Modern luxury and old Hawaii charm meet and beckon from one of the largest oceanfront lots in Puako. With 350+ feet of beachfront access and ocean views from every room, this unique and meticulously maintained home is a vacation dream—the main hale with a luxury oceanfront master suite and an additional oceanfront suite and the private guest wing with two private oceanfront suites, its own wet bar, washer/dryer, and access to the main hale via a covered bridge.
This private estate features a secure gated entry, four luxurious bedroom suites with open ensuite bathrooms, open-air living spaces, and gorgeous natural surroundings.
Hale Waima Lani (The House of Waima Heaven), situated on Waima Point, boasts two easy ocean access points to some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii. Make the most of your ocean views from the Lanai, the bedrooms, or almost any room in the house perfectly positioned to watch and listen to the waves lap onto smooth lava rock & coral sand beach. Look out over the lush landscape and stunning Kohala Mountains and Maui enveloping the property.
The quintessential Hawaiian oasis, three anchialine pools, provides natural irrigation to the mature native trees, including coconuts, Lauhala, and rare Loulou palms. The ancient pools rise and fall with the tides and hosts wildlife that flourishes in this habitat, including the endemic Night Heron and Hawaiian Stilt. They don't attract mosquitos because the water is brackish.
The sweet humming of dragonflies buzzing along the lily pad-lined ponds stimulates the senses and sets the scene to this serene sanctuary. Wake up to the sound of singing Myna birds, rolling waves along the shore, and the gentle gusts of ocean breeze circulating throughout the entire house. Take a stroll through the cobblestone pathways surrounding the garden and absorb the sweet smell of Plumeria and Gardenia flowers in bloom year-round. At dusk, the magnificent sunsets over the ocean horizon from the beach right in front. You will witness the array of sunset colors light up the sky with the silhouette of turtles in sleep are highlighted in the glow. Hawaii living at its best! This four-suite, 4.5 bathroom resort-like property in laid-back Puako is perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, or just everyday living.
Each suite features its own large ensuite bathroom with modern amenities, including individual air conditioning, soundproofing, walk-in closets, and light-blocking Venetian shades. The floor-to-ceiling windows with tall ceilings and pocket lighting create a dreamy outdoor-indoor living environment with incredible views all around.
Every suite was designed to have an expansive ocean view.

We had 8 guests who stayed at Jovan’s house for four nights. It is a beautiful home! As far as vacation properties go, this is the best we’ve experienced, there isn’t one detail that has been overlooked. We cooked in every night and the kitchen has everything a chef would desire! The yard is beautiful and just a few steps to the beach; we saw turtles our first evening. We will definitely be coming back to this oasis!

Our stay in Jovan’s home on the Big Island could not have been any better! Thank you, Jovan, for sharing your home with us.
The house is fully stocked with every possible necessity you can think of. From paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, to extra sunscreen in case you forgot. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with every possible item needed for cooking. And it is all incredibly high quality.
The beds are extremely comfortable and the air conditioning in the evening while falling asleep is a bonus. The spacious lanai is a fantastic way to end every evening. We saw multiple sunsets from the house that were just spectacular. We rented kayaks from Adam (highly recommend!) and our teens enjoyed paddling the bay.
The property manager, Nikki, was one of the most responsive we have had across all of our VRBO stays.
It’s not really possible to find the words to describe the house because they won’t do it justice. Beautiful, spacious, comfortable, gorgeous…all of these fit (x10)!
Just book it, you won’t be disappointed!!

We've been to Puako several times but this was our first time at this property. And to say it's great would be a vast understatement. Not only is the house spectacular and ideally situated, but the owner has appointed and stocked it with every possible accessory one might need during their visit, and then some. It doesn't feel the least bit like a rental but instead, being a welcome visitor to someone's very well-appointed home. And Puako remains our top destination in all of Hawaii!

First rate property right on the beach, with great snorkeling and diving right from the beach (see Jack's Diving Locker site Puako Church Point). The chef's kitchen is well-stocked with spices, condiments, staples, etc., so you can cook without having to start from scratch. The property managers, Tiva & David, delivered outstanding white-glove service -- airport pickup w/ car rented to us, with poke & rice & cold beers waiting for us. Next time we'll stay a bit longer and take them up on some hiking.

My adult children and their spouses gathered with me to spend a week at Jovan's absolutely gorgeous home on the big island of Hawaii. It is the most beautiful VRBO in which I have ever stayed. The place was spotless, the beds very comfortable, the kitchen was magnificent. The views of the ocean and the sunsets were unbelievable. After playing outside all day, we came in to cook our wonderful dinners in a fabulous well stocked kitchen. After dinner, we returned to the beach to watch the skies and look for shooting stars. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This was even better in person! Super clean, equipped with every convenience we could ask for and more. Snorkeled out back every day, watched the sunset over the ocean every night. Played games and puzzles with friends and family on the lanai. A/C and wonderful beds and bedding made for great sleep as well. Already wondering when we can plan to return.
Tiva and her husband were great as well, reaching out to us beforehand to see if we needed groceries pre stocked or help planning any adventures and she happily answered the occasional questions we had during our trip.
Don’t hesitate to stay here - it was fantastic!

The house and location were a thing of fantasy. What elevated it to the next level were Tiva and her husband David. They helped to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect. They even helped set up a family picture shoot at sunset right here at the house with the most amazing background you can imagine.
One of our children could not come and as such, we are already planning to come back again.
I can’t imagine a more perfect house, location, or experience.

My family of 5 had the absolute pleasure of staying in this beautiful, immaculate, one-of-a-kind home for 8 nights, but we wish we could have stayed for 100 more! The host has obviously tended to every detail from the quality of the linens to the art on the walls. This is truly the most beautiful, well-kept, well-appointed home we have ever rented.
Highlights include:
+Amazing beach access
+Stunning landscaping
+High-quality EVERYTHING
+Sweeping views of the water and north end of the island
+Crystal clear communication
+Attentive concierge service
+Insider tips about where to swim, eat, shop, etc
+Comfortable beds
+Plenty of room to spread out, yet intimate enough to spend time together as a family.
Five HUGE stars all around!

No way to improve the property, the view or the hospitality. Easily the most beautiful location and accessibility on the water. Completely stocked home with everything you could possible dream of having. Wishing I could stay here forever.
