Hale Puako has been owned and loved by the same family since 1978. It is not a fancy home, for those used to luxury accommodations, it may be a bit rustic for you, but for many families who return year-after-year, this is their favorite. Savor some time, as they have, on this half acre of paradise, surrounded by a lush, green landscaped yard, numerous coconut palms, and a stunning view of Puako Bay. From the home and lanai you can watch the sailboats moored in the bay, or turtles basking on the lava rocks in front.
The original A-frame home includes a full kitchen, living area and ocean view loft with Twin beds, or they can be converted to a King bed. A second bedroom just off the kitchen and nearby full bath has overhead skylights for moon and star gazing as you rest in the comfortable queen-sized bed. An addition to the home, added more recently, has a oceanfront dining and lounging lanai, plus a master bedroom with a California-king bed and a second cozy oceanfront deck for relaxing with a tall, cool beverage. An upstairs office is available for those who must work while on vacation. Office includes high-speed internet access and a desk.
This unique piece of paradise is one of the original Puako seaside homes located just steps away from snorkeling, kayaking and swimming right in front of the home!

Why Mary A. Fox R (B) Active chose Puako
It was love at first sight when we saw the house that became Hale Puako on our first trip to Hawai’i Island in 1965. Then it took us 13 years to check out possibilities on the other Islands, find the cash – and - the courage to buy! Hale Puako has been a joy to us, our family and friends since 1978. We hope you will enjoy our piece of paradise.

Absolutely Perfect Family Vacation
This house came recommended by a friend and it certainly did not disappoint. Amazing location on the beach, well outfitted with amenities, comfortable and casual (old school), and the service was outstanding. We would highly recommend this house and rental company - we will certainly be back!
Thank you for taking the time to write. We are so glad you enjoyed this little piece of paradise and look forward to having you back for a future visit. 2 Papayas, The Management
A piece of paradise. Fantastic destination for kids.
This was our first trip to Hawai'i and we feel very lucky to have found Hale Puako. We spent two fantastic weeks in this rental. The house was very clean and it had everything we needed to have a restful vacation. The kitchen was well stocked and we found all needed to cook meals. Having a grill on the deck made it easier to cook and enjoy meals outdoors. The closeness to the sea allows for the house to benefit from the ocean breeze, specially the attached master bedroom, and we could sleep well without AC. The location of the rental couldn't be better: right on a small cove with a sandy entry which made it very inviting for the kids (8 and 10) to snorkel and play by their own while parents either joined them or enjoy the sights from the deck. The place is very private and we felt we were the only people around. with the sea on one side and a very spacious green yard around, the house feels very private. The natural beauty of Puako Bay made this an excellent destination in itself: snorkeling in the bay is great and kid friendly, the turtles were frequent swimming partners and some came to have their 'siestas' right on the cove (the back yard of the house, incredible!). We explored different sections of it (the cove to the left of the boat ramp is like an aquarium). Hapuna beach, two miles away, is simply beautiful. If you are into running, you can run there early in the morning, go for a swim and run back to the house. It was heaven. You can explore the entire bay in low tide and have fun checking all the ponds. Sunsets are spectacular. Groceries are near by and you have options to chose from. Management was very professional and responsive to our needs and we were very satisfied with 2Papayas. We highly recommend this rental to other families.
Lovely week in Puako
Two couples stayed here for a week. Everything about the house was perfect for us -- plenty of space to spread out; a well-stocked kitchen; lovely views of the water. A two minute walk to a nice beach where access to the water is safe. A five minute walk to the store. Beds were comfortable. Very clean. Plenty of towels.
Idyllic location.
Great wraparound views, nice quiet street on the water with a nearly private beach area. The house is older but clean and well maintained. Responsive service from the nearby Two Papayas staff office. Highly recommended.
Heaven
A pre-honeymoon experience! Private and cozy with all the amenities that you could imagine. It felt like a second home. Both of us loved the authentic ambiance of the two adjoining A-frame houses that are both spacious and efficient. We were spoiled with the private access to the beach lagoon and swimming with the fish and turtles. The best location. Two Papayas was so friendly and terrific - we will return!
Rustic beach cottage
This rental has the most beautiful location in Hawaii. The wrap-around view is truly spectacular. But the description given by the manager is more realistic than I anticipated. It is rustic. Bathrooms are "old cottage vintage". I was unprepared for the mosquitoes which were particularly abundant during the sunset. And at this price point a gas BBQ would be expected. However - the pictures of the ocean front location are real - it is truly a fabulous location.
Location
Located on the Kohala Coast just minutes from casual and fine dining, golf, numerous beaches and shopping. Warm and sunny weather year-round with rainfall totals of about 9 inches a year.
