About this property

Moana Imaku - Ocean View Home w/ ADA Features

Aloha and Welcome to Moana Imaku! Come and enjoy your Hawaiian getaway in a lovely, spacious, light filled home all your own. In creating this vacation home it was important for the owner to build a place that could be enjoyed by all, including the differently abled. This home is wheel chair accessible from the entry ramp to the wide doorways and easy-access showers in both bathrooms. There are lots of extra features for those with special needs. Everyone in your group will love the ocean view lanai a block from the ocean... and you may meet the neighborhood hen, Henrietta, who often leaves a freshly laid egg for guests on a chair cushion!

When you enter this hale you will notice the lovely tropical furnishings and décor, shiny African mahogany floors, large fully equipped gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances, and dining area. Not to mention the newly furnished and comfortable lanai with 2 loveseats, 2 chairs and a dining table that sits 4. The spacious living room includes a Smart TV and plenty of seating area.

The bedrooms consist of a four poster queen size bed in the master bedroom with its own master bathroom. First guest room has two single beds and second guest room has one queen size bed. Guest bathroom is conveniently located between both bedrooms.
Moana Imaku also features indoor laundry room with front load washer & dryer, and a 400 square foot lanai where you can enjoy outdoor dining and take in your ocean views.
This hale is located on the beautiful Puna coast a block from the ocean and the beautiful ocean park, bringing you our island sunshine and trade breezes on the sunrise side of the island.
We hope that when you come to Moana Imaku that you will find the tranquility and harmony of these beautiful islands. NOTE: there is no beach access in the neighborhood as the ocean cliffs are more than 20 feet high - breathtaking for photographers and other nature lovers!


This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Loved being in this wonderful home.

There were 4 of us loving sitting on the lanai rain or shine listening to the coquis at night. I cannot imagine a more welcoming, comfortable or charming place to stay. I will be back if I can.

Idyllic Location and Lovely Home

We especially enjoyed all the fans in every room and the nice large lanai, where we had breakfast every morning looking at the view of the ocean. This is a very spacious property and had lots of room for the three of us. There were plenty of windows to open when we returned after a day of touring around, which helped to dissipate the heat.

Wonderful property

Very clean, spacious and overall comfortable. Bed in master bedroom could do with replacing but other queen very comfortable. Despite no AC, house cooled off well at night. Favourite part was covered lanai. Kept us dry even when it rained. Would have liked a few more garbage/recycling bags to useIt is a drive to the drier west coast beaches but convenient for Volcano National Park & Black and Green Sand beaches. Shopping at Pahoa convenient. I’d highly recommend Kaleo’s if looking for a place to eat.

Exceeded expectations. We wanted to stay on this side of the island to be farther from the Kona side and tourists. Location was fantasti. Ocean viewable from the house and lanai. Darker in area so star werw spectator. Kitchen and house well stocked with most basics needed. No AC but ceiling fans throughout and windows provide nice breezes Would definitely recommend and stay again! Communication was excellent

Pāhoa, HI

The property is near the ocean. Great view from the lānai. At night the house was warm and the flooring was slippery and damp. The ceiling fans were a nice option to try and cool the house down. The house was clean and there was plenty of space. Check-in and out was easy.

Lovely home, horrible stay

Lovely, spacious home, was well done - BUT - has had damage that hasn't been repaired. No air conditioner was a deal breaker. Although it cooled off outside at night, the lack of breeze left the house so hot we didn't rest well, and the home sits on a main street leaving multiple parks and there was traffic all day and most of the night and the cars accelerating up the hill, along with the birds singing all night, then chickens in the morning, with the windows open, made for much interrupted rest. Best part was the lanai which was lovely, but the grill was filthy before we cleaned it.The other icky things are something smelling rotten in the main bedroom closet and the dishwasher malfunctioning. We started the dishwasher when we left one morning and returned to a not draining fault code. Removed the filter and pulled out hair and shards of glass, then washed off the greasy residue. This did not clear the fault so moved downstream and disconnected the dishwasher drain hose and removed more shards of glass and a woody stick from the dishwasher drain line. That fixed the problem. To their credit we did not notify the manager but do you think they would call a plumber/maintenance in on Sunday night for a dishwasher?Last concern is the bedroom lights had pull chains to control lights and fan speed. Someone using a wheelchair would not be able to reach the light control chain. Some rooms had fan/light control remotes but not all.

The location is perfect if you want a quiet, peaceful vacation. Shopping and restaurants are a 15 minute drive. The Lanai was a gem!!! I appreciated all of the amenities for handicapped visitor, with easy access to the house (ramp) and the shower.

Sunrise in hawaii

We had a wonderful stay at Moana Imaku. Everything was as advertised but the furniture on the lanai is getting a bit weathered. That being said we did spend most of our time out on that lanai staring at the ocean and enjoying the sounds of the neighborhood. I was up early every morning to see a beautiful sunrise over the ocean. The location was great, from there we drove around the island. The kitchen is extremely well set up and made cooking from home easy. Would definitely go again.
