2 bedroom home minutes to world class beaches, surf, scuba, snorkeling & golf!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach-facing property. The location was fantastic, with gorgeous views and easy access to the beach. The property was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and everything we needed was provided. Waking up to the ocean view every morning was definitely a highlight. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Whale's Tail - 3BR Beachfront Home in Magical Puako! Steps to the ocean!

10/10 Excellent

"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: Amazing home- phenomenal beach and coral reef to snorkel. We really appreciated all of the water, shoes and snorkels that were available. We saw sea turtles, colorful, fish, and so many other sea wildlife animals while we were there. The house itself is gorgeous and extremely well taken care of. Super well organized kitchen. It was our favorite place out of the four places we stayed on vacation in Hawaii."

Private Puako Home - NO shared walls! Full Mauna Kea Views & Steps to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"What an exceptional place! We had such a magical time. We stayed as a family of four including our kids ages 9 and 3. We all loved being able to walk right across the street to the gorgeous ocean and see the sea turtles eating in the tide pools. I even came across a monk seal sleeping on the beach - (and gave it plenty of space). The kids especially loved the backyard and we all enjoyed the swing so much! From the unobstructed views of Mauna Kea to the star gazing, it’s a lovely property you can enjoy at all times of the day or night and we made sure to do so. The furnishings are beautiful and the home was very clean. Everything we possibly needed was there, and the outdoor shower was a huge plus. This home made our 30th anniversary vacation so special! Thank you so much the lovely stay!"

'My Favorite Place on Earth'

10/10 Excellent

"My Favorite Place on earth is an idyllic spot for two people. The views are stunning, the sound of waves lulling you to sleep are peaceful, and waking up to a small, but well appointed kitchen to cook breakfast before sightseeing is a plus. Our stay was lovely and a great blend of restful and active days. Our favorite was driving less than 2 miles north to snorkel at Hapuna Beach where there is an abundance of colorful fish to see. We also loved seeing the turtles on the reef right behind the house.We spent most of our time at the house on the lanai watching the waves. There is no air conditioning, but the trade winds kept us comfortable for all but two afternoons. Sleeping with the fans on and the windows open was a must for us and kept us quite comfortable. We would definitely come back to what is now our favorite place on earth and happily recommend it to anyone considering a Big Island vacation."

OCEANFRONT PUAKO HAWAII LUXURY VILLA STEPS TO HAWAII'S BEST SNORKEL & SCUBA REEF

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay overall and would absolutely recommend this property. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house itself is spacious, well maintained, and perfect for families or groups. The bedrooms are all generously sized with excellent air conditioning—it almost felt like having three primary suites plus a great kids' room. The kitchen was also very well equipped and had everything we needed for cooking meals. One thing we overlooked when booking was that the pool is actually more of a spool—it's only about 20" deep. That was on us for not reading the listing more carefully, but it's worth mentioning for anyone expecting a traditional swimming pool.Despite these minor inconveniences, we had a great vacation. The home is beautiful, the location is hard to beat, and with a few maintenance improvements, it would be an exceptional place to stay."
