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!

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%.

Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent house, perfect neighborhood Book this house before someone else does; it is an absolute gem. As stated by all the other reviewers, it's very clean, well-stocked, and nicely decorated. The best thing about it for me, though, is its location. Puako Beach Drive is dreamy with its many beach access spots (most of which are great for snorkeling or just clambering around to respectfully view the sea turtles and other sea life thriving amongst the lava rock pools), views of the mountains and Kohala coast, proximity to lovely beaches (Hapuna and Wailea were favorites) and total sense of serenity. There's even a flock of wild love birds that like to hang out on the roof and trees nearby. Unreal. It's also worth mentioning how reasonably priced the rental is, given how high prices are in the area. We felt very lucky to be there. Thank you, Glenn & Nicole! ![Sunrise over Mauna Kea through the living room window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12add2ba-688d-4600-af3a-f548063e65cc-1753561607279.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Directly across the street from the house](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e30248d0-fb97-4ddc-828c-5ffe35c5f880-1753561607336.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Looking north up the Kohala coast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b056d35b-ef95-4375-94f8-d24b51c24186-1753561608858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katie B.

We stayed at Glenn and Nicole's 8 years ago and have been trying to make it back ever since. We were thoroughly impressed with the 'value' on our first visit. Numerous upgrades to the property only enhance our view that this remains a terrific value for the Puako area.Quick, easy access to the shore across the road, quiet neighborhood, everything you could possibly need supplied in the rental... and that morning view of Mauna Kea can't be beat. ##### John F.

Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous 360 Views and Excellent Supplies Our stay on Puako was exceptional. Glen’s home has everything you need to cook at home while enjoying views of both the Kohala and the ocean. The kitchen was the best stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. The beach equipment they share with guests exceeds expectations. The location is so central to all of the amazing Kohala Coast beaches. Would absolutely encourage anyone to stay here! Mahalo, Glen! ##### Maley H.

We are already looking forward to the next time we can come back. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us. ##### JOYCE B. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ferris T.

From location to views, to amenities, this home is island perfection. A perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunsets, beach comb with the turtles (from a safe distance), or walk to an ocean snorkel, or swim - it has it all. ##### Ferris T.

In addition to indoor amenities, there is lots of snorkeling and other gear for guests. While we did not come with children or other guests, the downstairs bedroom and bath souls be excellent for them. ##### Heather L. Stayed 19 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann H.

The turtles greeted us each day and, as our visit coincided with whale season we saw a number of whale tails throughout our trip. Hawaii Surf and Kayak provided us a guided kayak tour of Puako Bay where we were able to see more sea life just outside of Hapuna Bay. We hope to return again to this wonderful house! ##### Ann H.
