Wonderful stay in paradise..
Our family of 4 Spent a week at this cozy beach cottage...great location away from the resorts...snorkeling right across the street was the best on the island..house has everything you need for the beach! Chairs, towels, cooler bags..etc. close to the best beaches! So many turtles to see at night resting in the rocks...we counted 21 one night.
Limes picked right off the tree were delicious in our drinks!
Thank you for a great stay!
Great house, within walking distance of beach.
We loved our stay at this cute vintage beach cottage! The Puako location is one of the best on the island. We were able to walk to a handful of snorkeling locations and access others that were only a short drive from the house. We could walk to the resorts south of the Puako house to view petroglyphs or buy groceries, if needed. The house itself has been really nicely redone and is well taken care of, doesn't feel like it was built in the1940's. David was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the the area. We did pay extra for the air conditioning and it was worth it. We will definitely be back and plan on staying here again.
Perfect for the family and childhood memories
Our family stayed at this lovely cottage for 8 nights and loved every minute of it. We have 2 tween boys and the cottage was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed. We usually go out to eat once in a while on vacation but this time we opted to cook all our meals here! David greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour and was such a wonderful host - he even chopped open a coconut for us! The property is nicely landscaped and has herbs in the front for cooking. The bikes came in handy to make a quick trip for supplies at the Puako General Store or the Mauna Lani Foodland via the beach trail, and the snorkel gear and boogie boards were great for the kids to use at the beach.
Puako has a special place in my heart because I grew up on the other side of the island and my parents would take me here to enjoy the quiet beaches and tidal pools. I was happy to have my sons experience the same peace and beauty of the island while staying here. Mahalo for your hospitality and we hope to be back soon!
Holds a special place in our hearts
We loved our stay. The house was spotless, cozy, bright, airy, and had the most delightful clean scent. All week, I kept walking around the house saying "I love this house." The photos don't do it justice.
We have two small boys--one of them quite adventurous--and they played outdoors in the yard from early morning until night. David was a font of information for us regarding all things local--flora, fauna, events, etc. We adored him and appreciated all he did to make our family feel welcome and at home. Could not recommend this cottage more highly. Very easy to cook, do laundry, sleep, and make a little Hawaiian life here.
Ideal for family vacation
The place was perfect and had everything we needed from snorkeling gear to beach toys, to child and adult bikes. David even brought out a miniature lounge chair for our 3 year old daughter. Quaint but well appointed - could certainly be described as a luxury property.
We loved relaxing in the wrap around patio with an exotic garden and lawn for our daughter to run around in. There was total privacy but David was extremely attentive and happy to provide useful tips and suggestions whenever we asked. Puako is a very special part of the island and it was not uncommon to see sea turtles hanging out just across the street. Highly recommended.
a perfect piece of paradise
This cottage was everything we hoped for! We were warmly greeted and given a quick tour and contact info. The house was stocked with everything we needed and the location was fabulous. You have to love a vacation where you wake up to the sound of birds, walk down the road to buy mangoes from a neighbor and cross over to the beach for amazing snorkeling.
