About the host
Hosted by Nancy and Greg Gillette
The Gillette family has lived in Hawaii for generations and are active in the sailing community. Greg and I, as well as our 2 adult children, Isaac and Lea, were born and raised on Oahu. We moved to Holualoa on the Big Island in 1992 and have a small coffee farm and cattle ranch on the slopes of Hualalai.
Why they chose this property
Our Puako Beach house is unique to the Puako community. The house reflects the casual elegance and island lifestyle that we have known all our lives as "kama'aina" - people born and raised in Hawaii. Island décor and furnishings combined with fabulous views and the sound of the ocean produce a relaxed and carefree ambiance. The house has an open airy floor plan with wrap around covered decks. It has custom locally produced coconut floors and gorgeous hardwood detailing throughout.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the near perfect climate year round, and the pacific ocean only footsteps away. Wether it is surfing and diving you are after or just relaxing in the sun, this house will provide the experience you are looking for. It's location is also a perfect starting point for other adventures here on the Big Island of Hawaii.
