We had a wonderful stay. Home was clean and in a great location. Many beach entry points up and down the street. So far this has been our favorite place to stay. Best part is walking down to one of the many beach entry points to watch the sun set. Lots of places to snorkel too. Loved our time on the Big Island. Lots to do just a drive away. David and Kim were wonderful. You’ll have to ask about Little Little and Radiant!

This cottage ranks as one of the best VRBO places we have stayed! It fulfilled all of our expectations, from the extremely quiet, private, clean, light-filled and spacious home to the beautiful garden surroundings. The air conditioning works perfectly, but there are also fans in every room if you prefer a more tropical feeling. The beds were very comfortable, and you have a choice of an indoor or private outdoor shower (we preferred the outdoor!). The house was truly one of the best stocked places we've stayed in every way - toiletries, plenty of towels, plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and even spices, etc in the kitchen. In fact, I would recommend checking what's in the cupboards first before going grocery shopping. Also available are beach chairs, boogie boards, a couple of swim noodles, and beach towels. Two of the best beaches on the island are just a 5 min drive away - one for snorkeling and with shade trees (Waialea) and the other for swimming and sun bathing (Hapuna). You couldn't ask for a friendlier and nicer host than David - we really mean that! We will very definitely be back!

We live in Maui and visited the Big Island for a week of scuba diving and birdwatching. I wanted to stay a little off the beaten path and this cottage in Pauko was perfect. It was quiet and quaint, full of Hawaiiana and located directly across the street from the beach. We are so grateful that we discovered this little gem!

Fantastic location. attentive and respectful owner. Cozy home with full amenities. Great outdoor shower. Morning coffee on the lanai listening to bird life was amazing.

David is the perfect host, made you feel like the space was yours as much as it is his. Very well equipped, lanai was spacious and beyond comfortable. The outside shower is a must! Would stay here again without hesitation. Little little was a pleasure to meet!

We had an amazing stay here! It was exactly as advertised and even better. The cottage is charming and full of character, offering the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is ideal—peaceful, beautiful, and just steps away from the beach. We can't wait to come back the next time we're on the Big Island!

This cottage is in a great location, a short drive to the resorts area. Great beach access just across the street and not a far drive from many other beach access points. Great A/C units when needed. I loved the outside shower, my daughter also liked it but my son could not wrap his head around being outside and naked (no one can see you). Wonderful to have so many places to relax on the property, nice line to hang your towels on etc. The washer and dryer were handy to have.
The yard has A curry leaf tree to use as well as some herbs, added bonus we were given fresh mango and chayote to eat.
Overall, we would love to come back.

Puako is a piece of Hawaii heaven. From the ocean sunsets, to the turtles, the quiet and gentleness of the night breeze. David’s house is a rare gem and a bright, airy, and well stocked space to have as your home base. We’ve stayed multiple times and hope to keep coming back! Great beds, showers, kitchen gear, beach gear, and AC when you need it!
