About this house rental
Exquisite Oceanfront Luxury Home on Puako Beach Drive Big Island Hawaii. 115 FT Oceanfront views and AC in every bedroom.
This 4,500 square foot, grand elegant Puako oceanfront home is a rare find for its privacy, luxury and location. This first class estate home, with 115 feet of oceanfront, is unique to the area, since many oceanfront homes on Puako Beach Drive are old classic cottages. The town of Puako on the Kohala Coast is one of the top destinations in Hawaii for a true experience of paradise. Come discover your Aloha.
Tranquility will greet you at the front gate, as you enter a private tropical yard, which is enclosed with a lava rock wall and lush, tropical landscaping. The gardens offer an abundance of Plumeria flowers, red torch ginger blossoms, fruit trees and coconut palms.
Directly in front of the house discover some of the best snorkeling and diving conditions in the world. Sea turtles and tropical fish are a regular sight as you explore the underwater paradise. If you prefer to enjoy the turquoise, crystal clear waters from the surface, this home supplies you with stand up paddle boards and kayaks so you can become one with nature, while the others can watch from the lanai while listening to slack key guitar on the outdoor speakers. A few steps away is Paniau Beach for additional turtle watching, swimming and water sports.
Glorious Oceanfront and Outdoor Living
This prestigious, luxury home is designed to let the ocean environment envelope you while lounging on the enormous lanai. Enjoy the abundant sunshine and tranquil atmosphere of the blue Pacific ocean from the living, dining and kitchen areas as the home’s combined 96-feet of disappearing walls open up to the ocean vistas, gardens, and all lanais. Gaze at the Big Island’s famous volcanic mountaintops to the east and the island of Maui on the horizon.
Next, ease into the blue pacific for fun and total relaxation. Enjoy the sight of Hawaii’s humpback whales or spinner dolphins playing along the Puako coastline, while you bask in the sun and sophisticated luxury. Whale watching in the winter is truly spectacular from this home’s vantage point. You will be mesmerized as they breech over and over again while the mothers teach their calves how to leap and dive. It’s better than a National Geographic documentary!
The large, beautiful lawn surrounds the property to expand the barbecue crowd or provide plenty of room for outdoor games so the kids (or your inner kid) can romp and play. The smooth-stone, outdoor shower awaits your sandy feet after an ocean swim or a long day at the beach. Or allow us to schedule you a massage therapist to visit you at the home for the ultimate experience in seaside relaxation.
You will plan your evenings around the breathtaking views of the year round colorful sunsets and you may even be lucky enough to see the famous "green flash." Capture breathtaking sunset photos every night to remember your time in paradise.
After the sunset, hone your astronomy skills with Mana Kai’s own telescope, as Mother Earth embraces you with star-studded skies and shooting stars all while you listen to the soothing ocean waves lap across the lava.
Luxurious Indoor
The home features a gourmet kitchen for the chefs among you to enjoy the ocean view and sway to Hawaiian island tunes while preparing your meals. It has everything you need to prepare your meals… or just relax while you hire one of our private chefs to impress you with their own local culinary masterpiece. Top of the line appliances and granite counter tops are just the beginning. The kitchen is completely equipped with beautiful dishware and cookware to feed a full house in any of three dining areas indoors or out.
Beautiful island style décor and art adorn the home. Mahogany sliding pocket doors disappear to create the perfect open air venue for entertaining and enjoying the home’s close integration with the land and sea. Other features include vaulted ceilings with uplit soffits, a museum-quality, world class shell collection, travertine floors and so much more. The house was designed by a leading Hawaiian architect to channel the flow of the trade winds. Although air conditioning will keep you comfortable in the bedrooms in the evenings should the trade winds stop blowing, on all but the hottest days each year the ocean breezes and ceiling fans provide the perfect temperature to enjoy this tropical paradise and still allow the sound of the waves to lure you to sleep.
All bedrooms feature stunning ocean views and flat screen tvs. The two master suites upstairs offer superior privacy on opposite ends of the house and feature private lanai balconies and gorgeous en-suite bathrooms. The two downstairs connected rooms (private door) share a spacious bath and each room leads directly to the large downstairs lanai.
In the evening, you may want to unwind in the media room with a book or enjoy the 55-inch flat screen television with premium cable, movie channels and surround sound.
Should you need to reach the outside world, the home is equipped with a high-speed, wireless internet connection. A private office upstairs supplies two separate desks and a laser printer if you must bring your work with you—and a Punee convertible into a queen bed for additional sleeping flexibility with your party.
Nearby Resort Access—Beaches, Golf and More
Consistently rated as one of the best beaches in the world by magazines including Conde Nast and Travel + Leisure, Hapuna Beach's 200 feet of white sand is a premiere destination on the Island of Hawaii. Long, wide, and phenomenally sandy, it has everything one dreams of in a classic Hawaiian beach—abundant sun, surf, crystal clear water, shade, a food shack with famous Hawaiian shaved ice and well-maintained facilities. Best of all, Hapuna Beach is less than 10 minutes from Mana Kai, so grab the beach gear, Boogie Boards, and surfboard and head over at a moment’s notice.
Other popular nearby activities include world class golf at the championship courses on the Kohala Coast resort properties a mere 15 minutes away. The incomparable Mauna Kea Golf Course offers golfers the perfect challenge to match their level of play.

