Hawaii> Kamuela
- 3 bedroom
- 2 bathroom
- Sleeps 6
Enjoy the panoramic ocean views from this top-floor, southwest facing unit in the Puako Beach Condominiums! Always cool from fresh Hawaiian breezes, this unit is perfect for sunrise, sunset, and all day long in-between. You can see resident spinner dolphins and, when in season, humpback whales, right from your lanai (patio)!
The small, charming community of Puako is perfectly located for a wide range of activities, including world-class snorkeling and diving, surfing, coastal walks, and relaxing beach time. You’ll have easy access to numerous nearby restaurants and shops, and a wonderful Saturday morning farmers market up the hill in Waimea.
The owners have provided towels, chairs and coolers with ice packs for spending time at the sandy beach across the street, or exploring nearby Paniau or the beautiful beaches at Hapuna State Park. Given their love for the ocean, several books on Hawaii’s wildlife are left out for your enjoyment, and only environmentally sensitive products are used whenever possible, all while keeping health and safety standards high.
The full kitchen is well equipped to prepare tasty meals which you can enjoy on the covered lanai. An electric BBQ is provided for outdoor grilling, and a coffeemaker and blender are available for morning drinks and smoothies. The cook in your family will be grateful that while the kitchen is compactly efficient, it even has a dishwasher! All linens, towels, and a starter supply of paper goods and soaps are provided. The unit has high-speed internet, cable TV and a washer and dryer.
The Blue Wilderness Store and Dive Shop is right next door. They offer a wide variety of groceries and grab-and-go food. You can either rent your own snorkel or dive gear from them, or book a boat trip to a number of remarkable reef locations in the area.
This well-maintained condo complex—great for couples, families or small groups of friends—has gardens bursting with tropical flowers, mangoes and citrus trees. The pool is always meticulous, and there are lounge chairs and a dining area around the pool deck. The young ones can even enjoy the smaller "kiddie" pool. The complex manager keeps the common areas clean and welcoming for visitors and residents alike.

This condo was exactly what we wanted and expected! Literally the only difference was that the couch and bed sheets weren’t the same as the picture, but that’s just me being picky because everything was still awesome. Hawaii is a warm place, so keeping the screen doors open and the fans on helped keep a nice breeze throughout the place. The area was nice too, because it was a quick drive to the queens and kings shops one way and a quick drive to the white sand beaches the other way. I also liked how we got a guaranteed parking spot. We all enjoyed our stay, especially since the host was extremely good at communicating and the whole condo was stocked with everything we needed! It was affordable and our family enjoyed the condo very much :)

The view was wonderful. And some of the condo was very nice: kitchen and main room. Everything you needed was available in the kitchen. The lanai offered great whale watching. The two back bedrooms were musty and the sheets were not fresh. Not dirty but musty / not changed in awhile. The washer had an odor but it was not in the clothes we washed. Each day in the parking lot next door scuba tanks were banged around.

We were quite satisfied with the Puako Beach Condo and 2Papayas. Great location, easy check-in, good communication. We would consider staying again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay in this spacious condo in Puako. It was clean, airy and had plenty of space for all us. Fresh mangos left by the property manager were a delightful breakfast treat. The unit gets superb ocean breeze and we were never hot even in 90F weather. Sunsets from the lanai are magnificent and are to die for. There is a nice non-swimming beach within a 5 min walking distance. This condo is within a 5 min drive to the best beach on the Kona coast (Hapuna) and even less than that to Beach 69 (a hidden gem) and it avoids hustle and bustle of a typical resort. The dining setup is unusual and is limited to a smaller bar seating area in the kitchen and a larger 4-person table on the lanai. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with nice linens and plenty of extras if one needs them.
Please keep in mind that this is a primarily residential condo building that has a few VRBO units. This condo building would be best for a family with older kids/teens who can follow all the condo building rules in the pool. The property manager was a pleasure to deal with and addressed any issues promptly. Overall, definitely a great stay at a reasonable price. Mahalo.

Overall this is a great place and would stay here again. This is one of the few places on this part of the island that isn't a resort, which was a positive for me. This part of the island usually has sun even when Kailua-Kona doesn't. The condo is in a chilll and quiet little area. The place was clean with a great Lanai for work or leisure. 5 minutes or less by car to Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches. The TV didn't have a Roku or similar device (that I was aware of anyways), but did have an hdmi cable. No boogie board in the place, but the shop next door had very reasonable rates for rentals. Air flow was great for the kitchen, living room, and front bedroom, not sure about the rest of the place.

We had a great time at condo 401. Will be back. Clean, well appointed and the views are wonderful. We were worried about being on the top floor, but the breeze kept us cool and comfortable. We love the quiet relaxed feel of Puako! We recommend the Fair Wind boat tour and Hapuna beach.

This unit is the top floor condo, which offers the most amazing views of the ocean! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked with necessities, there were beach towels, some toys and some chairs. The general store right next to us was a big help for snacks and sandwiches. We all enjoyed our stay here!
