Ocean Front Estate, *Private Pool*, Exclusive Beach Frontage

Live the dream at this oceanfront gem, with wide beach frontage and an inviting courtyard pool that beckons you to experience the ultimate Hawaiian retreat in style. Kick off your shoes and step barefoot off your expansive covered lanai onto a sprawling oceanfront lawn, and soak in the postcard perfect views of the turquoise blue Pacific ocean, framed by swaying palm trees. Relax in the privacy of your Hawaiian “estate”, located at the highly desired end of Puako Beach Drive in one of the most unique beach communities on the Big Island. Puako is an iconic and vibrant seaside enclave that is both in very close proximity to the most acclaimed luxury resorts on the Big Island’s famed “gold coast”--while being nestled away from all the hustle and bustle. Time truly stands still in this dreamy slice of upscale vintage Hawaii charm, offering the opportunity to explore the extensive Puako reef and tidepools just footsteps from your door, swim in some of the best ocean swimming holes of all of the Big Island, or wander along the shoreline trails that easily connect you to Mauna Lani resort, or the nearby Paniau shoreline, a popular and much sought-after surf and dive spot. Puako is also a short and easy drive to Waimea—to experience the very best of cooler climate “upcountry life”, complete with a variety of shopping, dining and popular farmer’s market offerings.

Comfortable and well-appointed, the home is breezy, airy, full of natural light, an open floor plan that encourages interaction, and an oceanfront lanai that can be accessed from all communal living spaces and the master bedroom. Directly opposite of the lanai and through large sliding glass pocket doors that let you “bring the outside in”, one is afforded a view of the courtyard pool, and a lush tropically landscaped environment allows you to simultaneously enjoy the sights and scenery of the ocean, while still being in the midst of all activity within the household. The modern kitchen is spacious and stocked with thoughtful touches that make meal preparation and entertaining a chef’s dream. There are multiple dining area options and seating arrangements throughout the home to create truly special gathering spots for meals, table games, or just general socialization. The open concept living room and dining room feature finely crafted furniture made from exotic tropical woods, a wet bar and wine refrigerator, along with a variety of media options. Bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms and are situated away from central activity areas for maximum privacy and quietude. Two outdoor showers feature copper rain heads and lava rock walls —a distinctly Hawaiian and Big Island feature.

The home is an art lover's delight, showcasing the works of esteemed Hawaiian artists and artisans, an interesting assortment of artifacts, and a wide array of culturally topical books for your reading pleasure. Escape with a favorite book of your own, or simply enjoy the joys of playing in the pool or exploring the vast Puako reef system and tide pools.

Take advantage of this opportunity to share the owner's personal retreat, where care has been taken to enhance your comfort and anticipate your every need. The perfect tropical indoor/outdoor living environment, that's great for sharing with family, favorite friends, or your very special someone.

Stays over a week require an additional interim cleaning and approval from the homeowner.

The property is gorgeous, due to its location on the sea, its seclusion away from the large developments as well as the high quality of its equipment. Gregg was very responsive to our questions. Sadly, only one guest room is equipped with A/C. It is insufficient in the summer time. The beautiful master bedroom and the other guest room should definitely be equiped as well.

Paradise in Puako

Our family spent an incredible week at this beautiful property. Very private and beautiful setting. Owners were very communicative and helpful before we arrived. The kitchen was well appointed, and we took advantage of many of the recommendations left for us in the "Guest Book". This is a special place, and we felt the love and care of the family who shared with us. We hope to be back soon.

Here with a best friend who had never been to Hawaii. This rental was as nice as it ever could get, Magical and wowed. I wish all the bedrooms could have beach front views, but all rooms were nice-especially the living areas—stunning. I would totally rent again. This house is an oasis. Mahalo

perfect puako

we had a lovely stay here on puako. we are avid snorkelers and enjoyed the close proximity (two houses away) to easy water access. the home is beautifully appointed with an especially well stocked kitchen—you will not want for any cooking utensils. the layout provided our family of five with plenty of space to come together or have quiet space to yourself. if you are coming in the summer months, be prepared for the hot weather. holly, the property manager was close by and readily available for any needs we might have. all in all, a lovely stay. thank you.

How Soon Can We Return?

It was our first time visiting the Big Island. My husband and I loved being away from the major tourist areas like Kona, especially after coming from Maui. The house layout worked great for our family of 5. Our 13yo enjoyed staying in the room detached from the house. Everyone used the 2 outdoor showers bc you have total privacy, even though there are neighbors on each side and people that have access to the rocks/beach behind the house. Even though we visited the bigger/popular beaches, the kids enjoyed the beaches/tide pools right behind the house where we saw many turtles and the waves weren’t too strong to snorkel. The house is stocked with beach toys, bodyboards, chairs, umbrellas, coolers to borrow. It was great to be able to use washer/dryers. We have stayed at some incredible beach resorts and rentals, but the view and access to the ocean does not compare! Being able to fall asleep and wake up listening to the ocean in your backyard is unbelievable. We didn’t see any whales from the backyard, but we were told you can. If it was easier to come from Texas, we would love to return to this island and specifically this rental annually. For now we just hope to come back one day!

Beautiful Stay!

Our family of four stayed at this home for a week. Everything about the property is lovely! Amazing location, terrific kitchen to cook, great area to lounge. Puako is a delightful neighborhood. This home is clean and spacious and the hosts are easy to get a hold of if you need them. We did not want to leave and we would definitely return.

Great stay

My family and I (husband and 3 kids) had a wonderful stay. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We did lots while doing nothing. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. There is a small general store in the same road, which was convenient. There are multiple public access points to the ocean, if you want sand. We got to see sea turtles multiple times right off the back yard, which was a dream come true. Definitely recommend staying here.

The best of the Big Island in a house.

We have three teenagers from 13 to 18 years old. The two youngest bunked together in the office bedroom and the oldest in the attached queen room (with its own entrance and AC). We had the master, and everyone was happy. The pool and outdoor showers were also crucial to everyone’s happiness—we swam daily, several times a day. Even in beach days. Especially on beach days! The house is as well appointed as it gets. Everything is labeled, and the management is super responsive without being intrusive. In short, we had the best time and definitely hope to return.

comfortable home, amazing spot

My family and I really enjoyed the home. The owner was very responsive, the check in process was easy and we appreciated all of the extra info about fun things to do around the island when we checked in. The location right on the water made for some magical sunset views and our kids went out to the tidepools beyond the yard every day to see what was there. The tide pools did not disappoint - we frequently saw sea turtles, eels and whales off the coast. We would definitely come back. The unit did not have air conditioning but this was not a problem for us because there are a ton of windows that let in great breezes day and night and listening to the sound of the ocean was amazing.
