Our multigenerational group of eight had a magical Big Island stay at this house. The setting can’t be beat, and the layout of the house and it’s amenities take full advantage. Communication with the owners was excellent. Our only complaint is that we didn’t plan to stay longer.

Puoko Beach was the perfect location for our family of 8 -- 5 adults and 3 kids. The house had ample room for indoor/outdoor living. We wpoke up with the sun, walked down to the water, and watching the tide come in. We saw people snorkeling and even scuba diving in these waters, but we chose to only wade in the tide pools because of rough waters. It was still amazing -- turtles came in the afternoon further down the beach. In the evening, we watched the sun from the lanai as it lit up the sky.
The kids enjoyed the pool, which was chilly in December as expected, but the adults took full advantage of the hot tub.
The rooms upstairs picked up nice breezes so that a/c wasn't missed. The house is built to harness those winds. As a big city resident, I enjoyed listening to the sounds of the ocean at bedtime rather than sirens and car alarms.
The garage featured a broad variety of beach gear - boogie boards, snorkel masks and breathing tubes, coolers, chairs, sand toys and a beach umbrella. These were perfect for Beach 67 located nearby. Even during the peak Christmas rush, the beach was never particularly crowded.
Being 30+ minutes from Kona is a feature of this house as it avoids some of the crushing crowds. However, we arranged two tours that launched immediately down the street.LightSUP paddleboarding at night was amazing and the Adventure X boat tour for snorkeling and whale watching was great. We were able to walk to both of them.
We can't wait to return!

We wanted a quite place on the beach to get married. It was just us, our minister, photographer, and personnel chef. Note: this is NOT a place for a larger wedding group or loud festivities.
Brooke was awesome in her assistance and even recommended some of the services that we used. She is very gracious and responded immediately to our inquiries.
This is a great location if you are going to split your time between the North Shore and Kailua. There is a food market within ten minutes and plenty of various dining venues at the neighboring resorts.
The kitchen is very well equipped. There are plenty of beach toys and towels. Amazing sunsets!

The view from the back deck is breathtaking! We had a beautiful week at the Puako beach house. We spent many nights having dinner/ordering in to eat on the deck. The house was great for our group of 7. Brooke was communicative throughout. Would highly recommend.

We couldn't of asked for more-this place met and went beyond all our expectations!
The owner Brooke was very responsive to any questions and was full of information of the surrounding area! We have been doing family vacations in different states for the last 10 years and this was the most well stocked house we have ever been in! From start up paper towels to a big supply of beach towels and everything you need for the beach. I can't even begin to have the words for the beautiful sunsets every evening!
We were a family of 6 adults and 1 child flying in from Louisiana and there was plenty of room to spread out. This was a 5 star vacation and we hope to do it again!

I loved this stay. One of the nicest places I've ever stayed. Perfect for anyone that likes a quiet spot, the classic indoor/outdoor Hawaii style living, and the life aquatic.
Place is as described. Host is easy to communicate with.
There's no beach, but the snorkeling was world class. Turtles everywhere. Really fun underwater formations where the shallow lava bottom drops off to a deep area about 300 yards out. Even saw a huge manta ray.

Never been to the Big Island before and we found this beautiful home to stay at and spend time with family. We had fun exploring the island but the best times were spent as a family enjoying the welcoming home and gorgeous views of the ocean!!

This property was perfect for our 5 night stay on this side of the island. It was conveniently located off the highway close to some of the area resorts that we were able to visit for supplies and for activities and so close to Hapuna beach!
If you are looking for a home with lots of space so you don't feel crowded and that provides everything you need to just show up and head to the beach, this is it! Host provides beach towels, beach bag, umbrella, beach chairs and snorkel gear galore, and the backyard even has extra water shoes for taking a stroll out to view the tide pool areas. There were also 4 bicycles available and we some of our family biked down to the Fairmont Orchid. Lots of cool little spots in this area that you have to "know about." Details are provided in the binder of the home when arriving. We saw others snorkeling right off the backyard of this neighborhood, but we couldn't quite get the hang of navigating all the lava rock unfortunately.
Host was super responsive and quick when contacted and very easy to talk to.
Sea Turtles basked on the rocks in this area and twice we saw spinner dolphins commuting across the ocean all with Maui in the distance. Very cool!
The home is older and does have a retro vibe to it which is kind of cool, but would be nice if host would consider updating some features such as bathrooms and kitchen in the near future. Everything was still functionable, but again, just a bit dated.
Overall really satisfied!
