Welcome to Hidden Tiki Ohana at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, a serene retreat nestled in one of the most breathtaking locations in all of Hawaii. With panoramic views of the dramatic ocean and stunning lava rock shoreline, your getaway promises relaxation and reconnection surrounded by nature's beauty. When you gaze mauka (towards the mountains), you will be mesmerized by the verdant slopes of Mauna Loa, adorned with coffee plantations and macadamia nut farms. Conversely, makai (towards the ocean) reveals awe-inspiring vistas lined with palm trees, where the tranquil waves invite you to unwind.

Unit #71 is an inviting and spacious ocean-view studio designed for comfort, accommodating up to four guests. It features a cozy queen bed in the sleeping area and a queen pull-out sofa bed in the living room. The bedroom alcove boasts large windows offering mesmerizing ocean and lanai views, complemented by louvers that allow refreshing airflow.

The expansive lanai offers two distinct sitting areasโ€”one designated for dining while savoring the view, and another more intimate space shielded by lush tropical plants. This beloved spot is perfect for enjoying meals, sipping morning coffee while basking in sunrise views, or unwinding with a glass of wine under a starlit sky. Here, you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of daily life; the night sky is spectacular, free from city lights, allowing you to marvel at countless stars above. Thereโ€™s even enough room for yoga sessions on the lanai or the grassy area just in front (yoga mats are provided). Listen to the soothing sounds of crashing waves, rustling palms, and melodious birdsongโ€”this paradise will make it hard to leave!

A short stroll down a winding path leads you to the delightful pool area, which features a refreshing swimming pool, a unique lava rock hot tub, gas BBQ grills, restrooms, an outdoor shower, and even a koi pond adorned with waterfalls. Surrounded by beautiful landscaping and tiki torches, itโ€™s impossible not to surrender to total relaxation here with sweeping ocean and mountain views complemented by gentle trade winds.

Your unit is conveniently located near two different parking areas, providing flexible access. You can enter through the front door, where a small cabinet awaits for storage, or use the lanai door to drop off sandy gear and rinse off after beach visits. While there's no air conditioning in the unit, breezy fans and open windows generally keep conditions pleasant thanks to the lovely trade winds. When you desire a cool dip, the pool or beach is just a quick trip away.

Summary: The grounds are beautiful. No one helped with checkin couldnโ€™t find #71. Didnโ€™t know where to park. There wasnโ€™t as much airflow as described. Really stuffy/hot sweating. The bed was hard, the couch really needs to be replaced. The loungers at the pool were chained together one facing the pool, one facing the other way. Couldnโ€™t move any more than a couple inches. Very strange. There really is nothing around the area. The condo was clean and kitchen stocked.
