About this property
We are not renting our condo at this time due to a need for medical treatment.
Aloha! Here is your rare opportunity to experience a well-appointed, clean, & fresh condominium in the quaint little Hawaiian village of Puako! The master bedroom has a California King bed, a private lanai, and an ocean view. This unit also has a swimming pool in the complex.
We have owned our condo since 2005 before Homeaway, VRBO and Expedia merged. Our 64+ Five star ratings from our guests are a culmination of years worth of feedback (although only some are showing on this website). We are an APPROVED STVR #19-359590 following all of the Hawaii State Law Lodging requirements and our Hawaii Tax Lodging ID #T-006-562-6112; GET# GE-006-562-6112-01R. STVR stands for Short Term Vacation Rental.
This condo is a place to relax and enjoy the sunny splendor of Hawaii, with Puako being a gem of the Big Island. Sounds of the surf or returning whales in the bay can lullaby you to sleep at night. Stars are visible from the master bedroom at night! This master bedroom has its own A/C, and the living room has its own larger A/C unit with high output which cools the condo.
The second bedroom is set with a Queen size bed of equal comfort as the master and is nestled against the backside of the condo with its own private entry door. Full closets and tropical decor create a theme of relaxation.
There are plenty of extra amenities that create the real ambiance of Aloha in the Puako #303 condominium. This owner has traveled extensively and has brought into this lodging the "small things" that make our time away from home either an 'okay' experience or an excellent one!
Unexpected travel items such as soaps, shampoos, sunblock, bandaids, coffee, teas, island cookbooks, or 'Big Island Revealed', books are often available for your enjoyment. High-speed internet access, flat screen Cable TV, and outdoor dining on the lanai for breathtaking sunsets are all options that set this accommodation apart from others.
The Paniolo Room doubles as an office when the queen-size sofa bed is not in use. Give yourself a few private moments at the roomy desk to write a 'I wish you were here' postcard. If you decide to work from the condo, we also have wireless internet.
Hospitality abounds in this home as it has clean and beautiful appliances, kitchenware, and linens including six fluffy beach towels and also a selection of books. This condo has a view of the surf and coastline due to its upper location on the third floor.
Access to food and services are close by and without the Kona traffic jams! Five Star world-class resorts & hotels have chosen this region because it affords proximity to some of the finest beaches in the world (Hapuna & Wailea).
Activities on the island can also include a wealth of things; golfing, horse back riding, diving, surfing, birding, visiting botanical gardens, fishing, snorkeling, boutique shopping, spas, sailing, hiking in lush tropical forests, helicopter rides, fine dining, spiritual retreats, or beachcombing. You may also choose to explore the petroglyphs at the Archeological Reserve, discover the volcano by helicopter, visit for the Ironman Triathalon in October, humpback whale watching (Dec.-May), view the stars at the Mauna Kea observatory or slip off on a sunset sail...
A simple morning or evening stroll across the street from this Puako Condo #303 can afford you breathtaking sights of sea turtles in their natural habitat and an opportunity to snorkle or dive in protected waters and coral reefs. There is a swimming pool in the garden area of the complex for those who prefer exercising, sunning, or relaxing poolside. Pick a few seasonal fruits from the garden area and make a fresh juice smoothie to sip on while you relax!
If you are in need of a vacation getaway, privacy, refuge or renewal, eventing, or romance, this could be your place! Look no further for an exceptional lodging opportunity. The Big Island of Hawaii is listed as one of the '1000 Places To See Before You Die in the New York Times #1 Best Seller's Book List. Sorry, no smoking nor pets allowed.
Please call and ask for Puako Condo #303, or Sonja's Place! Contact information for your visit to the Big Island will be provided. Please note that interest in this property has been high, so please call and book your desired dates ahead (as soon as possible) Please scroll down if you are looking for photos and an email contact number
