About this house rental
Enjoy sunsets from the privacy of the large covered lanai, a sandy beach right out front, enticing tidepools, and the serenity of the perpetual song of ocean breezes in the trees at this lovely oceanfront setting.
This versatile beachfront home can serve as the perfect romantic getaway for a couple, or comfortably accommodate a family or group of friends. The spacious, nicely manicured lawn and easily accessed beach invite both the playful frolic of children and relaxed lounging of adults. Sharing the beach with resident sea turtles is a daily highlight, and during winter months savor the opportunity to view and listen to the grandeur of the visiting humpback whales from the living room, lanai and backyard.
Choose your dining experience, from the beautiful teak indoor dining table to the comfortable and roomy environs of the ocean side lanai, which extends the length of the main house. Here you will find a beautiful outdoor dining table, cozy lounge chairs, and the punee, a large built-in lounging area which can be used for outdoor sleeping for those more adventurous souls.
Each bedroom has its own outside entrance complete with full bathroom. The large master bedroom, with king bed, opens out to the ocean through a sliding glass door and onto its own lanai. One of the other three bedrooms opens out to the ocean and onto its own lanai as well.
First class snorkeling, scuba diving and surfing is available within a short walking distance at Paniau, a gorgeous little bay at the end of Puako.

It was just what we were looking for, a nice place to relax on the beach. A fun vibe, great ocean view and private. Gregg the host was great to work with! Would love to go back!!

We enjoyed our week here so much. It was everything we wanted. Peaceful, relaxing and the most beautiful sunsets. Don’t think twice about this place. The property managers were very kind and accommodating. We will definitely be back and will stay here again!

Sea turtles abound and will rest for the evening on the beach right outside the house. Perfect spot to watch the sun set, relax, and pretend that you have no cares in the world.

We had an incredible stay at this beachside property! The location couldn't be better—right on the beach with huge waves perfect for surfing and swimming. The nearby food trucks offer a fantastic variety of delicious options, making dining easy and enjoyable. The property itself is well-maintained and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We can't wait to come back!

The property is deceiving. As you walk up to the front gate, it looks like a fairly middle of the road, simple property. But once you open that front gate, paradise and privacy awaits you in the most breathtaking kaleidoscope of colours and nature. The property has an old Hawaiian vibe, with spacious living areas, inside and out, lots of windows and light, and that marvellous view of the ocean, right outside your door. My family says it will be hard to consider staying anywhere else.

We lived the individual rooms and then the awesome common area was perfect. We saw so many animals/greenery right on the property!

We have been to Hawaii many times and this is our all time favorite place we have stayed. It was perfect with our 2 year old grandson being able to play easily or wade in the water with his family. Having the living quarters separated from the bedrooms also made for a mixed family gathering that we weren’t bothering anyone if we kept different hours. No AC, but they provide plenty of fans. We will definitely be coming back. I’m missing the sound of the breaking waves as I type this.

Four friends from Molokai decided to hop on a plane and take an interisland vacation and we couldn’t have asked for a better home, location, or property management. Truly a beautiful place, incredibly comfortable casual and relaxing. Everyone had their own space (bedrooms and bathrooms) and the common area was perfect (large kitchen, dining, covered lanai and living room). We spent 5 nights and no one wanted to go home. Puako is a very special and unique neighborhood. It’s a throw back to a quieter Hawaii time and should be savored. Thank you Gregg for managing such a lovely property. We all truly appreciated it!

I unfortunately had to cancel as I got sick at the last minute. However, my daughter and family still went. They absolutely LOVED it. Said it was perfect. Couldn’t have been improved upon. Greg, the Manager, was responsive and helpful. They went out one night and the 17 year old son said (why are we here when we could be on our own wonderful lanai with a view.” Hopefully I can rent again and be able to enjoy the place myself.

If you want a comfy Hawaiian cottage with lots of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, this is your spot.

There are few things better than watching a sunset on a private-feeling beach, unless of course you add a plethora of green sea turtles swimming around and sunning themselves right nearby. A magical home with a spectacular view and snorkeling right outside!

We enjoyed an amazing week in Puako at this lovely home. The layout was great- lots of privacy for our three teens, but a beautiful main gathering space for us to enjoy dinners, movies, and games (and lots of beautiful sunsets!) Watching the waves every morning and night was so relaxing and blissful. We have fallen in love with the Big Island and can't wait to be back!

Beautiful location. Hot in the afternoons when no breeze. Some rooms do not cool off. Asked for extra fans and Gregg delivered 3 extra fans. Close to Kona Diving. 8 family members. Here for 3 weeks in June. Great family time. Eldest daughter did pay extra to have a portable AC put in room across for main living area. It was very nice that they accommodated her and her family bthanks again Gregg.

Heaven for me is seclusion surrounded by tropical beauty and my family. Privacy for all of us in 4 separate unique spaces. The fourth room can be a king or separated into two twins. You wouldn’t want to put small kids back there because it’s kind of behind the house. No view there but it’s own bathroom as do all of the rooms here.
If you’re looking for natural beauty and an outdoor feeling even indoors come stay here. If you’re looking for upscale accommodations make reservations at the Marriott.
The owners responded immediately to an issue we had with the dishwasher.
Bonus experience was turtles every day on the lava fields as well as one on the beach one day. I was so grateful to find a pair of water shoes available here as you really need them for the rocky beach.

