The house was very nice and spacious. The location of the house is the best. I couldn't have found a better spot for my friends and family to have stayed. Will be back to same house again one day!

Our party included an extended family of 13 ranging from grandparents to grandkids. The house was a perfect fit with Hawaii style and comforts. We happen to be there when Hurricane LaLa was approaching and the host and his onsite overseer were proactive in communication. When the power went out that communication and care continued. If you’re going to be stuck due to bad weather, power outages, and closed state beaches, you can’t beat Puako. So many places to access snorkeling and sunsets. The house is a great location to discover Waikola, Kohala, and Kona. All in all, we’re grateful to our hosts for making sure we could enjoy the house safely and comfortably the whole time.

Great house! Great location! Perfect for our family of 12. Loved that we could pick fresh limes from the garden. The host and ohana were amazing and very responsive. They even went and got us baby gates so our 1-year-old could stay safe with the stairs. We highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Waimea! The house has plenty of room, making it perfect for families or groups. It was well-stocked with everything we needed during our trip — from kitchen essentials to beach gear, which made things super convenient.The location is fantastic — just a short walk across the road to the ocean, where we were able to catch a glimpse of the resting sea turtles. It’s also just a quick drive to Hapuna Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.Overall, it’s a peaceful and comfortable place to stay with a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure nearby. We’d definitely come back!

The Best Rental Around

Wow, what an amazing house! The rooms were spacious and easily accommodated our large family. Beautiful sunshine poured into the house which made coffee in the morning and drinks in the evenings on the many lanai's very enjoyable. The back yard was peaceful and full of song birds, but what I loved most was being able to walk to the ocean in under a minute! This is definitely the nicest place we have stayed on the island and would definitely stay here again.

Kitchen was fully stocked with most condiments, some seasonings and had all utensils required to confidently cook for a large group of people.Balconies could use some cleaning for comfortable sitting and use.Having baby gates available for use was very appreciated.Lower floor of home had a strong odor that may make it challenging for some to sleep. However, beds were comfortable and plenty of room for large groups of people.

My wife is a physician and I am a civil engineer. We have 3 daughters, keeps us on our toes. We are from the Midwest born and raised and love to travel, and of course Hawaii is Paradise!

Why they chose this property

Puako is the best kept secret in all of Hawai'i! Once you come here, you will appreciate the quiet and tranquility with awesome walks along the shore and access to the worlds best beaches

What makes this property unique

This house has an awesome location, 3 stories and nearly 4,000 square feet of living area. Ocean sounds and views. There are FIVE (5) lanais. The best part? The beach-shore is across the street, less than a minute walk. Backyard is peaceful and private with views of mountains, bird calls. There are no houses or streets behind you, total peace. Visiting Paradise is expensive, and being able to share paradise with your family & family in a house that can sleep 16+helps with the lodging expense. This isn't just a house that can sleep a lot of people, it is luxury upgrades everywhere: dual staircases, 5 lanais, African mahogany cabinets, mango wood and tile flooring, reverse osmosis water filtration, 6 splits for complete air conditioning. This house is Awesome!
