The home itself is well-stocked with essentials, very clean, has comfortable beds, is charmingly decorated, and the outdoor shower is like a spa! Overall, an incredible place to stay! ##### Sheila F.

Jan 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pearl of Puako This a adorable, quaint and unique home and location were an absolute delight, and really made our vacation heaven on earth. It was so welcoming and comfortable, with everything one could need for a lovely Hawaiian getaway. This was a present for my 60th birthday, and the best gift I’ve ever given myself. The Hawaiian decor throughout was jus lovely, and all the beach goodies and toys were a bonus. So lovely having space in backyard to relax and bbq. We really enjoyed having happy hour and coffee with our turtle friends across the street, and frequent close up whale sightings. Wish we could’ve extended our stay, but not possible. Mary and her team with 2 Papayas were so attentive and accommodating to all our needs while there. They go above and beyond customer service and see why they are voted the best. Stay here and you will have the time of your life, never wanting to leave. ##### Robin R. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max J.

The house is gorgeous too, but don't expect to much privacy between your party members.The Guest room gets quite warm without A/C but it's ok.

Clean, full accommodations, comfortable, great yard and perfect location for us. Wanted something away from the touristy resorts without being too remote. The layout is a tad quirky but nothing that we couldn't adapt to. The property management folks reached out to me multiple times and were very helpful. I would definitely use this location again. ##### Scooter J. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William ('Bill") F. Sep 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection in Puako A very charming cottage wonderfully situated on Puako Beach Road. There are multiple shoreline access points along Puako Beach Road which lead to great snorkeling - - one is directly across from the cottage. The cottage, which is much larger than indicated by the front view photo, is tastefully decorated and well-equipped, and the large grounds surrounding the property are beautifully maintained. ##### William ('Bill") F. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James F., Prosper, USA Jul 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Time in Hawaii We really enjoyed our stay and the house was a great fit for our trip. Some highlights include: 1\. Super friendly management 2\. Great location for our trip 3\. Clean house with a well stocked kitchen supplies 4\. A/C window units kept the house cool (a bit noisy at night, but nothing beyond a typical window unit would make) 5\. Neighborhood was quiet 6\. House was stocked with ready to use beach equipment (cooler, chairs, umbrella). 7\. Private outdoor shower was a fun experience From the house we were 5 minutes away from Hapuna Beach, 10 minutes from Ocean Sports snorkeling cruise, 20 minutes from the Airport, and 30 minutes from Kailua-Kona. It is also a few minutes away from the big resorts so if you want to go shopping or go grab a coffee, its a simple drive down the highway. Tips: 1\. Stock-up on your first day. The general store is down the street, but it is really only for grabbing something quick. We found the grocery stores at both resorts just south of the house easy to access and well stocked 2\. For large groups, the "napping bed" is the least private space to sleep. Great for naps, but if you have a big group, whoever sleeps in that bed will be in the middle of everything. 3\. Outdoor shower is the only shower. Fun for us, but might not be for everyone. 4\. Reach out to management if you need anything. They were super helpful our entire stay. ##### James F.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at this charming home. Loved the location and quick walk to the water. The backyard was amazing with the variety of birds and relaxing hammock. We dined on the deck most evenings. The outdoor shower was wonderful. ##### dixierob R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd C.
