Mele Mele 3BR Puako Beach Retreat Steps to Ocean Access

Mele Mele | 3BR Puako Beach Retreat Steps to Ocean Access

Welcome to Mele Mele, a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath beach cottage in the heart of Puako on Hawaiʻi Island’s beautiful Kohala Coast.

Located directly across Puako Beach Road from a beach access point, Mele Mele puts you just steps from the shoreline, where you can enjoy morning walks, snorkeling, tide pools, beautiful sunsets, and frequent sightings of Hawaiian green sea turtles.

The home accommodates up to 6 guests and offers a relaxed, comfortable setting for families, couples, or small groups looking to enjoy one of the Big Island’s most special coastal communities.

The Space

Mele Mele offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms with a flexible sleeping layout for up to 6 guests.

Bedroom 1

1 Queen Bed

Bedroom 2

1 Queen Bed

Bedroom 3

1 Double Bed + 1 Twin Bed

Bedroom 3 also has an attached half bathroom with a toilet and sink.

The home’s full bathroom includes a fully enclosed, private outdoor shower. There is no additional indoor shower.

Guests also enjoy air conditioning in all three bedrooms and the main living area, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable indoor gathering spaces, and a spacious tropical yard.

The layout works especially well for families, couples traveling together, or small groups who want a comfortable home base close to the coast.

Bathrooms

Mele Mele has 1 full bathroom and 1 half bathroom.

The full bathroom includes the home’s fully enclosed private outdoor shower, offering the open-air feeling of island living while still providing complete privacy.

The half bathroom is attached to Bedroom 3, which includes the double and twin beds.

Kitchen and Living Areas

The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals throughout your stay, whether you are making breakfast before heading to the beach, putting together lunch between outings, or enjoying a relaxed dinner at home.

The living and dining areas provide comfortable spaces to gather, relax, and plan the next day’s adventures.

All three bedrooms and the main living area are air-conditioned for added comfort.

Outdoor Living

Mele Mele is designed for relaxed island living.

The spacious tropical yard offers plenty of room to enjoy morning coffee, unwind after the beach, or spend time outdoors with family and friends.

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.

Guest Access

Guests have private access to the entire home and outdoor living areas during their stay, including all three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, the fully equipped kitchen, living and dining spaces, tropical yard, and private enclosed outdoor shower.

Beach access is directly across Puako Beach Road.

Please note that a white sedan is parked in the carport. Guests are welcome to park behind the vehicle or use available street parking along Puako Beach Road.

Guest Interaction

Guests can enjoy the home and property privately during their stay, but assistance is available if needed.

We are happy to help with questions about the home, Puako, nearby beaches, dining, activities, or anything else that may help make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Getting Around

A rental car is strongly recommended for staying at Mele Mele and exploring the Kohala Coast.

The home is conveniently located on Puako Beach Road, with beach access directly across the street. Beach 69, Hapuna Beach, Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea Resort, restaurants, shopping, golf, and other resort amenities are all within an easy drive.

Puako itself is a quiet residential beach community, so having a car gives you the most flexibility for groceries, dining, beach days, and exploring the rest of Hawaiʻi Island.
