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.

Great stay! House was beautiful. Perfect set up with privacy for all. The views are AMAZING! Great little neighborhood with wonderful and kind locals! It does get hot at night with no air conditioning. Good for some not so great for a perimenopausal woman with night sweats!! So we did sleep on the porch a few nights. Also, be aware of Iron Man competitions going on during your stay we did have a bit of a problem with road closures trying to get to the airport so make sure you ask before you book in October. It did make for a rough trip home. Other than that, it was a wonderful trip.

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!

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!

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!

We Loved This House! We are three older couples who stayed at this house in January. It is in a quiet residential area which is very peaceful but not far from restaurants and shopping. We arrived at night to find the house lit up, welcoming, and immaculately cleaned. Our host, Gregg, could not have been more responsive, helpful or engaging! The house has very comfortable and expansive common areas, with indoor sitting and dining areas, as well as outdoor sitting and dining areas on the lanai. The kitchen is large and equipped with every appliance and utensil one could need. It is perfect for an extended family or group of friends. From the lanai we could see whales breaching at a distance, and from the beach we could see turtles sunning on the rocks or warming in tide pools. Swimming in front of the house was not an inviting prospect. Too much lava rock and too shallow. But a short walk or drive down the road there were snorkeling spots among the lava rocks, a path along the beach, and a sandy beach. When we could tear ourselves away from the peaceful lanai we walked a short ways to see petroglyphs, and a lovely swimming beach was a 5-minute drive away.  The rooms were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Be aware that the rooms are not equal: there is one large ocean-front room, a second much smaller ocean-front room, a small room not on the ocean (but with a fun outdoor shower), and a large room separate from the main house toward the road.
