"The bedroom was nice, the owner and his dog were friendly, and the view was beautiful. But the Vrbo description did not clearly explain several deficiencies. First, the bathroom was not attached to the unit and was across a muddy field. Second, the shower was cold water only, which was very unpleasant on a 69 degree windy evening. Third, there was no A/C or heat in the unit. I don’t blame the owner for these deficiencies, I blame Vrbo for not having a clear description "

#05 Colony One at Sea Mt. Punalu`u

#05 Colony One at Sea Mt. Punalu`u

8/10 Good
"It was a nice spot in an area where there aren’t many places to stay. We liked the proximity to Volcano National Park and Punaluu black sand beach. It was a cute place and had the basics we would need while there. It’s definitely best suited for a couple, not a family. (Amenities were obviously for two people: beach towels, chairs, etc). The king size bed was comfortable and the sofa bed was exactly what one would expect it to be. This seems nit picky, but the pillows were awful. There had to be 6-8 pillows and they were all weird and uncomfortable. That was the worst part of the stay. We are a pretty forgiving and flexible family, and all of us complained about the weird pillows. Overall, worth it for the location. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and we made use of the grill, which was convenient because it was so close to this unit. Outdoor seating was nice, too."
