The house is perfect: lovingly furnished, with charm and character, and plenty of space for four people. We were four women seeking peace and relaxation, and that's exactly what we found here. A wonderful garden with a view of Mauna Kea and the sunrise, and a one-minute walk to the ocean for our first coffee. And in the evening, we were able to enjoy the sunset. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. Everything we needed in terms of furnishings and kitchen equipment was there, and even more.The contact with the landlord was exceptionally friendly, quick, and reliable.The stay truly exceeded our expectations, and we would come back anytime.Mahalo

We always go to the Big Island and we always stay in Puako. We’ve rented several VRBO’s over the years, including an oceanfront home. Ohana Hale is our favorite of them all. I LOVED the backyard—very private, stunning sunrises, and lots of birds. Our older adult daughter liked the outdoor shower and tree swing. Our younger adult daughter liked access to good turtle watching and tide pooling just across the street. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and we appreciated the variety of spices and having plenty of storage containers for leftovers. The area is quiet at night, the beds are comfy, and we slept well. The house is extremely clean with no creepy crawlies. I found the owners to be friendly and responsive. Ohana Hale will see us again!

We have stayed at Ohana Hale several times for extended stays and will continue to return. Puako is a lovely residential community and ideal for watching sunsets, snorkeling, and is in close proximity to some of the best beaches on the island. The home is nicely appointed, with comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and a nice floor plan. The yard is a great place to relax, with an awesome view of Mauna Kea. The hosts are helpful and responsive and a joy to work with.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The views of Mauna Kea were breath taking particularly at sunrise. The home had everthying we needed and was perfect for a family of 4. It is also just across the street ocean access.

We loved our stay! The place is spacious, quiet, accessible to the beach with an incredible view of Mauna Lea. We will for sure return.

The location was perfect for our family holiday - close to beaches and outdoor activities and tucked away from hustle and bustle of resort-based communities. The swing in the backyard was a hit with the kids and the view beyond it was amazing. This is a quiet, relaxing and friendly spot steps away from the beach (and turtles), tucked off the road with all the conveniences of being home.

The Ohana Hale is wonderful! A great place to relax and enjoy nature (lots of birds!) House is very private and peaceful, beautifully decorated, great views from the back lanai. Good communication with clear instructions on how to get there, get in, what to do, etc. The house was very clean, well equipped kitchen and comfy couches. There are 2 bedrooms but we only used the master suite. The bed was very comfortable, great closet and bathroom area. Having a washer and dryer was a plus. House has great AC and ceiling fans. Beach access is a short walk across the road. There are also great travel books available and a very informative binder with restaurant suggestions. Would definitely love to stay here again and can see why so people have done so!!

We loved our stay at Sandi and Ken’s place in Puako. It was a quiet beautiful neighborhood with the ocean (and sea turtles) just right across the street and Mauna Kea stargazing in the backyard. Easy to get to get to all the best beaches. Stocked with all the kitchen essentials and beach essentials. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

The first morning waking up just before sunrise in this beautiful setting made me cry happy tears. The view to the northeast of Mauna Loa is truly wonderful.
Beyond the amazing and relaxing surrounding open space and beach, the home is well stocked and cared for. The bed in the primary room is also exceptionally comfortable!

I almost hate to review this house because we'd like to keep it a secret:) It was in a fabulous and quiet location with access to a little sunset watching beach with lots of turtles to view from a safe distance. The yard and swing were highlights and we loved every minute of our trip!!

We loved our stay in Puako. We had two families. We each had a separate end of bedroom and bathroom with the living room and kitchen in the middle. The views out the back was beautiful. It worked out great. Mahalo

Our second stay here. Love the backyard view and the proximity to the beach, as well as fans of Puako in general.
