One of the home’s most memorable features is the private enclosed outdoor shower, which is especially convenient after snorkeling, swimming, or spending the day at the beach.
Location
Puako is one of Hawaiʻi Island’s most beloved coastal communities, known for its peaceful residential feel, beautiful shoreline, snorkeling, tide pools, spectacular sunsets, and Hawaiian green sea turtles.
Mele Mele is located directly across Puako Beach Road from a beach access point, making it easy to reach the shoreline throughout the day.
The home is also close to some of the Kohala Coast’s best-known beaches, including Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach.
Puako is conveniently situated between the Mauna Lani Resort and Mauna Kea Resort areas, giving guests easy access to nearby resort restaurants, shopping, golf, spas, and other amenities while still enjoying the quieter atmosphere of a residential beach community.
It’s the best of both worlds: a laid-back Puako stay with world-class beaches and resort conveniences close by.
