Beach house vacation rentals in Puako

This house was in a beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds. it was very well maintained and comfortable. The house has lots of basics in the pantry and condiments. We loved watching sunset from the lanai through the trees or walking 50 ft to the Pier for a Bayside view (with dolphins often making an appearance). Excellent snorkeling at nearby Manini Beach Park (some of us jumped in at the Pier, too) and by kayak at the Cook Monument across the Bay, or at 2-Step, a 5 minute drive down the road. The AC was good but not usually necessary with great ventilation and fans. The bugs are definitely hoping for snacks, so vigilance to keep a tidy house is crucial (but this is to be expected and wasn't a problem). Dawn was very responsive to a few small problems, and when we couldn't get the dryer to work she had a neighbor offer his so we could finish in time to check out (the dryer was a smart dryer and it out smarted us). We really appreciated how Dawn responded so quickly and helpfully!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. We very much enjoyed our visit. Thank you

Such a special place to wake up in - right on the water with snorkelling & a surf break just there. My three kids loved their bunk room and being right on the water. Heidi was amazing and endlessly helpful. If you don't want a resort in this area and appreciate good old school Hawaii - this is the place for you.

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

What a wonderful place to land after being out having adventures! Within walking distance of fabulous beaches, a local shopping center and terrific food. Our hosts were fantastic- quick to respond to questions and full of spot-on recommendations. Their home is a gem. Beautiful on the inside and the outside with a neat layout and a divine screened in lanai. Sijie and Zhe thought of all of the things that people might need/want when Airbnb-ing. I was seriously impressed. All of the beach & snorkel gear, beach towels, water shoes and chairs that they provided were invaluable. Great kitchen for making food at “home” and close to a large grocery store and lots of yummy restaurants nearby. It’s a quiet neighborhood nestled close to the water and surrounded by plumeria, hibiscus and all sorts of greenery. We had a delightful time during our 7 day stay in Kona at Zhe and Sijie’s lovely abode.

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

We throughly enjoyed our stay! Pictures simply do not do justice to the stunning views and gorgeous sunsets!! The home is spacious, extremely comfortable, well stocked, and the big island decor was perfect!! Would recommend without hesitation and hope to return again soon.

The perfect place to launch all our adventures. Central to every activity we planned on the Island. The spectacular sunsets were a great way to end each day. Super quiet except for the crashing waves! When we return, this will be our first choice to spend the nights.

We had a great stay in Hawaii. The condo was clean and well stocked. We had a few minor issues during our stay but Kristina was extremely responsive and resolved our issues. The property is so beautiful and quiet - very family friendly. It was super nice to have the wagon, boogie boards and cooler during our stay. The back patio was delightful. Would definitely recommend.

Lee’s home is perfect in every way imaginable. Our family of four had a spectacular vacation. We are already planning our next stay.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lennis’s space, along with her thoughtfulness to the space and a being a great host. Her space is very airy, clean, and so many thoughtful details. Such as, beach accessories, many bathroom and kitchen necessities. I stay in a lot of home rentals, and I am really happy when there are items left behind for others to use, like spices, oils, condiments, and there were here. Lennis’s place was our shortest accommodation of our Hawai’i visit(unfortunately), so we didn’t have time to enjoy the pool( which is just a couple of steps away). There are so many flowers and plants on the grounds. We loved that the parking was right in front. It was nice that the condo is a single level apartment. Also, the front porch is lovely, I wouldn’t say it’s very private, but we are city people, so I didn’t mind. And it is not an active road. Stay here!

Perfect location to enjoy Big Island. All necessary items in this facility.

Our stay in Kona was absolutely amazing! The Airbnb was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to ocean views and enjoying coffee on the lanai was unforgettable. The location was perfect—close to beaches, shops, and great restaurants, but still peaceful and private. Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making sure we felt right at home. We’d return in a heartbeat. Mahalo for an unforgettable stay!

