Pua Pono House | Pupukea Acerage, Fruit Trees

This was the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventuring in the North Shore. The property is lush and beautiful and the home has a lot of charm. Several food trucks and beaches are less than a 5 minute drive away. And we ate the best oranges ever, picked right from a tree on the property. We had a wonderful stay, thank you!

We loved this property! The trees and flowers were beautiful and the indoor space was very clean and had just what our family needed to enjoy the north shore for a couple nights. This home is conveniently located near the grocery store, which was nice. There is some road work going on in town, so just need to plan for a few extra minutes to drive toward Hailewa and Waimea Beach until the construction is complete. The construction crew seems very efficient at managing traffic though! We spotted a few cute (tiny) lizards inside the home, but they were harmless and likely hunted for mosquitoes while we slept. We took advantage of those photo opportunities since we don't have lizards in Wyoming! I highly recommend this property to anyone considering staying here.

My wife and I ( in our 50s ) loved this place. We come to stay on the northshore to get away from the hustle bustle. This place was exactly that, country. The host and her family we extremely nice and they really made us feel at home. The property is very peaceful and we truly felt as if we were locals. They even have a super loving yellow lab that befriended me. If I could have one thing to add to make it absolutely perfect, it would be for to have air conditioning. I’m like a bear and need it really cold to sleep. To be honest though, this place is at a higher elevation and it never got too hot. All in all, we highly recommend this beautiful home if you like the Hawaiian country Northshore and peace and quiet. We will definitely be back!

Phenomenal location- 5 minutes from the best beaches in the world! Beautiful property. Kind hosts.

Our hosts were super welcoming. The property is beautiful. We had everything we needed at the house to enjoy all the beaches and what the North Shore has to offer. Would definitely stay there again! Thank you!!

The host was so friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect, close to the beaches but private.

We had an incredible stay! The hosts are so nice and took so good care of us! Everything was very clean and so beautifully decorated. We also loved the garden, the beautiful huge trees and the fruits we could pick from them. We had huge and absolutely delicious avocados! We love to stay there soon again!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this simple but comfortable house. The hosts were great and the location is tremendous. We will definitely try to come back.

What a neat little property! Easy access to the north shore including sharks cove for great snorkeling (5 minutes away) and the famous banzai pipeline. The rental is behind the owners permanent residence, so the owners are onsite and are super friendly and helpful when you have questions. We are dog lovers so was fantastic that there is a super friendly dog on the property that routinely came to visit when we were on the property. There’s also a friendly chicken that belongs to the property and would routinely swing by the rental to say hello lol. And there are plentiful fruit trees on the property that the owners allow you to pick from to consume. The oranges are delicious and we routinely used an avocado on our sandwiches for our packed lunches. Overall great place in a great spot away from the hustle of Honolulu and Waikiki!

Great little cottage. Very freindly host! Enjoyed a fresh orange from the garden! I recommend you stay! Minutes from Sunset Beach views, local grocery store and coffee shop!

We had a wonderful stay! The beds were very comfortable, and the property was beautiful—just a short drive to the store and nearby beaches. It was the perfect space for our family of three, and we’d highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

We loved the little house. Very private and secure. We never even locked the door. It’s felt like we lived there. We would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The location is a great home base and so close to many beautiful beaches. The location is quiet and private. We found the host to be warm, welcoming and quick to respond to our inquiries.

Great stay! Wonderful location. The home had everything we needed except a place to hang our towels and swimsuits after a day at the beach. We would stay here again. The owners are so nice! Loved waking up to the birds and amazing fruit trees on the property.

Comfortable beds and the house came with everything needed. Great location. I will definitely be booking again in the future.

Gorgeous property in the North Shore. Loved waking up to the sounds of all the birds. Kids loved looking for geckos and swinging in the tree swing. If you're looking for a quiet, remote place on the island, this is a good fit.

Fantastic central location, verdant greenery everywhere, kind host- I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I almost don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep this gem hidden for myself! Amazing, lush property with fruit trees and the biggest mango tree I’ve seen in my life! The home is so beautifully and comfortably decorated. Beautiful flowers and live plants filled the vases throughout the home. Super clean. A welcome instruction packet was there for us, along with chocolates! The packet included nearby great restaurants and a long list of beaches and fun things to do. The bed was very comfortable (we only stayed in the very back bedroom). Snorkel gear and beach towels were provided, along with laundry detergent to wash your clothes in the back. No A/C but it was not needed, even though we are from the cold and rainy PNW! Lots of fans available and sleeping was very comfortable with the windows open. I think the most important thing is that we felt incredibly safe. We met the local caretaker and she was like an instant close friend. So happy we found this spot. Cannot wait to come back and visit.

