Gorgeous Oceanfront Estate, Steps From Beach w/AC & Puako Bay Views: 10D

This oceanfront Kohala Coast home with breathtaking coastline views offers the ultimate setting for a once-in-a-lifetime escape to paradise. Decorated in a tranquil, elegant island style, it features two primary suites, central air conditioning, and two stories of covered lanais for full enjoyment of indoor/outdoor Hawaiian life.

A sprawling great room boasts vaulted ceilings, an abundance of inviting seating, and a substantial flat-screen television. The living space flows effortlessly into a formal dining area for eight, which in turn transitions seamlessly into a gorgeous, fully equipped kitchen with bar seating. Wireless internet, a Sonos audio system, and a large laundry room with a washer, dryer, laundry sink, and additional refrigerator ensure that guests have all the conveniences of home.

One spacious primary bedroom with a king-size bed, large flat-screen television, spa-like en suite bathroom, and dedicated office space (with a printer/scanner/fax) occupies the entire upper floor of the home. A downstairs primary also offers a king-size bed, large flat-screen television, and full en suite bathroom. Both feature spectacular ocean views and open directly onto covered lanais. A third beautiful bedroom has two twin beds along with its own flat-screen television and full bathroom. The twin beds can be converted to a king with advance notice.

The home's shaded lanais provide the perfect spots for a leisurely cup of morning coffee or a restorative afternoon nap. The lower lanai also includes a lovely open-air dining space for six. Just beyond, guests have the option of lounging on the lush lawn in the peace of a panoramic Pacific view, surrounded by gently swaying palms. With just a few more steps, your toes will be in the sand.

This Puako estate home on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island is a short drive from other stunning stretches of sand such as Hapuna Beach, and the area's sunny weather and clear waters make it an ideal location for snorkeling and scuba. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, and coolers are provided, along with boogie boards and snorkel gear. Attractions such as tide pools and the Puako Petroglyph Park, a fascinating archeological preserve, are nearby.

This home is also conveniently located almost directly across the street from Puako General Store, where guests will find groceries, coffee, sandwiches and other meals to go, and even local souvenirs. Situated less than 30 miles north of Kailua-Kona, it allows easy access to endless dining and shopping choices, a variety of water sport and hiking possibilities, and Kona International Airport.

We booked based on all of the 5 star ratings and it certainly delivered. The house was not only immaculate but stunning. The beautiful woodwork was top notch and the flow of the house perfect. The kitchen was so well stocked, labeled and organized. Everywhere was extremely clean. I was having trouble with stairs so my husband and I took the master suite on the main floor. My daughter took the master suite on the second floor. Both had amazing views. The owners thought of everything including black out window coverings. Our 3 teens headed out to the beach and swam. The beach is shallow and protected. The house is close to other beaches with great snorkeling access. The few neighbors were quiet. We enjoyed the snorkel books they had so we could identify the sea creatures we all saw. In their front yard was an easy accessible hose to wash off all of the sand from our swim clothes & snorkel gear. They also had an outdoor shower to help although we didn’t need to use that. The owners seemed to think of everything. The washer/drier worked very well. One night, our son got a stomach bug. We cleaned up and called the property managers in the morning. They were so kind and offered condolences right away. The carpet cleaners came out within the hour! Initially, we had a slight problem with the garbage disposal but it was immediately fixed by maintenance. We were all very reluctant to return to our home on the mainland – we had such an enjoyable time.

