Located on the Kohala Coast, Puako neighborhood is an enchanting tropical paradise, with a blend of old Hawaiian charm and quietude. This section of the Kohala Coast has 160 homes, 9 beach accesses, 2 churches and 1 general store. Puako is the sunniest spot on the Big Island with 8 - 10 inches of rainfall per year!
Enjoy morning walks to the Mauna Lani, Orchid Hotel and historic Petroglyph park along oceans trails of black lava and white corral. . Spend your day relaxing on the shady lanai enjoying the trade winds.
The white sandy beaches and clear deep blue water are home to hundreds of sea turtles and tropical sea life. Puako has some of the best snorkeling and diving on the Big Island and is a wonderful spot to explore marine life for either a novice snorkler or an advanced SCUBA diver. In winter months, you can watch mother whales training their calves; a truly miraculous sight!
Golf is available at many wonderful courses through the island (the closest courses is less than a 5 min drive from Puako.)
The home is also a 5 minute drive to wonderful spas, shopping and dining. This vacation spot has something for everyone.
The newly remodeled 2,000 square foot Hawaiian style home is a great spot for families and friends. It's spacious with a tropical entrance, hardwood floors, a large dining table, modern kitchen, and open showers with tile and glass blocks. The back yard lanai is equipped with ceiling fans; perfect for lounging, listening to the sound of the local birds and eating bananas off the garden trees. The yard is a wonderful place for children to play on the large lawn . There is also a private bamboo outdoor shower with changing room and storage for beach gear.
The four bedroom house has a king bed, 2 queen beds, and set of twin beds.
A wonderful location and beautiful home perfect for relaxing and island activities!

We had a great stay with 4 adults and 3 children. The house is beautifully furnished, lots of room for the kids to run around and the perfect lush green backyard for resting up after the beach. Location couldn't be better, next door to the market, across the street from our favourite beach access! Lots of beach accessories like umbrella, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards which came in very handy. Looking forward to our next visit!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Loved our stay here! Came with a group of 7 for a wedding in the area. The home is beautiful - lots of light and very convenient as it is right next to the general store, beach and highway. Kitchen has everything you need and lots of beach supplies (beach chairs, umbrella, toys, towels) are provided as well. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: thank you so much for taking the time to post this review. I just spent 10 days at the house and made some little upgrades. I can't wait to return in august and I hope you get to come back soon as well. Diane oh named house with the help of a local friend, Hale Uluwehi. It means verdant, green, lush and tropical.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this 4 bedroom family home during spring break. We traveled with our teenage sons and my husband's parents and the layout of the bedrooms allowed for both privacy and comfort. We also made good use of the large gourmet kitchen to cook not only small meals but some nice dinners which we enjoyed eating on the peaceful and large lanai out back. The privacy of the house, proximity to the both the beach and general store, and the outdoor shower made this house perfect for our beach vacation. I would highly recommend this house to anyone traveling to the Big Island with family!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
