Wonderful place. Close to green and black beaches. Convenient to volcano park. Easy access and parking is close to the unit. Great landscape. landscape
Pahala is small town with country life. Sea Colony 1 is an isolated complex overlooking a lava beach area. Unit 16 is a two story unit in wonderful location overlooking far off surf and sea grass frisbee course. Nice lawn, close to pool and hot tub, pretty sunrises and moonscapes. It is so quiet. We had packed adequate groceries for 4 days, since condo is in country. Black sand beach was close enough to walk and provided simple snorkeling and lunch. We only missed having A/C and were hot in January, especially late night upstairs when the ocean breezes lessen. We enjoyed our stay between Hilo, Volcanoes National Park and busy Kona. Good appliances, great washer and dryer. Lots of nice towels.
We were moved to Unit 11 which needed substantial maintenance. The screen on the windows were off and cracked and peeling. The lamp had frayed wires, the plug in behind the TV had about 15-things plugged into it, the kitchen equipment and materials were old, cheap, thrift-store purchased and disappointing. The pool area was not family friendly and offered no shade or feeling of relaxation.
We moved properties after only 2-nights and requested a refund which has not been responded to yet.
Our stay at this property was amazing. We loved the condo. The ocean views were amazing, and the home felt very comfortable, clean, and relaxing. We loved that it is remote, and out of the tourist core. The complex is relatively quiet and very peaceful. We are already hoping to stay again.
Truly made a great addition to our vacation in Big Island. We moved from Kona for just 2 days to stay closer to black sand beach and volcanoes park. The house is so nice, constant breeze from the sea makes AC completely unnecessary. Breeze fresh air and enjoy fantastic view!
This was a perfect spot for our family get away. Kids loved the pool and jacuzzi and the adults loved being able to see the ocean while we enjoyed our food on the porch.
Note to owners: the downstairs mattress does need to be replaced. And someone came an yelled at my kids (must have been watching us through cameras) using goggles (I totally get no scuba rules but my kids need to learn to use snorkel goggles somewhere. I do not understand the rules on this, especially for kids - they werenât hurting anyone). It made for unnecessary stress and upset the adults with unnecessary hostility. Otherwise we had a great stay.
This is a lovely condo complex and the setting of this condo allowed for wonderful ocean views. Itâs very close to black sand beach and the property is lovingly maintained by a descendant of Hawaiian royalty! We saw the most variety of birds on our trip and appreciated the big ocean views on both levels. The huge lava rock sauna also afforded great views from this quiet and remote location
The condo was well equipped (even had a jigsaw puzzle!) The view of the sunrises, especially from the upstairs master suite, was beautiful. The living room was comfortable. The lovely pool and barbeque area were a few steps from our lanai.
Minor complaint - the shower curtain in the lower bathroom kept popping off the rail (wrong sized hooks?). The tubs in both bathrooms were quite slippery.
