Overall rating 5 STARS ~ This is our absolute favorite place to stay in Puako. We have been lucky enough to stay there twice now. Its been updated some since our last stay but has lost none of its charm. Highly recommend.

Our host was super responsive and gaining entry was very well organized - they even turned on lights for our late arrival.

Overall rating ~ 5 Stars! Words can't describe how perfect this house was. Everything was super clean & well stocked. The view of the ocean (and many, many whales!) was amazing. The neighborhood doesn't have street lights, so the night sky was filled with beautiful stars - and there were comfy lounge chairs for star gazing from the huge lanai. The garage had beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, floats, coolers) which was much appreciated. The beds were all comfortable and the house had 3 bedrooms that accommodated 3 couples just fine. All in all the place felt like home. I would book this house again for sure.

Very close to the oceannice access to sand beach and tide pools. The whole area was very well maintained and daytime walks on Puako Dr were nice with multiple water access sites. Condo was relaxing and quiet.

The team is great! We got a super quick response to an issue during our stay. After we returned home we realized that my husband accidentally left some clothes in the dresser. The team sent the items back to us. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

This is a really clean and nicely appointed unit. The location is great - the proximity to the Puako boat ramp provides access to great whale watching and snorkeling tours. Having a mom and pop convenience store next door is also a plus.

Hosts were very responsive when we had an issue with the door lock malfunctioning. They fixed the door quickly so we could continue enjoying our stay - which we did!

The kids loved the pool (it was especially nice to have a kiddie pool for our youngest one). We also loved walking across the road to Puako beach. We really enjoyed looking for interesting shells and creatures in all of the tide pools. Very short drive to the fantastic Hpuna Beach. A deal compared to most of the resorts in the area. We are already thinking about a return trip!

5 Stars! We loved the lanai with pool and hot tub! We spent most of our time outside enjoying the weather and watching all the whales! You are not close to a lot of things so if you dont like driving a lot this could be an issue but for us the view made up for that. Wed definitely stay here again!
