The master bedroom has a beautiful adjoining bathroom with a walk in shower and double sinks.

You can see Mauna Kea from the back and the ocean is just across the street for daily snorkeling or diving. The largest white sand beach on the island is just 5 minutes by car and there are five star resorts near by with golf, spa and other amenities. Great surf spot at the end of the street and the whales are visible from November through April.

Tranquility in the tropics
Ideal location - walk to multiple beaches, short bike or drive to more. House is very well provisioned - it’s outfitted thoughtfully and fully with everything to live here. Listen to the waves at night, wake up to the symphony of birds, grill freshly caught ahi and chill under the stars. If you are looking to get away from the resort experience, ride bikes, run, do yoga on the deck, or simply relax, this is the place.

Puako Gem
My wife and i had a great time here. The location being ~1/2 way down Puako road made it nice for easy walks to all the shoreline access points. It was also close to Kawaihae harbor making it easy to go scuba diving out of Kohala Divers.

Great unique house for nature lovers!
Overall, we liked the place. Fun and interesting house with 'treehouse' feel, cool bamboo ceilings, and an open floorplan. Only the bathrooms have ceilings, bedrooms are open-air (no ceiling) and have only pocket doors. Very nice bathrooms and kitchen with nice new appliances and great outdoor bbq grill. House comes with some beach gear - several beach chairs, swimming noodles, boogie boards, and a couple pairs of fins for snorkeling (bring your own mask/snorkel). Nearby (walking distance) beach access takes you to pretty rocky beaches great for standing and watching sunsets. Nice sandy beaches are just a 2 minute drive North (Hapuna Rec Area and also Hapuna State Park). General store is within walking distance and has many necessities including Keurig coffee if that's for you. You will share the indoors with a few geckos (essentially harmless). But you'll need to use the provided mosquito nets around the bed (leave them up day and night) - as described in another recent review, they do poop. A fair amount. Mostly in the bedrooms. Owners do do pest control (annually I think) so the gecko count probably fluctuates a bit throughout the year. It's the price you pay for the unique treehouse feel. :-)

Great house in a great location; some appliances didn't work; expect gecko feces everywhere
Pros: Well laid out 2 bed/2 bath in a classic Kohala Coast beachfront community across the street from many shoreline access points to Puako Bay with rock beaches, sand beaches and many tidepools to see sea turtles land or snorkel out across the reef. We liked utility pole #120 the best for wading around and 115 for a quick nightly sunset session. It is situated between the Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea resorts and close to several beaches (Waialea Beach was our favorite) within a few minutes drive. There is a general store nearby for any sundries you forgot to pick up in Kona (though expensive). Poke day was a nice touch (look for the sign). It is a raised home with a walk-up wrap around deck (well-lit carport below) and open floor plan hosting main living areas. The home was pretty well appointed and had most of what we needed in the kitchen and living areas, including good quality cutlery and cook pans. Beach gear did the job, including the supplied cooler. Ceiling fans, A/C, Laundry, Induction Stove, TV and other appliances were easy to operate and kept us comfortable (see exception below). The Bose speaker was a nice touch. The outside patio is spacious with oversize umbrella and newer grill. The multitude of light switches are all labeled for ease. Cons: We unfortunately ran into issues with the home, mainly the dishwasher was not operational for the duration of our stay. Management company was quick to respond and inspect in person, as well as bring a new coffee maker that also died, but the problem was never resolved. A credit was offered, but washing dishes by hand cut into vacation time. The most annoying issue that travelers should expect is the gecko activity. This is not clear from the listing and was bothersome. We realize the biodynamic area the home is in and why they are prevalent, but we've never experienced this level of gecko activity (read: feces) inside a home in Hawaii (have stayed many times on all islands including the Big Island). We had to sweep constantly in order to walk around and no area was spared (tables, countertops and furniture) from gecko droppings. The worst was waking up to a gecko dropping on your head. We appreciate the significance of geckos in the ecosystem, but this is unacceptable. The sign in the home and in the guidebook (which we did not receive in advance) did not allude to this level of fecal matter.

Lovely Stay in a Lovely Home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 days in what we came to know as our "tree house." The home had everything we could possibly need to be comfortable, and if not Kristi from the property management service promptly helped us with any thing we needed. The location of the home is fantastic. We love snorkeling and birds, and this house is lovely for both. The home has wonderfully big and mature trees surrounding it so that you literally feel like you are in the trees, and we had coffee and enjoyed the multitudes of birds each morning. There is wonderful snorkeling right across the street and down the road.....the water by telephone pole #120 is wonderful and we also watched the sunset there most evenings. There is also awesome snorkeling just a short drive down the highway at 49 Black Sand Beach. Puako has all that you would like to do if you like to be in or by the water and enjoy a slow paced, quiet feel to your days. It is not Kona, which is precisely why we love it so. All in all, we would highly recommend this house for your vacation; it is clean, comfortable and very well kept in a gorgeous setting.....complete with a family of wild turkeys who stroll the grounds!
