Awesome cottage

We have stayed at a few different places in Puako and we found our favorite for sure. We loved the layout of the cottage and it was very clean and secluded. It was stocked with everything that we needed and enjoyed our stay. David was an excellent host and was there to help whenever we needed it. We plan on returning next year to stay here again.

PUAKO 1940's Vintage Beach Cottage - Amazing!

We had an amazing stay here! It was exactly as advertised and even better. The cottage is charming and full of character, offering the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is ideal—peaceful, beautiful, and just steps away from the beach. We can't wait to come back the next time we're on the Big Island!

Another perfect week!

This was our second time staying here. It really felt like home away from home. David even got bikes out for us so we could ride in the quiet neighborhood! There are beach accesses with beautiful coast lines right across the street. We are 5 minutes drive from Hapuna beach. David and Kim have everything you need for staying at the beach. We’ll definitely stay there again! Thanks for your hospitality, David and Kim!

David is the perfect host, made you feel like the space was yours as much as it is his. Very well equipped, lanai was spacious and beyond comfortable. The outside shower is a must! Would stay here again without hesitation. Little little was a pleasure to meet!

Pauko

We had a wonderful stay. Home was clean and in a great location. Many beach entry points up and down the street. So far this has been our favorite place to stay. Best part is walking down to one of the many beach entry points to watch the sun set. Lots of places to snorkel too. Loved our time on the Big Island. Lots to do just a drive away. David and Kim were wonderful. You’ll have to ask about Little Little and Radiant!

Perfect cottage close to the best beaches

My teens and I had the best time at Kim and David's. David met us on our first night and regaled us with stories and information about the property. We explored the area on the bikes that came with the cottage which is one of my favourite ways to discover a new place. We used the boogie boards and beach gear, that were also complimentary, to go to Hapuna which was a highlight of our trip and so much fun. Not only was there so much to see and do in around Puako, the cottage was so cute and creatively decorated it felt good to come back to. I would love to stay here again as it had everything I’d need, it was so clean and did not smell of must or mold which is a big deal for people like me with asthma.
