This is our third time staying at the Hula Moon. As soon as you enter you are greeted with an unbelievable view of the ocean, we saw whales and turtles everyday during our 2 week visit. There is plenty of space for everyone to gather as well as having individual privacy. I can’t wait to plan our next visit..I miss the sound of the ocean lulling me to sleep each night. Thank you Gail and Niki for another amazing family vacation.

We Do Not Recommend This Property for Families with Children
We’ve rented over 50 luxury vacation homes, and this is the first negative review I’ve ever written. I felt obligated to warn other families.Despite the positive reviews, our experience was very different. If you are traveling with children, I strongly recommend avoiding this house.Doors leading to the pool can’t be locked from inside — we had to block them with furniture to protect our kids. The upstairs loft has a built-in desk easy for kids to climb, creating a 14-foot fall risk.We were told not to roll suitcases, warned to keep windows shut due to homeless concerns (despite no AC and hot temps), and signs everywhere told us not to touch anything — it felt like staying in a museum, not a vacation home.We received a call warning us about kids playing “too loudly” in the pool, and signs banned games like Marco Polo because it “drives everyone crazy.” Our kids were simply having normal, daytime fun.There’s no usable beach — the shoreline is rocky and unsafe for barefoot play.A neighbor aggressively yelled at a young female in our group over temporary roadside parking.We left the house spotless (confirmed by the property manager), yet were unfairly accused of causing damage — what was shown were tiny marks consistent with normal use.Other surprises: poop in the pool on arrival, wild boars roaming the yard, and no basic toiletries like shampoo.This was by far the least welcoming experience we've ever had.We do not recommend this property for families.

Beachfront serenity
The Home of the Hula Moon was a beautiful place to relax, enjoying the ocean views, scents, and sounds. We saw basking sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and even a whale spout from the lanai. The neighborhood was quiet. The pool area was secluded with gorgeous landscaping and the pool was a perfect temperature for cooling off.The home is spacious, comfortable, immaculately clean, and the artwork was an unexpected bonus. The family had plenty of room and the showers were superb. The owner and concierge were quick to answer questions and to make recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Overall, it was the best VRBO experience the family has had, and we hope to return!

Turtle Heaven
My family and I had a wonderful time, and we already want to go back. We went snorkeling almost every day, took sunset walks (saw eagle rays and squid), swam in the pool, ate outside. The weather was perfect (Thanksgiving).and the house lacked for nothing (extra refrigerators came in handy). The hosts took very good care of us - giving us tips and making sure everything was OK. Each night we had about 6 or 7 turtles right in front of the house on a rock.

Great property for our group. The pool was great to have. Turtles everywhere on the beach, rocks and when snorkeling out front. Quiet neighborhood. Great snorkeling out front and down the road where paid tours go…. Everything we needed for cooking meals and nice to have a spare fridge for all our drinks. All communications were great! Highly recommend!!

Premium accomodations
Well appointed kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor living spaces and extras (coolers, beach bags, beach chairs, beach towels) that made the vacation extra relaxing. The home comfortably suited our family of 10 with beds for 4 children and 3 large bedrooms, walk in closets, outdoor rain showers for 3 couples. The home is expertly decorated and furnished with quality seating and conversation areas. A truly beautiful home.

Beautiful Puako house on the ocean
Hula Moon is a wonderful house for a family of 10! The location, close to the ocean with a beautiful large lawn and deck, is perfect! There is exceptional art work all around the house. Everything is quality -- high end kitchen (+ 3 refrigerators!) with plentiful supplies -- sitting areas everywhere and a wrap around upstairs deck. All the rooms have a direct view of the ocean and sunsets.

This is our second time vacationing at the Hula Moon and as soon as we returned home we booked it again for next year. The home is absolutely gorgeous with incredible views. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with everything you could possibly need to cook with. Our favorite pastime was relaxing on the beautiful lanai. Thank you Gail and Nikki for another wonderful vacation!

Amazing home!
We had a great stay with nine of us! Plenty of room! The home has everything you need to cook with! The beach is great early in the morning to walk out and see sea turtles! (The beach isn’t friendly for swimming or playing in the sand since it’s lava rock, Which the listing does say). There’s a really nice beach five minutes away that’s secluded and beautiful! The sunsets and sunrise are beautiful! This home is made for relaxing! The pool was so fun for the kids! I would recommend this house for anyone that wants a high end home on the beach.
Also, side note no shampoo and conditioner (which the listing says) but I didn’t notice so be sure to stop at the store before arriving!

Another Magical Stay at Home of the Hula Moon
This is our family’s second stay at this gorgeous home, and this trip was just as magical as the first. The home itself is impeccable, beautifully decorated, comfortable and stocked with everything you could need. The location is one of a kind. We had perfect weather and were lucky enough to see awesome whale activity right from the back patio, all week long. The kids and adults alike spent hours walking along the shoreline and we saw so much beautiful wildlife. The sea turtles abound right outside! Gail and Niki are communicative and organized; amazing hosts of an incredible property. We can’t wait to return!