Just a few miles south are the unforgettable Mauna Lani Resort's two championship golf courses designed by Francis H. I'I Brown.

Our family had a wonderful vacation staying in this incredible home! Not only is the home beautifully decorated with custom features like the one-way window in the master bath shower and custom inlaid cabinets, it is very well stocked for cooking/baking, has plenty of beach towels and snorkeling gear, an ingenious layout to keep the breeze flowing throughout the home all day and night, and has lovely landscaping. On top of that, the views of the ocean are amazing, all from the privacy of the lanais on the west side of the home, Next-door access to snorkeling and kayaking on the reef, and Hapuna Beach—white sand—is about 12 minutes away by car. Owners and property managers were easy to work with and super responsive. Can’t wait to get back!

Stayed with the whole family after competing in the Ironman 70.3 that was hosted at the nearby Fairmont.
we had a great time. the property is in a prime location for snorkeling. in fact saw more/better sea life by the vrbo than on our expensive scuba trip.
the set up was perfect for large group - 3 adult kids with spouses/sig other. able to come together when we wanted, and create space when needed.
also, made good use of the snorkeling gear, paddle boards, kayaks, grill and kitchen.
only negative is the road to the vrbo is in great need of resurfacing. long and bumpy ride in and out.
but overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing stay in a beautiful home.
5.0
The house was amazing. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room. Every day we were lucky enough to see whales right in front of the property. There is great snorkeling right next door. We loved every minute of our stay and would book again in the future. Could not have been a more perfect stay. The owners and house managers were very responsive and helpful.

Wow! We had an incredible 10 days in this lovely home. The location is at the end of a quiet oceanfront neighborhood north of the Fairmont Hotel where we attended a family wedding. There is a path that connects along the oceanfront and my son and I paddle boarded from the home past the Fairmont. The oceanfront is full of interesting tidepools and there is nearby access for snorkeling and paddle boarding. The home is equiped with all manner of watersport equipment for use: snorkels, masks, fins, paddleboards, kayaks and boogie boards. No need to drag your gear to Hawaii! The house is fully equipped for cooking, grilling and dining and we enjoyed making and enjoying meals together, especially at dinner time watching stunning sunsets. The house is nicely located to explore beaches to the north, Waimea, and Hilo side of the island as well as Kona, Captain Cook and southern beaches and sights. We spent time on seven of the islands beautiful and diverse beaches.
After long days of exploration we always were greeted by this beautiful and comfortable property as our own Hawaiian home to rest and recuperate. We highly recommend this luxury property.

A very spacious home with a good flow inside to outside. Big comfortable outdoor space to enjoy the nightly sunsets. Well equipped kitchen for dining in. Great proximity for snorkeling just next door, and a short walk up the coast to watch the sea turtles come in to bed down at night. A short drive to a beautiful public beach, and many dining and grocery options nearby. We had the whole family there - 5 grandkids and their parents and grandparents. All were comfortable at night and entertained all through the day.
This is a 5-star review, and the only negative was the sliding glass wall sections that need some maintenance for easy access between living room and lanai.

Amazing property located on the best snorkeling reef- few people and many fish species. Wonderful kitchen and lanai with 4 beach facing bedrooms. Quiet neighborhood but close to other resorts and amenities. Not to mention, the most beautiful sunsets. We will be back!

We loved this place! Perfect location, beautiful and spacious house, completely well-equipped with everything you might need or want. Property manager was so kind and helpful and made check-in and check-out seamless. Our group's age range was 12-76 and everyone loved it! Thank you to the hosts for providing such a peaceful, lovely, and generous experience -- we really hope to return!

