David was a lovely host and provided a generous welcome with tips on the local flora. The house is simple in the best way - utterly relaxing and with all you need. The location is spectacular for snorkeling because you can walk to the best spots and shower in the outdoor shower after. The cottage is charming with thoughtful updates (AC) and is impeccably maintained.

This cottage and it’s location is perfect in every way. We love the quiet, peaceful location and the beauty surrounding it, the ability to walk to wonderful snorkeling locations, and the peaceful community of Puako. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable annd Dave annd Kim have provided every convenience needed. We have made many visits and it is always spotlessly clean. Dave and Kim are wonderful hosts and we hope to be back again!

Booked a stay for medical conference- I enjoyed staying here more than resort. Perfect for 2 couples or family. Spacious with large rooms. Very private. Quiet relocation walking access to shore/tide pools/sunsets/coastal hiking. Quick drive to beautiful beaches. Hosts are excellent

Spent 10 days here and it was wonderful. Had everything we needed to relax at the house and enjoy a true Hawaiian neighborhood. Very close to the beach public access, so less than 5 min walk. Neighbors are very welcoming. Thanks David for all the great recommendations and mangos. Mike T

Everything about the house and hosts were just the best of the many places we've stayed. We didn't want to leave. They do a great job, and the kitchen is great for cooking, the location beautiful, and on and on. It is a special placeWe are seniors, and it was a comfortable place for us, and the ocean and wildlife were magical there. .

David and Kim are wonderful hosts. Their home is so well designed and delightful. Full of beautiful original art, it is breezy and bright. It feels very private even though the hosts live just behind the house. This place really shows the love and attention of its owners.Puako is a delight if you're looking for something quiet and out of the way. Just across the street from a turtle resting place and lovely tidepools.We have stayed here before and hope to return again.

My teens and I had the best time at Kim and David's. David met us on our first night and regaled us with stories and information about the property. We explored the area on the bikes that came with the cottage which is one of my favourite ways to discover a new place. We used the boogie boards and beach gear, that were also complimentary, to go to Hapuna which was a highlight of our trip and so much fun. Not only was there so much to see and do in around Puako, the cottage was so cute and creatively decorated it felt good to come back to. I would love to stay here again as it had everything I’d need, it was so clean and did not smell of must or mold which is a big deal for people like me with asthma.

We have stayed at a few different places in Puako and we found our favorite for sure. We loved the layout of the cottage and it was very clean and secluded. It was stocked with everything that we needed and enjoyed our stay. David was an excellent host and was there to help whenever we needed it. We plan on returning next year to stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. The host and hostess were especially gracious and allowed us to visit with their pet pigs. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This was our second time staying here. It really felt like home away from home. David even got bikes out for us so we could ride in the quiet neighborhood! There are beach accesses with beautiful coast lines right across the street.
We are 5 minutes drive from Hapuna beach. David and Kim have everything you need for staying at the beach. We’ll definitely stay there again! Thanks for your hospitality, David and Kim!

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!
