PUAKO BEACH ON THE SAND! Infinity POOL and Feel of Old Hawaii!

Hale Nana Kohola (Whale Watch House) Located in the heart of Puako, offers a tropical retreat that showcases the best of Hawaii and is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. Escape to the sunny Kohala Coast on the Island of Hawaii. Hawaii's perfect year-round weather allows for your endless summer. Puako is one of the sunniest spots in all Hawaii. This tropical paradise meets the blue Pacific ocean. Hale Nana Kohola frames Haleakala, Maui's highest peak directly from the gorgeous lanais across the reflective HEATED infinity swimming pool.

Hale Nana Kohola is located on one of the most unique spots in all of Hawaii!! Puako is a quiet cul-de-sac street about 3 miles long. Puako is only one of two beachfront communities on a not a through street in all of Hawaii. Puako Beach has an old Hawaiian ambiance. Our entire community is a tropical paradise with only one access. There is only a handful of true beachfront vacation rentals in Puako Beach and Hale Nana Kohola ( the whale watch house) is one of the few.

Swim in the 360° infinity edge heated pool while overlooking the gorgeous lava and coral reef a few feet away.

We offer kayaking, snorkeling and stand-up paddling just steps from the lanai. All of the equipment is provided when you stay at our luxury vacation home!

You feel thoroughly at home, and completely at your best with every imaginable amenity. Designed to inspire, its beauty and connects you with the surrounding environment.

'Hale Nana Kohola' (the Whale watch House) is over 7000 sq ft under roof of architectural masterpiece on the beach in beautiful Puako. Several lanais to lounge around on when you're not at the beach. Kayaking and snorkeling only steps away in pristine clear coral reefs where Humpback whales come to breed.

Our home offers 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms with their own baths, a media room with a bath, an open living, dining and gourmet kitchen area with cathedral ceilings that opens to a huge covered lanai adjacent to the 46' 360 degree infinity pool. Each bedroom, the living and media room, each have a large flat screen TV complete with an advanced audio system. Great care was taken with the landscape, creating a beautiful palm tree oasis on the ocean side. This gorgeously designed home is topped off with a 3rd story 'whale watch' retreat that offers 360 degree view. New mattresses and luxurious bedding in all master and guest bedrooms (Oct 2023).

The swimming pool has direct access from the first floor. For children are not water safe it is recommended that they wear a life vest when in the vicinity of the pool.
Hale Nana Kohola has hosted numerous birthday, anniversary and other family reunions for the past 10 years. Our house is constantly being upgraded and is in pristine condition. The Hawaiian Polynesian design has a couple of thousand square feet of lanais for amazing indoor and outdoor living.
.
Our media room is equipped with luxury chairs and a full bath for ‘overflow’ guests. There is also a Queen Murphy bed in the media room, which converts to the fifth bedroom.

Great care has been taken with the landscape of our beach house vacation rental, creating a beautiful Hawaiian oasis including a hammock stretched between two palms ocean side. This home is one of the few in Puako with a sandy beach right in front complete with the protected ‘lava reef pools’ for your little ones. The ancient Hawaiians have named one of the pools in front of Hale Nana Kohola the “Queens Bath”.

This gorgeously designed luxury vacation rental home is topped off with a 3rd story “whale watch” retreat that offers 360-degree views across the land and ocean from the sunrise over Mauna Kea to the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. One of the rituals at Hale Nana Kohola is watching the sunset from the chairs on the beach. And amazing sunsets they are!

Enjoy the coral reefs where Humpback whales come to breed and give birth, from December to April. The sea turtles reside year round.

Still fantastic with new owners
This was our fourth visit to the house and first time with the new owners. We were glad to see all the old charms remain and everything has been kept in good condition. The yard felt more open and spacious with some of the foliage trimmed back, so our boys were able to enjoy a lot of soccer and frisbee. The well-stocked kitchen is huge and was able to accommodate all our cooking. We always talk about taking excursions on the Big Island, but once we're there, the house is so wonderful, we never want to leave.

Perfect Thanksgiving Vacation
Our entire family enjoyed the house, pool, beach and yard. Lots of lounging space and water toys to entertain young and old. The large and well equipped kitchen made cooking easy and family friendly. We would definitely like to come back.

Truly and amazing place
The property was just amazing. It exceeded expectations. The privacy of the property was perfect for our family of 10. Allowed for us to swim whenever we wanted, enjoy the sunsets from the beach, and lots of family dinners at the outdoor dining area. Highly recommend

Family retreat in paradise
Pictures do not do this stunning house and location justice. The Jenny House does not disappoint. This is my 3rd visit and I really hope it won’t be the last. To arrive is to instantly relax and feel the Aloha spirit move you. Thanks for a truly restorative and fun filled week.

Nice Property
Some distance from the main city and shopping. The beach was somewhat rocky with not a very good place to swim. The bed in the master bedroom needs to be replaced. The bed slops down to a point where you almost fall off. Also, I woke up was a sore back every morning. The house is perfect for a large family, particularly with children.

Not a great rental
You can not swim in the ocean as the beach is full of rocks and reef. The house has poor lighting, the cook top is antiquated. The TV’s need 3 remotes to operate so it is very difficult to turn on and see cable and or Apple TV. There is no central air. The sink in the powder room is broken. There are ants everywhere.

Absolutely amazing
From the minute we booked our stay to the minute we left, the communication between Owner and concierge was amazing and instant replies. We were greeted at the home when we arrived by Nikki and she took care of all our needs plus 24/7 for emergencies which thankfully there were none. The house was totally stocked with plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, all essentials, plus anything thing for outdoor play. The website is totally correct on the toys they have for you. Instructions on how to use everything were all very easy to follow. The views from every room in the house are all amazing. We hope to come back someday in the near future