Our group consisted of golfers, water enthusiasts and nature lovers. We were an active group seeking a beautiful home on the beach that offered conveniences for all our wishes. We loved our time at this property. We had studied this property extensively prior to booking. The home and surrounding area was just as expected. It is a lovely home with much charm situated along the coast of Puako, Hawaii.
Our group consisted of four couples. All the 4 bedrooms were comfortable with air conditioning. We slept well. The downstairs two bedrooms shared a closet space and a bathroom. To enhance our privacy, one couple use the half bath right across bedroom entrance and we were able to easily share the adjoining closet and shower. Each bedroom had a private lanai which was nice for privacy when desired. The kitchen was well appointed and very clean. The living spaces were very comfortable and tastefully decorated.
We spent most of our ‘at home’ time on the lanai’s or walking around on the lava to see turtles and aquatic life in the tide pools or in the ocean. The proximity of the home to the water is close. The beach beyond the home is primarily lava but there is water access nearby for snorkeling and other activities. The owners were very generous with their beach equipment, which made utilizing the ocean very convenient. The Orchid Fairmont is 15 minute walking distance on a trail along the beach. If you continue on you’ll reach the Mauna Lani resort and beach club. We were in Puako during whale season and enjoyed watching them all times of the day.
The home is in close proximity to many other amenities such as restaurants, grocery store, and other resorts and beaches.
The owners and local home manager were very attentive and helpful with our questions or requests. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family of seven, ages 23-81 and spanning three generations, had a wonderful stay at Mana Kai. What an incredible home!! It exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay here again.
The location is central to beautiful, white sand Hapuna beach, high end resorts and most activities, while remaining private and secluded. To our delight there were kayaks, snorkel gear, beach chairs, towels and more to use during our stay. We kayaked out on the ocean frontage of the house and watched as spinner dolphins frolicked within feet of us.
The kitchen was well stocked, and we used the heck out of the coffee maker. All the beds were comfy cozy and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was an absolute necessity, even in November!
We were all sad to have to leave this little piece of paradise. Thanks so much to Nikki and Christian for being excellent house hosts. And thank you to the family for sharing your home with 7 happy strangers. Mahalo!

We spent two weeks at this amazing beachfront property, while on the Big Island for Ironman Kona. We were joined by our three adult children, their significant others and two grandchildren ages 7 and 3. The house had plenty of space for all ten of us, without feeling crowded.
The house is well furnished and stocked, throughout.
Paniau Beach, next door, provided fun with the kayaks, boogie boards, and fantastic snorkeling. The beach path at Paniau led us to the Petroglyph Park, as well as the Fairmont Orchid for brunch or an evening meal when we chose not to cook. Tide pools provided much entertainment and there were sea turtles, almost daily, right in front of the house and along the beach path. Morning coffee views and beautiful sunsets are never ending on the lanai.
This was our second stay at this property, partly due to the owners and house manager. Both were quick to respond to any questions or concerns and provided endless information for restaurants, outings, etc.
We enjoy the quiet and well-situated location of this beautiful property and can't wait to return!

Incredible property with fabulous lanai and world-class snorkeling off your back porch
The location for this home is perfect and we loved our vacation in large part due to the special accommodations at this property.
Our family of nine comprised of my husband and I, our four children (18, 15, 13, 11), my parents and my mother in-law fit comfortably in this incredible home which we used as a home base for our week stay on the Big Island. We snorkeled every morning (using the fins provided at the property in the garage - we brought our own dry snorkels and water shoes) and saw incredible fish, sea turtles, spinner dolphins, eels and other sea life. This property effectively includes a daily snorkeling trip for everyone by virtue of the proximity to one of the best reefs on the Big Island.
The Property Manager and owner were both incredibly helpful and connected us to various options for a chef to come into the house and cook an authentic island meal for our family. Check in was easy.
There were many other special amenities that show that the owners have thought through the details. For example,
the shell collection is incredibly unique and special (needs dusting) and the entire family spent a lot of time looking at the collection. We loved the ability to sleep with the doors open and have a breeze constantly flowing through the house, including watching a movie in the family room with the doors open. The sliding door set up throughout the house is elaborate so you can close doors with a glass door, screen or shutters. Note to owners, a few of the screen doors in the main living area are sticking a bit and the tracks may need a little love.
We loved this house and hope to visit again.

