We really really enjoyed our stay at the Hale Ama. It was a special treat to celebrate my wife's 50th. The views and sunsets are spectacular. The home was lovely, with beautiful furniture, plenty of amenities, and a great size for my family and in-laws. The large deck was a favorite spot perfect for morning coffee and fresh malasadas from up the road. It also was pretty great for afternoon naps after the days adventure. And my girls loved exploring the tide pools discovering all kinds of fish, turtles, eels, and large undamaged seashells. Joe was easy to work with and the local manager Holly took good care of us. Only downside was that we had to leave. Can't wait to return!

We were here for a destination wedding and took our 20 something adult children along with a girlfriend and friend. The house was fabulous. Great location and Holly, the contact, was available 24/7 with quick communication and sincerity. Would definitely rent this home again!

To give our visit 20 out of 10 stars would be an understatement. Our rave review is that big and truly sincere.
The house is beautiful. She took our breath away from the moment we met the buddha in the driveway. Entering the front door we gasped - view, warm wood and colors, inviting chairs, wonderfully stocked kitchen. The pictures do not do the experience justice!
What really touched us though - and each of the 5 of us felt it - was the way that this house feels loved. It feels a house designed for humans to be happy in, to be well held in, to find nooks to read in, areas in which to connect. . . It also is a HOME that holds you well when your world falls apart.
Two unimaginable griefs visited our group while we were there. We had noticed the love and care in this house, the attention to detail, but it wasn't 'til the unimaginable visited that we truly felt how well she held us. This is no property fixed up for rental. There is a soul that lives in her and we are deeply grateful to her and those who care for her so well.
Thank you, thank you. . .

There were 6 of us and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and we all had plenty of room. The kitchen is perfect for cooking a meal, which we did many times, and the dining area is roomy too. The sunsets in Puako are incredible - the colors and the contrast. There were sea turtle in back of the house and the water was warm too! It was a perfect break! We will be back!

Just as pictured! Well stocked and equipped. Had a couple issues that were taken care of. Great host! ONLY complaint…why such a difficult stove top 😂. Only a couple people in the group of 8 could properly work it!

If you're looking for a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the spirit of the islands, Hale Ama will meet your needs perfectly. Warm breezes, gentle surf, turtles, whales, and dolphins passing the lanai, while world class snorkeling awaits you just beyond your backyard. Each night we enjoyed our evening meal oceanside just before catching another Hawaiian sunset and then retiring for another comfortable, quiet night's sleep. Kayaking is available, along with shoreline hikes, easy access to beautiful beaches, scuba diving, etc. We've vacationed on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the big island, and Hale Ama at Puako is our favorite destination. Highly recommend.

Hale Ama is a beautiful home on the coast - lots of interesting tide pools to explore - snorkeling right outside the door. Lovely beaches close by.
A great set up for a larger family with en suite bathrooms.
Good working kitchen - great lanai with lots of space.
Whales! Rainbows!

This is a wonderful property with ample space for a large group. Large bedrooms and open, gracious indoor and outdoor living areas. The home is beautiful, with attractive furnishings and an open layout. Beautiful sunsets every night. The property manager lives nearby and was attentive to any questions or issues that came up. It is conveniently located on the Kohala Coast, very close to Hapuna Beach and nearby resorts and golf courses. A short drive to Waikoloa Village for groceries and shopping. There is also a general store just down the road for immediate needs.

This exceptionally well-appointed Puako Beach house is directly on the water. It offers a very private experience, complete with beautiful tide pools in front of the house and visiting turtles that frequent the area. The main house generously provides three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Extensive common areas are well-appointed and welcoming, especially the lanai, which wraps around the ocean side of the house and offers a variety of sitting areas for great conversations (or naps!) The main living room / dining area is spacious, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well appointed (Wolf induction stovetop; SubZero refrigerator and freezer; food processor, etc.) and comes with a spice drawer and baking supplies, which offer lots of potential for creative morning delicacies or savory late dinners. The TV room easily accommodates gatherings for relaxing around the home theatre. A separate cottage behind the main house offers an exclusive bedroom / bathrooms / small kitchen and sitting room. If a couple in the group needs a little more privacy, this is the spot!
It was a delight to be here and we hope to return! It is a gem of a property that assures you will be welcomed with the very best of Hawaii’s hospitality. Aloha!
