Built in 2007, this fully screened tropical pole house construction is an award-winning architectural style and offers 4 very spacious bedroom suites ALL WITH OCEAN VIEWS and 4 1/2 baths.
There are four-bedroom suites in all: 3 large, beautifully appointed king suites and 3 1/2 baths in the main house PLUS an additional king master suite and bath in the unattached 2nd-story studio apartment. ALL BEDROOMS ARE AIR-CONDITIONED.
*RATES ARE BASED ON 10 ADULTS. ADDITIONAL PERSONS ARE WELCOMED UP TO 11 HOWEVER THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL FEES.
The spacious gourmet kitchen with 2 dishwashers, both indoor and outdoor dining tables allow a variety of dining experiences, a large and airy great room with media center, den, and grand lanai all have spectacular views of the ocean and are steps away from the beach.
The up-scale apartment also boasts a fully equipped kitchen and spectacular ocean and bay views. It also lies within the villa's gates and walls.
Two outdoor hot showers in private tropical gardens lead from the garden gates to the sandy beach. Your warm lagoons, only steps away, are only 2-5 feet deep with sandy bottoms and are home to green sea turtles and colorful juvenile fish. The ancient Hawaiians taught their children how to swim and fish and cast net in these tidal emerald lagoons.
The beach boasts the best snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking on the island!
In low tide the tidal pools will inspire with a trove of tiny fish, waiting for the tide to sweep them back into the lagoon. In January through May, 45-foot humpback whales will thrill with their breaching and swimming with their young.

We had a great family time. 11 people aged 13 to 80. We spent 7 nights.
Really enjoyed being in a house for togetherness. The lanai was great with ocean view. The ocean in front is really just for beauty.
But boogie boards and chairs and sand toys made the beach we drove to fun. And it is a short drive.
We cooked, played games inside and outside.
Went to a hotel for 4 nights after and everyone preferred the house and wished we had more time there

We rented Marie’s home for a vacation after my daughter’s wedding which was held at the Four Seasons, Hualalai.
In many ways this was better than being at the Four Seasons as it allowed our family to come together as a family. It was a glorious place to decompress after the stress of a wedding weekend and all that goes with the planning of a major event.
We truly appreciated and enjoyed the magical oasis of Marie’s home. The home was as described, very clean and the short walk to the beach to watch the sunset and see turtles and a myriad of other sea life was incredible. We also appreciated being able to see the stars as it was far enough away from the resorts to have a much clearer view of the sky without the light coming from the resorts. The view of the ocean from the master suite and lanai was unparalleled! And the lanai was the favorite gathering place for the family.
The best response in describing Marie’s home was from my husband who repeatedly commented, “You did very well in choosing this place!”

My wife and I stayed here with my son and his wife and 9 year old along with my daughter, her husband and 7 month infant. The house and adjoining apartment over the garage ( perfect for the parents with the baby) worked well for us, with immediate access to the only sandy part of Puako Bay. The outdoor porch was spacious and the house was well equipped both inside and outside, including lots of portable chairs and boogie boards to bring to the beach. The area is close to some of the best snorkeling on the Big Island, including the “key hole” reef.
We were fortunate to encounter, Marie, the owner, earlier in the year when we were reconnoitering the area. She was staying at the house and hosting a small gathering when we wandered by. Most graciously, she invited us in from the beach after we said we had rented it Lin March and gave us a preview tour of the house, so we had a great idea of what to expect prior to our arrival.
This is a great vacation rental (he writes as he sits on the porch his last day listening to the waves and gazing out over the Bay towards the Mauna Lani Hotel).

Beautiful home with a stunning view of the ocean. The pools just out the back door are a spectacular place to swim (perfect for kids) and snorkel. Loved seeing all the turtles. This is also the perfect place to watch the sunset which was gorgeous every night. We were a party of 10 and fit perfectly. Marie couldn’t have been more attentive, caring host. Thank you Marie. This vacation has given us everlasting family memories.

Over the past two decades, we have rented many outstanding premium vacation homes in the area. This home may be the best of them. The house is impeccably designed, built, appointed, and maintained. The beach access and ocean views are outstanding. The owner and local agent are attentive, helpful, and welcoming. We hope to visit again.