We had a wonderful stay here! The house and property are as lovely as pictured. The house has fantastic patio spaces to dine, relax, and enjoy the views. There are breathtaking sunsets every evening and we saw whales breaching more than once during our stay. The hosts were excellent communicators and made sure we were greeted by their property manager upon arrival.
The house is well stocked and has most every kitchen tool and appliance you could need. There are also plenty of water toys for the beach.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend this beautiful home!

Outstanding beachfront property!
We enjoyed an amazing two weeks at Mana Kai villa with adult family members. This is an outstanding beachfront property with ample amenities and fantastic ocean views. From the well stocked chef's kitchen to the abundance of watersports equipment, this house has it all.
The owners were very helpful in providing information on restaurants, booking activities, etc. prior to arrival. Nikki, the local house manager, was awesome in answering questions during our stay.
Mana Kai was so beautiful and relaxing, we didn't want to leave. Hope to visit again soon!

The property and its location look increible online, yet somehow exceeded our expectations upon arrival! The location on the water is impeccable. The screen doors that kept the ocean breeze flowing throughout the house was a dream come true! There were amazing restaurants nearby to enjoy throughout the week, and memory-creating activities as well - including ziplining, mountain biking, a boat charter, and an unforgettable helicopter tour with a waterfall landing! Highly highly highly recommend this area and this house!

This gorgeous property exceeded our expectations!! The view, the quiet location, the never ending amenities, and amazing beds. The snorkeling and sea turtles right at the property made it difficult to ever want to leave. The kitchen amenities and beach amenities were over the top. Everything you could imagine, they had. We are already looking for future dates!
Niki was amazing! She was always available and gave great information for local sites and shopping.

Beautiful Location, Local Manager (Nicole) was great
We had two families at this property for 9 nights, and we had a great time. Quiet location, beautiful views, and great to explore northwest side of island. Closeness to the water and good launch spot (25 meters away) for the kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkeling was a real hit with our teenager and college kids......and us old farts too! Sea Turtles basking in the sun each day right in front of the house was cool, and unique sunset's every night kept us relaxed.

A Snorkeling Dream!
We loved this location! Snorkeling off Puako was amazing. This house is just as described and offers so many great spots to jump in the water and see turtles, fish, etc. The owners have everything you could possibly need and are so attentive. Few tips worth repeating….pack snorkel shoes or use theirs. Climbing over the rocks to get to the water is rough on bare feet. Also stop at Costco. Local grocery stores and very expensive and the best views for meals are at the house. If you opt to eat out book weeks in advance. Nothing was available for prime dimmer times a week out and last minute plans do not work out well. Other places nearby that we had fun discovering: the octopus farm, 49’s black sand beach and the Mauna Lani sunset golf cart tour. Mahalo for the memories!! We hope to come back one day!

Wonderful vacation home
We had a great experience. The owners & managers were quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The views are incredible & we saw many whales & turtles. The layout was perfect for our 3 generation family but it would also work well for 3 couples. Highly recommend. We didn’t want to leave!

Hate to leave
This property is outstanding. Puako is a hidden gem on the big island. Niki and Cristian are extremely accessible and lovely to deal with. Swimming is a little difficult but the pools out front make for a great relief from the hot sun. World class snorkelling and turtles galore! I hope this is the first of many stays.

Wonderful time
Our family loved the house and the ocean right outside the door. The sound and sights of the ocean were amazing. We saw many green turtles on the lava rocks and swimming around in the pools at low tide each day. The snorkeling was the best we have experienced! The water was so clear and full of colorful fish. The house provides all the equipment, Just check everything thoroughly before you get out on the water, we had some mishaps with broken kayak seats and broken snorkeling masks that we didn’t discover till our on the water.
The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We would love to come back again!

Wedding Vacation
Our daughter was married at the Fairmont Orchid on June 23rd. While we stayed there for a bit, we soon moved into Mana Kai for a beautiful and relaxing stay. The tide breezes through the incredible home were unreal, and the entire home was comfortable and accessible. The managers were always available for questions. The tide pools out front became our daily spot to sit in with our champagne! Amazing! Our only suggestions: the freezer is not working 100% and the cleaning crew needs to clean the upper ledges of bugs regularly up high. You can see them as your walking on the upper level. Way to beautiful of a house to allow that to be there! Otherwise, perfect paradise. We will be back! Mike and Kim Gavin

Amazing Home
Absolutely loved our stay! The house is unique and in prime location. Loved going to sleep with doors wide open and hearing the ocean. Our children enjoyed exploring all the things the ocean has to offer RIGHT in the back yard. Lots of fish and turtles visited us daily. Definitely recommend this house and we plan to come back!
