About this property
Puako Condo 205 ~ 3 BR ~ Renovated ~ Pool
Summary:
Right across the street from sandy beach! Puako Bay with lots of beach front to walk and play on.
The Space:
FOR STAYS THROUGH OCTOBER 2025, THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT CONSTRUCTION OCCURRING NEAR YOUR VACATION RENTAL. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
Please note, effective Jan 1st. 2026, Hawaii's Transient Accommodations Tax will increase from 10.25% to 11% for all stays with an arrival in 2026 forward. We may need to collect the tax difference to secure and finalize your booking. We will contact you to confirm the adjusted amount.
This floor may be accessed by shared elevator or an open air stair case and the front door is accessed from the outside via an open air walkway minimizing your contact with others.
We were totally amazed at the beautiful touches and design elements selected by the owner and our interior designers. This show-case 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Puako on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island is filled with quality furniture and crafted pieces, authenic Pacific Art work. The Puako condos are located directly across the street from the ocean in the only condominium complex in this charming residential beach neighborhood. This unit comes with air conditioning and has ceiling fans. It is a 4 story building with an elevator and two swimming pools, one of which is a wading pool for children. The on-site residential manager personally oversees the tropical grounds and pool which are very well cared for. Puako is the sunniest place in the state with little rain each year. This oceanfront community is nestled between Mauna Kea Beach Resort and Mauna Lani Resort on the Kohala Coast.
Feel the ocean breezes in your living room and master bedroom of this comfortable 2nd floor unit. This condo has been tastefully upgraded including new kitchen and bathrooms. Stay cool with tile flooring in the living room and kitchen and wood floors in bedroom. The condo has views of the two pools, partial Puako Bay, and the Kohala mountains. There is 1 King bedroom, 1 Queen bedroom and a 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds. Full Kitchen, wireless internet, AC in the living room and masterbedroom with ceiling fans in the there rooms, washer and dryer, and an assigned parking space. The Puako General Store - a small, grocery/liquor store is located next door. Two of the island’s largest and nicest white-sand beaches, Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea Beach, are also located very close by. Welcome to paradise!
Guests can relax at the property pool and indulge in a BBQ grill for a prefect island retreat.
PLEASE NOTE: This unit has ONE dedicated parking stall. Please consider renting a larger vehicle to accommodate all of your party. There is NO street parking allowed for vacation rentals according to local regulations. A secondary parking stall within the designating building parking lot MAY be an option but cannot be guaranteed for the duration of your stay or designated until shortly before your arrival. IF and as available, the additional parking stall within the designating building parking lot will be assessed an additional, daily fee. Please inquire directly, shortly before your arrival, for further information and potential availability.
Please keep in mind that Guest is in a very small and peaceful residential neighborhood. Noise carries over quiet landscapes and near water. IBR asks that Guest and Guest’s children respect Property neighbors' privacy, peace and quiet between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Please refrain from using the lanais for conversations or viewing devices during quiet hours.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full use and access to condo and grounds. The pool deck and public BBQ area is shared with other persons in building.
The Neighborhood:
Puako is still the only ocean front residential community along the Gold Coast/Kohala Coast of the Big Island nestled between the Mauna Lani Resort, Fairmont Orchid and Mauna Kea/Hapuna Resorts. Hapuna Beach State Park has earned the reputation of being one of Hawaii Island's finest beaches. It is the largest White Sands Beach on The Big Island and consistently rates on Top Ten lists internationally. Hapuna Beach offers some wonderful opportunities for swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, sunbathing and snorkeling and is just a mile from Puako. You can even drive the back road to Hapuna Beach and not get on the Highway. Local shore fisherman can be seen daily enjoying the great reef fishing. Puako Beach Drive has no through access which keeps it virtually still undiscovered by many.
There are six separate "beach" accesses along this stretch of beach. Although there is not a tremendous amount of sand, there are tide pools and the extensive protected reef is remarkable. During low tide, small pools dot the entire coastline and these pools are filled with small sea life that make excellent areas to explore for all ages. If you enjoy shore diving, kayaking and snorkeling you can find a spot along this stretch of shoreline to enter the water. Offshore the reef is home to a wide variety of fish and many days you will see dolphins playing right from the shore. Enjoy the Whales who return each year to mate and give birth in the tropical warm waters during the winter months.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended for getting around the area and enjoying all that Hawaii Island has on offer.
Interaction with Guests:
We like to say hello in person, but keep to ourselves otherwise. We are a professional management company and are available to assist you at any time during your stay.
