E 'Aka 'Aka Mau loosely translates as Laughs a Lot House in Hawaiian. Our two bedroom, two bath home is a perfect getaway for couples and families! Just 400 feet from the beach, and with a beautiful view of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, our house offers two sides of Hawaii, both the ocean and the mountains. Enjoy breakfast in the morning, watching sunrise over Mauna Kea on the wrap-around deck. Take a leisurely stroll to the beach, picnic and beach chairs in hand, and enjoy the warm Pacific waters. Snorkel in Puako Bay or at nearby Waialea Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. Swim with sea turtles, colorful fish, and perhaps even a moray eel! Afterward, relax in the screened-in lanai living space, while your meal is grilling out on the BBQ. And end your day by watching the spectacular sunset over the ocean before walking back to your Hawaiian escape. E 'Aka 'Aka Mau House is uniquely set up to accommodate family and friends, but still afford privacy. The upstairs area is air conditioned for warmer days and has a spacious living room; the cathedral ceiling with two fans gives the space a light, airy feel. This same ambience carries over to the dining area, where koa trimmed windows and wooden floors show off the 'Hawaiian plantation' decor of the room. Open the large sliding glass doors and windows to allow in the breeze! The galley kitchen is well equipped with everything necessary to prepare any kind of meal, from a Thanksgiving turkey to Hawaiian and Asian fare. Granite-topped counters, hard-wood kitchen island, and a large, shelved pantry provide the ideal space to create meals for family and friends. And a Weber Spirit II propane grill is readily accessible on the deck, perfect for grilling that special Hawaiian dish! Downstairs, a second air conditioned bedroom with sitting area and separate bath lends a 'studio setting' feel to the unit, and is perfect for teenage children or when two couples rent the house. It is accessed through its own separate door. For extra guests and/or small children, there is a fold-out sofa sleeper in the upstairs living room. Finally, the screened in lanai is set up as an additional living space, with a double bed futon for those wanting to sleep outdoors. High definition TV and wifi are available to our guests. A full-sized washer and dryer are also on the premises for your use. Our goal is to make E 'Aka 'Aka Mau House your home away from home - a place to relax, enjoy your surroundings, and laugh alot - with family and friends! Hawaii tax ID W24030175-01 On-island contact information sent with Welcome Letter prior to arrival Interested in a Montana vacation? Check out VRBO 962789 Please note the following from the State of Hawaii: Hawaii SB 1396 was signed into law by Governor Josh Green on May 27, 2025. This increases the State Transient Accommodations Tax from 10.25% to 11% effective 1/1/2026. This will be added to all reservations manually on 1/1/2026 as VRBO does not have a way of doing it now. With this increase, the total tax rate will become 18.712%, up from 17.962%. Our apologies for this increase, but it is out of our control. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 18 steps to reach entrance - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,216 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31540000/31539000/31538924/96404fbc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### PUAKO 1940's Vintage Beach Cottage - Now with Air Conditioning Kamuela - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 233 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=31538924&PinnedHotelID=31538924&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20180000/20178900/20178816/860cfa44.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome to Mango Cottage Puako - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 124 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=20178816&PinnedHotelID=20178816&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105560000/105556000/105555927/bbca1bf0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom home minutes to world class beaches, surf, scuba, snorkeling & golf!
