Relaxing retreat
This perfect cottage in quiet Puako is walking distance from the ocean. Great place for watching the turtles and the surfers. Love the furnishings, the private garden lanai and the fresh fruit from Johnny.

Puako Pau Hana
We had a wonderful time. There was great access to the coastline and the beautiful sunsets. Quiet and great location, close to all the places we wanted to see. Comfortable furnishings and nice lanai. We ate all our meals outside. We also enjoyed the cat's company.

Why they chose this property

Puako Pau Hana is a home, you will feel the attention to detail, clean and comfortable! Listen to the sounds of the ocean as you fall asleep and the trade winds toss the palm fronds! Relax after a day of exploring the island, on the covered lanai, que up the grill and kick back with a cool drink, aaah, this is what it is all about!
We love to walk to the waters edge, take a dip, watch the sun set, in the morning watch the sun rise over the mountains, gaze across the open land to majestic Mauna Kea! It is convenient to all the resorts, but supremely quiet and private.
Petroglyph park at the Mauna Lani resort is with in walking distance. The Top Ten in the world beaches, Mauna Kea Resort and Hapuna Beach are within 4 miles, along with world class diving, golf and tennis!

We fell in love with Puako and find it to be the best place to be on the planet, nothing compares to the friendliest neighborhood feel of Puako... ride a bike, walk to the General Store, stroll in the evening to watch sunsets that will be forever in your mind & memory!
We meet people everyday, that have been coming to Puako your decades with their families, there is such a great small world feel to being here. We always feel safe and our neighbors are the best!

What makes this property unique

Located in Puako, the best diving and snorkeling on the Island!
You can hear the ocean, feel trade winds and know you are in Hawaii!
Located at the best beach access in Puako, with amazing sunsets when the Turtles come in to rest~ you may see them swimming through the channel and lava~ Please give them space, as this is their sanctuary!
The General Store is well stocked for most of your needs.
Safe & friendly neighborhood, great place to walk and ride bikes.
Walk along the beach path and in 15 minutes you are at the Orchid Hotel for lunch, dinner or pupus!
Puako is the place everyone wants to come back to!