This was perfect for our family vacation with our adult children! We loved having morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the golf course while watching the sunrise over the mountain. The beautifully landscaped community is pristine and offers well maintained amenities. The pickleball/tennis courts and one of the swimming pools are just steps from the front door, but it was so quiet and peaceful. The townhouse was ideal, VERY comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully outfitted for our family to cook meals together. The lanai was also ideal for hanging out, reading and playing games in the evenings after days of activities. We also appreciated Jeff had nice quality beach chairs and snorkeling equipment available for our days at the beach. Perfect distance from downtown Kona, kayaking & snorkeling excursions and variety of activities. Jeff and Allison were great about providing suggestions. I would absolutely recommend!

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It’s very comfortable, large, spacious for a group. We had kids in our group and they loved the outdoor pool area. While at home, we spent majority of our time around the pool area. Noelani provided us with beach chairs, towels, umbrella which was perfect to take to the beaches around us. Would highly recommend this beautiful property!

We stayed in the apartment with four people (two couples). The accommodation is exactly as described. We felt completely at ease and the communication was great. The fantastic sunset from the terrace was a particular highlight. The whole of Kona and the surrounding area is easily accessible by car. We would love to come back. Thank you!

The house is amazing and was extremely clean. We appreciated Alan's instructions and notebook. He covered everything so we didn't have to contact him after we arrived. It was very peaceful and a perfect location for our stay on the Big Island. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us, Alan!

Great space for my wife and I and our four adult children. Loved the ability to walk to bay to paddle board. Kona country club golf was 5 minutes away and a fantastic experience for me and my two sons. AC in the house worked extremely well. Pool was a popular afternoon spot. Wi-Fi was good and helped for the unfortunate times I had to log into work. Close to grocery store and restaurants. Overall a great home base for exploring the Big Island!

Our stay was incredible. They had everything you could want or need. Beach umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, water shoes, sand toys and so many beach towels. Our large group was comfortable and the home was spacious with many lovely outdoor areas to enjoy. We had the most wonderful relaxing stay and would recommend this home to anyone.

Kai’s place was a sanctuary for peace and relaxation. The lanai is so expansive and equipped with custom made screens which pull in a beautiful breeze and keep the mosquitoes out. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom is updated and the rain shower head is exactly what you need every morning and or night. I cannot say enough about the gorgeous birds that come daily for the birdbath. You will wake to the sounds of rolling water and songbirds at sunrise. Also there is a very entertaining hen that runs around the property and the geckos will keep you company as well. The mango orchard is expansive and beautiful. And the gas grill is great for a cookout. I would come back to visit Kai‘s place in a heartbeat. If you are seeking solitude, peace, and beautiful woodsy surroundings, this place is for you. Kai is such an excellent host, you’ll be glad you chose this gem of a cottage!

Chelsea was out of town yet was immediately responsive to messages dealing with a couple of minor glitches; it helped that the owner lives nearby. Place overall was great. Lack of air conditioning (it was not hot, but the upstairs did warm up in the April afternoons) was offset by the private pool, a better way to cool off than by refrigerating the house. Nice layout for two couples, one upstairs with the larger bedroom and large en suite bath, the other downstairs with two smaller bedrooms and a bath, so we each had good private space. Only drawback was the downstairs rooms seemed a bit enclosed, although all had windows. Nice large lanai and the landscaping around the pool made it feel especially private. Be sure to investigate the pantry and shelves before shopping...the place was very well supplied when we arrived. We would definitely stay again if we're in Kona!

Location is flawless, right by the water. Property is right next to a wonderful bar and restaurant, as well as White Sands Beach.

Great place! Extremely well stocked.

Amazing place to stay in Kona area. This was the best Airbnb house we’ve ever stayed at. Stunning views, beautiful garden, super well stocked kitchen. We really loved the open air concept. The beds were really comfortable and the house was very clean. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and other gear. We had a 10 month old along and Todd made sure we had everything needed for him. The house is very convenient for exploring the Kona side with numerous restaurants, grocery stores, and beaches close by. We would definitely stay here again.
