Take a look at our Big Island Vacation Rentals!

Our Aloha Spirit combined with our expertise and professionalism is what we are most proud of! We want to offer you the experience of a lifetime whether you want simple accommodations or are dreaming of a luxury ocean front home for your visit to the Big Island!

The Island of Hawaii, more commonly known as the Big Island because of the dramatic scope and size is nearly twice the size of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined. You will find all but two of the world's climatic zones within this island's shores.

We offer unique private Big Island Homes and Condos Vacation Rentals from Kona to Hawi along the majestic Kohala Coast, as well as other remarkable areas of the Big Island of Hawaii. Many of these homes are situated on the same shoreline as several luxury resort hotels including the luxurious Four Seasons at Hualalai, Mauna Lani Resort, Hilton Waikola Village, Mauna Kea Resort, Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort, Kohala Waterfront, Kohala Ranch and of course the unique ocean front community of Puako and Waialea Bay Hawaii. These resorts afford you world-class golf and tennis along with excellent shopping, dining and recreational facilities.

The Big Island of Hawai'i, which is bigger than all of the other islands combined, still has the true authentic feel of old Hawaii. Unlike the other more developed islands in the chain, the Big Island feels primordial and wild. And for health-conscious travelers, adventure loving enthusiasts, and romantic traveling, Hawai'i is a favorite. Activities like hiking, kayaking, deep sea fishing, diving and snorkeling play a big part in local life, which is primarily lived outdoors in the warm but trade wind-cooled breezes. If you're looking for a low-key, outdoorsy holiday in Hawaii, the Big Island is the tropical sanctuary you seek.

Many of you may know us from our 17 years of having had our office located in Puako, next to the M's Puako General Store.

The translation of Puako is literally "sugar cane blossom" Pua (blossom) and Ko (sugar cane). The area was settled by the Hawaiians, who established several small fishing villages along the coast. Puako has a rich history of petroglyph art. Access to the Puako Petroglyphs is easy through the Mauna Lani Resort near Paniau Beach Park at the end of Puako Beach Drive.

The Polynesians first spoke of a mystical island paradise to the North called Hawaii or "Hawa'i." When they finally set foot on Hawaii's Big Island around A.D. 600, they discovered an enormous, lush land mass, with thousand-foot waterfalls, thriving reefs, fertile valleys, and volcanoes exploding with red lava.
