About this property

PUAKO LUXURY 115ft OCEANFRONT All beds oceanfront w/AC--Watersports Included!

FALL SPECIALS RELEASED--Recently featured on Staycation Hawaii!
Exquisite Oceanfront Luxury Home on Puako Beach Drive Big Island Hawaii. 115 FT Oceanfront views and AC in every bedroom. Watersports Equipment included (see below).

This 4,500 square foot, grand elegant Puako oceanfront home is a rare find for its privacy, luxury and location. This first class estate home, with 115 feet of oceanfront, is unique to the area, since many oceanfront homes on Puako Beach Drive are old classic cottages. The town of Puako on the Kohala Coast is one of the top destinations in Hawaii for a true experience of paradise. Come discover your Aloha.

Tranquility will greet you at the front gate, as you enter a private tropical yard, which is enclosed with a lava rock wall and lush, tropical landscaping. The gardens offer an abundance of Plumeria flowers, red torch ginger blossoms, fruit trees and coconut palms.

Directly in front of the house discover some of the best snorkeling and diving conditions in the world. Sea turtles and tropical fish are a regular sight as you explore the underwater paradise. If you prefer to enjoy the turquoise, crystal clear waters from the surface, this home supplies you with stand up paddle boards and kayaks so you can become one with nature, while the others can watch from the lanai while listening to slack key guitar on the outdoor speakers. A few steps away is Paniau Beach for additional turtle watching, swimming and water sports.

Glorious Oceanfront and Outdoor Living

This prestigious, luxury home is designed to let the ocean environment envelope you while lounging on the enormous lanai. Enjoy the abundant sunshine and tranquil atmosphere of the blue Pacific ocean from the living, dining and kitchen areas as the home’s combined 96-feet of disappearing walls open up to the ocean vistas, gardens, and all lanais. Gaze at the Big Island’s famous volcanic mountaintops to the east and the island of Maui on the horizon.

Next, ease into the blue pacific for fun and total relaxation. Enjoy the sight of Hawaii’s humpback whales or spinner dolphins playing along the Puako coastline, while you bask in the sun and sophisticated luxury. Whale watching in the winter is truly spectacular from this home’s vantage point. You will be mesmerized as they breech over and over again while the mothers teach their calves how to leap and dive. It’s better than a National Geographic documentary!

The large, beautiful lawn surrounds the property to expand the barbecue crowd or provide plenty of room for outdoor games so the kids (or your inner kid) can romp and play. The smooth-stone, outdoor shower awaits your sandy feet after an ocean swim or a long day at the beach. Or allow us to schedule you a massage therapist to visit you at the home for the ultimate experience in seaside relaxation.

You will plan your evenings around the breathtaking views of the year round colorful sunsets and you may even be lucky enough to see the famous "green flash." Capture breathtaking sunset photos every night to remember your time in paradise.

After the sunset, hone your astronomy skills with Mana Kai’s own telescope, as Mother Earth embraces you with star-studded skies and shooting stars all while you listen to the soothing ocean waves lap across the lava.

Luxurious Indoor

The home features a gourmet kitchen for the chefs among you to enjoy the ocean view and sway to Hawaiian island tunes while preparing your meals. It has everything you need to prepare your meals… or just relax while you hire one of our private chefs to impress you with their own local culinary masterpiece. Top of the line appliances and granite counter tops are just the beginning. The kitchen is completely equipped with beautiful dishware and cookware to feed a full house in dining areas indoors or out.

Beautiful island style décor and art adorn the home. Mahogany sliding pocket doors disappear to create the perfect open air venue for entertaining and enjoying the home’s close integration with the land and sea. Other features include vaulted ceilings with uplit soffits, a museum-quality, world class shell collection, travertine floors and so much more. The house was designed by a leading Hawaiian architect to channel the flow of the trade winds. Although air conditioning will keep you comfortable in the bedrooms in the evenings should the trade winds stop blowing, on all but the hottest days each year the ocean breezes and ceiling fans provide the perfect temperature to enjoy this tropical paradise and still allow the sound of the waves to lure you to sleep.