Place was wonderful

Everything was perfect. Could use some pest control, found big and small cockroaches in every-room throughout the stay. Which made it hard to want to cook or use kitchen items.
Loved having 4 separate bedroom/bathrooms, plenty of room for everyone, with beautiful views of the ocean!

This was our second stay in Puako, and this property was a gem to find. The character and charm of this home was exactly what we wanted. There was enough space for six of us to spread out. We are a family of four, and our adult kids brought their significant others.
The lanai is amazing and perfect for lounging. Many a game was played and dinners enjoyed on the outside dining table.
The kitchen was more than equipped with everything we needed, and Gregg, the property manager, was always responsive with questions.
There is an abundance of sea life and the turtles were so fun to watch. The tidepools fun to explore and oh those sunsets.... spectacular to watch.
This home is definitely one we would return to for another Big Island vacation.

This family vacation was the first in many years. I celebrated a very BIG birthday with my three adult children and my two grandchildren. The time we spent and the memories we built will last forever. The home was idealy set up for us. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was outfitted with everything you need for preparing a big family meal/barbeque. The ocean view from the LV as well as two of the bedrooms is breathtaking. The property manager Greg was awesome. We hope to return again! Thank you for a wonderful stay...Walli

This house is truly relaxing. Besides the drop dead view of the ocean, and the best beach in Puako, the house is well equipped with a full kitchen ready for entertaining. Lots of prvacay as each pod is an ensuite bedroom, and the main house stands alone.
You simply would be hard pressed to find a better house for a group anywhere on the planet. Period.
We will be back !

This home was an amazing place to be with friends enjoying the beautiful view from the lanai, looking for sea turtles in the shallow waters and on rocks and the beautiful sunsets at night. The home was well equipped for our needs. The lanai was plenty big enough for a sitting area and a dining table. I would highly recommend if you want a quiet place to relax, watch turtles, spinner dolphins from the backyard and beautiful sunsets.

Beautiful location, great for family vacation
We had an incredible time in Puako. The location could not be more beautiful and better - it’s in close proximity to absolutely wonderful beaches, we saw gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and turtles everyday, and the neighborhood is accessible and quiet.
The house was great for a group of 8 - two families of four - affording a lot of privacy since each bedroom has its own entrance and bathroom, and they are separated from the kitchen and dining area. We had some issues with the WiFi due to a storm, and they were very responsive in helping us troubleshoot.
The only downsides: except for the master bedroom the other bedrooms are small and not too great to hang out in, some of the appliances could use upgrading (the dishwasher), and the bedroom with twin beds is quite separate from the main house area, which made two of our kids a little nervous on the first few nights.
While the house and furniture feel a little run down, the space, location, and outdoor areas are so great that I’d highly recommend to others, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Exceeded expectations!
For our family of eight, ranging in ages from eleven to eighty, this was the perfect spot. Beautiful location with great snorkeling right in front of us. Nicely finished and appointed with large kitchen, family room, and lanai. Sunsets outrageously breathtaking.

Beautiful Oceanfront Property
We loved our stay here and the location is ideal. The ocean view is perfect and the beach/tide pools offered close up viewing of so many creatures. The house is designed well for outdoor living, so we spent very little time inside other than sleeping and cooking.
Highly recommend for those looking to enjoy the outdoor beauty of the Big Island, but it may not be for you if you are looking for lavish interiors or indoor entertainment. We traveled with kids and they had a blast. I would go back again to enjoy the beach, sunsets, snorkeling, stargazing, and views that this property offers.

Paradise in Puako
Our family of 6 really enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces at 134 Puako. Kitchen is well stocked and dining on the lanai was amazing especially during sunset. Lots of sea life to explore along the shore, and snorkeling was fun. Sandy beach not too far away, and groceries and restaurants within driving distance. Perfect, quiet getaway!

Family Christmas in Hawaii!
Our family of Grandma and Grandpa and two adult children with their families stayed here over Christmas. The location was excellent, right on the water, on a sandy and rocky beach. There was also a nice grassy back yard for lounging on lawn chairs or for kids to play. The accommodations worked well for our group, with a common kitchen/dining/living area and then separate bedrooms in their own little pods for each family group. The outdoor covered patio was large, faced the ocean and was great for eating outside. One thing that didn’t quite work well were the screen doors out to the patio, but I believe the owners were going to replace some doors. We had a few interactions with Gregg, the property manager, and he was very personable and helpful.

Outstanding Aloha Vacation
Flawless experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this home and especially the access to the beach. The marine life was beautiful and distracting because we couldn’t keep our eyes off it. The outdoor showers were a real plus. We all loved them. The lanai was outstanding and well as the other areas of the house. The two refrigerators were a real help. We went to the Saturday farmers market in Waimea and bought lots of fruits and veges. All went well look forward to coming back.

We Loved Our Time Here
We really enjoyed staying in Puako at this property. The setting was beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the lanai, and watched all but one sunset of our stay from the beach in front of this place. The property was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Gregg was very easy to work with and was very helpful and accessible. We'd love to come here again.
