This oceanfront property was a perfect spot for our extended family, including two young children. Each couple had their own “cabin” with a king size bed and ensuite bathroom so they could have their privacy but come together in the main house for meals and relaxation on the lanai. One cabin has an attached outdoor shower with a door, and there is another outdoor shower on the opposite side of the house. The outdoor showers were the best, and great for cleaning up after the beach. One of the four cabins is on the other side of the pull-through driveway making it a little more isolated, but it is roomy with lots of windows for circulation. The main house has another full bath including a shower. The kitchen is large and well appointed. There is a dining area for eight inside, and another large table on the attached lanai. The laundry has full size W/D and a second refrigerator. We spent most of our time on the lanai, which has large wide daybeds for lounging and reading. With small kids, having the grassy area in front of the house with just a small entrance to the beach made it easy to keep track of them. The beach in front of the house is especially nice for children, with a calm area frequented by numerous turtles. We had one issue while we were there, and Gregg came over right away and took care of it. The house was very clean. All in all, it is hard to find anything negative to say. We hope to come back again.

Gregg could not have been nicer or more accommodating to us. The main house has a great patio with a large lounge area that we enjoying sitting at, looking for whales and turtles. The beach in front was great for the kids, too. Unfortunately, the house set up did not work for our family. None of the bedrooms are connected to the main house, so we each had to sleep with a kid (2 and 4) in our room - not ideal on vacation. I didn’t pick this detail up when booking, so it was only when Gregg pointed it out that we were able to troubleshoot by putting twin beds in two rooms for the kids to sleep on. It’s a great rental, and we would consider staying again once our kids are older and we are comfortable with them in a detached bedroom.

Home is right on the beach. Lots of whale sightings! Deck was perfect for hanging out and reading books.

This house was even better than we expected. It served all of our needs as a family traveling together. Gregg, our property manager, was wonderful. He showed up with his wife to check us in, and he also checked in on us during the week to make sure that everything was going well. We could not be happier with this property or the property management experience. As managers ourselves of a vacation home rental property, we know when we see a good host. Gregg is that person and did a wonderful job. We’d come back again and again to this amazing property.

2nd time visiting. Easy entry, private bedrooms, no stairs and the lanai is the absolute best sunset viewing area.

Dirty, roaches, ants on the kitchen counter, ant traps behind art on the counter, geckos everywhere along with their droppings, no air conditioning, smelled liked urine, only one towel per person, it was like camping not all what was expected ~ over priced. Stay at a resort to enjoy the Hawaii experience!!

This was a perfect place for our week in Hawaii! The house has a big lanai with lots of comfortable chairs, a large table for outdoor meals, and a green, green lawn, palm trees and the wide ocean in full view. The large kitchen had all of the cooking supplies and counter surfaces we needed to cook all of our meals there. We used the outdoor grill several times, too. Each of the three bedrooms had their own bathroom and separate entrances connected to the outdoor walkways and patios so there was lots of privacy. The property manager Gregg was super helpful about getting in touch before and upon our arrival, and was quick to answer the one call I made about some extra bedding. We walked to really great snorkeling at several spots along Puako Drive where the house is located. We would have never left this place if we had the option!

It was just what we were looking for, a nice place to relax on the beach. A fun vibe, great ocean view and private. Gregg the host was great to work with! Would love to go back!!

We enjoyed our week here so much. It was everything we wanted. Peaceful, relaxing and the most beautiful sunsets. Don’t think twice about this place. The property managers were very kind and accommodating. We will definitely be back and will stay here again!

Sea turtles abound and will rest for the evening on the beach right outside the house. Perfect spot to watch the sun set, relax, and pretend that you have no cares in the world.

We had an incredible stay at this beachside property! The location couldn't be better—right on the beach with huge waves perfect for surfing and swimming. The nearby food trucks offer a fantastic variety of delicious options, making dining easy and enjoyable. The property itself is well-maintained and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We can't wait to come back!

The property is deceiving. As you walk up to the front gate, it looks like a fairly middle of the road, simple property. But once you open that front gate, paradise and privacy awaits you in the most breathtaking kaleidoscope of colours and nature. The property has an old Hawaiian vibe, with spacious living areas, inside and out, lots of windows and light, and that marvellous view of the ocean, right outside your door. My family says it will be hard to consider staying anywhere else.

We lived the individual rooms and then the awesome common area was perfect. We saw so many animals/greenery right on the property!

We have been to Hawaii many times and this is our all time favorite place we have stayed. It was perfect with our 2 year old grandson being able to play easily or wade in the water with his family. Having the living quarters separated from the bedrooms also made for a mixed family gathering that we weren’t bothering anyone if we kept different hours. No AC, but they provide plenty of fans. We will definitely be coming back. I’m missing the sound of the breaking waves as I type this.

Four friends from Molokai decided to hop on a plane and take an interisland vacation and we couldn’t have asked for a better home, location, or property management. Truly a beautiful place, incredibly comfortable casual and relaxing. Everyone had their own space (bedrooms and bathrooms) and the common area was perfect (large kitchen, dining, covered lanai and living room). We spent 5 nights and no one wanted to go home. Puako is a very special and unique neighborhood. It’s a throw back to a quieter Hawaii time and should be savored. Thank you Gregg for managing such a lovely property. We all truly appreciated it!

I unfortunately had to cancel as I got sick at the last minute. However, my daughter and family still went. They absolutely LOVED it. Said it was perfect. Couldn’t have been improved upon. Greg, the Manager, was responsive and helpful. They went out one night and the 17 year old son said (why are we here when we could be on our own wonderful lanai with a view.” Hopefully I can rent again and be able to enjoy the place myself.

If you want a comfy Hawaiian cottage with lots of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, this is your spot.

There are few things better than watching a sunset on a private-feeling beach, unless of course you add a plethora of green sea turtles swimming around and sunning themselves right nearby. A magical home with a spectacular view and snorkeling right outside!

We enjoyed an amazing week in Puako at this lovely home. The layout was great- lots of privacy for our three teens, but a beautiful main gathering space for us to enjoy dinners, movies, and games (and lots of beautiful sunsets!) Watching the waves every morning and night was so relaxing and blissful. We have fallen in love with the Big Island and can't wait to be back!

Beautiful location. Hot in the afternoons when no breeze. Some rooms do not cool off. Asked for extra fans and Gregg delivered 3 extra fans. Close to Kona Diving. 8 family members. Here for 3 weeks in June. Great family time. Eldest daughter did pay extra to have a portable AC put in room across for main living area. It was very nice that they accommodated her and her family bthanks again Gregg.