The property is beautifully presented on the beach. 7 of us shared the accommodation, which is set on a quiet road by the beach. The weather was great during our stay (2 weeks at c. 88 degrees). The villa is position on a dry part of the Island on the West coast. The sea was calm with plenty of fish and turtles. Big Island is quite large, so you typically need to travel 45 mins to 90 mins for most activities. These are generally to the South or to the East. The owner, Marie, was most helpful with advice and accommodating when our plans changed. We could not have asked for more.
5.0
The house was beautifully built, perfectly located, and had everything we could anticipate needing (completely stocked kitchen, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach towels, etc.). We spent ten days enjoying time relaxing out on the lanai, snorkeling off the beach next to the house, and at the end of the Puako road (a top snorkeling and dive spot). The outdoor showers next to the house made rinsing off easy. Spotted many Green Sea Turtles on the beach and in the water. Make sure to either head out of the lagoon farther where it starts to get deeper, or take a quick drive to the end of the road, where entry immediately leads to the edge of the reef and fish are plentiful. The house is conveniently located next to Beach 69, a great swimming beach, and Hapuna beach if you want to boogie board. Don't miss the malasada truck at the intersection of the road and the highway (but drive don't walk). Our extended family of 4 adults and 3 tweens fit easily into the house with enough private space for everyone. The owner was incredibly responsive to any questions. Total luxury!

Over a year ago, my husband and I decided that instead giving “stuff” to the kids and grandkids, we would make memories. After much discussion with the family (our two kids, their spouses, and four grandkids, ages 11 to 17) about what time would work for all involved (school, jobs, etc.) we settled on the fourth week of March 2022. I had already found this house, and thank goodness, it was available. It has three suites with king-size beds in the main house, plus the apartment with beds for each of the three boys. Perfect for our family of three couples, one girl (the extra bed in the upstairs room) and three boys. The house was on the beach so we could snorkel right there, and Hapuna Beach is a ten minute drive for boogie boarding. My husband and I planned to relax and not to have to go any further than that, yet the kids could explore more of the island if they chose. (Note: For Hapuna Beach State Park, there is a $20 charge per car pus a $5 per person per day, but the beach is worth it.)
The house is lovely, with everything as depicted in the description and more. We all had our private areas but whoever wasn’t in or on the water enjoyed time together on the comfortable lanai. One of the very nice features of the home was the dining table that seated everyone for family meals, a rare find in a VRBO. There were plenty of dishes, spices and condiments available, towels, beach chairs and random snorkeling equipment. We rented more snorkeling equipment from the handy nearby General Store. (Their Kona coffee ice cream is delicious!)
Because my husband died of cancer in January, the trip was not as we had anticipated, but it was a gentle and healing time for the nine of us, and yes, many good memories were made.
Many thanks to our wonderful and generous host, Marie, and her local representative, Katherine. Both were gracious, readily available, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better experience. Mahalo nui loa.

Our family of 7 fit very comfortably in the beautiful house, and our local family of 4 more joined us most days for dinner. There was plenty of room and supplies, dishes, towels, quality beach and snorkel gear for all of us. The beach was perfect and the whales sporting in the ocean put the experience over the top. Thanks for a wonderful week in a great location.

My wife and I are grandparents. We had our adult children and three grandchildren with us for Christmas week on the Big Island. We've stayed in Puako two other times, but this time was the best, because this house was so great. The owners Marie and Dom are great people who made us feel at home in their beautiful home and were always available to answer questions within a few moments of a text of email. So many things make this place special: The location on the beach with a comfortable sandy beach about 100 yards walk through a hedge, even though most of the shore at Puako is rocky. The beautiful art work a woodwork throughout the house. The luxurious and plentiful towels. The huge lanai where we spent most of our time and had our meals. We are a family of 9 and the place was so spacious, everyone could have their sense of privacy while still being with the family for the holiday week. There were many games for the kids to play. There was snorkeling equipment and boogie boards. An excellent grill. Huge windows everywhere so that one could see the ocean and the front gate from almost everywhere. The internet was high speed. The cable TV had all the premium channels, plus netflix and prime. We had great dinners delivered by a local chef so none of us had to be cooks during a vacation and it was so easy in the superbly equipped kitchen. We had a four year old who we could let play in the front and the backyard. grass There were many exotic birds visiting the back yard. So many things make this a perfect place for a family vacation, but the best was the beauty. Thank you so much to Marie and Dom for making their home available.

Our family of 9 stayed at the Puako house. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and to make meals together. The lanai was the primary living space for us. Beautiful views. Easy access to get in the water just to the right side of the beach. Peaceful neighborhood. Beautiful property inside and out. Very clean. Marie- the owner, was great with communication, availability and offering suggestions.
We had an issue with our rental just before we had to leave and the local agent was also extremely accommodating and helpful- she went above and beyond. We highly recommend this home and hope to have the opportunity to return.

