Absolutely one of a very few special homes located in the Puako Village as a vacation rental. This is a well appointed home; every room supplied with comfy beds and linens and original art throughout. Nothing has been spared; bathrooms and interior meticulously maintained. Upon arrival the rooms are fluffed and a lovely breeze flows freely in this ocean front oasis. The grounds and landscape is well maintained and a hammock beckons to have guest enjoy a son set view from a lanai equipped with all things needed for a barbecue or dinner served. The management team are a professional crew and are available 24/7. Awesome guest services! We look forward to renting this lovely home away from home again!

Such a beautiful and comfortable home right on the water. We watched turtles swimming by and sunsets every night. Robbie and the team were great and communicated with us often to make sure everything was going smoothly.

This house was perfect for our family vacation on the Big Island. The views were breath taking. We saw so many turtles, dolphins and all the sea life! The house was as beautiful as the listing. The area is quiet and not busy which we loved. Will definitely return on next trip out.

The house, the accommodations, the view and the management company were all top notch. The experience was better than I could have expected. The house allowed for each of us to have our private time while enjoying all the amenities during the hours that were best for everyone. The views of sunset every night were magical. We even saw sea turtles and eels right outside. Thanks for an incredible family vacation that we'll remember for years to come.

What an absolutely beautiful view! The sunsets every night were gorgeous and the house is beautifully maintained.We were able to enjoy 3 different beach/snorkel locations nearby. We were very impressed with the amount of beach accessories available to us...chairs, umbrellas, noodles, coolers, water socks etc. And the house had plenty of dishes, cookware etc.

The accommodation met our expectations but the feeling emanating from the home and property exceeded our hopes. Clean 100%. As pictured 150%. The protected tide pools and marine life doubled as morning, afternoon, and night entertainment – turtles, baby sharks, eels, fish, dolphins, and whales. The only amenity we wished for were paddleboards so we could get closer to the outer reef, but the beach chairs and snorkel equipment was used regularly and in great shape. The location is amazing – a quiet, isolated neighborhood, but quick access to shopping, beaches, and all the Big Island tours and day trips. The dipping pool was being the perfect place to float or play with the family. The property managers were attentive without being intrusive and answered our questions before and during our vacation. We loved every minute of our stay.

We were a family of 6, 5 adults one teenager. The layout of the house provided space and privacy. All furnishings very comfortable, decor inviting. The kitchen well equipped. The setting SPECTACULAR. The ocean at our doorstep. The marine life in tidal pools astounding, sea turtles, eels, fish too numerous to list. And in the horizon dolphins and whales seen almost every day. Several in our party scuba dived with the Blue Wilderness Dive Shop, which is close by.. Leave taking brought tears to our eyes, a memorial experience .

We just loved the property it lived up to all the pictures.. Mary and her team were so easy to work with. The sunsets we amazing. There were two great beaches with in ten minutes and you could walk out to see the turtles thru the beach access next door. Great having your own pool to walk into when ever you needed it. Working on plans to return again next year.

Perfect quiet spot with everything nature offers right in your back yard! Sea turtles, blow fish and sting rays!! House has plenty our outdoor living space and you don’t want to leave. Beach down the street is perfect for swimming and the whole area is teeming with fantastic snorkeling.
House has comfortable beds and plenty of privacy in each space along with plenty of bathrooms. I highly recommend you book this!

Wonderful two weeks at Hale Ohana with our children and grandchildren. Beautiful views, wildlife and access to beaches. Mary at 2 Papayas was very helpful throughout. Would love to come back.

Beautiful home in a quaint town. The sounds and smell of the ocean breaking on the reef the fragrance of the flowers allows for a complete sensual experience. Look forward to my next visit.
