Great Vacation Rental

A really comfy and cozy rental. Very well stocked and right next to a little general store. The caretaker worked tirelessly to clean and maintain the area after a large rainstorm.

Quiet and off the beaten path. Liked proximity to area resorts and beaches without all the noise. Unit was well stocked for all cooking needs. Lots of beach equipment available in the unit to use. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Booking staff communicated well. Didn’t get a chance to use the outdoor pool but looked private and inviting. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Condo!

Everything was tidy, and well stocked! The community is very friendly, especially the building manager! She made sure our stay was a pleasant one, and wasn't afraid to ask if we needed help with anything. Puako is a very beautiful location, and most of all it's peaceful and quiet, which is a huge plus! Mahalo!

Well situated convenient to a beach right of way, this unit was exactly what I was looking for. I was traveling solo so didn’t need the three bedrooms, but I wanted a stay at Puako, so booked it even if a higher cost than if I looked elsewhere. The unit was well equipped with a full kitchen as well as ability to use a deck grill. This end unit actually had two decks.

Puako stay

Perfect place to stay without the resort price. Small, but had everything we needed, and 2 bathrooms was a definite plus. Kitchen well-stocked with tools, but bring your own water bottles. The beds were comfortable, but AC only in the master. Also supplied many of the water toys. Would rent again.

Great place, Quiet and close to great snorkeling and beaches.

The 3 bedroom property is very nice. Close to beaches and snorkeling. We had trouble getting into the property because the entry info had not been updated on VRBO. We tried the numbers that we had and no one answered. They knew about our late arrival. They apologized for the mistake. We had a great time after getting in.

Aloha Carla, Thank you for staying with us. As you acknowledge earlier, we had sent you instructions with the updated information and it had been opened by the recipient according to our CRM messaging prior to arrival. We have added a couple other double checks including a new messaging platform this year. Arlene and I are personally available for late arrival communication. Mahalo! Jay

We had 4 adults and 2 teenagers. This was our first trip to the Big Island. The location of the condo was perfect! We enjoyed walks along the road and two access roads were close by to get to the ocean. The one to the left had turtles every morning and beautiful sunsets at night. Beautiful sand beaches are just to the north. The condo fit our family perfectly and had EVERYTHING you could possibly need. They had beach chairs, coolers, and ice packs which was really nice. The neighbors were all very nice, the area is quiet, the pool is refreshing, and it was really nice having the general store next door.

Puako vacay

Loved the property - comfortable for a family if 5 with kids over the age of 16 and very well appointed. Everything you need is there - kitchen is great and perfect for meals. Unit is quiet and great sleep at night. There is a nice beach across the road and a short walk to beach 69 which is truly amazing. Look forward to coming back soon. Mahalo

We loved the quite neighborhood feeling and easy access to many beaches either by walking or driving. We are not "resort" people and really liked the homey feel of this unit. Very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. We are hoping to return next year with more of our family.

The condo was exactly as advertised. Made a great home base for our trip. Conveniently located near beaches and resorts. The supplied beach equipment (towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.) were very much appreciated. Marla was very responsive when we needed something during our stay.

A dream come true!

Thank you so much for sharing this delightful home with us. Puako is beautiful, with several small beaches to choose from in easy walking distance. We saw seven turtles on one of our morning walks! It was a morning tradition for us to visit one sleeping turtle friend at the beach access so my daughter could sing him a lullaby (The turtles will stay on the beach with you for a long time as long as you stay a respectful distance away). Our kids, ages 6 and 8 were doted on by the lovely people at the condo and at the general store next door and felt special and loved the whole time we were there. Fresh fruit was amazing, bananas, mangos, and lines growing all over the property. We loved that there were snorkels to borrow, and children's life jackets. Several great beaches so nearby (beach 69 was my favorite, but my son loved boogie boarding at Hapuna). The condo had everything we needed and my son declared it to be the "best condo here" because of the two lanai and the AC. This place was a slice of peace and paradise. Don't forget to step outside at night and be amazed by the stars!

Nice quiet place.

The condo was basically as described. It is really two condos joined together. It is a little smaller than it seems in the pictures but not bad. Neither bathroom is joined to a master which was a little inconvenient. Access to snorkeling is one of the important things to us and there is great snorkeling there, but few if any ways to get into the water. The whole shoreline for miles is all lava. Also, be prepared for a lot of biting bugs. We went out the first night to watch the sunset and were all bit up for the rest of the trip and we were only out for about 15 minutes. Our timing was bad too as low tide was in the morning making it almost impossible to get into the water. Had we known that, we would not have chosen this location. Other than that, it was a nice place.

Condo was perfect.

The condo easily accommodated 3 couples. The location in Puako was perfect for access to beaches. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The two decks provided a sun or shade place to sit or eat. Beach towels and beach chairs were available for our use. There is an electric barbecue that is easy to use. The decor was very nice.Right next door is a store that has everything you need.

Quiet, great location, and a kitchen better stocked that most home kitchens. The off shore breezes flow right through the house providing a refreshing atmosphere. Easy access to the ocean for snorkeling.

Perfect for our family of 4

We had a fabulous stay at Puako Condo #101. It was well-maintained & clean with no tropical pest issues. Beds were super comfy. Bathrooms & kitchen were stocked with anything you might need. Entire unit was attractively furnished. The location is perfect, next to a general store & a short walk to two beaches. We plan to return next year-absolutely loved it!!

Great location

Nice location across from Puako beach, with good access to Saddle Road, Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beaches. The condo had some issues -- there was no land-line (an issue for Canadians who need an expensive roaming plan!) , no BBQ (although an electric grill was provided on request), smoke detector battery died during our first night (ie no one had checked it) and there were some issues with the cleaning. There was no parasol on the lanai, so it was a very hot place to eat lunch. According to the property manager, the ownership had recently changed, so there were things to iron out. Most issues were addressed by the property managers, which was appreciated. The lack of A/C was not an issue, as there was a beautiful breeze at night. The kitchen is very well equipped, and we loved the fruit trees just outside our door!! We enjoyed the oranges, bananas, lemons and limes. If you are driving a large vehicle such as a mini-van, the parking spot is a bit challenging. We did enjoy our stay, and appreciated the follow-up message from the property management regarding our issues.

Aloha and thank you for staying with us! Most of our Vacation Rentals do not have a landline phones. This is because people prefer to use their cell phone and it is the first time a Canadian had mentioned that to us that it was a problem. Thank you! We had not noticed the umbrella disappeared perhaps the wind had blown it away… But all you have to do is call us and we are quick to respond and replace. We would've been happy to put an umbrella on the lanai! We do our best on all cleaning and repair issues and are quick to respond.... thank you for acknowledging that. The only mention of new ownership was to let you know that new items we're being purchased such as a new grill which arrived on November 14… We were lucky to be able to borrow one for your stay. Since it was in the process of being shipped. Mahalo for staying with us! We appreciate all the helpful feed back especially going to all the details on how your vacation stay would be perfect. As we are striving for exceptional stays and excellent values we will deliver an even better stay for everyone given your experienced feedback! Aloha!
