Near the Punaluu black sand beach, these condos have been recently renovated, and the grounds have been much improved. Though not beachfront, they are close to the beach, near enough to hear the ocean, and just a short trip (30 minutes or less) from the Volcano. Pros: golf course and black-sand beach next door, prime sea turtle viewing, close to volcano. Cons: remote location, no restaurant, beach is not great for swimming.