All bedrooms feature stunning ocean views and flat screen tvs. The two master suites upstairs offer superior privacy on opposite ends of the house and feature private lanai balconies and gorgeous en-suite bathrooms. The two downstairs connected rooms (private door) share a spacious bath and each room leads directly to the large downstairs lanai.

In the evening, you may want to unwind in the media room with a book or enjoy the 55-inch flat screen television with premium cable, movie channels and surround sound.

Should you need to reach the outside world, the home is equipped with a high-speed, wireless internet connection. A private office upstairs supplies two separate desks and a laser printer if you must bring your work with you—and a Punee convertible into a queen bed for additional sleeping flexibility with your party.

Nearby Resort Access—Beaches, Golf and More

Consistently rated as one of the best beaches in the world by magazines including Conde Nast and Travel + Leisure, Hapuna Beach's 200 feet of white sand is a premiere destination on the Island of Hawaii. Long, wide, and phenomenally sandy, it has everything one dreams of in a classic Hawaiian beach—abundant sun, surf, crystal clear water, shade, a food shack with famous Hawaiian shaved ice and well-maintained facilities. Best of all, Hapuna Beach is less than 10 minutes from Mana Kai, so grab the beach gear, Boogie Boards, and surfboard and head over at a moment’s notice.

Other popular nearby activities include world class golf at the championship courses on the Kohala Coast resort properties a mere 15 minutes away. The incomparable Mauna Kea Golf Course offers golfers the perfect challenge to match their level of play. Mauna Kea’s sister course, the Hapuna Golf Course, designed by Arnold Palmer, is ranked as one of the most environmentally sensitive courses in America. Just a few miles south are the unforgettable Mauna Lani Resort's two championship golf courses designed by Francis H. I'I Brown.

Our 2-story, 4,500 square-foot villa with an additional 1,800 feet of lanais features 3 bedrooms (one is a two room connected suite--see pictures) and 3.5 baths and an outdoor shower, plus an office with a pull-out queen for more flexible sleeping arrangements, especially for the younger members of a larger party. The home is comfortable for multiple families, several couples or a multi-generational vacation.

Aloha-
We fell in love with Puako after vacationing here for 12 years with our 3 boys while they were growing up. Mana Kai is our dream retirement home and we are thrilled to be able to share the experience with others. Mana Kai was not on the vacation rental circuit until our purchase and we have outfitted it with everything we wanted when we used to rent properties along the road, full gourmet kitchen, watersports equipment, luxury linens, bluetooth audio system, etc. This is our only vacation rental and we take pride in our attention to detail to make our home your dream vacation spot. We are happy to share our favorite spots, activities, and restaurants with you. The house is jointly managed by us and our house managers who are fantastic and live in Puako. We can't wait to share our aloha with you!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Right on the water with easy kayak, paddlebaord, surf and scuba diving access. We are avid scuba divers/snokelers and the reefs directly in front of the house are part of a marine reserve and Hawaii's best! Mana Kai is also perfectly situated on the Kohala Coast in-between the Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani resorts. So nightlife and restaurants for those not wanting to cook are only minutes away. Nov-March is prime humpback whale time and you can relax on the lanai while watching the mothers teach their new babies how to breach. We also love being directly on the water with every bedroom waterfront where the waves lull you to sleep.

What makes this property unique

* Direct ocean access/views
* Front row whale watching from the lanais and bedrooms November-March
* Breathtaking ocean views from all bedrooms, great room and kitchen.
* Private enclosed professionally landscaped yard
* A/C in every bedroom for nights with no wind (Most houses in Puako were built without AC (including ours)). However, we installed AC in the bedrooms in 2019 because over the past few years the temperatures have gone up and there are now a good couple of weeks any year where it is more comfortable to have AC in the evening when sleeping. Of course our preference is to sleep with the windows open and let the waves lull you to sleep but sometimes you need it a little bit cooler! 😊
* Water sports equipment provided
