those who like a fan...there’s 2 ceiling fans with remotes and a pedestal fan, you will feel the ocean breeze will be very comfortable. (No A/C)
Beach chairs, beach towels, full kitchen with all kitchenware, linens, towels, single keurig with starter coffee pods, washer/dryer.

Free parking and 24 hour security. Free wifi and cable. Currently, the building is undergoing renovation, constructions during weekday business hours 8:30 am-5pm Monday- Friday, the pool may be closed during your stay. During the fall/winter 2023, the lanai may not have access during construction period. If you are out exploring, or hanging out on the beach, it shouldn’t affect your experience. FYI, the current discount rate is due to construction and is a great value. This is truly a beach front condo with all the amenities to have a nice relaxing island vacation. If you are looking for luxury and resort accommodations with spa services, this is not it. The Property is 10 minutes away from Polynesian culture center, and Kualoa ranch, and 5 minutes away from Hauula-loop trail, 20 minute from Turtle Bay, and 45 minutes from the Airport.

Exactly as described, perfect location
Everything in the unit is exactly as described. The construction was a minor annoyance, I understand its necessity. I would definitely stay at this property again. The protected waters of Punalu’u are some of the best! Excellent snorkeling. Every night the turtles sleep on the beach. We also saw a monk seal. The beds were sufficient, the newly remodeled shower is nice. Kitchen was very well stocked. Food trucks and a convenience store across the street. We loved our time here!

Great location on the beach, incredible sunrises
We absolutely loved the sunrises and location right on the beach! There was construction equipment right outside the back door, and lots of construction all around the property. The bedroom was not ideal as there was noise from people walking around the window but the Murphy bed in the back of the unit was great for hearing the ocean. We would stay here again!

Beautiful Location
Away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Private beaches where the turtles come right up to rest in the evenings. Nice bbq spot to cook on. The house had everything you needed! Will definately come back!

Condo on the beach
The condo was adorable. It was very clean. When we booked we knew there was construction at the rental sight. We however, had construction right outside the patio doors. The property manager quickly discounted our room. We appreciated that.,this did not ruin our vacation…the beach , literally was 10 sec from our door. The sea turtles were swimming right by us. At night the turtles came up on the beach. It was a great vacation. I’d stay there again.

Excellent rental for the week
Beautiful property located right on the beach. We stayed a week in this unit 5 of us in total. Kitchen well stocked and beds were comfortable. Lots of towels and linens, etc. Boogie boards and beach chairs provided which was really nice! Great lanai for outdoor relaxation and lounge chairs in the green space were nice too! The pool was never really open but why do the pool when the beach was right there! Turtles came up on the beach every night we stayed and returned to the ocean in the morning. The only drawback was we did not have a working dishwasher, the host tried to get a repairman out while we were there but it never worked out, only a mild inconvenience to wash dishes during our stay. The keurig was also not working and the host gave us instructions to descale it but being on vacatiom, it was not a priority. Overall a great family vacation spot!

July family vacation
We had an amazing time. The condo had everything we needed beach towels, beach chairs, toys, umbrella etc. The best part the beach was just few feet away and so was the pool. We were able to go back and forth without the hassle of going up an elevator. Beach is beautiful. We did see a turtle during our stay. Condo is close to yummy food trucks. Location is family friendly and laid back. Overall highly recommend it.
