Puako is a slow paced, friendly neighborhood perfect for families with kids and those seeking a casual experience with a hint of old Hawaii.
The owner spends part of the year in the upstairs portion of the Ohana unit. She is quiet and friendly and available for quests questions and needs. However when she is there, she will respect guests privacy and they will still have complete access to the outdoor areas of the property.
