Hale Aloha is an oceanfront private retreat located in the magical neighborhood of Puako, next to Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. Puako is one of the sunniest destinations in Hawaii with a unique blend of old Hawaii charm and pristine coastline. Each day is filled with the sound of the sea, coconut trees swaying in the tropical breeze and the beauty of Hawaii. You share the ocean with sea turtles, humpback whales, and play on an oceanfront rich with sea life. Your day ends with one of the most stunning sunsets in the world! Typical of the beachfront homes that have made Puako so beloved, Hale Aloha is ideal for one or two couples or a family who appreciates a sense of place in a perfectly maintained Hawaiian-style beach house. With 120 feet of ocean frontage, this property is perfect for lounging and enjoying the sunshine and ocean air. Ocean access is adjacent to Hale Aloha and offers an ideal location to go fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddling. Hale Aloha was built in the 1950's, and was completely renovated in 2014 without losing its Old Hawaiian charm. The fun and playful decor with plantation doors, wood louver windows, and hardwood laminate floors is a tropical retreat! There is a private guest cottage on the property which is rented separately - VRBO684722 The living room is completely open to the tropical breezes with large pocket sliding doors and screens leading to a large lanai with outdoor dining and BBQ. Each bedroom features California King Tempur-Pedic beds with high quality bedding. Living room sofa opens to queen bed. A laundry room with full size stacking Kenmore Elite washer and dryer is included. The warm ocean is your swimming pool. Protected and only 2-5 feet deep with a mostly sandy bottom, it is home to green sea turtles and colorful fish. Just beyond the reef-protected lagoon is the best snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking in Hawaii. In low tide, the tidal pools will inspire, in January through May, you can watch the humpback whales play and breach. Morning walks along the two-lane Puako Beach Drive will find you at Puako's famous ancient Hawaiian rock carvings, the largest example of Petroglyphs in the world.

Beautiful sunsets, big sky stars and just a nice place to chill with family.Short drive to many very nice beaches. Good snorkeling just 100 yards to North that others drive to scuba so they can dive it from the public access. Just swim out to the white buoy and be in 30’ of water beyond the breakers. You’ll probably see manta rays. ##### Jeff J. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom A.

This is an older home but well kept in a stunning direct oceanfront setting. You can walk the beach and the protected tide pools offer great snorkeling. We enjoyed the abundance of wildlife including countless turtles resting and snorkeling with them was something we will always remeber. The whale watching from this home is incredible. The last night we were there we witnessed a mother whale and her baby both breaching just on the other side of the reef directly in front of us. There was plenty of beach gear for the five of us. We have stayed in over a dozen different locations on the Big Island and this setting cannot be beat. We already have reservations for next year here. ##### Sandy S.

What a cute old Hawaiian beach house, it fit our needs wonderfully. The hide a bed isn’t super comfortable, we put the kids on it. They were also paving on front of the house 4 out of the 5 days we were there but we understand that is not something that the owners have any control over. We loved this beach house and would definitely return, maybe with 4 people instead of 5\. The bikes were an added bonus to ride up and down Puako beach rd ##### Jennifer B.

Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous vacation! I have stayed in Puako at various cottages for 22 years. Many have been torn down. This house is just perfect size, neat and clean and everything is provided for. Three of us stayed in comfort. It even has a newer washer and dryer too. The view is priceless and, as always, Puako is beautiful. We fed the birds and they had a wonderful time too! Thank you! I hope it is available during whale season next year! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### shannon l. Apr 8, 2022 Liked: Communication #### Sad Have stayed at this sweet place, now, three times. It has gone from a charming/quirky cabin w/ a pretty view to rough living w/ a pretty view. New owners as of a couple years ago and seems no decision has been made about tear/ down/rebuild or continue renting and fixing a couple things. For us, we have secured an alternative property for a month in 2022 and would recommend doing the same while letting the chips fall where they may awaiting owner decision moving forward..... am available to owner/management with my suggestions if anyone wants input.... ##### shannon l.
