This house was absolutely perfect for my Big Island vacation. Going to sleep each night to the sound of the waves crashing right outside my bedroom window and waking up to watch the turtles cruising around in the surf every morning was magical. The house is right next to Beach 69 and Hapuna beach, and the location is great for getting around the Kohala coast. I definitely hope I get to stay here again someday!

Great family vacation!

This house was fabulous. The location is perfect. It is an older home, and in pretty good shape. The doors and windows are unique, and we loved them, they let through all the fresh ocean air to cool off the house. Brooke is a great hostess and very communicative and flexible. I gave 4 stars on the cleanliness only because there were lots of bugs, but with as open as the house is, I doubt it could be any better than it was. You and your family will love staying here! Very peaceful.

Aussies in Pauko

We have just finished 10 days of family reunion This property allowed us (9 months to 72 year)to be together but separate when needed. The kitchen was very large and could cope with many cooks and all the equipment needed was in well labelled cupboards. There was also an expansive collection of non perishables..please check the panty before doing a grocery trip.Daily we played bingo …whales , turtles , dolphins, snorkeling or perhaps just exploring the rock poolsThe position was hypnotic with the reef and ocean in front. Our first night found us all sleepless as we listened to the waves but after that it became a very calming influence.We ended up not being as touristy as planned as it was just relaxing to stay put.No need to purchase reef shoes , snorkels etc as all is there, as per listing, and in good condition.This property is aptly named

Terrific Family House

We were a multi-generational group and this house was perfect for us; the small twin bedrooms are a little funky, but great for kids. The house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy Puako and the surrounding areas. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well-appointed kitchen, outdoor dining, tide pools, lap pool, and snorkeling, and great common areas for family time. Brooke was very communicative and responsive - getting a handyman onsite the next day when we had a (small) issue. Would stay here again! Thank you!

AMAZING Place in Paradise

Absolutely stunning! Our stay at this oceanfront house was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the crystal-clear ocean right from the lenai. The house itself is beautifully designed—spacious, clean, and equipped with every amenity you could possibly need. The open-concept living area flows seamlessly to the outdoor space, creating several cozy places to watch the amazing sunsets, enjoy the gentle sea breezes, and listen to the sounds of the ocean waves. The location is perfect for a tranquil getaway, yet still close enough to explore the local shops and restaurants. We used it as a home-base to explore the incredible beauty of the island. We were delighted to find historical sites nearby to visit, natural parks to explore and several beaches that were perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Brooke, the host, was incredibly accommodating and provided thoughtful touches throughout the property, making us feel right at home. If we had any questions, she was easy to contact and quick to respond. If you’re looking for a luxurious, serene escape with unparalleled ocean views, and a relaxing, homey feel, this is the place to be. We’re already planning our next visit! Highly recommend! 🌴🌊✨

A wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The outdoor space is truly spectacular with a large lawn, lap pool, and access to the ocean. Our multigenerational family all enjoyed watching the three turtles that live in front of the house and my husband and I loved the amazing snorkeling (just keep going out until you see the underwater caves). It was a good base for visiting the great nearby beaches. The house is well stocked and we honestly enjoyed eating at the house versus venturing out for dinner (although we did that too). Our favorite beaches were Beach 69 and the Mana Lani Beach.

Great location

I needed to find a place for my workers to stay while they were working on a project in Hawaii. Which is why I am so thankful I came across this property because it was absolutely perfect for our needs. Not only was it spacious enough for the entire crew to stay but it was minutes away from the job-site. It was also very clean and had tidy. The owners are also very nice. Keeping communication with them was never an issue. Lastly according to the guys the best part about the property was how close it was to the ocean. I think they took a swim every day after work. Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend this property if you're traveling with a larger group of people. You won't regret it.

Paradise by the Ocean

Puoko Beach was the perfect location for our family of 8 -- 5 adults and 3 kids. The house had ample room for indoor/outdoor living. We wpoke up with the sun, walked down to the water, and watching the tide come in. We saw people snorkeling and even scuba diving in these waters, but we chose to only wade in the tide pools because of rough waters. It was still amazing -- turtles came in the afternoon further down the beach. In the evening, we watched the sun from the lanai as it lit up the sky. The kids enjoyed the pool, which was chilly in December as expected, but the adults took full advantage of the hot tub. The rooms upstairs picked up nice breezes so that a/c wasn't missed. The house is built to harness those winds. As a big city resident, I enjoyed listening to the sounds of the ocean at bedtime rather than sirens and car alarms. The garage featured a broad variety of beach gear - boogie boards, snorkel masks and breathing tubes, coolers, chairs, sand toys and a beach umbrella. These were perfect for Beach 67 located nearby. Even during the peak Christmas rush, the beach was never particularly crowded. Being 30+ minutes from Kona is a feature of this house as it avoids some of the crushing crowds. However, we arranged two tours that launched immediately down the street.LightSUP paddleboarding at night was amazing and the Adventure X boat tour for snorkeling and whale watching was great. We were able to walk to both of them. We can't wait to return!

Perfect for our needs

We wanted a quite place on the beach to get married. It was just us, our minister, photographer, and personnel chef. Note: this is NOT a place for a larger wedding group or loud festivities. Brooke was awesome in her assistance and even recommended some of the services that we used. She is very gracious and responded immediately to our inquiries. This is a great location if you are going to split your time between the North Shore and Kailua. There is a food market within ten minutes and plenty of various dining venues at the neighboring resorts. The kitchen is very well equipped. There are plenty of beach toys and towels. Amazing sunsets!

From start up paper towels to a big supply of beach towels and everything you need for the beach. I can't even begin to have the words for the beautiful sunsets every evening! We were a family of 6 adults and 1 child flying in from Louisiana and there was plenty of room to spread out. This was a 5 star vacation and we hope to do it again!

I loved this stay. One of the nicest places I've ever stayed. Perfect for anyone that likes a quiet spot, the classic indoor/outdoor Hawaii style living, and the life aquatic. Place is as described. Host is easy to communicate with. There's no beach, but the snorkeling was world class. Turtles everywhere. Really fun underwater formations where the shallow lava bottom drops off to a deep area about 300 yards out. Even saw a huge manta ray.

Great Home Away From Home

This property was perfect for our 5 night stay on this side of the island. It was conveniently located off the highway close to some of the area resorts that we were able to visit for supplies and for activities and so close to Hapuna beach! If you are looking for a home with lots of space so you don't feel crowded and that provides everything you need to just show up and head to the beach, this is it! Host provides beach towels, beach bag, umbrella, beach chairs and snorkel gear galore, and the backyard even has extra water shoes for taking a stroll out to view the tide pool areas. There were also 4 bicycles available and we some of our family biked down to the Fairmont Orchid. Lots of cool little spots in this area that you have to "know about." Details are provided in the binder of the home when arriving. We saw others snorkeling right off the backyard of this neighborhood, but we couldn't quite get the hang of navigating all the lava rock unfortunately. Host was super responsive and quick when contacted and very easy to talk to. Sea Turtles basked on the rocks in this area and twice we saw spinner dolphins commuting across the ocean all with Maui in the distance. Very cool! The home is older and does have a retro vibe to it which is kind of cool, but would be nice if host would consider updating some features such as bathrooms and kitchen in the near future. Everything was still functionable, but again, just a bit dated. Overall really satisfied!