Great management communication
Luxurious house and interior. Not overly decorated and had plenty of amenities in good condition. A lot of variety of drink-ware and good amount of plates and cups. Bathroom/shower/bath towel sets were good, except for the second floor bathroom drainage issue and the shower handle issue, which the Mngt team resolved immediately. Kitchen cook sets were all scratched up (pots, pans, and rice cooker) which was a big disappointment for a facility of this price range; however, when I requested to replace pots and pans, the management team immediately followed up with new ones the next day (I didn’t ask for a replacement of the rice cooker.) unfortunately, the replacement cook set may have been a cheap one as the coating of one pot already started chipped off after boiling noodles (no hard utensil was used during the usage.) 2nd floor bedroom movement can be heard from the 1st floor master bedroom clearly at night, which was disappointing. Check in/out instruction and communication was clear and informative. Overall, the house was pleasant to stay in and the management team’s support was top quality.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
The house is in a fantastic location on the water with a beautiful view and immediate access to the water. There is a store across the street for items and you are only 15 minutes away from Waimea or other locations with restaurants, so it is extremely convenient to stay here. The house itself is clean and spacious and well supplied. Grandma enjoyed waking up early and spending time on the lanai to watch the waves come in. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Peace and turtles!
This is a gorgeous, well kept, well-appointed property on a peaceful area of coastline that is away from the melee of the resorts. The house sits right on the ocean, on a tiny inlet which is home to a population of turtles. We were here for Christmas and it was very peaceful and relaxing - beautiful bedrooms overlooking the ocean. If you are here at a busy time of year, definitely ask for information about activities/ reservations etc as it gets very booked up and must all be reserved in advance. Would definitely recommend it.

Five Star Experience
This property is so wonderful, it's hard to describe! The house itself is beautiful, well-stocked, and perfectly located. The view is right onto stunning tide pools, where we watched a turtle come hang out every day and small fish dart about - and in the distance, saw a large ray splashing in the waves. The house is the most rental-friendly I have ever seen, with clear instructions and labeled drawers. Lots of books on the local area line the shelves, and the garage has beach equipment and chairs. Also, if you like paddle boarding or kayaking, this house is in the perfect spot to put out into the ocean. The location is utterly perfect: 10 minutes from Mauna Kea Beach Hotel where you can have lunch, golf, or sit on the beach, and 10 minutes in the opposite direction from the Mauna Lani development with excellent restaurants, golf, beaches, and shops. Even better, right across the street is the General Store, so we could walk over for groceries like coffee, milk, wine, snacks, and to-go meals. Again, this house is unbelievable. We had the best vacation there. I would recommend to families with or without children (kids would love it, and there's lots of art supplies), couples trips... basically anyone would love it. An amazing place.

Paradise found
My friend and I had a fantastic vacation with whales jumping right off shore, rainbows & sunsets, and easy access to snorkeling throughout Puako at public access points. She had never been to Hawaii and I must say, she couldn’t have stayed at a better place to take it in. Property management was great and responsive. Place was very well equipped indoors and with beach supplies. Would definitely stay here again if it’s available.

Fabulous stay at a lovely home.
Our family of four adults stayed here in September and loved it. The home is situated on a beautiful private stretch of beach, has lovely furnishings, and the size made us feel like it was a true home away from home. Note that you are charged a non-refundable cleaning fee and a concierge fee regardless of whether you avail yourself of concierge services which is generally not the case with other luxury properties we've stayed at. Regardless, we enjoyed our stay and would return here again.

This place is better than the photos. The house is amazing and the location can’t be outdone.
From the moment you walk in the door with the host you feel like every detail was prepared just for you. From the AC cranked up to the music playing in every room. They really have rolled out the red carpet for us. Every soap bottle is filled and every towel is placed with anticipation of your need. This is without exaggeration the nicest vacation rental we have stayed in. We didn’t want to ever leave the house. If you are into a morning swim, then look no further. You could swim out at any moment, day or night and see thousands of fish, rays and turtles. Bring an underwater flashlight and go out at night. The reef explodes with life and everything is out eating dinner. The neighbors are a delight and so welcoming. Made us feel like moving here. We will be back!

This place spoke to my soul!
I recently stayed at this Puako home for 5 nights with my two daughters. Holly greeted us when we got there to go over all the details of the house, the stay and the area which was very nice. It is an amazingly beautiful home which is spacious, and tastefully and serenely decorated.The beds are so comfortable and sleeping to the sound of the waves was so wonderful. Being right on the beach was amazing! I am so glad I stayed here rather than at a resort complex or in Kona. The peace and quiet of Puako was desperately needed and sincerely appreciated. I have stayed at many beachfront properties and I think this one is my all-time favorite!
