Puako an amazing location
Was not overly clean though I have high standards. Kitchen was well equipped and when we needed an additional frypan it was provided without question. The electric bbq on the lanai takes a very long time to cook meats, when we asked to use the propane BBQ at the pool were able to do so without any difficulty. Responsive to most requests in a timely manner though slow with a request for dish soap which would have been helpful in managing gnats so was frustrating to have to request multiple times and not receive a response for several days. Great to have the General store next door for cold beverages and incredible ice cream, unfortunately does not sell milk or cream. Most excellent location if you enjoy morning sunrise and evening sunsets that are truly amazing, extraordinary when treated by performances from whales. We were staying when gnats were particularly bothersome and very difficult to manage which made it challenging to maintain the space (gnats in the fridge, on all surfaces inside and on windows and deck). If you enjoy snorkelling Puako is in my opinion some of the best on the Island!

surprise anniversary trip
the hardest part of our stay was finding the building in the dark. most likely due to all the talking that was going on in the car. every day had little surprises... the great market next door, the fun quiet pool, and best of all the amazing quiet, tranquil beach directly across the street. just wading into the water we saw turtles, rays, angel fish, eels. let alone when you put on the snorkel. super easy short distance from hupuna beach if you want more action.

Puako week
The apartment is well appointed for cooking with a lanai too. One shower head could be replaced in one of the bathrooms. Other than that all good.

Puako is the best!
We loved staying in Puako! It's just down the street to our favorite beaches! The condo was comfy and well-stocked, and the property managers were helpful and accommodating. We hate to say Goodbye!

Why they chose this property

Puako (Pu-ah-ko) is the only small, quaint oceanfront community on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. It is located about 30 miles north of Kailua-Kona and 22 miles north of the Kona airport. The island's largest white sand beach, Hapuna, is right next door.

Puako is conveniently located for enjoying all the resort hotels and restaurants on the Kohala Coast. The Mauna Kea, the Fairmont Orchid, the Mauna Lani and Hilton Hotels are just minutes away with their beaches, fine dining, shopping and world class golf courses. Kohala Divers and Ocean Sports is nearby at Kawaihae Center, and offers various ocean activities including scuba diving and sunset/afternoon sails. Kawaihae Center and Harbor are just 10 minutes by car, with several great restaurants and shops. You are close to almost any activity you may desire, with the exception of viewing the volcano which is a 3 hour drive.

Several fabulous beaches are minutes away. Hapuna Beach (voted best beach in Hawaii by Conde Nast Magazine) and Waialea Bay (Beach 69) both are wonderful for swimming, snorkeling and boogie boarding.

The neighborhood is called Puako, and it is conveniently located for touring all parts of the island. All homes in this neighborhood are on small acreage, so it is a very low density area. Driving time to the Kona airport is approx. 30 minutes, Kailua Kona 45 minutes, Waimea 20 minutes, Hilo 1½ hours, Captain Cook, coffee country, 1¼ hours, Hawi and Polulu Valley 20-30 minutes.

The sun shines 355 days per year and the average temperature highs are in the 80's with low's in the 60's. The ocean's edge is about 60 feet from your doorstep with crystal blue water that is 72-76 degrees year round.



Puako offers ideal fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing and kayaking. Walking and biking is a favorite, too! Sea turtles, dolphins and whales are some of the sea life you may see. Puako offers beach style living and a real sense of getting away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Puako is rich in Hawaiian history. Walk south along the ocean trail to see the petroglyphs. There are approximately 3,000 petroglyphs scattered throughout the Puako Archaeological Fields. These pictures are etched into the lava rock that dominates the Kohala and Kona Coasts. Access to the Puako Petroglyph Park is through the adjacent Mauna Lani Resort.

The waters around Puako are extremely clear due to the fresh water run off and strong coastal currents. Divers and snorkelers can enjoy waters abundant in sea life along the shallow reef at Puako. The Puako Marine Preserve is a protected environment for endangered sea life. Green sea turtles are a protected species and should not be bothered, only enjoyed and admired. Watch the humpback whales play along the coast. Beyond Puako's reef shelf the whales play and breach during their migration to Hawaii from Alaska. It is quite a sight!
