We have a two story residential home, located across the street from the turquoise clear waters of the Pacific ocean.
Our guest apartment is on the ground floor with its own private entrance through a garden atmosphere into a large screened in porch with plants, table and couch. The apartment is 1000sf with a King size bed with soft bamboo sheets and air-conditioning in the bedroom with additional cooling fans throughout. The apartment is ideal for three adults or two adults and two kids, max. Four adults is not recommended as the pullout couch bed in the living room is not really designed for two adults, in my humble opinion.
The back door leads to a bucolic outdoor porch setting with a breakfast table, birds galore, a barbecue and a small fenced in yard with beautiful views of adjacent wild State land and magnificent Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and the Kohala Mountains beyond.
No fire engines, no police car sirens, nothing but a peaceful atmosphere.
We provide our guests with snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrella and a wonderful breakfast spread (heavy on fresh fruit). With advance notice, we are happy to arrange rentals for any water equipment that we don't have, including kayaks, paddle boards, surf boards, and scuba gear. Bicycles are also available for rentals.
The large living/dining area includes a small kitchen island and has been remodeled with new wood flooring, paint and carpets. It is quite lovely, comfortable and inviting; a very homey, cool and spacious environment with soft paint colors. Some say its more spacious than the pictures show. The air-conditioning in the bedroom and fans in the other rooms take care of any heat issues.
Thank you....

We had a wonderful week staying at Bailey's house in Puako. Puako itself is a quiet, sedate neighborhood--perfect for quiet mornings and afternoons. Proximity to the beach is stellar, whether you use the Puako beach access points or take a short drive to Beach 69 or Hapuna. The house itself was perfect for us (a family of four, with two young children): we loved sitting on the back porch watching the myriad birds at the feeders and the wild pigs in the back fields. The kitchen is well-stocked--better equipped with staples and pots and pans than many places we have stayed. Wonderful place, highly recommended!

The apartment is spacious, comfortable and homey. This is not a high end modern experience, but a cozy and relaxed retreat. The bed is very comfy, bathroom shower newish, and the apartment is very clean. The proprietor, Bailey, is gracious and kind. We felt more like his personal guest than a renter. A lovely experience.

Had a wonderful time. Close to everything we needed at Kohala. Spent the days diving, snorkelling the local beaches and sampling the great bars and restaurants nearby. We are hoping to return soon again

A lovely & comfortable home away from home. Love, love, love the attention to details. The fresh fruit awaiting us in the fridge was so kind and amazingly delicious. We have stayed many places on the big Island and this was my favorite. You can hear and see the ocean from the front window! Perfect location for walking along the shoreline path and to many beaches. The screened lanai was a tropical oasis. Our host Bailey was so kind and communicative. We would love to stay here again.
