The road construction was loud and obnoxious but not your fault and even though they were to start work at 7 am the workers arrived at 6:30 am and had loud conversations before work.

Reviewer Comments: In looking for a beachside setting to enjoy the landscape of the Big Island, friends suggested Puako. It ended up being just what we were looking for: a quiet beachside town, easy walk to the water to swim/explore the life-filled shallows, convenient to shops/restaurants at Mauna Lani, and great base point for exploring Waimea and the rest of the Big Island. Condo was clean, bright, airy and comfortable. Quiet at night and during the day. Easy access to scuba, snorkeling, bike rental, walking/running and other outdoor activities. ##### Brian H.

There were absolutely no surprises other than the amazing view. The condo was as advertised and it was the catalyst for our amazing 11 days in Hawaii. Great location…close to a couple of beaches, Waimea, Kona and lots of attractions. If I could give 6 stars I would. We would most definitely book this spot on our return trip. ##### Tedd A.

Reviewer Comments: My wife and I enjoyed our recent stay in this condo. We had been before and were impressed with the recent upgrades. All of the descriptions and amenities were as advertised. The condo was immaculately clean when we arrived, and the property manager (2 Papayas) stayed in touch with us both before and during our stay. While I'd like to keep this place something of a secret, I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxed setting for their time on the Big Island. While there are plenty of beaches and other nearby attractions, be sure to just spend some time chilling on the lanai looking for rainbows and whales. ##### Michael B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia M. Dec 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Could Have Stayed Forever This unti is quiet and private with gorgeous views from a generous-sized lanai. It's also located a short stroll from one of the best beaches on the Big Island. Tradewinds sift through three sets of glass sliders protected by louvered doors and the garden area below is lined with bougainvillea and frangipani. The condo was scrupulously clean and included many welcoming touches such as cool, damp washcloths, a bouquet of white orchids, a furry throw on the sofa, room freshener spray in the bathrooms, an electric kettle in the kitchen as well as a coffeemaker, beach towels and snorkeling equipment and much more. The ladies at 2 Papayas were helpful above and beyond: when I asked about facilities for making Thanksgiving dinner, they provided a disposable roasting pan plus a turkey baster, holiday napkins and colorful pumpkin decorations. The kitchen cabinets were well-stocked with other cooking needs, and extra sheets, towels and blankets were in the closet. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the lanai while gazing at rolling ocean vistas was special. I slept to sea breezes and the should of waves -- and could easily have stayed there forever. ##### Patricia M. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dale F.

The beach was right across the street and we went on many walks. The view of the sunrise and sunset were incredible! The Puako boat ramp is close by to go on adventures with Adventure X company or a short walk to join Hawaii Surf and Kayak on their great trips! We enjoyed snorkeling with these companies. We also snorkeled on our on at the end of the road. We had to drive and park at the end of the Puako Beach road for snorkeling and beautiful views! The only issue we had was a few bugs and the tiniest ants if you even left a crumb on the counter… but bugs don’t bother us too much! Having no air conditioning was a little worrisome before we left, but the nice ocean breeze kept us cool enough the whole week!! We absolutely loved our stay here!!!!! ##### Jill G.

This is the first time we’ve stayed this far North and we really loved it. The Puako community was quaint, quiet and friendly. The condo is right next to the Puako General Store which offers lots of great food as well as beach rentals, like boogie boards, snorkeling and diving equipment. You’re only a few minutes drive from some of the best beaches in the state; Beach 69, Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beach. You can be in Waimea in 20 minutes for great dining and shopping. Exploring Western Kohala will take you to Kawaihae (some good food), Hawi (charming town on the North Shore) and the Pololu Valley (one of the more accessible valleys and one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii). A 10 minute drive South will take you to Mauna Lani (Foodland and shopping) and Waikaloa Beach (Queen’s Marketplace and Island Gourmet)...good food and shopping. The view from the condo is outstanding. Though not right on the beach, being on the top floor of the building provides a wonderful vantage. It’s a corner unit so you can watch the sunrise between Mauna Kea and Kohala and the sunset into the Pacific. Maui is looming majestically beyond Kohala and, when clear, seems very close. We loved just sitting on the lanai and enjoying the view. The condo was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed and we didn’t mind that there was no dishwasher. The furniture and beds were comfortable and, even though there is no AC, the cool trade winds and fans kept it comfortable. Some bugs are to be expected with no AC & windows open in the tropics. The 2Papaya team was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely rent from them again. ##### Jason L.
