We had a wonderful relaxing time at this property! The home was clean, comfortable and quiet. The sunsets were amazing as was the yard and rather private beach area.The little market (Puako Store) was handy and helpful with whale watching and snorkeling tours.The only thing I would recommend is a better AC system—the remote didn’t work on the unit and you can only have AC in one bedroom.

Beautiful Home on The Beach
This was the most wonderful, peaceful, relaxing vacation ever!
The home was clean, very nicely decorated and no need to really drive anywhere. Beach outside the gate with snorkeling, turtles and no crowds…actually no people at all😊. Sunsets were absolutely amazing.
Highly recommend this home!

Wonderful stay on the ocean
We loved our stay here. We don’t like the hotel scene so this place is well equipped for cooking and enjoying the local culture and area or just hanging out. The location is perfect. We would definitely come again!

Puako Beach Drive
This was our first stay on the Big Island, but won't be our last. After a week at a resort, we moved to Cindy's wonderful property for a second, even more relaxing week. Everything was great. The perfect base from which to easily get to a variety of fantastic beaches and explore the Kohala coast.

Down a residential road on the water, a beautiful setting, very well maintained property! Right on the ocean, basking turtles and whale watching during season. Walking distance to Hapuna Beach. An absolute gem of a property, great for 2 to 4 people.

Sunsets and sea turtles
Gorgeous location. Quiet. Private. Directly on the water. Visited every evening by three sea turtles a few hours before sunset. General Store just down the street with incredible sandwiches for your daily adventures. Only big criticism, claiming AC is stretching the truth. There is a tiny unit in one bedroom. And it can only cool that one bedroom. It was quite hot and humid during our stay and that wasn’t pleasant.

Hidden gem by the sea
We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage by the sea! How lucky we are to have found this place. Inside and outside the property, everything was pristine. How lush and peaceful the property grounds. The view of the stars at night in the garden facing the ocean,..a perfect stay in paradise. I highly recommend to everybody looking for some quiet time and a slice of heaven. Our host was so friendly and pleasant, willing to accommodate our inquiries/ requests here and there. Thank you for a memorable and wonderful time! We will keep this place in mind for future visits to the big island.

Best Hawaiian Memories
Our stay at Puako was one of the most memorable experiences we have had on any of our more than 20 visits to the Hawaiian islands. Wandering the tide pools on the beach in front of the house, snorkeling some of the most special water we have seen right out in front of the place. Watching turtles come out of the water for a little sun. Watching whales and dolphins playing right off the beach. Hearing the whales while snorkeling. Simply relaxing and enjoying the beach was absolutely wonderful.
There were occasions during our 9 day stay when the waves were coming in a little too high to allow for a reasonably safe entry, in front of the place, but just down the road a little way, near the Church, was a wonderfully protected place to enter the water.
The wifi was sufficient such that I was able to conduct a little business from the lanai.
The view from each of the rooms great, the only knock I have was that I had to spend about an hour cleaning the windows to fully take advantage of the great views.

Wonderful stay
My wife and I stayed at this home in July to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. This cute home is steps away from the ocean and loaded with everything you need for a quiet getaway. The location is spectacular and close to everything you need - restaurants, beaches, groceries, activities, ect. Turtles are right out front. Wild turkey's came to visit. The furniture indoors and out is in great shape as are the appliances. The bed was very comfortable. The A/C was fully functional. We only used it for a few hours during the hottest part of the day because the sea breezes kept the house comfortable most of the day. We can't wait to come back again!

This beautiful cottage exceeded our expectations
This wonderful cottage exceeded our expectations. It was such a treasure that we stayed "home" to enjoy the relaxation and beauty as opposed to sightseeing other parts of the island. Every night the sunsets were spectacular. Snorkeling with the turtles just off the reef in front of the house was incredible. Swimming at 69 Beach was always perfect and protected even when the wind was high elsewhere. Being able to walk down to the Puako General Store for supplies and partake of some of their locally made "take and bake" meals was a delightful surprise. (When we wanted to go out for dinner, there were plenty of choices in the hotel/shopping complexes just a few minutes away. )The outdoor shower was a wonderfully refreshing treat in the evenings after a day in the salt water. The beds were extremely comfortable and the simple country elegance of the home made it a delight to experience. I really cannot say enough about the joy of staying in this VRBO. Thank you, Cindy, for putting this all together and sharing it.

