10/10 Excellent

"Loved every bit of it. Clean. Simple. Ocean front. Quiet area. We'll be back !"

3 Story House - 10 Beds - steps to the Beach-Shore! **No Hurricane damage/impact

10/10 Excellent

"Our party included an extended family of 13 ranging from grandparents to grandkids. The house was a perfect fit with Hawaii style and comforts. We happen to be there when Hurricane LaLa was approaching and the host and his onsite overseer were proactive in communication. When the power went out that communication and care continued. If you’re going to be stuck due to bad weather, power outages, and closed state beaches, you can’t beat Puako. So many places to access snorkeling and sunsets. The house is a great location to discover Waikola, Kohala, and Kona. All in all, we’re grateful to our hosts for making sure we could enjoy the house safely and comfortably the whole time."

Puako Beach Luxury Oceanfront Home- 3 Guest Suites

OCEANFRONT PUAKO HAWAII LUXURY VILLA STEPS TO HAWAII'S BEST SNORKEL & SCUBA REEF

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay overall and would absolutely recommend this property. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house itself is spacious, well maintained, and perfect for families or groups. The bedrooms are all generously sized with excellent air conditioning—it almost felt like having three primary suites plus a great kids' room. The kitchen was also very well equipped and had everything we needed for cooking meals. One thing we overlooked when booking was that the pool is actually more of a spool—it's only about 20" deep. That was on us for not reading the listing more carefully, but it's worth mentioning for anyone expecting a traditional swimming pool.Despite these minor inconveniences, we had a great vacation. The home is beautiful, the location is hard to beat, and with a few maintenance improvements, it would be an exceptional place to stay."
