We have a two story residential home, located across the street from the turquoise clear waters of the Pacific ocean.
Our guest apartment is on the ground floor with its own private entrance through a garden atmosphere into a large screened in porch with plants, table and couch. The apartment is 1000sf with a King size bed with soft bamboo sheets and air-conditioning in the bedroom with additional cooling fans throughout. The apartment is ideal for three adults or two adults andtwo kids, max. Four adults is not recommended as the pullout couch bed in the living room is not really designed for two adults, in my humble opinion.
The back door leads to a bucolic outdoor porch setting with a breakfast table, birds galore, a barbecue and a small fenced in yard with beautiful views of adjacent wild State land and magnificent Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and the Kohala Mountains beyond.
No fire engines, no police car sirens, nothing but a peaceful atmosphere.
We provide our guests with snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrella and a wonderful breakfast spread (heavy on fresh fruit). With advance notice, we are happy to arrange rentals for any water equipment that we don't have, including kayaks, paddle boards, surf boards, and scuba gear. Bicycles are also available for rentals.
The large living/dining area includes a small kitchen island and has been remodeled with new wood flooring, paint and carpets. It is quite lovely, comfortable and inviting; a very homey, cool and spacious environment with soft paint colors. Some say its more spacious than the pictures show. The air-conditioning in the bedroom and fans in the other rooms take care of any heat issues.

Thank you.

    Wonderful stay! Anything I asked for was responded to timely. The yard was beautiful. The appliances were very nice with fancy coffee pot, hot water pot, and toaster being very nice. Shower was nice and roomy. Shampoo and soaps provided. Nice food stocked both in fridge and pantry.

    We stayed at Bailey's for just over a week and cannot say enough about the many wonderful things at this home.* This is the lower level of a home, and is large and spacious with two porches, one screened and one with a swing and BBQ that looks over a peaceful green space of birds and wildlife. The kitchen was stocked better than any rental I have had on VRBO or it's main competitor that starts with A, and was delightful.* There are boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, cooler and snorkel gear available which made it very easy and relaxing. * We walked to prime diving/snorkeling areas in minutes along with sunsets. The road is quiet and I was able to peacefully run on it daily. * Hapuna Beach is less than 15 minutes drive away with a great place to swim and boogie board/surf. If you like resorts, there is a lovely walk to the Fairmont where you can eat/drink outside. * The petroglyphs are about 1/2 mile walk away. * Bailey was a thoughtful and gracious host and we loved his sweet dog Mimi. All the other reviews about the fruit bowl were 100% correct, it (and the breakfast) were amazing.Thank you!

    The host, Bailey, was friendly and helpful. House was very comfortable, even the pull out sofa was comfortable sleeping for our teen. Loved spending mornings on the back deck, watching all the birds! Beach accesses only a few minutes walk away, saw whales, turtles, outer tidepools have lots of fish, beautiful sunsets. On arrival late in the evening, Bailey and Baki had stocked the fridge with breakfast (bacon, eggs, english muffins, an amazing, delicious fruit platter). Malhalo!!! We had a great stay and hope to be back.Christine, Alex, Maddy. Southern Alberta, Canada.

    We had a wonderful week staying at Bailey's house in Puako. Puako itself is a quiet, sedate neighborhood--perfect for quiet mornings and afternoons. Proximity to the beach is stellar, whether you use the Puako beach access points or take a short drive to Beach 69 or Hapuna. The house itself was perfect for us (a family of four, with two young children): we loved sitting on the back porch watching the myriad birds at the feeders and the wild pigs in the back fields. The kitchen is well-stocked--better equipped with staples and pots and pans than many places we have stayed. Wonderful place, highly recommended!

    The apartment is spacious, comfortable and homey. This is not a high end modern experience, but a cozy and relaxed retreat. The bed is very comfy, bathroom shower newish, and the apartment is very clean. The proprietor, Bailey, is gracious and kind. We felt more like his personal guest than a renter. A lovely experience.
