PUAKO 1940's Vintage Beach Cottage - Now with Air Conditioning

Awesome cottage
We have stayed at a few different places in Puako and we found our favorite for sure. We loved the layout of the cottage and it was very clean and secluded. It was stocked with everything that we needed and enjoyed our stay. David was an excellent host and was there to help whenever we needed it. We plan on returning next year to stay here again.

Neighbor island visit
We live in Maui and visited the Big Island for a week of scuba diving and birdwatching. I wanted to stay a little off the beaten path and this cottage in Pauko was perfect. It was quiet and quaint, full of Hawaiiana and located directly across the street from the beach. We are so grateful that we discovered this little gem!

The reviews are correct: this is a beautiful property with well-thought-out accommodations and impeccably clean. Friendly host. Location is in a quiet, relaxing area but an easy drive to the resorts if you’re so inclined. Perfect.

Loved the graceful cottage and gardens. Being one block from the ocean was a fabulous location. David is a wealth of information about the history of the area and the natural world of Hawaii. The cottage has everything we needed in the kitchen and the bed was quite comfortable. We’d go back in a second.

Magical Place in Puako
We had such an amazing stay at this cottage. The minute we walked in we felt like we were home. Very comfortable and equipped with everything you could need. It is such a special place, from the birds singing in the morning to the wonderful snorkeling right down the road. We can't wait to come back!
