Private Puako Home - NO shared walls! Full Mauna Kea Views & Steps to the Beach
Aloha! Welcome to ʻOhana Hale, your private Puako retreat. The whole property is yours with NO shared walls as a condo has. You'll have a stunning forest and unobstructed view of majestic Mauna Kea from the lanai, living room and dining area. This quiet and tranquil location is literally 100 steps away from the beach. This is your perfect spot on the Big Island to relax and rejuvenate far from the crowds and human noises. You'll delight in the symphony of bird calls and perhaps the trade winds in the palm fronds. Situated in the quiet historic shoreline community of Puako, our comfortable accommodations provide vacationers a perfect home base for those coming to the Big Island to find their balance or to find their adventure.
Enjoy walking out the sliding door every morning onto the grass area to enjoy a beautiful sunrises over Mauna Kea with your cup of Kona coffee. Take a morning or mid-day stroll to the beach to view sea turtles, swim, snorkel, or just sit and read a book listening to the sounds of the surf. Walk to nearby ancient Hawaiian lava petroglyphs. Be sure to check out the night sky from the backyard. The special lighting on the island for the observatories on top of Mauna Kea makes for a break taking view.
Ohana Hale showcases Big Island paintings of fine art by local artist Christian Enns (christianenns.com) who has a gallery at neighboring resort to the north, Hapuna Prince, as well as a studio and gallery in the neighborhood. Our home sleeps four with the primary bedroom having king sized bed, guest bedroom with two single beds, a living room with large couch and dining area which seats six. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, two bathrooms, washer, dryer, outdoor shower, air conditioning, and an outdoor BBQ. All linens and furnishings are newly refreshed. This property is an excellent space stay, play and relax while on the Big Island.
Puako offers access to some of the best snorkel and diving experiences on the Big Island. You will be near world famous golf courses, delightful outdoor shopping malls that feature an array of great boutique shops and some of the best Big Island dining and views. Of course if you're interested in any of the many water sport activities the Kawaihae harbour and nearby resorts at Waikoloa beach have a wide variety of offers. Take advantage of the many sunset catamaran excursions or sunset excursions to the top of Mauna Kea at close to 14,000 feet (~4200 meters) above sea level. There are also five National Parks on the island. Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site is the closest being a 15 minute drive to the north and highly recommended to learn more about the Hawaiian history and culture.

About the host
Hosted by Ken
We are empty nesters who enjoy splitting our time between our home here in Puako and our home in the Pacific Northwest. We enjoy skiing and snowboarding which leaves our tropical home to those who wish to escape the colder climates during the late Fall to early Spring months. We enjoy being able to share this sweet little spot with others as an affordable option outside of the resorts. When we are on the Big Island we love spending time in the ocean, diving, surfing, paddling and swimming. The hikes along the coast and other local trails like Pu'u Wa'awa'a Forest Reserve (45 min) are our favorite.
Why they chose this property
We were introduced to Puako almost 20 years ago dreamed of perhaps retiring here. Although still not retired we were able to purchase in the neighborhood many years back and have enjoyed being able to share our home while also coming a few times a year to enjoy it ourselves. It's a non gated community with an eclectic mix of small beach cottages and large multistory houses. One road in and out reduces the traffic flow of a through street so it remains private and quiet. The proximity to the ocean and walking trails is a wonderful draw so we don't have to drive to reach the beach or get in a good walk.
What makes this property unique
The proximity to the ocean and some of the best diving and snorkeling on the island is what makes this place extra special. The west facing coast gives us beautiful sunsets while our wide open eastern view of Muana Kea gives us break taking sunrises. Nestled between four of the top resorts on the island validates what a beautiful coastline Kohala coast is. The appearance of whales from ~Novemenber to ~March is a highlight but the nightly turtles that come up to beach themselves is always a welcome sight. Our simple floorplan with two rooms on opposite ends of the house and a common area in the middle allows for privacy within the house. There is plenty of space on the lanai to lounge as well as a round table that seats six near the BBQ for outdoor dining.
