A separate 1b/1b Ohana unit allows for 2 more adults. The Ohana offers a king bed that faces the ocean with an attached bathroom and outdoor shower. Sip your coffee from the outdoor dining table while enjoying the expansive ocean view framed by palm trees. The water will invite you to jump in for a morning dip with the turtles and fish or stroll along the shoreline to explore the sandy/lava rock tidal pools.

Puako is a historic little oceanside community situated on the Kohala Coast between all the island's most popular white sand beaches and world class resorts. Hapuna Beach (one of the top rate white sand beaches in the world) is just a 5 minute drive away. Excellent shopping and dining are all within a 10 minute drive from the house.

You can take a short walk to the Puako General Store to get snacks and refreshments or cruise along the drive to the popular surf spot (in the Winter months) at the end of the road. 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 owners spend part of the year (generally between January-April) in the upstairs portion of the Ohana unit. They are a quiet, friendly couple that are available for quests questions and needs. However when they are there, they will respect your privacy and you will still have complete access to the outdoor areas of the property.
