Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Puako

Great location, beautiful views, clean house. My 3 yr old loved the little lizards around the property The sound of the birds chirping was peaceful & puts you right to sleep Lots of beach supplies to borrow and numerous towels

Melissa's place was perfect for our stay. Her place was very clean and felt like home. Location was very convenient.

Overall, I was very satisfied. First, Joseph welcomed us very kindly and explained things to us kindly. Second, the living room and kitchen were clean. Third, the bedroom and bathroom were also clean and well organized. A place I look forward to visiting again next year.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and well-maintained home. The ocean view from the balcony was stunning, and the house was tidy and comfortable. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly, making the experience smooth from start to finish. It’s a great base for exploring the island—just keep in mind that having a car is essential. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

We had a wonderful 7 day stay. Our 3 boys (16, 13, and 10) spent hours on the diving board and in the pool. Sandra’s place had everything we needed for beach trips, including beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and beach towels. I was so happy to have a washing machine to wash out the sandy towels and suits after our beach trips. It was a 5-10 minute trip for Costco,-target and Walmart and a 30-40 minute trip to Hāpuna Beach (don’t miss the Malsada stand on the highway on your way). We would come back to the house to cook supper, swim more in the pool, and watch the sunset from the beautiful yard. We also got a lot of use out of the basketball net in the driveway, and volleyball net in the side yard. Sandra was extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay, including local recommendations. Would definitely stay again if on the Big Island!

Wonderful place for our several days there. Fantastic view and very spacious. Several restaurants were in town. Waimea had few tourists but still was close to several small out-of-the-way towns we otherwise would not have thought of to visit.

Panoramic view was so nice and the location was good to travel around. Kids loved toys and sauces on the pantry and papaya from the tree on the house was amazing. My family had a pleasant time there, everything was peaceful and enjoyable. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Gorgeous sunrise views of Mauna Kea and a peaceful secluded setting!

We really enjoyed Kathy’s condo. It was close to all of our snorkeling tours. Kathy is a very responsive host and gave great recommendations for food and activities. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Our stay was prefect and incredibly peaceful! it felt like staying with a friend or relative. There were so many wonderful touches. The major draw was the beautiful creek and waterfall and falling asleep with the windows open and the sounds of the jungle. It was tucked away and a wonderful glimpse of local living. A few notes for other travelers: there are other rentals on the property; however, we did not see anyone else besides Darrin upon arrival. Also, this is not one of those sterile, squeaky clean airbnbs that you might be useful. Its definitely super clean but has a "real house" sort of feel. Also, no AC as far as we could tell but it was very cool (and I run hot!) Also, the value for island accommodations was awesome and much appreciated! Darrin was extremely kind to ensure we had a crib for our little ones and even left fresh bananas on our doorstep in the morning - our toddler LOVED opening the door to see this surprise. Oh! and the bed was glorious! Mahalo!

we loved our stay, Matt and Rose's place was the perfect getaway for our 'Baby-moon'. the space is so peaceful and so much more beautiful than the pictures let on. we loved it here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. we would stay again in a heartbeat. thanks so much Matt and Rose!

The place was beautiful and very comfortable to stay in. The kitchen was well-equipped, which made cooking easy. The outdoor shower and washer/dryer were clean and convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This unit is part of a building with other units. When there were guests upstairs, we could clearly hear kids running from the bedroom, but quiet hours were well respected. We drove an AWD SUV, which was helpful for getting to the house—not just because of the steep road, but also because the pavement wasn’t in great condition. We had to slow down when turning in from Mamalahoa Highway; otherwise, the bottom of the car could scrape. We still really enjoyed our stay surrounded by beautiful trees, and we’d love to come back again!

This was an amazing place. I wish we had stayed here longer. The space is immaculate, spacious, inviting, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful! Joyce was an incredible host who went above and beyond. Very close to town (beaches, restaurants, and tours). It’s in a suburban neighborhood, but feels remote and is very quiet and private. We will definitely stay here when we return to Hilo!

Loved staying here! Its a really beautiful space and Miho was very responsive and friendly. The area is beautiful and has so much to do. We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay! The apartment was so spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved watching the horses from the lanai and having Buddy the dog greet us everyday when we arrived back. We felt like we had the best spot on the island to watch the sunset. The sounds of the coqui frogs at sunset was absolutely amazing and so relaxing to fall asleep to. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped for self catering and it was really helpful having some things in the cupboards like spices, oil, syrup, etc. We were so sorry when it was time for us to leave!

It's the house of my dream. Everything in the house is taken really good care of by Priscilla and Rob, and the house is definitely one of my favorite places in Kona. I really hope that I can come back soon, and I will bring you a small gift from China, Priscilla~~💜

This condo was so refreshing. Close to town but no road noise! Peaceful and private, it had everything we needed. Immaculately clean. Really nice washer and dryer. Views of the mountains and stars out the back deck were a nice surprise. The beds were so comfy and the toys for our 1 1/2 year old were a huge bonus! She even offered to set up the pack and play for us. Denisa was flexible with an early check in and a late check out! We even locked ourselves out and she was so quick to respond we were right back in in seconds. Thank you Denisa! Definitely will be booking again.

Loved our stay here! Location & views were exactly what we were looking for. Discounted golf rates at the course and access to the pool were awesome! 15 mins from beautiful beaches. The beach towels/chairs/umbrella/ gear etc were a big plus. The place was clean. Host were quick to answer if we had questions. Two things to note- 1. the blinds are not room darkening so when the sun comes up you’ll know it!This was fine for us, bc we were usually up anyway but just something to note! 2. To get to the bathroom you have to go through the room with the bunk beds. Again this didn’t matter for us because no one was staying in the bunk beds. Overall we really enjoyed our stay & would stay again!

Had a great time. Host was welcoming and provided clear instructions. Also, we were able to check in early.

Lovely condo in a spectacular setting. Kitchen had everything we needed, bed was comfortable and the condo was spacious. We spent most of our time outdoors having adventures, and the condo was a very comfy home base. It was very convenient having the Tropics restaurant within walking distance. We also managed to catch a gorgeous and tasty sunset dinner at the Lava Lava Club.

We absolutely loved staying here! Martin & Rachelle’s place is even nicer than the photos. Martin was very responsive and provided great recommendations. He was extremely flexible and willing to work with us on check-in time. They had all you could ever need from a massive book collection and movie collection to puzzles and board games. We played multiple scrabble games outside on the Lani. You cannot beat the location. One of our favorite Air BnBs and hosts ever. Highly recommend!

Second stay here! Such a beautifully curated place! Cozy and peaceful with beautiful views. All the things you need to make your stay feel at home.

We stayed here to be close to the IM 70.3 Hawaii. This was such a great location for that (very short drive to the venue). There are good restaurants right near by and the area with the condo is very quiet. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and everything was beautiful inside.

Andy’s condo was excellent. We had the best time staying a week for our anniversary. I took a lot of time looking at other options and reading reviews…we are so glad we chose to stay here. The property was super clean, super quiet, and gave us plenty of room to stretch out. Feels like home. The beach club access is so nice. Shaded parking, covered beach chairs, and not very crowded. The snorkeling around the point to the south of the beach is amazing. We saw turtles every day and even a spotted eagle ray. So fun! As some of the reviews stated…it’s one of the nicest places to stay on the Big Island. We will be back again! Thanks Andy!
