Lovely beach house

We wanted a change from our holiday beach home in Kona so we rented this lovely beach house in Puako. We enjoyed a wonderful family Christmas here. The house is spacious, beautifully designed, comfortable, and there was every amenity we could have wanted. Highly recommended!

Beachfront paradise

This place has it all. Everything you need. Chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, surfboards, kayaks, fins, and even stuff you didn’t know you would need. Kitchen is well stocked and the host is great. Snorkel right outside your back yard and see turtles, sea urchins, parrot fish etc

Beautiful home in great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great home. The beach is steps away and we were blessed with basking turtles every day. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, including a nice selection of herbs and seasonings. The beds are great and bathrooms were perfect. As a plus, there are ample beach toys, chairs, towels. We highly recommend this getaway.

Big Island Vaca

My family has traveled extensively and we always have a lovely time. This home and location stand out as simply perfect. The location is stunning in private, but close to amenities, restaurants and tourist destinations on the big island if desired, we would love to stay here again, and we rarely say that as there’s so many places to go and see, thank you so much for sharing your lovely home

Serene beautiful property

A quiet and gorgeously appointed house in a quiet and beautiful area. House was clean and well appointed. A lovely deck facing the ocean was a wonderful spot to eat our home cooked meals. We enjoyed the little ‘pool’ made up of a natural lava flow and the snorkeling just beyond. The owner Nancy was gracious and accommodating. All in all a wonderful property and location.

Beautiful Pauko Oceanfront Home

We loved our stay at the Pauko Beach House! The house was clean and comfortable and the ocean views were incredible. There is excellent snorkeling in front of the home. We enjoyed wildlife watching from the wrap-around deck. Nancy and Greg provide complimentary 100% Kona coffee from their son's Keopu coffee plantation. Wonderful!

The Property Photo is Spot On

The property is in a great location for soaking the water and snorkeling. The house is elevated allowing for a great view and the house lay-out is excellent. There lower level has many of the things necessary for the water like water shoes, snorkels, floaties, life preservers, and a propane grill for cooking. The neighborhood is isolated and quiet from road noise and other noises. Two excellent beaches nearby. Highly recommend this property.

Amazing beach house

The house exceeded all of our expectations. It is beautiful, perfectly laid out and fully stocked for a relaxing or activity filled vacation. We took advantage of snorkel gear, beach supplies, puzzles and board games. We also had no problem cooking a small Thanksgiving dinner in the well-appointed kitchen. The backyard beach is the real draw though. We spent ours beach combing and swimming in the tidal pond. There is wonderful snorkel right there as well, but it can be a bit tricky to access due to the surf and reefs. However, with some effort we managed it with our two children under 11. Perhaps our favorite part of the beach was the green sea turtles who visited every evening. They made the place feel pretty magical. Although we really didn’t need anything, Nancy was very communicative and helpful. We hope to return to her lovely property again someday!

Thoughtfully Designed

This is a very thoughtfully designed, practical family beach house with outdoor entries to both inside showers (plus an outdoor shower). The house is on the second level, built on stilts for views and storm protection, making space underneath for storage, ping pong and BBQ. The master K and second bedroom Q are separated by the main living space and there is an extra space next to he second bedroom that worked well for two children. The only thing that might bother some Puako aficionados would be the thick hedge that separates the house from the beach giving privacy and some protection from high surfs, but obscuring views of the beach. Water and sky are clear, above the hedge. Despite sun setting far to the South, green light sighted!