Wonderful home and location
I would highly recommend this home and location. Our extended family loved sitting on the lanai and enjoying the ocean and sunsets. It’s a super short walk to the swimming beach where we swam, snorkeled and rented paddle boards. The house is big, comfortable and beautiful. It was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking and grilling. We have two young kids and it was great for them with the hammock outside, lawn area and a box of toys and some games inside. It’s a quiet and peaceful area. We would stay here again!

Fantastic location and beautiful house
Our family of 10 stayed over the holidays and could not have imagined a more perfect spot to spend time together with the indoor/outdoor living accommodations overlooking the ocean. There is no need to go anywhere else given the incredible snorkeling and sandy beach steps from the back door, but it is conveniently situated between the two best resorts on the island.

Beautiful view out the sliding glass doors to wake up to every morning. Great space for just the two of us. Kitchen has the basics for your meals at home. Minimal steps away from the shoreline/beach. Easy communication.

Extraordinary property in the perfect Big Island location
Access to the best of the Big Island whether it be beaches, snorkeling, golf or sightseeing. The home and garage apartment are perfect for a family vacation. Perfect open layout in the living/dining and kitchen areas..The exterior and interior were immaculately maintained. Access to the Puako Bay beach was perfect. Quiet neighborhood with a country store 100 yards away. Restaurants choices could not be better. Everything from high end resort restaurants to charming spots in Hawi, our favorite, and Waimea. Cyclists -- the Kona Ironman bike route is one mile from the house and provides extra wide shoulders and well maintained road surface to say nothing of stunning scenery.

The perfect property for entertaining
This property is in the perfect location and built for entertainment. We had 3 generations of family with us and everyone loved it. It's located in an area close enough to anything you would want to see or do but with infinitely more privacy then anything found in Kona. It is fenced off from the road so we didn't have to worry about our young children running into the street. We saw whales off the back porch almost every day with beautiful backdrops. The property manager met us late in the evening due to an unexpected flight delay without any issue and made the walk through seamless. If you are on the fence between this and anywhere else I hope this review is the deciding factor as this property has it all!

Little beach and tidal pool were delightful
Aloha Sands was a terrific setting for our family to spend relaxing time together. The ocean views were beautiful and having the beach so close was such a treat! The owners were quick to help with any issues and definitely don’t miss the roadside donut truck at the end of the street 🍩!!

The marvelous base for a vacation in paradise
This is the place to stay when visiting the Kohala coast! The house and guest room are both elegant and comfortable. The views are better than the pictures show. Having the water just a few steps from the back door was great. Puako is a great place to use as a base for Big Island adventures.
Owner Marie and manager Catherine were very helpful.

Relaxing, beautiful, just perfect
This house is even more beautiful in person than in the photos! Our two families were very comfortable and happy here there. The owners and their staff were attentive and helped swiftly with any minor inconveniences. There's a lot of activity in the water - and yes, we did see turtles - one swam right up to me! Bonus: Amazing views from the lanai of the fireworks at the resort across the bay.

Location says it all!
The house is as described. We particularly liked the open floor plan layout with all bedrooms having privacy off the living space. There were 11 of us and whether you were in the kitchen, dining area, tv area or sitting area you were always a part of the group and able to enjoy and participate in conversation. The house is located in close proximity to Hapuna Beach, resorts (for us that meant good restaurants), and easy access to all our activities. The beach and lagoons at the house are wonderful. Our 4 tween/teen grandkids lived in the water and tide pools.

Amazing Aloha Sands
Aloha Sands is a spacious Hawaiian style home, handsomely decorated with almost every amenity one could possibly need. The master bath is incredibly huge as well as functional and attractive. The kitchen is delightful and nicely stocked with staples (a surprise...prior rental properties have a required a trip to the grocery even for S&P). The lanai is spacious and there are water views from practically every room. The grandchildren loved staying in the adjacent guest house where they could even fix themselves cereal and milk (stored in the fridge of the mini kitchen...delightful for a bit of extra shuteye for the rest of us!). There is a lovely little beach a very short walk from the house besides the direct water access from the house. Just a wonderful stay and delightful owner.

