About this property

BEACHFRONT HOME 2 acres, Pool, Tennis, Volleyball. Like your own private resort!

Kahieluana means a place to relax and enjoy the company of loved ones. That’s why we custom designed this brand new house to have 5 masters, so nobody has to get the bad room. And whether your version of relaxing means reading in a beachside hammock, playing tennis, snorkeling with turtles, whipping up an incredible meal with local ingredients, all of these activities and more are onsite so you can do all the relaxing you need without having to leave the two acre property. It's like having your own private resort.

The house features a heated pool and deck that is designed for everyone to gather to watch the sunset. The bay directly in front of the house is shallow and wave-free, ideal for our young son to learn to swim, spend afternoons playing in the black sand and watch an assortment of turtles, juvenile fish and sea animals. Whales breach from December through March.

If you choose to leave the property, you will find Puako to be charming and authentic, things you can't get at a commercial resort. Amazing sea life abounds in our reef, including turtle cleaning stations, colorful tropical fish and manta and spotted eagle rays. We have a well-stocked general store (fresh poke on Friday) a short walk or bike down the road filled with colorful locals. In the other direction, Beach 69, a local secret, is a 10 minute walk with waves, white sand, and great snorkeling.

We look forward to welcoming your group of friends or your family with Aloha. In the meantime, please follow Kahieluana on Instagram

Serene and Beautiful

We will never forget this beautiful family vacation in such a gorgeous setting. This area in Puako is one we hope to return to very soon. The owners were very, very responsive and kind with any issues or questions we had. This gorgeous home is every bit as beautiful as the pictures portray. It was perfect - especially the kids' toy room - for our family. Plenty of room for all nine of us. And the information booklet with such great details about the area was so, so helpful. Thank you, Andy and Kim, for making us feel very welcome in your lovely home.

Beautiful Property and Great Place for Family Vacation!

This was a perfect home for our family vacation. There was plenty of space for everyone, the kids had things to do like swim, play volleyball and tennis, and hangout. The kitchen was amazing with everything you could ever need. The beds were very comfy and bathrooms well equipped. We loved cooking dinner and watching the sunset over the water each night. This was the best family vacation we have had! Don't look any further and book today. AMAZING PROPERTY WITH THE BEST PROPERTY OWNERS! CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!

Amazing!

From the start of the booking process to checking out Andy, Kim and Leah were amazing. They were so attentive and payed attention to every single detail. I’ve stayed in a lot of rental properties and have never had a home that was this well appointed from dishes to “toys” for the house, beds and linens were perfect, everything you could ever want in the kitchen was there. Definitely a 5 star plus home and 5 star plus experience working with them. Totally an amazing experience and would recommend their beautiful home!

This house is super spacious, plenty of room for our group of 14, and it felt like a luxury resort with all the upgrades. The pool definitely got a lot of use and how glorious to watch the sunrise while paddle boarding. There is so much to do on this property from tennis to volleyball to snorkeling etc. You name it, they have provided it. As with any vacation rental, a couple of little things popped up during our stay. A tripped breaker on the electrical panel and a plumbing hiccup; but Andy was super easy to get in touch with. He was on it faster than a Jimmy John’s sandwich delivery. All in all, this house made for a fun, relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommend this place for the location, amenities and the owner. Thank you Andy for answering all our questions leading up to this trip and your recommendations of places to eat and things to see were on point. Absolutely loved your app detailing all the features of the home.

Little piece of paradise

We needed a house with five bedrooms and with their Ohana mini house on the side we got all the bedrooms we needed. The property is beautiful. The house is just like it is in the pictures. The sunsets were magical. The property owners are very responsive and helpful with anything we needed.we went with their recommendation and had a private chef on the property one of the evenings which was a wonderful experience as well. We had rental cars and could go many places with ease. You’re not in a resort, but you have access to resorts in 10 to 15 minutes. We explored different golf courses and restaurants in every direction. The house is very close to the main highway, but distant enough, you don’t hear anything and have privacy.

Wow! An incredible house in an amazing location!

Everything about this property is amazing! The view is incredible, walking to the beach in a few steps is wonderful, the home is one of one in the world! The pool and the kitchen are large and have everything we could want. The host is very nice and we preordered groceries and they were there when we arrived. Even the coffee table books and coffee maker were really nice. Everything worked and we felt like we were in paradise. Riding the bikes to the little store or paddle boarding right out front was so nice. You can arrive in your car have a wonderful time and never need to leave. My four kids and their spouse s and my grandkids had the best trip ever! If you can visit this home, you should! I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for the super experience! Unbelievable! John

Exquisite Property

This beautiful home was perfect for our Hawaiian vacation! We had 10 people in our party (4 adults, 6 kids). We had more than enough room. The home owners carefully thought of every last detail when designing and furnishing this home. Each room is not only tastefully decorated, but includes extras such as plenty of storage for clothing, laundry rooms on both floors, beach and pool towels, more than enough cookware and dishes. They even provide lovely bath and shower amenities. The location is amazing although we really never needed to leave the property. Beach 69 and Hapuna is only a short jaunt away, not to mention the fun area to explore right out your back door. The owners are cordial and responsive to your needs. We cannot say enough about our experience! We will most definitely return!

