ʻOhana Hale in Puako! Rare full Mauna Kea Views, Steps to the Beach, Private.

Aloha! Welcome to the ʻOhana Hale, your Puako retreat with stunning forest and unobstructed view of majestic Mauna Kea from the lanai, living room and dining area. This quiet and tranquil location is literally 100 steps away from the beach. This is your perfect spot on the Big Island to relax and rejuvenate far from the crowds. Situated in the quiet historic shoreline community of Puako, our comfortable accommodations provide vacationers a perfect home base for those coming to the Big Island to find their balance or to find their adventure.

Enjoy walking out the sliding door every morning onto the grass area to enjoy a beautiful sunrises over Mauna Kea with your cup of Kona coffee. Take a morning or mid-day stroll to the beach to view sea turtles, swim, snorkel, or just sit and read a book listening to the sounds of the surf and palm leaves swaying in the trade winds. Walk to nearby ancient Hawaiian lava petroglyphs. Be sure to check out the night sky from the backyard. The special lighting on the island for the observatories on top of Mauna Kea makes for a break taking view.

Ohana Hale showcases Big Island paintings of fine art by local artist Christian Enns (christianenns.com) who has a gallery at neighboring resort to the north, Hapuna Prince, as well as a studio and gallery in the neighborhood. Our home sleeps four with the primary bedroom having king sized bed, guest bedroom with two single beds, a living room with large couch and dining area which seats six. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, two bathrooms, washer, dryer, outdoor shower, air conditioning, and an outdoor BBQ. All linens and furnishings are newly refreshed. Most of the art on the walls is by local Big Island This property is an excellent space stay, play and relax while on the Big Island.

Puako offers access to some of the best snorkel and diving experiences on the Big Island. You will be near world famous golf courses, delightful outdoor shopping malls that feature an array of great boutique shops and some of the best Big Island dining and views. Of course if you're interested in any of the many water sport activities the Kawaihae harbour and nearby resorts at Waikoloa beach have a wide variety of offers. Take advantage of the many sunset catamaran excursions or sunset excursions to the top of Mauna Kea at close to 14,000 feet (~4200 meters) above sea level. There are also five National Parks on the island. Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site is the closest being a 15 minute drive to the north and highly recommended to learn more about the Hawaiian history and culture.

November Stay in Puako
The location was perfect for our family holiday - close to beaches and outdoor activities and tucked away from hustle and bustle of resort-based communities. The swing in the backyard was a hit with the kids and the view beyond it was amazing. This is a quiet, relaxing and friendly spot steps away from the beach (and turtles), tucked off the road with all the conveniences of being home.

Amazing Vacation
I almost hate to review this house because we'd like to keep it a secret:) It was in a fabulous and quiet location with access to a little sunset watching beach with lots of turtles to view from a safe distance. The yard and swing were highlights and we loved every minute of our trip!!

Paradise
We loved our stay at Sandi and Ken’s place in Puako. It was a quiet beautiful neighborhood with the ocean (and sea turtles) just right across the street and Mauna Kea stargazing in the backyard. Easy to get to get to all the best beaches. Stocked with all the kitchen essentials and beach essentials. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Sunrise (happy) cries
The first morning waking up just before sunrise in this beautiful setting made me cry happy tears. The view to the northeast of Mauna Loa is truly wonderful. Beyond the amazing and relaxing surrounding open space and beach, the home is well stocked and cared for. The bed in the primary room is also exceptionally comfortable!

Restful Oasis!
The Ohana Hale is wonderful! A great place to relax and enjoy nature (lots of birds!) House is very private and peaceful, beautifully decorated, great views from the back lanai. Good communication with clear instructions on how to get there, get in, what to do, etc. The house was very clean, well equipped kitchen and comfy couches. There are 2 bedrooms but we only used the master suite. The bed was very comfortable, great closet and bathroom area. Having a washer and dryer was a plus. House has great AC and ceiling fans. Beach access is a short walk across the road. There are also great travel books available and a very informative binder with restaurant suggestions. Would definitely love to stay here again and can see why so people have done so!!

Puako vacation
This is my third time to stay at this home in Puako. I love it there, in the morning you can see the sunlight coming between Kohala and Mauna Kea, and view the mountains of Mauna Loa and Hualalai as well, weather depending. In the evening I walk across the street and watch the sunset.
