The hosts have thought of everything. A slice of domestic bliss on the otherwise resort-oriented Kohala Coast. Beautiful and spacious apartment and yard with a private entrance and private outdoor shower in front for rinsing off after beach excursions. They’ve also provided everything you need for a day at the beach, including body boards and kids life vests.

This perfect cottage in quiet Puako is walking distance from the ocean. Great place for watching the turtles and the surfers. Love the furnishings, the private garden lanai and the fresh fruit from Johnny.

We had a wonderful time. There was great access to the coastline and the beautiful sunsets. Quiet and great location, close to all the places we wanted to see. Comfortable furnishings and nice lanai. We ate all our meals outside. We also enjoyed the cat's company.

Jan and Johnny have created a comfortable vacation home in a wonderful location. We loved the peace and quiet. The ocean across the street. The sunsets. The lanai. And great access to other nearby beaches that were better for swimming. The bikes were also a very welcome addition for nearby travels. Planning a return trip already!

We loved staying at Puako Hau Hana, great location to get away from it all. Listing was as advertised and we will definatley return. Great for 2 couples who are looking to enjoy the Kohalo coast and not be at a resort.

First time in the area. Loved the proximity to the elements. Many beaches within walking distance, turtles, fine snorkeling, historic sites , and a most comfortable home to return to after a busy day! Bed was super comfy and just a titch of AC at night as it was quite warm.

The location of this home is unbeatable! We had a wonderful time with tide pools in the a.m. and watching the sea turtles & sunsets every evening just steps from the house, then laying on the beach watching shooting stars after the sun went down. House very comfortable, hosts were friendly when they responded
Why not 5 stars? Upon arrival we found that the host family lives on the upper level of this house which was not at all advertised in the listing. We specifically filter for private homes when vacationing and paid a premium price over a condo for that privacy. Initially we planned to overlook it but after 2 days of being awoken by very loud footsteps and noises above our bedroom before 7a.m. I messaged the host to let them know we were unhappy about it. I requested a possible small partial refund for the inaccurate listing/inconvenience of being woken up, but that at a minimum advised them to change the listing and please take extra care to be very quiet the following morning until at least after 8am (we would be flying out that day and needed to sleep in a little to try to adjust back to our time zone). Not only did I never receive a response, but that evening they were using power tools upstairs even beyond 10pm and yet again woke us up walking around before 7am the next morning. Additionally, there was a sugar ant issue in the kitchen, only 2 portable cooktop burners (the listing also says there is an oven but it's a portable countertop one) so don't plan on cooking b

We enjoyed our stay at Jan & Johnny's home in Puako. We received quick responses to any questions. The location was perfect in the beautiful community of Puako, with beach access right across the street where we were lucky to view several green turtles in their natural habitat. Would highly recommend!

We'd long wanted to stay in Puako, which is a unique location. It's a bit of an isolated, little enclave which is along the water but still not far to restaurants and resorts.
Jan and Johnny's place is extremely comfortable both inside and out. For divers and snorkelers, the outside shower at the entrance and place to hang gear in the back is great. Lounging both inside and out is very comfortable and perfectly set up for the tropical environment. Local bird life was always entertaining.
The kitchen is convenient and essential items are well stocked.
Jan and Johnny themselves are very welcoming and available for any questions you may have. In one short conversation, Jan gave us several excellent recommendations from food to drink and even to a great shore dive site nearby. I can't imagine nicer hosts.
There is a very convenient local store for this neighborhood which stocks any essentials you may need without taking a long drive. Huge bonus - they rent diving gear! Renting a weight belt and tank was fast, easy and cheap and local!
As for Puako and the location, we'd take the nightly walk of 30 seconds across the road to view the resting turtles and the sunset. There are multiple local shore access points for snorkeling and shore diving. We did one time walk to a local resort (Fairmont) for lunch.
You'll find it harder and harder to leave as time goes on.
