Nice condo, close to the water

We enjoyed 4 nights in this condo. The condo was clean and neat, with lots of room for our 4 person group. The balcony had a great view of the water. It was a great base from which to explore the Waimea area and the Northwest coast. It was driving, not walking, distance to restaurants and other touristy activities. The Managers were very good and helpful and friendly.

We’ve stayed in Puako condos many times, dating back to the 70’s when my parents stayed here. This unit was very nice. We were happy to see that Sarah, the resident manager, is still here. She does an awesome job.

Beautiful location and views!

Couldn’t ask for a better location to stay, close to beautiful beaches and snorkeling. Gorgeous views from unit! Unit had everything we needed as far as kitchen, etc……would have given five stars if A/C in bedroom was better. Unit in living area was fine but bedroom’s a/c was very loud. Better to leave all windows open to cross ventilate.

Great location!

We had a great time staying in Puako. The property is immediately across the street from a public beach which was perfect for all many water activities. We enjoyed walking around looking at the tide pools, turtles, sunsets and stars at night. We seldom saw many people on this beach except for sunset, it felt somewhat private. We could have spent more time at this beach but spent much of our time swimming and boogie boarding 5 minutes away at Hapnua. Our condo was clean, suited two couples well and had nearly everything that one would need including kitchen, bath supplies, and beach gear (boogie boards, umbrella, towel mats, cooler, etc). The property was well maintained and had beautiful plumeria all around! The general store next door was very convenient as this location is removed from the busier resort areas nearby (which we preferred, it was nice and quiet). We would happily stay here again!

Quiet and serene, excellent location!

We totally enjoyed our visit to the beach condo 403. The view was to die for! No need for AC, the breezes were pleasing and relaxing. The lushly landscaped grounds harbored many interesting bird species. The condo was fully equipped and met all of our needs. We used the kitchen 8/11 nights, and never wanted for anything. At night, great care has been taken to maintain dim lighting and you can really enjoy the stars. No light pollution!! Location was a huge plus for visiting nearby resorts for beaches, snorkeling, and luau. Waikoloa Village is 9 miles away and has the best grocery store. Hilo is easily accessed via the saddle road and had best gas prices. Overall, I would skip Kona and stay in Puako every time! Definitely recommend this condo!!!

In a quiet neighborhood with views to the beach and near Hapuna beach. 6 adults accommodated very well. The building is older build but the apartment was clean. Has beach chairs and umbrella. The snorkeling equipment was not functioning. You will enjoy your stay.

Perfect

This condo in Puako is exactly what we were looking for. Puako is one of few villages centrally located on the Kohala/Kona coast, and the condo itself is conveniently situated between the little general store on one side and a beach access of the other. The 4th floor condo has a view - both mauka and makai - of all the Hawai`i Island volcanoes, plus Haleakala across the channel on Maui. It is clean, well-equipped and spacious, AC if you want it and trade winds if you don't. Unlike some rentals that claim to "sleep 6" (on the couch etc) this one actually does. The hosts and the condo managers are responsive and helpful. In short, perfect.

Perfect spot for a quiet getaway

If you’re looking for a spot that’s quiet and peaceful, Puako is perfect. This condo was right next to the local market, so perfect for grabbing a six pack and sandwiches for the beach. We walked across the street for sunset and to explore tide pools in the morning. Saw dozens of turtles. Five-minute drive to beach 69, hapuna beach, and Mauna Kea beach. We will be back!

Great place, poor check in communication

Did not receive any info for check in. Was lucky that I had rented a condo from another private person so was familiar with the condo. Arrived at condo and tracked down a manager after 30 minutes. She was not a manager for the unit we had but was able to get us in. Finally spoke to someone from rental company who kept saying this never happened. Not helpful. A few days later the battery went out on the exterior door lock. I had to cancel plans for the afternoon to wait for a repairman to replace since we were unable to secure the unit. A female manager checked in with us and offered us a gift certificate to dinner after that. I appreciated this. Especially after feeling like the other fellow I spoke to should have long before that. For the price of the unit- none of this should have happened. The unit itself was lovely.

Great place to stay!

This spacious, clean condo is in a great location: quiet, residential (what we were looking for) but centrally located on the coast so that we were able to explore other areas easily by car if we wanted to. Beach access is across the road and easy to get to and there is a pool as well on the property. The condo had all we needed for a great stay---the kitchen was spotless and had all dishes/utensils needed. We wished we could have stayed longer and enjoyed waking up each day to the views from our lanai. Thank you for a great stay!

Easy and comfortable holiday with family

We really enjoyed our stay at the Puako condo over the Christmas holiday week. Traveling with children and grandparents, the condo was well-suited for all. The interior is nicely furnished and has a view of the ocean-- even if you have to overlook the parking lot (; The kitchen was efficient and well-equipped to cook any meal. The general store, located next-door, is great for last minute needs and ready-to-go food for the beach. Coming back to Puako after our daily adventures was a welcome, relaxing way to end the day. We would definitely stay again if given the opportunity to return!

Feels brand new and the views are great!

Our family of 4 found this property to be more than expected. Although the Puako Condo is an older building, it is very well maintained and the tropical gardens all around made coming home from our beach outings even more welcoming. This top floor unit offers everything you might want and it was less than the cost of a hotel room! Our daughter had the bedroom in the back with a king size bed, our son took the twin bedroom in the back. They shared the bathroom in the hall with the twin beds. My husband and I had the ocean facing bedroom and used the other bathroom adjacent to it. Although we were very active and out seeing the island, we tried to get home every evening for the amazing sunsets and prepare a meal in the wonderful kitchen. Our dinners were typically outside on the lanai facing the ocean. Our children would often time go down to the pool in the early evening or they walked across the street to the beach while were prepared dinner. It was just a fabulous vacation for us and we would love to return next year!
