Throw a pebble into the Pacific Ocean from your lanai.
Hale Aloha is an oceanfront private retreat located in the magical neighborhood of Puako, next to Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. Puako is one of the sunniest destinations in Hawaii with a unique blend of old Hawaii charm and pristine coastline. Each day is filled with the sound of the sea, coconut trees swaying in the tropical breeze and the beauty of Hawaii. You share the ocean with sea turtles, humpback whales, andplay on an oceanfront rich with sea life. Your day ends with one of the most stunning sunsets in the world!

Typical of the beachfront homes that have made Puako so beloved, Hale Aloha is ideal for one or two couples or a family who appreciates a sense of place in a perfectly maintained Hawaiian-style beach house. With 120 feet of ocean frontage, this property is perfect for lounging and enjoying the sunshine and ocean air. Ocean access is adjacent to Hale Aloha and offers an ideal location to go fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddling.

Hale Aloha was built in the 1950's, and was completely renovated in 2014 without losing its Old Hawaiian charm. The fun and playful decor with plantation doors, wood louver windows, and hardwood laminate floors is a tropical retreat!
There is a private guest cottage on the property which is rented separately -
VRBO684722

The living room is completely open to the tropical breezes with large pocket sliding doors and screens leading to a large lanai with outdoor dining and BBQ.
Each bedroom features California King Tempur-Pedic beds with high quality bedding. Living room sofa opens to queen bed. A laundry room with full size stacking Kenmore Elite washer and dryer is included.

The warm ocean is your swimming pool. Protected and only 2-5 feet deep with a mostly sandy bottom, it is home to green sea turtles and colorful fish. Just beyond the reef-protected lagoon is the best snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking in Hawaii. In low tide, the tidal pools will inspire, in January through May, you can watch the humpback whales play and breach.
Morning walks along the two-lane Puako Beach Drive will find you at Puako's famous ancient Hawaiian rock carvings, the largest example of Petroglyphs in the world. There is also a grocery store in walking distance.

    This was our third visit at this home and it was just as amazing as the first two. You cannot beat this location! You can do a very nice 6 mile walk along the ocean right from your front door. It is a safe, quiet neighborhood, except when the tsunami siren goes off. The warning siren goes off the first business day of the month. The house is nicely appointed. It has most everything you need to cook at home. It also has a nice variety of beach gear for your use. We look forward to our next stay.

    Would highly recommend this property. The oceanfront access directly in front of the house provided wonderful opportunities for snorkeling in the tidal pools. The home itself was immaculately clean. It offered all the amenities you would need for cooking, including thoughtful additions of Ziploc bags, and food storage containers, as well as spices. The washer and dryer were a bonus, which made our two weeks all the more pleasant.The property manager, Jay was just great. He was very attentive and a real treat to visit with.Having lived there for many years, he had great stories and lots of helpful information to share about making our stay pleasant.

    Yes. Had a great time talking stories with Jay. Moon sets. Best snorkeling just in front of home. The surrounding environment is #1 for us. The HaleAloha has a cozy feel. I never felt anxious to leave and explore felt at home. The home has everything you need.

    We absolutely love it here! It is such a peaceful place. Wake up to the sounds of the ocean and the birds chirping. Beautiful, scenic walks right from your front door. Snorkeling just a short walk down the beach. The house has everything you could need. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, a new bbq and beach accessories. Jay was extremely responsive when we had an issue with the television. And when our flight got canceled they were very gracious. This was our second stay here and we will be back this winter.

    Beautiful sunsets, big sky stars and just a nice place to chill with family.Short drive to many very nice beaches. Good snorkeling just 100 yards to North that others drive to scuba so they can dive it from the public access. Just swim out to the white buoy and be in 30’ of water beyond the breakers. You’ll probably see manta rays.

    We had a wonderful two week stay in this home/cottage on the ocean. This is an older home but well kept in a stunning direct oceanfront setting. You can walk the beach and the protected tide pools offer great snorkeling. We enjoyed the abundance of wildlife including countless turtles resting and snorkeling with them was something we will always remeber. The whale watching from this home is incredible. The last night we were there we witnessed a mother whale and her baby both breaching just on the other side of the reef directly in front of us. There was plenty of beach gear for the five of us. We have stayed in over a dozen different locations on the Big Island and this setting cannot be beat. We already have reservations for next year here.

    I 've been to Puako half a dozen times and love it. This is the first time I found a place on the ocean side of the road, and it's a beautiful location. Wonderful views and sunsets! The home was clean and well appointed, and has been updated since it was build in 1957, but it's not quite as wonderful as the pictures suggest.

    What a cute old Hawaiian beach house, it fit our needs wonderfully. The hide a bed isn’t super comfortable, we put the kids on it. They were also paving on front of the house 4 out of the 5 days we were there but we understand that is not something that the owners have any control over. We loved this beach house and would definitely return, maybe with 4 people instead of 5. The bikes were an added bonus to ride up and down Puako beach rd

    We checked in for my birthday and what a place!! Clean, spacious, great views, neighborhood, yard. It was amazing that the second day there, Jay showed up with a newly fixed lounge chair and took another one to be redone, before it even had broken!! Great communication with caretaker. Sorry we were only booked for 5 days! We will definitely be back. Thank you, Jay, for your attention.

    We’ve stayed in various homes in Puako for 23 years. This home/cottage is by far the best of them all. This was our second vacation at this great, clean comfortable home. The view is amazing! Jay was most helpful with plumbing problems being worked on while we were there. Looking forward to next year!
