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!
Book with confidence—this is a licensed, legal vacation rental managed by professionals with decades of local experience. Always double check that you are booking a place that is operating legally in Hawaii - no surprises, just aloha! TA-086-273-2288-01 STVR-19-357051 NUC-19-0896

We had an amazing stay at Moana Imaku—everything was absolutely perfect. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. One of our favorite parts was how close it was to the ocean. Being able to hear the waves all night long made it incredibly relaxing and peaceful. We truly loved our time here and would definitely stay again.
Beautiful location. Away from typical tourist locations. Peaceful. Easy access to many desired destinations. House comfortable and amenities for those who desire ADA accommodations. Will stay there again.

All in great condition. I still cannot figure out how to control the ceiling fans, but oh well, not a big factor in the whole scheme o' things.

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.

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.

Mahalo for your review, Kayla. We're so glad that you enjoyed your visit. It's true - open windows and fans are the best "AC" in our very mild climate. We hope you'll keep us in mind if your travels bring you back to our little corner of paradise!

We loved every minute of our stay at Moana Imaku! Before arrival, we had all the information to gain access to the property. The place was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The outside space is to die for. The park across the street is a great place to see the sunrise. When exiting the property, if you take the road around the curve, it is an amazing scenic drive! We would definitely rent this place again!

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.

The house was awesome. We had a wonderful time and it was a large house for the grandkids to play. The view on the lanai was incredible. The weather was hit and miss but overall great.
