A delightful experience with the outdoor setting, pool, beach, tidal pools, and ocean vista drawing you toward them constantly. The home is beautiful and well stocked in every way.

Extremely well equipped "home". This is not a typical cold rental unit so be prepared to treat it with the loving care it deserves.

We had the best experience here. Between the owner and the manager the communication was excellent and we were left wanting for nothing. The house was so great with Grandma having her own room with her own entrance and exit. The pool and hot tub were amazing. We loved watching the sunsets over the pool deck. Not much more to say than treat yourself! You won’t regret staying at this house. A week of heaven.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the most beautiful property we have ever rented. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with our entire family, 8 adults, 2 kids and a baby. The views were spectacular, perfect sunset every night. Kids (and adults) loved walking on the rocks in the ocean, lots of fish and sea turtles! The home was spacious, clean and very well equipped, especially the kitchen, every small appliance you need.Loved that there were four separate sleeping quarters, one for each of our individual families. Two washers and two dryers a plus. Great pool and outside entertaining areas. We had a luau by the pool by Chef Catherine of Outrageous Gourmet, the best!Never had to contact the realtor, no problems at all. But they were great to work with, too. Didn’t meet the owner, but heard from the gardener and chef that she is wonderful.Best vacation ever!

I don’t know where to start. So here it goes. This is my 4th time to the Big Island and the location of Puako Hylton House cannot be near. The home is spectacular, the location is amazing, the owner’s attention to detail and consideration for the guests is flawless. We had 4 adult children with us and two brought their partners. The layouts of the suites with their own full kitchens, baths, living areas and privacy it could not have been more perfect. The views and porches from the primary and secondary master suites were an absolute treat and perfect to watch the sunset for some occasional quiet time. There was an abundance of room in each of the master suites as well as the separate suites. Everything is labeled, light switches, overhead fans, and drawers so there is no guesswork and it’s as simple as can be. Wait until you see the showers, I don’t want to spoil that wonderful surprise. The fun whimsical Hawaiian decor is a treat. It perfectly captures the Hawaiian feeling you want while sitting in the living room overlooking your own slice of paradise. The hardwood floors and beam work in the pitched ceilings are exquisite. Everything is perfectly maintained and spotless. The furniture is quality and it shows in comfort, construction and design. The lighting is adjustable throughout the interior of the house making picture taking look professional! The glass doors ( they make up the walls) open up entirely and you can adjust the exterior lighting to match the indoor creating a seamless transition from the patio (the patio furniture is gorgeous) to the interior of the house which is perfect for parties and gatherings. We had a local caterer (Sweet Marie’s Hawaii Inc cater for us for the week and she made the most delicious birthday cake I’ve had in my life) which cut down on cooking time so we could really appreciate enjoy every minute in the house with family. The pool/patio and jacuzzi area with the view leading out to the sandy beach is even better in person than in the pictures online. Everything is clean, perfectly maintained (the barbecue too!) including the abundance of pool and beach equipment. The sunsets are breathtaking. Ive spent nearly half my life at different ocean locations and this sunset location has surpassed all. It was gift from heaven every night. I cannot recommend this home enough. The owner’s are so helpful, kind, courteous and responsive. Book it, you’ll be thankful u did.

Absolutely gorgeous home in an ideal location. Had a family reunion of 3 generations, 6 adults 4 children ages 2-10. The owner and property manager were the best at ensuring our stay was perfect. The house was amazing, in impeccable condition and stocked with anything you could possibly need. The best VRBO I’ve rented . Wonderful memories. Thank you!!

This is a PERFECT house for larger groups. We had 4 married couples in our group, and with the way the house is set up, each couple got their own little wing of the house. It couldn't have been any better. The large kitchen and living room area are great, and the pool and hot tub with the views are next level. The snorkeling was great too- we saw TONS of fish and even a turtle right behind the house. Close to lots of beaches like Hapuna Beach, and easy access to the rest of the island. 5 STARS- I couldn't recommend it more!!!

The Puako Hylton was the absolute best option for a family vacation! The property was luxurious, the kids never left the pool, there are relaxing suites open to the ocean and ample relax areas around the home! You want to eat dinner on the deck while watching beautiful sunsets every night! The staff was very helpful checking us in and making sure we had everything we needed! This home comes equipped for any beach trips in the event you ever want to leave the house :)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our three-generation family group of 10 spent a week at the Puako Hylton and can only offer rave reviews. The home is lovely and the owners are both attentive and respectful of privacy. The Puako location is ideal for both northern and southern excursions. The very nearby snorkeling is great and the house offers every amenity you could possibly wish for: beachfront pool, hot tub, and views in addition to a fully supplied kitchen, towels, snorkels, etc. The combination of location and an exquisite, totally outfitted house, made for the best trip any of us can remember. We already have plans to return!
