It was an absolutely lovely home which had lovely views from most rooms in the home, as well as direct access to a small private beach. The home had every amenity we could think of, e.g,; watershoes, sun screen, beach towels and hampers. The well appointed outdoor lanai made for relaxing evenings. The kitchen and bathrooms were supplied with everything we could need (or not even realize we needed til we saw it) It was a very comfortable, very clean home with three bedrooms positioned away from each other so that the 6 adults all felt like they had their private space to retreat to. It was a wonderful week spent with the family. Additionally, The easy communication with the management company was a cherry on top of the cake.

Absolutely perfect. This is without question the best possible combination of location, cleanliness, quality accommodation and outstanding service by the proprietors. The ocean is just steps away, the loudest noise is the ocean, yet attractions are easily reached. We will definitely return if we can.

This was a gorgeous home and amazing stay and fit our family just perfectly! The location on the reef was magical! We saw multiple turtles drifting by everyday and even an eagle ray that visited the shallows of this home’s beach twice! The only problem was we had trouble connecting our computers to the WiFi. I had to change my IP address in order to join an online class and my son was never able to connect but this wasn't a huge deal.

Paradise found

My friend and I had a fantastic vacation with whales jumping right off shore, rainbows & sunsets, and easy access to snorkeling throughout Puako at public access points. She had never been to Hawaii and I must say, she couldn’t have stayed at a better place to take it in. Property management was great and responsive. Place was very well equipped indoors and with beach supplies. Would definitely stay here again if it’s available.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location

The house is in a fantastic location on the water with a beautiful view and immediate access to the water. There is a store across the street for items and you are only 15 minutes away from Waimea or other locations with restaurants, so it is extremely convenient to stay here. The house itself is clean and spacious and well supplied. Grandma enjoyed waking up early and spending time on the lanai to watch the waves come in. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Rent this place!!!!!!!

Just returned from staying at this home. The home has everything you need to be comfortable. Location is great and the house is beautiful. The beach in front is great for snorkeling or wadding in the water. Lots of turtles here. Barb (owner) is a pleasure to deal with and Christain (property manager) is very attentive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and hope we have the opportunity to do so again.

Peace and turtles!

This is a gorgeous, well kept, well-appointed property on a peaceful area of coastline that is away from the melee of the resorts. The house sits right on the ocean, on a tiny inlet which is home to a population of turtles. We were here for Christmas and it was very peaceful and relaxing - beautiful bedrooms overlooking the ocean. If you are here at a busy time of year, definitely ask for information about activities/ reservations etc as it gets very booked up and must all be reserved in advance. Would definitely recommend it.

This place spoke to my soul!

I recently stayed at this Puako home for 5 nights with my two daughters. Holly greeted us when we got there to go over all the details of the house, the stay and the area which was very nice. It is an amazingly beautiful home which is spacious, and tastefully and serenely decorated.The beds are so comfortable and sleeping to the sound of the waves was so wonderful. Being right on the beach was amazing! I am so glad I stayed here rather than at a resort complex or in Kona. The peace and quiet of Puako was desperately needed and sincerely appreciated. I have stayed at many beachfront properties and I think this one is my all-time favorite!

Beautiful Home

This home was perfect for a family of 6. It is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and comfortable, the kitchen is amazing, the views...well, you have to come and see for yourself. It is right on the ocean in Puako, across the street from a great General Store, and about five miles from a larger store (Foodland). There are plenty of beach things to use...beach/water shoes of many sizes, and boogie boards. The owner is wonderful, as is the local caretaker. Holly and her husband Peter, take great care of this home and make sure that your vacation is trouble free. We loved this home and hope to return someday!

Simply Outstanding

We have rented many rental houses for our family vacations. Some have been memorable, some forgettable.. This house is certainly one of the very best decisions that we have made. The house is beautiful and exceptionally well equipped. We lacked for nothing. It was secluded, quiet, clean, spacious and inviting. The ocean in front of the house is filled with sea turtles and opportunities for snorkeling and kayaking. There is a wonderful market right across the street whose owners made us feel as though we were locals. The owner and the property manager were both pleasures to deal with. The house is equipped with kayaks, bikes, snorkel masks, life vests, beach chairs. None of us wanted to leave and we definitely hope to return to this house soon.
