$300 off the normal nightly rate ($1250) for Aug 2nd to the 24th

Mature plantings, carefully situated, plus two-level design, create a haven of comfort for enjoying beach living while capturing the best of the coastal breezes. Beautifully crafted with oak floors, redwood paneling and koa shelving, Ulu Niu is lovingly decorated with artwork by renowned local artists, all related to the owners. Casement windows with venetian blinds between the glass layers attest to the thoughtful design of this tropical home, carefully maintained by the original owner/builders.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this perfectly located paradise. Just steps from a gorgeous beach with fantastic snorkeling and amazing sunsets. We had a group of 7 with family and friends and there was plenty of room for everyone and the house made you truly feel the Hawaiian experience.

I've stayed in several homes on Waialea Bay and this is a great one -- clean and nicely appointed with everything you need. The lack of clutter is almost as soothing as the sound of the water lapping against the shore. It's a lovely house. And the location is unbeatable.

Classic Hawaiian beach house literally right on the water. The property manager did a great job of communicating and checking in on us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The house has a ton of character and is located in a beautiful colony of houses on a hidden gem of a beach. This is worlds away from the cookie cutter golf course houses that you see too frequently here. The location generally is also excellent. It’s about a 5min drive from Hapuna beach which is one of the best beaches in the world…on par with Hanalei. And it’s only about 15-20 min to Waimea which has the best dining options on the big island.

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: We loved the location, just steps to a less trafficked beach. The outdoor shower and all the beach supplies (boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear) were fantastic. The house was well stocked and comfortable. And mary was super helpful with all of our questions. The only thing we missed in the description was that the third bedroom was below the main house and you needed to take the outdoor stairs to get there, so it was a bit tricky with our two kids.

The vibe of this place was amazing: homey and tropical. The proximity to the beach was just incredible. Hearing the ocean, having the trade winds blow through the open windows, and taking a 2 minute walk to get to the beach made it hard to want to leave to explore. I can see why the property is hard to book and why it has so many repeat guests :)

We've stayed in Puako and on Waialea Bay for several years now and all agreed this is one of our favorite rentals. The house oozes classic Hawaiian charm. Traditional, not too fancy, clean and comfortable. Very well stocked amenities-wise. We are a family of 7 and felt the house fit us quite nicely. Loved waking up to the sound of birds and surf each day. The view of the ocean through the trees and the sound of the crashing waves helps give a beachfront feel without the exposure of actually being completely beachfront. Being able to feel like you have some privacy from the public beach goers was desirable for us. The side gate leading to the sand path to the beach gets you there in 20 seconds, so it was the best of both worlds. Plenty of beach paraphernalia in an outdoor closet available to borrow, as well as a fantastic outdoor shower to clean up after time on the shore. Mary at 2Papayas was wonderful and attentive. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

My family of five enjoyed this home so much—I can’t overstate how special the home and location are. The home is fully stocked and we were very comfortable cooking and enjoying the lanai and especially the outdoor shower. The real highlight is the beach—spending each morning watching the sun rise with coffee in hand then swimming, paddleboarding and snorkeling all day was remarkable. We also felt we were in close proximity to other awesome beaches. Thank you to Marley and Mary for helping us get organized with groceries and gear rental, hooking us up w a private chef one night, and answering countless emails with questions before our arrival.
