Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(59 traveler reviews)
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.
Fantastic!
Amazing property, location & hosts. Can't wait to come back.
What a Cool Spot!
This cottage is excellent and is exactly what we hoped for. Plenty of room for 4 people, TWO lanais for hanging out, the property is really well landscaped and beautiful. The owner's house is in the back but cleverly separated with foliage and blinds. We felt like we had this piece of paradise all to ourselves. The cottage is just a few houses down from beach access, where you can sunbathe and see turtles resting at night. Then, we often spent days at Beach 69 or woke early and found parking at Muana Kea. Puako is unique, it's a quiet, friendly neighborhood that is in a really cool spot. Lots and lots of cool stuff in waling or biking distance then even more cool stuff a short drive away. It's a great value and the owners are super friendly and easy going.
Perfect home in a dreamy location
We couldn't recommend David and Kim's place more highly! Great value, charm, comfort, and personality, combined with one of the most beautiful spots on earth. Plus, David was so helpful and a font of information.
We loved the location of the home, on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island, in the completely charming neighborhood/beach front community of Puako. The best snorkeling was there, the best turtle viewing, and the best weather on the island (we were there in winter).
The home is comfortable, attractive, and has everything one might want to use: towels, beach chairs, bikes, a well stocked kitchen, and even good beds. We slept 4 very comfortably.
The garden and front lanai are also lovely. The only downside of the tropical garden setting is the mosquitos, and we managed fine by staying inside for meals (the door and window screens are all solid, so no mossies inside).
Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We loved our stay!
We loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat. A spacious, appealing accommodation with everything we needed-a well equipped kitchen, beach chairs, cruiser bikes, snorkel equipment, boogie boards, covered and uncovered outdoor spaces, and plentiful beach towels. Walking across the street to some of the island's excellent snorkeling, sunset viewing, and whale and turtle viewing was phenomenal. David gave us excellent tips for exploring and provided extra touches that made our stay special. We would return and recommend in a heartbeat!
Map
Puako is the only ocean side residential community on the Kohala Coast. It is still a well kept secret of original cottages and large estate homes nestled on the coastline where all of the major 5 star resorts have been built. Small beaches and petroglyph field within walking distance. Sheltered reef for snorkeling, shore diving, swimming, under water photography.