Beautiful home

As advertised, this home is quite beautiful and very well stocked! The home is immaculate, and the services they recommended were very much on point-please use Sue the chef and get to know Leah! We were just one couple, and did not really use all the amenities the home had to offer, but they were sure fun to have on property. One big problem was this. There is active construction going on directly next door to the property. I felt taken advantage of, as that was not mentioned at all in any of the details or correspondence with the owners. It is a great effort to get here, and to have the drill, the porta potty and the music blasting next door greatly diminished our experience here.

Amazing home in Puako Bay

What can I say? This place was spectacular and worth every penny. Our family of 11 (adult kids and their significant others) plus our 14 month granddaughter had the most memorable stay at Kim and Andy's home. The house was awesome and everyone spent at least the first 2 days oohing and ahhing over every detail. The location was so beautiful, with sunsets each evening and spectacularly gorgeous mornings. We were lucky enough to have late moon rises and sets during our stay so the abundance of sparkling water right out our windows day and night was beyond. We loved being close to awesome beaches (Hapuna state park is just up the road and a amazing swim beach), not to mention golf and shopping/restaurants at Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea...but between the volleyball and tennis courts, pool, SUP's and lawn games....we didn't want to leave. We also had sea turtles in the cove each day! What more could you ask for? Thank you for helping us create a lifelong memory for our family. We'll be back!

House Review

We rented the house for a week for a family trip of eight persons. First off, the house is gorgeous and rivals any of the five star resorts on the island. With a beautiful view of the cove, the outdoor spaces are thoughtful with shade and sun, and the pool is divine. The kitchen is roomy and very well equipped with top of the line appliances and it easily accommodated our group. Bedrooms and bathrooms are beautifully appointed and all feature outdoor showers. Secondly, the location is terrific with Beach 69 being a 15 minute walk (or 2 minute drive) away and pretty snorkeling just off the dock next door to the property. The shops at Mauna Lani and Waikoloa are less than 10 and 15 minutes away respectively. And fresh Hawaiian malasadas (donuts) are just at the top of the road. Finally, what stands apart is the service. Andy was responsive to our questions about the high tech in the kitchen (could a dishwasher really clean dishes in 15 minutes, could we really make our own espresso by touching a button) and his team does a marvelous job looking after the place. For a group or family you can spend $1000 per room per night, share resort amenities with a bunch of strangers, and spend a fortune on drinks and food. Or you can come here—to easy luxury on your terms.

Dream Vacation in Puako

Having visited the Big Island many times, I was still unaware of what is now my favorite area, Puako! This small area is charming, intimate, & private while still accessible to a wide array of beaches, restaurants, shopping - in short, there is little one might want to do that isn't within driving distance. However, we rarely wanted to leave this magnificent home which provided a playground for our family of 16. First of all, the physical property and accommodations are first class. Beautiful bedrooms in the main house open fully to the outdoors with magnificent unobstructed views of the ocean and cove. The adjoining two bedroom cottage provides privacy for those who wish a little more quiet. Linens, towels, even robes exemplify the owners generosity in treating their guests with the accoutrements they would use for themselves. The "kids" bunk room is a treat unto itself - five cousins had the time of their lives and will always remember this very special vacation. And the "surprise" playroom with special access and a magical stairway was a treat even the adults delighted in. I have never stayed in a rental home that was so well appointed - the kitchen had every appliance we could have wanted (along with a separate ice maker that provided as much as we needed -and more!). The espresso machine was a godsend to starting our mornings. And any sporting equipment one might want, along with children's toys & games were at our disposal. Leah, our "concierge" had our refrigerator well-stocked upon our request and was always available for questions. Kahieluana is a very rare and special property that is so much more than the pictures and descriptions portray. Our family will always treasure this unique experience.

Better than the listing says!

You can't find a better place for a large family with all ages. The pool is fantastic. The snorkeling in the bay is good. and accessible, The house couldn't be better. The separate apartment was perfect for the older girls. The sound system is peerless. The grill and kitchen make feeding a large family so easy. The secret room was a hit with the younger boys. And the intro tour is beyond helpful with excellent suggestions about which activities are fun. You can't do better.

Modern beachfront oasis in Puako

This Big Island beachfront getaway was perfect for my 50th birthday "Hawaii 5-0" destination celebration. Your home is truly a modern design marvel complete with indoor/outdoor living spaces, super functional kitchen and spacious master suites. The kids loved the bunk room with secret playroom complete with toys. Amenities abound with all the outdoor sporting equipment. It was an adult playground with pool, tennis court, beach volleyball and of course paddle-boarding from our own private ocean cove. Sunsets were spectacular from the infinity pool and we even used the fire pit. It was hard to leave to explore the rest of the island since everything you needed to relax & enjoy was provided at the house. The Puako location is perfect near other local white sand beaches and top notch golf courses. I really appreciated the personal touch of the property owner, Andy, who was always accessible and prompt with responses both before our arrival and during our stay. We hope to return to this special place in the near future. Mahalo for everything, Anna & Dan Anchorage, AK October 2021

Why they chose this property

Puako is a very special place, and we feel this property is one of the most special in Puako. Situated on a small, protected cove within Puako Bay, it provides tranquility, amazing views, and access to one of the best reefs in Hawaii.
