Amazing! Everything about the property was wonderful. It was very clean, close parking, and close to the pool! Owner had great communication with us regarding check in and check out. Great experience. We cannot wait to be back!

We enjoyed our stay. Really nice option with great location. Convenient parking in front and really comfortable place to stay. Couldn’t ask for a better place for the value. Highly recommend.

Everything we may have needed was there for us. Thank you!
Condo is beautiful, both bathrooms remodeled with fantastic showers. Thanks for the beach chairs and beach towels.we didn’t need the beach toys, but they would be a very nice addition for a family.
We hope to return soon and would happily rent this condo again.

This place is close enough to get to all the nice beaches and Kona but just far enough away for piece and quiet as well. Shops and restaurants are near by with easy access to the road to Hilo. Has everything you need inside for eating at home and beach play. Would definitely stay again. you need you

Our overall Waikoloa getaway experience was very enjoyable. Property is located at the end of subdivision near to back entrance or exit gate. Which makes it accessible and convenient. Home is very inviting and comfortable. Shopping centers are within distance. Thank you so much for having us!!!

Great location and amenities. There were a couple of issues.
Chemicals: Mainly an issue since I had young children. A minor recommendation would be to have chemicals stored somewhere other than in easily accessible cupboards, such as under the kitchen sink. My 1 year old daughter grabbed an open container of powdered cleaning product. This obviously was on me for not having my eyes on her at that moment, but given that others may stay with their children there, I thought I would mention it.
The AC: It is controlled by a Nest thermostat, which is locked. The condo temperature was set at 76 degrees on auto mode, which was much warmer than my 1 year old daughter could handle. We are from Hilo and are used to warmer temperatures during the day, but not 76 at night!
I contacted the owner (or manager, not sure) to see if they could turn the temp down. Initially, I was told that they found the temperature comfortable and that energy costs are high. They offered to turn it down to 74, which I said was fine. Within a few hours, the temperature was turned back to 76 F. Since my daughter is young, I again requested they turn it down for her nighttime safety. Since the contact was on mainland, they didn't turn the temperature down till 2 in the morning. We went through the same thing the next day.
It was weird and Orwellian (like big brother) to have someone else control the temperature of a condo you are renting. I understand cost, but we paid a lot to stay here.

We stayed at Puako. It was wonderful and relaxing. The condo is in a very convenient location. It was also nice and quiet.

The condo was just what it said it was, a really nice home feeling with everything you need and more. The host was super easy to deal with, check in and out instructions were super clear. We really enjoyed our stay. Definitely will be back.

Well they spent two whole days working on the back gate but still never got the entry gate to open. Still blocked off with pylons. Also the downstairs toilet is a bit wobbly. If the next occupants could pick up some pepper that would be great. The place has salt but no pepper. The beach chairs are a bit worn but still functional. Other then these things it is a great place to stay and we would definitely come back again.

Large townhouse with everything you could ever need. The kitchen is well organized with labels. The area is really quiet. Would definitely stay there again.

Paul's unit was beautifully appointed. It had everything. A very well stocked kitchen and perfectly located. Only complaint was the blinds in the kitchen...very difficult to use to get out onto the lanai. Paul was easy to deal with and very accommodating. Would highly recommend this unit to anyone.

This is a very nice place to stay. I was a bit concerned about the check-in ahead of time, but it worked out perfectly.
The unit is beautiful and very upscale. There was an abundance of beach towels which was very much appreciated.
The grounds and facilities available in this complex are very well kept up.
It was too bad that the back entrance gate was not working as this unit is located very near that back gate. Hopefully the complex can get it up to speed in the near future.
I would definitely recommend this unit and hopefully we can stay here when return to the Big Island.
