About this property

Ocean Front Home with a Sandy Beach

Enjoy sunsets from the privacy of the large covered lanai, a sandy beach right out front, enticing tidepools, and the serenity of the perpetual song of ocean breezes in the trees at this lovely oceanfront setting.

This versatile beachfront home can serve as the perfect romantic getaway for a couple, or comfortably accommodate a family or group of friends. The spacious, nicely manicured lawn and easily accessed beach invite both the playful frolic of children and relaxed lounging of adults. Sharing the beach with resident sea turtles is a daily highlight, and during winter months savor the opportunity to view and listen to the grandeur of the visiting humpback whales from the living room, lanai and backyard.

Choose your dining experience, from the beautiful teak indoor dining table to the comfortable and roomy environs of the ocean side lanai, which extends the length of the main house. Here you will find a beautiful outdoor dining table, cozy lounge chairs, and the punee, a large built-in lounging area which can be used for outdoor sleeping for those more adventurous souls.

Each bedroom has its own outside entrance complete with full bathroom. The large master bedroom, with king bed, opens out to the ocean through a sliding glass door and onto its own lanai. One of the other three bedrooms opens out to the ocean and onto its own lanai as well.

First class snorkeling, scuba diving and surfing is available within a short walking distance at Paniau, a gorgeous little bay at the end of Puako.

Can't beat the setup and view!

Truly amazing property! We were a little on the fence with how the setup would work out (bedrooms disconnected from the main living area), but this ended up being awesome. We had a group of six and everyone could spread out, yet all be together. View was incredible as well. Five stars all the way around!

We had an incredible stay at this beachside property! The location couldn't be better—right on the beach with huge waves perfect for surfing and swimming. The nearby food trucks offer a fantastic variety of delicious options, making dining easy and enjoyable. The property itself is well-maintained and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We can't wait to come back!

Disappointed

Dirty, roaches, ants on the kitchen counter, ant traps behind art on the counter, geckos everywhere along with their droppings, no air conditioning, smelled liked urine, only one towel per person, it was like camping not all what was expected ~ over priced. Stay at a resort to enjoy the Hawaii experience!!

Amazing property and a wonderful host and check-in experience.

This house was even better than we expected. It served all of our needs as a family traveling together. Gregg, our property manager, was wonderful. He showed up with his wife to check us in, and he also checked in on us during the week to make sure that everything was going well. We could not be happier with this property or the property management experience. As managers ourselves of a vacation home rental property, we know when we see a good host. Gregg is that person and did a wonderful job. We’d come back again and again to this amazing property.

Great rental for the right group

Gregg could not have been nicer or more accommodating to us. The main house has a great patio with a large lounge area that we enjoying sitting at, looking for whales and turtles. The beach in front was great for the kids, too. Unfortunately, the house set up did not work for our family. None of the bedrooms are connected to the main house, so we each had to sleep with a kid (2 and 4) in our room - not ideal on vacation. I didn’t pick this detail up when booking, so it was only when Gregg pointed it out that we were able to troubleshoot by putting twin beds in two rooms for the kids to sleep on. It’s a great rental, and we would consider staying again once our kids are older and we are comfortable with them in a detached bedroom.

Sea Turtles!

There are few things better than watching a sunset on a private-feeling beach, unless of course you add a plethora of green sea turtles swimming around and sunning themselves right nearby. A magical home with a spectacular view and snorkeling right outside!

Wonderful stay in beautiful Puako!

We enjoyed an amazing week in Puako at this lovely home. The layout was great- lots of privacy for our three teens, but a beautiful main gathering space for us to enjoy dinners, movies, and games (and lots of beautiful sunsets!) Watching the waves every morning and night was so relaxing and blissful. We have fallen in love with the Big Island and can't wait to be back!
