OCEANFRONT! Cottage is located on a beautiful sandy beach!

Wonderful vacation! Amazing spot with everything we needed. The view was wonderful and so relaxing. Would love to visit again!!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, house was super well equipped. We never go out for dinner when we are in Hawaii so a well set up kitchen and grill are very important for us. Breakfast every morning with the sound of the surf as the sun rose over Mauna Kea and Maui emerged from the mist, and dinner outside every night as the last glow disappeared. We've been renting oceanfront houses in Puako since 2012 and this is one of the best.

Wonderful oceanfront property in the Puako area! We really loved staying in this area. It felt very isolated but in reality sites and amenities were super close by. The General Store down the street was awesome for treats and necessities, and a Foodland was just a 10-15 minutes drive away. The sunsets were spectacular, and as a bonus, we had honu (green sea turtles) come to visit us every night. Great spot for chilling out, snorkeling, walking/running. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed - from cooking supplies to beach gear. Both the owner and property manager were very helpful and communicative. We would stay again for sure!

A stay on Puako Beach Road on the Big Island of Hawaii is truly magical

We had a wonderful relaxing time at this property! The home was clean, comfortable and quiet. The sunsets were amazing as was the yard and rather private beach area.The little market (Puako Store) was handy and helpful with whale watching and snorkeling tours.The only thing I would recommend is a better AC system—the remote didn’t work on the unit and you can only have AC in one bedroom.

Great turtle viewing and easy chill location

Older cottage right on the tide pools. Excellent snorkeling at the access 2 houses south. House has louvers on all sides to capture the tradewinds, outdoor shower, many birds. Amazing sunsets

This was the most wonderful, peaceful, relaxing vacation ever! The home was clean, very nicely decorated and no need to really drive anywhere. Beach outside the gate with snorkeling, turtles and no crowds…actually no people at all?. Sunsets were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this home!

Gorgeous location. Quiet. Private. Directly on the water. Visited every evening by three sea turtles a few hours before sunset. General Store just down the street with incredible sandwiches for your daily adventures. Only big criticism, claiming AC is stretching the truth. There is a tiny unit in one bedroom. And it can only cool that one bedroom. It was quite hot and humid during our stay and that wasn’t pleasant.

We saw turtles, whales, and plenty of birds from the backyard. The birding book was especially helpful.

Our stay at Puako was one of the most memorable experiences we have had on any of our more than 20 visits to the Hawaiian islands. Wandering the tide pools on the beach in front of the house, snorkeling some of the most special water we have seen right out in front of the place. Watching turtles come out of the water for a little sun. Watching whales and dolphins playing right off the beach. Hearing the whales while snorkeling. Simply relaxing and enjoying the beach was absolutely wonderful. There were occasions during our 9 day stay when the waves were coming in a little too high to allow for a reasonably safe entry, in front of the place, but just down the road a little way, near the Church, was a wonderfully protected place to enter the water. The wifi was sufficient such that I was able to conduct a little business from the lanai. The view from each of the rooms great, the only knock I have was that I had to spend about an hour cleaning the windows to fully take advantage of the great views.

How nice to visit such a relaxed and beautiful spot! It’s a gem that I’m thankful we were able to experience. The house manager was extremely helpful and thoughtful! Thank you!!
