Colony One at Sea Mountain resort is one of the most serene resorts on the Big Island. Perfect for those who want to get the true Hawaiian experience. Colony One at Sea Mountain Condos are located on the South end of the Big Island only 60 minutes from Hilo and 80 minutes from Kona and 25 minutes from Volcano National Park. The two closest towns are Na’alehu (7 miles South) and Pahala (5 miles North).
Walk to the world famous Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, and swim with the green sea turtles which bask on the beach all day long. All short drives from the resort: Green Sands Beach, South Point Cliffs, Kilauea Volcano, Ka’u Coffee Mills, and so much more. Greens Sands Beach is the only natural beach in the world that encompasses beautiful green sand made out of olivine crystals. South Point cliffs are the most southern point in the United States and are world renowned for its amazing views and cliff jumping excitement. In the other direction, Kilauea constantly spews out lava in the Volcano National Park for all to see year round. The Ka’u Coffee Mill is famous world round for it’s superior unique coffee taste- see the farm itself and take a tour of the beautiful uplands of the Ka’u district. Punalu’u Bake Shop located in Na’alehu features freshly made Sweet Bread which now ships globally, and can be sampled and enjoyed in your lunch sandwich while lounging in the gorgeously maintained grounds and gardens. Ka’u has some of the most isolated and untouched landscapes in all of Hawaii. The swimming water, fresh and salt, is warm and crystal clear, perfect for rejuvenating the body and soul. The island itself is the only place in the world that contains all 7 geographic climates. Explore icy tundras in the winder, lush green rainforests, and of course the beautiful relaxing beaches throughout the district and island.

Most guests rent vehicles at either Hilo or Kailua-Kona airports. Free parking on-site. The County of Hawaii has a public bus system with schedules, routes and fares available on the County Website.

This unit is a guest favorite as it faces the ocean having one of the best views in the complex and it has easy access to pool, hot tub, grills and grassy open space from the lanai sliding door.

A piece of paradise

The condo was just as advertised. It was the perfect place to spend a few days in the warmth of Hawaii with the sound of the ocean in the background.

NICE VACATION SUITE

Very nice vacation suite, nicely stocked kitchen with many appliances to use. The patio opens up just outside pool/hot tub area. Love the location, just down the road from black sand beach. This was our second time staying in Colony 1, can't wait to come back again!

Quiet Vacation

Unit had everything we needed. No air conditioning but lots of fans, still was too warm for us. It is very close to the pool with nice ocean views and sounds of the waves crashing. Pool was nice, not sure how often it was cleaned, the hot tub was nice but not filtered enough as it did have a heavy sunscreen film. No umbrellas available at the pool if you want shade.

The grounds were very nice!

The place was cheapened by the decor. Poor pillows, cookware, and outdoor furniture. But out stay was excellent.

Special Place

Nice location for relaxing- nearby attractions have less people especially if you’re willing to walk a little. Unit is adequate- missing a few items if you’re into cooking- no grill tools, no baking pans. Lovely pool area and grounds. Comfortable beds, linens- newer small appliances. Overall great jumping off point for southern island adventures.

Fantastic Location in Punaluu Area

This property is located in a perfect location. You get an ocean view, the pool and spa are a few steps away, and the Punaluu Black Sand Beach is less than a half-mile away. We found the property very relaxing. Just a few negatives: the bed could have been more comfortable, you could hear every movement from the neighbors upstairs, the drawer with the spoons/forks/knives wouldn't open all the way because it hit the stove. We stayed four nights, and enjoyed the vibe of the place.

Amazing Views of the Ocean!

This condo was a lucky find on our Big Island vacation. There are great views of palm trees and the ocean from the lanai. The pool and hot tub area was very nice with oceanfront views as well. 30 min to Volcano National Park and within walking distance to Black Sands Beach, with turtles. Cooler temps at night and awning windows that open to let in the nice ocean breeze made for great sleeping. Remote location is quiet and relaxing. With no restauarnts nearby, I would suggest providing more baking pans for the oven (pizza, chicken). It would also be nice to have better patio chairs since we spent a lot of time out there, and a broom to sweep up sand, etc. Overall, the place is awesome and we would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much!

Although the property was good, I felt it needs air conditioning. There are 3 or 4 fans in the property but that's just not enough to keep the house cool. Also, the Wi-Fi network listed in the sign did not exist and the property manager did not respond to my query about connecting to the Wi-Fi network.
