ALOHA SANDS BEACH FRONT VILLA + APARTMENT 10% Discount Thanksgiving Special.

5 STAR REVIEWS! STUNNING VILLA! TASTE OF OLD HAWAII ON THE BEST BEACH IN PUAKO!

This lofty and spacious Hawaiian villa lies on the Gold Coast of Hawaii, the sunniest spot in the state. Aloha Sands is also on the best sandy beach in Puako between the Mauna Kea and Mauni Lani Resorts. Most of Puako has no sandy beach and access to the water is over lava rocks. Because of this natural beach, and sandy bottom swimming lagoon, it is considered the best of the best of Puako by local realtors and rental agents. With 180-degree views of the ocean, bay, the island of Maui plus the Mauna Kea Volcano, this exclusive property has it all.

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. One ADDITIONAL PERSON is welcome with 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 side gardens lead from the garden gates to the sandy beach. Your warm lagoons, only steps away with sandy bottoms ate perfect for swimming and snorkeling and are home to green sea turtles and colorful juvenile fish. The ancient Hawaiians taught their children how to swim, and cast fishing nets 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.
For bird-lovers see the dramatically plumed Artic Golden Plover, the Red-Crested Cardinal, herons, doves, albatross, egrets, francolins, sandpipers, as well as local turkeys, owls and more.

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.

This home embodies the spirit of aloha.

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.

Perfect week

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.

Lovely home, location and host

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.

Grandma’s 80th birthday trip

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

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.

Fantastic Trip to Big Island, Hawaii

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.

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!

Big Island Beauty, Play, Comfort and Ohana!

Aloha Sands was very welcoming and every bit as beautiful as described. Our family of ten, ranging in ages from 2 to 72, completely enjoyed all of our 11 days there, as we divided our time between exploring the Big Island and lounging on the lanai as we took in the sumptuous views. The house is very accommodating, beautifully decorated and comfortable, with the kitchen and main room (and the lanai) being both spacious and well-equipped for meal preparation, dining, and family time. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and private. Excellent windows and a/c units allow for choices between ocean breezes (and sounds!) or air conditioning. The beach, with its tidal pools, was great fun to explore as we came across quite a few turtles, octopuses, and cowries, among other things. Our line of communication with the owner was appreciated, though we experienced no difficulties whatsoever. Aloha Sands has taken a place in our family memories. for sure!

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.

Peaceful Puako Luxury Retreat

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.

You did very well in choosing this place!

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!”

Lovely House in Great Location

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).

Perfect Hawaiian Location

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!

Comfortable and peaceful.

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.

Worth every penny

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.

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!

Why they chose this property

Puako is a very special place on the Gold Coast of Hawaii between The Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani Resorts with many ammenties and choices for a fun-filled relaxing vacation.

What makes this property unique

We are one of a very few properties on the only stretch of sandy beach in residential Puako. The beach is natural and rustic with a tidal-protected lagoon steps from our lanais with access to one of the best snorkeling and scuba diving on the island. Humback whales cruise our reef in front of our villa from January to April, and green sea turtles are common visitors to our lagoon. Our home is beautifully appointed with imported furniture and art. Our views from every room delight the senses all times of the day and all seasons of the year.
