This home provided a great home base for our group as we explored the surrounding area. It was very spacious and had all the equipment needed for a great day at the beach!

We loved this place. A nice spacious house with back and front patios perfect for sitting outside. The location was excellent with the lava rock beach featuring daily sea turtle visits across the street on quiet Puako Beach Drive. We like to avoid resorts so this was just the spot - thanks for having us!

We had a spectacular time. The house is beautiful and having all of the beach chairs, boogie boards, ice chests, etc. really helped.
The kitchen well appointed for cooking and the gas grill was great.

Loved the house. A block away from beautiful lava made beach with tide pools where you can meet turtles every morning. Also very close to nice beaches. Convenient location to get to Hawi, Waipio, Waimea, Hilo etc. the house has also beautiful backyard with hammock, flowering trees, front deck with nice sitting area. A responsible house manager who was very helpful in fixing issues.

A roomy, comfortable house in a great area with access to the beach just across the street. Sara, and also Jameson, are very available to smooth out any bumps.

Very comfortable and charming house across the beach from a lava beach. House is well stocked and all the beach equipment you could possibly need. The back third guesthouse is adorable even though we didn’t need it. I would stay here again!

We knew where we wanted to stay on the big island, and this house fit the bill. Across the street from the ocean, you can hear the waves crashing and feel the breeze dancing through the windows -- especially at night. There are bikes, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, chairs -- everything you need for a day or two at the beach. The kitchen has everything you need. The next time we visit the Big Island, we will certainly stay here again.

Good overall property. Location was great, Sara was awesome and house was pretty good. There were a few attention to details that would have made this a 5 star property for me. All of the outdoor seating was covered if very thick dust/dirt and Yard debris. It is windy there however I cleaned it when we got there and it wasn’t as dirty when we left s week later as it was when we arrived to the property. The white couches are a nice touch but very stained and feel dirty since it wasn’t a practical color for the beach environment. It made it hard to cozy up on them with all the dirt stains and lastly the dressers are not very functional and would get stuck constantly to where I would have to leave the drawers open so I could access my clothes. These changes would make this a 5 start stay for me. Nice property and a great location

We really enjoyed our stay here in Puako away from the tourist packed Kona. We could walk across the street and watch the sunset, investigate the tide pools or drive 5 mins to the best beaches on the island. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking instruments needed and we used the grill often. Ate outside every night!

Note that the 2nd bedroom is right between the kitchen and family room, with little sound proofing, so if you have light sleepers in your group, that room is not for them. The 3rd bedroom is a disconnected pod with lots of privacy. But, the outdoor shower isn’t totally private. Our group didn’t seem to mind.

We had a lovely time at this home in Puako with our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). Great location, all beds comfortable, spacious layout for a family, cool beach gear provided (boogie boards, chairs, bikes), excellent host. The kitchen was well equipped, the patios and gardens were relaxing to hang out on and the house is directly across from the rocky Puako shore with daily visits from sea turtles. We wish we could live here forever and will surely be back!

Sunrise and sunset on a beach just across the street. What can be beat? We have rented several homes on Puako Beach Drive, but this home was the BEST. Quiet neighborhood, spacious lanai mountain and ocean side, and a well equipped kitchen and laundry. Nice bikes and beach chairs, great garden shower, and good walking to many shoreline access points.
We were grateful for the good aircon on some more humid days. Our hostess was fabulous in reacting quickly to any questions we had from start to finish. Highly recommend her and this relaxing home away from home.