Best week ever
If I could give this home a 20 star review, I would! From the moment we booked with Gail it was great! She was considerate and helpful with information and emails. We had looked and considered many homes and condos and wow did we make the right choice!! Nikki met us when we arrived and was available anytime we needed information. Everything you might need while staying at this home is pretty much there. The kitchen is stocked with all the equipment you need, there was an abundance of towels and linens, the furniture and bedding was comfortable, I could just go on and on. Pool and sand toys, coolers and sand chairs were there for our use. As for location, it is perfect!! The courtyard pool is wonderful and located at the front of the house, nestled in a beautiful garden oasis. Open expansive back sliding doors onto a huge back lanai with a dining area and an outdoor living room area. There is a very nice back yard for playing games or just enjoying the sunshine and ocean view. Every day we watched whales swimming and splashing and many turtles swimming or sunning on the rocks. Our family had the BEST WEEK EVER in this home and would recommend it to everyone! Thank you Gail and Nikki for everything!!

McClure family trip
The hula moon house was everything we hoped it would be. The house is located right on the water and we were greeted daily by large sea turtles swimming in the water or on the beach. The patio was our favorite place to have our meals, play cards or board games while overlooking the yard and beach where the kids hung out. The bedrooms were large and beds comfortable. The property manager was excellent. She greeted us, gave us a tour and answered any questions we had during our stay immediately. This is definitely a place where we would consider staying again

Amazing house, excellent host / service
This is a beautiful property, located right on the water with its own private beach.
Went to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint.
Incredibly comfortable, spacious, has everything we needed.
Kids really enjoyed the pool, fully stocked with toys.
Great supplies in house - used chairs and cooler for a beach day.
Niki, the concierge checked in daily and Gail the host was lovely.
Zero complaints. I highly recommend booking this and we hope to be back.

We have never stayed at a more beautiful home in such a truly spectacular location. Being right on the ocean, watching the sunsets, surrounded by lovely landscaping, the scent of plumeria and jasmine, the sound of the birds and the waves - such a gift! And the house is amazing, beautiful views, huge rooms, great decor and art, comfortable furniture, gorgeous rugs, huge lanai, the coolest showers ever! And everything you could possibly need for barbecuing or cooking or trips to the beach. Gail was so helpful and accommodating and Niki was there for us whenever we had a need or question. 10 stars!

Another amazing visit
This was our second stay at this lovely home and we can't wait for our third. The location in Puako is just what we like - remote but close enough. The general store on the road has everything you might need, the Hapuna beach is only a mile or two down the road and one of the best on the island, the fresh doughnut maker is just off the highway, it is 30 minutes to Kona and 30 minutes to Hawi so you get the best of both varieties of Hawaii. The house is impossibly lovely - I'm not sure I could allow others in it if it were mine. It is exactly as described, could not be more spacious or elegant or well equipped. The support from Nik is incredible should you have any little issue to deal with. I can't recommend enough and our family can't wait to go back.

Paradise in Puako
I’d say Hula Moon is as beautiful as shown on VRBO, but is far more beautiful than displayed. Our adult children and partners were blown away on seeing it for the first time. Everything you need for an incredible week is provided by Gail, the owner. Nikki our manager, was extremely helpful, providing us with information on food shopping, aquatic equipment rental, restaurants, farmers’ markets, and beaches before we arrived via text and phone and during our visit. She was a joy to work with! All in all our experience was first rate and the first of what we hope will be more to come.

I came to Puako 30 years ago and the community retains its laid-back friendly atmosphere. There is something magical about the Big Island and if you spend a little while in Puako you will feel the 'mana' and aloha spirit of this special location.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
This is a beautiful home. Every bedroom and living space has a fabulous ocean view and we have excellent cross ventilation throughout. The pool area is protected so it is warm and sunny. We are NOT located near a public beach access so our house is very private and more protected than homes built on a beach access.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Puako has the finest sunny and dry climate year round. The reef is full of fish and sea turtles rest in front of our house almost daily.
Our home was built so that every bedroom has a gorgeous ocean view. The home is perfect for a generational family or a few friends. There is almost 7000 sq. ft. of indoor/outdoor living so you can always find a private place to relax. We enjoy year-round sunsets and quiet friendly neighbors.
We swim in front of the house with manta rays, and dolphins, and buy fresh fish directly from the fishermen at the nearby harbor. We get freshly baked bread and organic produce at the Waimea farmers' market and buy orchid plants and fresh papayas from a woman down the road. The Huli Huli BBQ truck on the weekends is the best and it is located up the hill in Waimea.
THE HOME OF THE HULA MOON will be your own private paradise during your visit to the Big Island. Join our ohana of happy guests.
