Hale Alaula, or House of the Sunset Glow, is a renovated cottage located right on a beautiful sandy beach in sunny Puako. As you can see from the pictures, the house is full of modern and newly furnished appliances and furniture. The master bedroom has a king size bed with it's own half bathroom and outdoor shower. Walk out the door from the bedroom into an outdoor shower surrounded by bamboo. A full bathroom is attached to the living room area where the punee sleeps two. Wake up and go to sleep with views of the morning glow and unbelievable sunsets. The living room is equipped with two punees (Hawaiian day beds) that can sleep two people, ideal for children. The kitchen is fully equipped with all stainless steel appliances including a oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. From the kitchen you can walk out onto the lanai and eat your meals on a new outdoor table.
Coral washes up on the Puako's shores and creates a beautiful white sanded beach. The beach in front of Hale Alaula is far enough from any beach access point that few visitors wander by, providing you with plenty of privacy while still allowing you to enjoy the coastline. Just a few doors up shore is an easy access point to climb into the warm Hawaiian waters at the perfect location to experience some of Hawaii's best snorkeling. Directly in front of the beach access point are some undersea arches that are fun to swim around, over, and under. The reef is full of a plethora of different species of fish, starfish, eels, and sometimes rays. Occasionally a pod of dolphins will swim by, and in the winter months you can see the humpback whales breach the surface and hear their song under the water.
Puako is famous for its abundance of sea turtles, and just north of Hale Alaula is the "turtle cleaning station," where sea turtles go to let the yellow tang fish to pick algae off of their shells. Take a walk up the shore and you're sure to see plenty of turtles basking in the shallow waters or napping in the sun.
Hale Alaula is the perfect Hawaiian home to experience the serenity of the island and the wonders it has to offer, both on land and in the sea....

Gorgeous location. Quiet. Private. Directly on the water. Visited every evening by three sea turtles a few hours before sunset. General Store just down the street with incredible sandwiches for your daily adventures. Only big criticism, claiming AC is stretching the truth. There is a tiny unit in one bedroom. And it can only cool that one bedroom. It was quite hot and humid during our stay and that wasn’t pleasant.

We saw turtles, whales, and plenty of birds from the backyard. The birding book was especially helpful.

Our stay at Puako was one of the most memorable experiences we have had on any of our more than 20 visits to the Hawaiian islands. Wandering the tide pools on the beach in front of the house, snorkeling some of the most special water we have seen right out in front of the place. Watching turtles come out of the water for a little sun. Watching whales and dolphins playing right off the beach. Hearing the whales while snorkeling. Simply relaxing and enjoying the beach was absolutely wonderful.
There were occasions during our 9 day stay when the waves were coming in a little too high to allow for a reasonably safe entry, in front of the place, but just down the road a little way, near the Church, was a wonderfully protected place to enter the water.
The wifi was sufficient such that I was able to conduct a little business from the lanai.
The view from each of the rooms great, the only knock I have was that I had to spend about an hour cleaning the windows to fully take advantage of the great views.

We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage by the sea! How lucky we are to have found this place. Inside and outside the property, everything was pristine. How lush and peaceful the property grounds. The view of the stars at night in the garden facing the ocean,..a perfect stay in paradise. I highly recommend to everybody looking for some quiet time and a slice of heaven. Our host was so friendly and pleasant, willing to accommodate our inquiries/ requests here and there. Thank you for a memorable and wonderful time! We will keep this place in mind for future visits to the big island.

We loved our stay here. We don’t like the hotel scene so this place is well equipped for cooking and enjoying the local culture and area or just hanging out. The location is perfect. We would definitely come again!

My wife and I stayed at this home in July to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. This cute home is steps away from the ocean and loaded with everything you need for a quiet getaway. The location is spectacular and close to everything you need - restaurants, beaches, groceries, activities, ect. Turtles are right out front. Wild turkey's came to visit. The furniture indoors and out is in great shape as are the appliances. The bed was very comfortable. The A/C was fully functional. We only used it for a few hours during the hottest part of the day because the sea breezes kept the house comfortable most of the day. We can't wait to come back again!

This was our first stay on the Big Island, but won't be our last. After a week at a resort, we moved to Cindy's wonderful property for a second, even more relaxing week. Everything was great. The perfect base from which to easily get to a variety of fantastic beaches and explore the Kohala coast.

Down a residential road on the water, a beautiful setting, very well maintained property! Right on the ocean, basking turtles and whale watching during season. Walking distance to Hapuna Beach. An absolute gem of a property, great for 2 to 4 people.

We are a scuba-diving family and love to dive right off the shore. This lovely beach house suits us perfectly. It has a great layout, is well-furnished and comfortable. We love exploring the reef, counting the turtles and watching the sunsets on the beach. The owner is very easy to contact and quickly responds. Definitely a slice of paradise!