Great Beach House
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Hale Alaula from July 2 to July 9. This is a wonderful home right on the water. We couldn't have been more pleased with this updated, clean and well-equipped home, the setting, and the yard. There are sliding glass doors along the back of the house so that you have an ocean view from each room. The home has all the conveniences and it is nicely furnished and very comfortable. There is comfy patio furniture too and a table and chairs outside. TV, wifi, washer and dryer are all up to date and easy to use. The neighborhood of Puako is lovely and quiet. There is a market with all the essentials and more just a short walk down the street. You can wake up in the morning, grab your snorkel gear, walk a couple houses down along the beach and enter the water safely. In fact the snorkel boats came by almost everyday and anchor nearby because the snorkeling is so good along Puako! We saw lots of turtles who like to come in near the shore to sleep in the sun. The home is surrounded by a spacious yard that is well maintained. Everyday, a pair of wild turkeys and their offspring would wander through the yard. We were there over the 4th of July and could see the fireworks from the beach in front of the house, that seemed to be not far from Kawaihae which was nearby to the north of the property. My husband thinks Hale Alaula is the ideal location for visitors that has the best weather and many, many opportunities for adventure. Great places to visit by car are Hapuna State Beach, Kailua, Weimea and the Parker Ranch headquarters, Green Sand Beach and there's much more on the big Island. But, staying home and watching the sunset from the patio is fantastic. We loved coming back after a day of activity to the peace and comfort of this lovely home. We've recommended this home to our adult children and we would definitely come back.

Amazing place with great location
We are a scuba-diving family and love to dive right off the shore. This lovely beach house suits us perfectly. It has a great layout, is well-furnished and comfortable. We love exploring the reef, counting the turtles and watching the sunsets on the beach. The owner is very easy to contact and quickly responds. Definitely a slice of paradise!

Great location right on the water (Puako Reef) with a little sandy beach and a hammock plus large yard and lanai for outdoor living. House was very comfortable and well appointed. Looking at other nearby comparable properties, we thought this one was a very good value. We hope to return someday.

Heavenly place
We so enjoyed this home. Turtles visited us every day, a couple of cattle egrets patrolled the front yard, and we even had a band of wild turkeys wander through. The space is well laid out and the louvered windows were perfect at keeping the house very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the patio, which had several seating areas, unusual for a house of this size. The owners clearly care about guests' experience. We hope to return soon!

We really enjoyed this house. The location was perfect, close to some sandy beaches and the beach in front of the house was a great place to explore. Close to Kona if you want to venture there. There are some really nice restaurants and shopping just minutes away. We loved the hammock and the outdoor shower ! We saw a flock of wild turkeys walk through the back yard ! Also the house has everything you need,

オーナーについて
オーナー : Cindy Kay Anderson
I've owned this cottage for 8 years. I have been traveling to Hawaii since 1965 and I became very attached to the Big Island of Hawaii. I grew up by the ocean and because I'm comfortable by the water it's a place I would like to spend a lot of time in the future. In the meantime, I live in Denver, Colorado and have a boy, 22 who is a senior in college and a daughter, 25 who is a Nasa engineer at JPL in Los Angeles, California.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
I bought this property because I love the ocean and love being by and in the water. I love to scuba dive, snorkel and just sit and watch the sunsets.
この宿泊施設の特徴
In the evening you can watch the sunsets and every sunset is different and unique. Sometimes the whole sky lights up with oranges, lavenders, yellows and purples especially after a rain. The ocean is constantly changing as the storms move in and out. Sometimes it's so rough you will want to stay away and sometimes it's so smooth it will remind you of a lake and you will want to jump in and swim with the turtles.
