Aloha! Here is your rare opportunity to experience a well-appointed luxury condominium in the quaint Hawaiian village of Puako! The master bedroom has a private lanai and oceanview. This room is equipped with a California King Size bed and a Designer Englander II mattress to make your resting space replete.
Experience the gentle tropical breezes while sipping a cup of Kona coffee or enjoying a cool drink. Relax and enjoy the sunny splendor of Puako, the gem of the Big Island, where sounds of the surf or returning whales in the bay can lullaby you to sleep at night...
The second bedroom is set with a Queen size bed of equal comfort and is nestled against the backside of the condo with its own private entry door. Full closets and a tropical decor create a theme of relaxation and flat screen TV/DVD player is available for your enjoyment.
There are plenty of extra amenities that create the real ambience of Aloha in the Puako #303 condominium. This owner has traveled extensively and has brought into this lodging the "small things" that make our time away from home either an "okay" experience or an excellent one!
Unexpected travel items such as soaps, shampoos, sunblock, bandaids, coffee, teas, beachmats, island cookbooks, or "Big Island Revealed", books are often available for your enjoyment. High speed internet access, flat screen TV/DVDs, and outdoor dining on the lanai for breathtaking sunsets are all options that set this accommodation apart from others.
The Paniolo Room doubles as an office when the queen size sofa bed is not in use. Give yourself a few private moments at the roomy desk to write a "I wish you were here" postcard or "you've got to come and join me!" to friends or loved ones...
Hospitality abounds in this home as it has clean and beautiful appliances, kitchenware and linens including six fluffy beach towels and also a selection of beach books for your trip to the beach. This condo has a view of the surf and coastline which is more readily available than others in the complex due to its location on the third floor.
Access to food and services are close by and without the Kona traffic jams! Five Star world-class resorts & hotels have chosen this region because it affords the proximity to some of the finest beaches in the world (Hapuna & Wailea).
Activities on the island can also include a wealth of things; golfing, horse backriding, diving, surfing, birding, visiting botanical gardens, fishing, snorkeling, boutique shopping, spas, sailing, hiking in lush tropical forests, helicopter rides, fine dining, spiritual retreats, or beachcombing. You may also choose to explore the petroglyphs at the Archeological Reserve, discovering the volcano by helicopter, visiting for the Ironman Triathalon in October, humpback whale watching (Dec.-May), viewing the stars at the Mauna Kea observatory or slipping off on a sunset sail...
A simple morning or evening stroll across the street from this Puako Condo #303 can afford you breathtaking sights of sea turtles in their natural habitat and an opportunity to snorkel or dive in pristine & protected waters and coral reefs. There is a swimming pool in the garden area of the complex for those who prefer exercising , sunning, or relaxing poolside. Pick a few seasonal oranges or bananas from the garden area and make a fresh juice smoothie to sip on while you relax!

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!

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

New Years EVE-January 6th, 2010--What a way to start the New Year 2010! :-) I am sitting here watching the waves rush in, hearing the roar, contemplating the week that was so memorable and filled with Aloha. The sound of the birds every morning to the darkness of the star lit nights; the historical and breathtaking scenery of Puako and the entire Kohala Coastline...AMAZING!! Without a doubt, your condo is descriptably accurate to a tee! And much more! It is the nicest, most elegant, and deeply satisfying condo we have stayed at, so comfortable and peaceful. And the beds, excellent!! As I gaze upon the shimmering sun lit water, I feel we were so fortunate and blessed to have chosen your Puako piece of Paradise. And yesterday as I hiked the lava mounds for the last time I saw and marveled at 16 turtles just lolling away-ah, what a life! Love, Joy, Peace, Prosperity and Compassion for you all, Joe & Karen Frascone & Mary C. K.

Our family recently stayed at "Sonja's Place" and highly recommend her affordable well-appointed condo. Puako is a unique semi-residential area surrounded by large hotel/townhome developments. There are lovely beaches a short drive away (we esp. loved "Beach 69," a 2 minute drive, which has large shade trees for those seeking respite from the sun), and our kids (8 and 11 years old) had a fantastic time snorkeling from an access just down Puako road (eels, turtles, coral, all sorts of reef fish abound). The condo itself is not large, but with the 2 bedrooms plus study, it accommodated 3 adults and 3 kids without problem. Guests needs have been anticipated well, with all sorts of beach amenities provided (towels, boogie boards, beach shoes -- even a supply of sunscreen for those who might have run out or haven't yet made it to the market). We used the grill every night we were there, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our large crew for a week. I do disagree with the poster who did not recommend the condo for kids, as we found it very child-friendly overall. The onsight manager, Sarah, was especially helpful for any onsite needs we had. A great experience overall!

We had an awesome trip in Puako in your beautifully decorated condo! Puako was one of my most favorite tropical places to stay as the beaches are close by and sea life abundant. We loved visiting the turtles across the street each day. That was a real treat! For those visiting, go to the beach between mile marker 88 & 89 for boogle boarding, beach 69 for awesome snorkeling, and dont go to Hapuna beach on a windy day without sunglasses! ") Have fun! --Amy M.
