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!
