We had such an enjoyable time at this location. The beach was steps away plus the kids could also enjoy the pool when we were at the house. We had everything possible that was necessary for a great family vacation.
Great access to beach. Good snorkeling. Pool was great. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved the outdoor eating spaces. Location to other beaches and activities was excellent.

We booked this for 6 adults and 3 children. It was awesome! We loved being so close to the beach that we could swim in the pool then head to the beach and vice versa. The house itself was gorgeous. The airway living spaces takes some getting used to on the hotter months, but it was really cool and we totally could enjoy outdoor/indoor living. The staff was incredibly kind and the house was totally set up especially for babies/young kids. We had an awesome week wouldn’t change a thing!
Wonderful place and great stay. Loved the extras like beach chairs, sand toys, beach umbrellas We would come back if we stay in the big island again

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your time on island and the home's amenities. We would love to have you back if future travel brings you to the area.
The house was perfect in every way. Beautiful pool & lanai, wonderful views, short walk to a lovely beach. The house had everything you could ask for and the manager was extremely responsive and helpful.

We have been returning to Hale Wailani yearly for about 12 years. It is fabulous, gorgeous views, spectacular home, extremely well-maintained and managed. We can't say enough good about it.
House was clean and inviting - it is also gorgeous. Mary from 2 Papayas had opened up the house and turned on the a/c in the bedrooms so that the house was prepared for our arrival. She also left us a very nice welcome basket. It is a very short walk down to the nice and mostly quiet beach. House is well equipped with beach chairs and beach towels. When we were done with the beach, we enjoyed the large shaded lanais and pool. We will definitely rent from Mary at 2 Papayas again!
The house was well-stocked and roomy. We very much enjoyed the pool and lanai. The views were breathtaking. We also appreciated the use of pool toys.
I would definitely recommend this property for families

Second time a charm!
A very comfortable house nicely organized with all the amenities we could need. There was even a special play area for kids. We played every day in the pool and walked the short distance to the special beach. Great communication and support from Mary!

So glad to hear that you all enjoyed the home, pool and beach. Would love to have you back for any future trips to the area.
Our family of 10 enjoyed a week at Puako and were so sad to leave. The house had everything we needed, as well as a pool that the kids loved and a small beach with great snorkeling. Larger beaches were within a short driving distance.
The house is comfortable but not fussy and Mary the property manager was so great with communication. We hope to be back!

This is our favorite escape from Portland. It was the first time we had gone in the summer and it was at least as beautiful as Jan.-Feb. The place is superb, great design, great views. Mary at 2 Papayas and her staff are the best. We can't recommend this place any higher!

My party of 8 had a wonderful stay in this house. It is largely open to the garden and pool with a lanai and an large upper balcony overlooking the water. We spent mornings enjoying coffee on the upper patio off the bedrooms and TV room. The house is well stocked with basics in the kitchen including condiments and spices. The host was very helpful with a few small issues we had. The location is perfect for exploring the many wonderful beaches in the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our entire family loved Hale Wailani. It's a fabulous home. Air conditioned bedrooms enhanced our stay. Pool was perfect for dips in the afternoon and evening. Home was spotless upon arrival. Having a nice sand beach within a few minutes walk really made the grandkids happy. At one point our granddaughter while sitting on the beach asked "Is this dream?"Great snorkel sites within an easy drive from the home. Fantastic vacation in an awesome home. We'll be back in two years.
The house was perfect for our family!! The layout of the house was great. We had 3 couples and then 3 young ladies, so the 3 king size bedrooms and fourth bedroom with 3 beds was just right. Having 3 bathrooms was handy. The 2 living areas gave us plenty of room to hang out without being on top of one another. We did cook several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed for our meals. Having the outside cooker was great to have as well. We used the pool EVERY DAY and having the beach so close was very nice. It is just short easy walk down to enjoy a sunrise or sunset or to carry your gear down to spend the afternoon sitting on the beach. The only thing I would say negative was that only the bedrooms were air conditioned, but with opening the windows and getting the cross breezes, the house stayed reasonably cool at the hottest part of the day. However this was not enough of a deterrent for us not to consider a return. We are looking at possibly rebooking for next year if our schedules can work out. Very happy with our stay!!
