Puako

"We absolutely love this place! In 2009 we were lucky enough to rent this little apartment from Bud and Peg. We stayed one week and enjoyed every minute of it. We have been coming every year since then to stay longer and longer. In fact, next year we will be staying 7 weeks. That pretty much says it all. It's clean, comfortable, and has everything you need to make beautiful Hawaiian memories. Bud and Peg are great hosts and have become great friends. We are so thankful to have found this little piece of paradise."

"We were a group of 4 couples, and this was the perfect place to stay. The well-equipped kitchen and huge lanai made it easy to hang out as a group, and the detached bedrooms gave plenty of privacy and quiet places to retreat. You'll need water shoes for the beach, but there were several pairs on hand, along with a beach umbrella and a few beach chairs. The water behind the house has some great snorkeling, actually, with plenty of fish, urchins, and coral. We also snorkeled with sea turtles most every day. This house is very convenient to Hapuna Beach, which is a great swimming and laying out beach. It's also only about a half hour from Kona-Kailua for a greater variety of restaurants and entertainment."