We loved this quiet little spot! Property manager very helpful. She even let us pick fruit from her trees. Five min drive from Shark’s Cove. No AC but fans kept it comfortable. Quality mattresses. Even had beach chairs & snorkel gear for our use. Would recommend & would live to stay here again.

The only thing we wish we had done was stay longer. This location was amazing and we really enjoyed the property. The hosts were wonderful as well! Would love to go back.

We had an wonderful stay. Beautiful, comfortable house. Very clean. Easy to get to the beaches. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for a week (parents toddler) and loved absolutely everything about it. The host family is lovely (perfect balance of being super helpful and friendly while still giving guests ample privacy), the property is beautiful, and the suite is private, extremely clean, and well appointed. Simply could not ask for anything more and we look forward to coming back next year.

My teens and I loved this home. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. The home had everything we needed. The location was central. We would stay here again.

Righteous place and hosts! Beautiful Island style stay, away from the main road yet close to everywhere. Great tips, suggestions and directions from our hosts who are so full of Aloha. A really comfy guest house, fully equipped and very secure. So much better than the pricey resort up the road. We would love to come again!!

Beautiful spot with everything you need for a great stay. We had 5 nights here and really enjoyed staying on the North Shore. This place is a good location to everything out that way. Hosts are amazing, really friendly and very helpful.

Loved picking fresh oranges. Quiet peaceful location. Beautiful property.

My experience with vacation rentals is they appear better on line than they actually are. This one was completely opposite. I was thrilled with the home. Even better than what I expected. THANK YOU!!

Although we only stayed one night, this place was a perfect end to our days in Hawaii. It was calm, beautiful, and the family we met was very kind. Our only complaint is that we didn’t book more days. I would highly recommend this place.

Cozy Apartment and good location to explore the island. Great communication and recommendations. We can definitely recommend it.

My wife, 2 1/2 year old, and myself enjoyed our stay on the north shore. Mara and the family are wonderful hosts. Beautiful property grounds and a nice space. Our son really enjoyed all the grassy areas to run around as well as the bucket of toys they had at the house. The king size bed was comfy and would recommend as an ideal spot on the north shore. I like trail running so it was great being close to the trails above sunset. The proximity of the place is really great for the Northshore, as you are close to so many great things. Highlights for us would be the Dole plantation train ride with our son, Sharks cove, Elephant Thai food truck, 7 brothers burgers, and the beautiful surrounds of the Puo Pono Paradise. Would strongly recommend.

This place was beyond amazing! The location, the house, the fresh fruit eaten right off the trees…I couldn’t emphasize enough how much we loved it! And even when our rental car had some mechanical quirks, they offered assistance right away! Top notch and we would stay there possibly forever!

The host was super helpful and friendly. Her recommendations for restaurants and beaches were priceless, especially for those who have never been to the north shore. Grocery store (with the best poke!) and beaches with great snorkeling are within a very short drive away. Even though there is no air conditioning, the constant breeze kept the place comfortable all day and night.

This place was PERFECT for my husband and I’s honeymoon! Easy to find, lots to do in the near by area, and great place to stay! Loved being able to walk around the property, grab fresh fruits, and lay out on the hammock listening to the birds in the morning!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay here on the North Shore. The house was clean, private, on a beautiful piece of property and minutes away from many of the North Shore’s best destinations. The hosts were friendly, responsive and made our stay exceptionally welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and already can’t wait to return. Thanks for making our family vacation so wonderful.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Once you’re through the gate, you’re in paradise! It was so peaceful and picking fruit from the trees was such a fun bonus.

Reasonably priced, clean and great location. Host was very helpful and friendly. Will stay again and recommend.

Place was very cutesy, very mindful, very demure. Had everything we needed.

Of all the available rental options on the north shore, this turned out to be the best. Located in a really central location that’s not too far from any of the main snorkelling spots or the town of Haleiwa the location is perfect. Staying above the beach in the rainforest was really beautiful, and being able to find and eat fruit right off the ground was a really nice surprise. The hosts were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Next time I’m traveling to the north shore I’ll definitely try to stay here again!

We had very nice stay at this place, very nice garden

Great host and lovely place! Loved being a short ways to the beach and food trucks!

I truly loved staying here with my two young children, 8yrs old and 2yrs old. The open spacious, safe yard with toys and a swing was clutch! Her children are so sweet and friendly my son practically was calling them his cousins. The location is very ideal with the perfect family friendly beach right down the road. Full kitchen was ideal for me to maximize our time and money. Grocery store down the road with a coffee shop. I will absolutely love to come back and stay again. Mahalo! God bless!

We were pleasantly surprised by the home. The surrounding area outside is incredible. Our kids played outside and used the swing often. The beds were comfortable. I was worried about having no a/c, but the fans and breeze kept the house cool. Having Foodland down the street is great. The beaches on the north shore are our favorite! This place was the perfect size for me, my husband, and two kids!
