  This Puako Condo is even nicer than the photos show. Walking in the door one can see immediately the interior decor is lovely -- nicely furnished and nicely equipped. We had all the cooking utensils we needed and nice dishware, plus good quality linens, good quality beach chairs, a cooler and insulated bags (good to use when marketing!), and four TV sets (although we only watched the one in the living room!). We also enjoyed the collection of "good read" books (e.g., one of John Grisham's latest). All in all, a very good place for a Puako sojourn. And the Puako neighborhood itself is unique on the Big Island -- about the only place with homes right on the ocean and ocean access at many places along the 1 1/2 miles of Puako Beach Drive. If one wants nightlife, golf courses and lots of shopping, Puako is not the place to come. But if one wants to experience the way Hawaii used to be, laid back and low key, come to Puako.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  Owner response: Aloha John and Gretchen, Thank you for your gracious review of our condo in Hawaii! We couldn't agree with you more, the ambience of Puako is extraordinary and that's why we chose it and furnished the way we have...it's a little slice of paradise! Your five star review is especially meaningful to us since you are familiar with the area and many other lodging opportunities. We deeply appreciate your taking the time to reveal to others what we see and experience. Please join us again when you are thinking of a special Hawaii getaway. All our best, Sonja & Steve

  We wish we could have stayed longer at this lovely and comfortable condo in Puako. So close to wonderful beaches, with privacy in a quiet beach neighborhood. We were glad to use the boogie boards and beach chairs and we packed the cooler with lunches to take with us. The condo was so thoughtfully supplied and we made a couple of great dinners. Also enjoyed the suggestion of Cafe Pesto for dinner one night. Other suggestions and arrangements with Sonja were so easy and helpful. Perfect location. We hope to return!

  We stayed at this condo for two weeks with friends. We found the unit to be clean and met all of our requirements. The rooms were comfortable and beds excellent. The location to the beaches and snorkeling was exactly what we were looking for. Being able to access items such as bogey boards and beach chairs as well as an excellent supply of towels was a very nice touch. We would definitely recommend this unit and will possibly even be considering it in the future.

  We have stayed in this charming condo twice now and do plan on doing it again and again. It is very clean, comfortable and has everything that you would want in your "own" place...because that is just what it is during your rental time. A home away from home. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is comfortable, you couldn't ask for a more convienent place to stay if you are a beach bum, love to snorkel or want to walk across the street with your favorite beverage to watch the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Puako is the most charming, peaceful, friendly area we have ever stayed at and we have come to Hawaii every year for the past 13 years. We have stayed in hotels and homes but this condo by far is our favorite. We will never stay anywhere else again. For your money, you could not ask for a better place to leave your "slippers" at the door of for any vacation. I highly recommend Puako for your next vacation. It doesn't get any better than this.

  The condo was small but very comfortable for 3 adults--great beds and couch-- very small lanai and kind of odd it's off the bedroom and not living area--we were a bit disappointed that the condo was right over the parking lot but it does have a beautiful view to the north---nice it's on the 3rd floor-- it's a great location as far as getting to beaches, over to tropical garden, north side lookouts--beach 69 was our favorite for scenery, snorkeling and swimming, --turtles, lots of fish and even 2 manta rays in the cove to the south one morning---mauna kae was best for boogie boarding--get there early. It was great to have boogie boards (4), chairs, etc. at the condo. amazing coastline at Puako, the scenery is so pretty and the turtles are very cool. Our last night there we watched the sunset from the beach across the street and whales were jumping as the sun was going down--amazing! puako road was a nice walk and there's a trail at the end of the road down to the next big resort area- and lots of shoreline access areas to explore along the road. We had a great week and highly recommend it!

  Sonja - your condo is nicely decorated and well equipped. Puako is a relaxing place (great weather and just minutes from excellent beaches). "Truly a home away from home". Mahalo for your help and professionalism with our booking. Looking forward to returning!

  Dear Sonja, We have enjoyed every minute of our time here! We have visited several historical sites, Volcano National Park, the "black sand" beach, in the south, the Bamboo Restaurant in Hawi, the deep valleys on the east as well as the Botanical Garden,-then the visitor's center observatory on Mauna Kea, Waimea Coffee Shop several times, and of course the beaches! We've learned so much about the Big Island and its welcoming people. Thank you for introducing us to ALL of it. We now understand why you LOVE to come here. We are rich in God's blessings and your gift of those days in #303 in honor of our retirement will be a memory for a lifetime. Mahalo!! Love, Jinny & Dale S. Mercer Island, WA