A Wonderful Home Away from Home
We invited our adult children to join us for a Hawaiian holiday, and the house was so perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, and the spacious kitchen allowed us to enjoy our meals together. Cooking was so easy as the kitchen was very well equipped. We often just sat out on the gorgeous deck watching the ocean, and hearing the many birds singing. We loved seeing the cardinal, and the red crested cardinals on the lawn each day. The snorkelling was awesome (many tang, moray eel, trigger fish, and a sea turtle), and the little ones loved finding the sea urchins in the tide pools. It was a fantastic place to get rejuvenated, and for the three little cousins to bond. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

nice home near the water
Beautiful house in a great location. Located on what passes for a beach on the Big Island, but don't expect Hapuna quality. Lot's of turtles though and you can sit and whale watch. If you are looking for a base from which to explore the island, this is great and away from the crowds

Another awesome week in paradise
My wife and I enjoyed another awesome week in paradise (Aloha Sands) The grounds, accomodations, owners and staff are simply the best. Over the last eight years we have stayed up and down the Kohala coast from small private homes to Hapuna Beach Prince and there is no better place to stay than Aloha Sands. The little bay (50 yards away) is excellent for kayaking, turtle watchers, swimming and just relaxing on the beautiful uncrowded beach.The owners and staff are as attentive as any 5 star hotel, we could not have enjoyed our stay more!

Hawaiian Paradise Found
The four of us enjoyed our third annual stay at Aloha Sands, in our opinion it is the most beautiful and comfortable home in all of Puako and perhaps the whole Island. It offers a beautiful and relaxing space that is impeccably furnished and well-appointed for the whole family. The location is absolutely amazing! The home is right on a fine white sand beach and one of the best tidepools on the Kona-Kohala Coast. The home has a 180 degree view of the water and the Kohala coast and Puako is convenient to everything: shopping, restaurants, golf, hiking, diving, surfing and especially the magical beaches and tide pools teaming with tropical fish. It is less than a 1 minute walk to the beach for snorkel, wading, diving or a sunset drink. The beach and tide pools right out the back door are a perfect place to sit and contemplate life and there is no diving necessary to enjoy the beautiful underwater wildlife including many species of tropical fish and sea turtles. The owners Dom and Marie are wonderful and provide everything you need to have a spectacular vacation. We hope to return many times to enjoy this wonderful house and the surrounding areas. It is truly a Hawaiian paradise.

Unequivocal Endorsement
Our family of 10 spent the week of 2/9-16 at Aloha Sands. It was a phenomenal vacation for us all. The pictures do not do justice to the home or the surroundings. What was highly impressive is how well provisioned the home was when we arrived. We were constantly and pleasantly surprised by the presence of items, whether for kitchen, bathroom, lanai or beach, that we thought we would have to purchase on arrival. On top of all that Marie, the owner, along every step of the way, did everything she could to create a great experience for us. She was highly responsive and gave us the benefit of the doubt on any issue that arose. We could not have asked for a more friendly and understanding owner to work with. Bottom line, this trip created wonderful memories for our family that will never be forgotten. There is no higher endorsement than that.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Setting, Great Memories
Our family and friends (group of 12) from South Dakota spent a wonderful 10 days at this lovely home on the beach in Puako in Feb 2016. The house and loft apartment combined had plenty of room for us all to be together and also to have private space when desired. The lanai
is very large and comfortable and the beach and ocean views are spectacular. We watched the whales, the waves and the stars from the lanai. The nearby beach is sandy and the slope is gradual and thus is very family friendly. Our snorkelers, paddle boarders and kayakers were constantly entertained. Every evening we made the short trek to the beach to watch the magnificent sunsets.
The views from inside the house are also lovely, especially from the kitchen, dining, living and master bedroom areas. The kitchen is panoramic and very well equipped with plenty of room for multiple cooks and guests around the island. The large dining room table and the lanai table combined provide plenty of dining seating for a big group.
The owner is very hands on in a good way and the local crew was very welcoming and great at follow-through with anything we asked about. The owner really is only a phone call or email away and responds very quickly and thoroughly (we only had a couple minor needs but they were dealt with immediatlely). Thank you Marie.
We had a wonderful time in this lovely setting and will definitely be back again.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in the Studio for our annual trek to the Big Isle and we were treated to a wonderful experience. The studio is perfect for a couple and very well appointed. The view from the lanai of the bay is outstanding. The owner is VERY attentive and responds quickly (thanks Marie). We kayaked every morning and saw at least 30 turtles during our week and a baby manta! Aloha Living Services delivered a kayak and beach cruisers (thanks Kevin) the latter used to cruise PB drive and get acquainted with the neighbors! A fabulous week at an awesome location!
