House vacation rentals in Puako

This house indeed has a magic lanai, with amazing sunset views and a beautifully private feeling. The lanai had a breeze if you were hot, and the pool was nestled calmly in trees and was a wonderful mid-afternoon reprieve, and great for the kids. The home itself is smartly designed to cool off quickly at night. Large space with easy flow. Chelsea and Rudi are very helpful When the washing machine broke (such is the randomness of life) it was easily arranged for us to be able to do the laundry next door. Loved the neighbourhood. Away from the busy Ali'i drive, but close enough to walk down to enjoy, or take a short drive. Private and quiet, this was a great home in which to unwind.

Sandra's place brings healing. It is beautiful, quiet, and serene. The views are lovely of ocean below, and the wind blows quietly through bows of citrus, avocado, and palms. There are likely multiple Walden Ponds on the Big Island of Hawaii, but this is one of them. Tranquility reins at this property.

Nice, quiet house! No A/C except in the bedrooms with lots of fans to try to help in the hot afternoons, but hopefully you’ll be cooling off in the amazing pool. My kids had a blast and they were swimming as much as possible.

We went for a family vacation and fit everyone’s needs. Great for kids,grandparents and everyone in between. It was a wonderful place to be when we weren’t adventuring on island. Such a spectacular backyard to hangout in, patio for meals and kitchen for cooking. Everyone had their space! Andy and Bryn were quick with any questions we had. We look forward to booking again!

Naomi’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and spacious. The lanai is an exotic and fun feature and the house is full of character. Tropical frogs serenade at night time while the morning starts with beautiful bird song and a view of the ocean. Meanwhile, beaches, restaurants, and shops are only a 5-10 minute drive away. When you stay in the house though, you feel as though you have escaped the hustle and bustle of day to day life. I stayed here with my wife, two young children, and in-laws. It was a fantastic time and I will always remember it!

I recently stayed at Justin’s Airbnb in Kona, and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, Justin was incredibly welcoming, offering great recommendations for local activities and making sure we had everything we needed. The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a perfect island retreat. One of the highlights was the pool – it was pristine and provided the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the island. The outdoor area was fantastic, with plenty of seating, and we enjoyed several evenings watching the sunset from the lanai. The location in Kona was ideal, with easy access to beaches, dining, and shopping, yet the house felt like a private oasis. We felt truly at home during our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I highly recommend Justin’s place for anyone looking to experience the best of Kona in comfort and style!

We really enjoyed our stay. For our family group of 9 this property fit our needs perfectly! The pool right outside our doors was great, and the hot tub was also used frequently. The kitchen was well supplied with whatever we needed for cooking at home. We enjoyed the outside dining area; the weather was beautiful, and we ate almost all of our meals outside. The house was very comfortable. Probably the feature I like the best is the view we had of the ocean to the west. We had some fantastic sunsets! Our host Khanh was quick to respond with any questions we had. We have great memories of our time there.

Nicki is a great host. We recently stayed at her lovely home and very much enjoyed the private, quiet setting with ocean views. The home is nicely updated, well appointed and comfortable. The large yard, pool and sauna give it the feel of a retreat. We can highly recommend a stay here.

This is a great house for large group. The downstairs suite was perfect for our group of 7 to minimize room sharing. Large lanai perfect for outdoor meals, games, etc. Paul was very responsive anytime we had questions. Would definitely recommend this for a bigger group. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

This home was perfect. My kids and I enjoyed the peace and quiet and how big the property was. We felt comfortable and at ease after our daily adventures to come back to a safe and quiet home to a hot home cooked meal. My small family loves to cook so having a full kitchen was important to us during our stay. We definitely would return someday soon. Thank you so very much.

Excellent place if in the Kona region! Short drive to lots of amazing beaches and nice and sunny :) the place was great and as described, clean and spacious - even more so than the photos! Daniel provided us with lots of beach gear which was great and local recommendations! Wouldn’t hesitate to book! Mahalo!

The home was clean and very inviting. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. The hosts were welcoming and available to answer questions but not intrusive. We didn't spend much time in the house except eating and sleeping - but it was nice to have a beautiful home away from home. Very lovely stay. Jack and Jackie, Lee and Christi

The upstairs was awesome and had great views. There was plenty of room for our family of 13. Location was great and easy to access. Down stairs was good for anyone who can't walk up stairs and is great for wheelchairs. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kona. Thank you Jun

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melanie’s hospitality or the place itself. Amazing views and the house is stocked with everything you might need. Ping pong table was a huge hit and pool/hot tub were just what my family needed to relax and reconnect. The view of the ocean is unbelievable. Completely recommend staying here.

Beautiful house! We loved how spacious it was as well as how private it was. It was very nice to have a private pool rather than having to use the community pool. It was perfect being there in the “winter” we were able to keep the doors open most of the day with the screens keeping the bugs out. Keep in mind that the blinds are more for daytime privacy and are much less effective at night. You can see straight through them. This wasn’t a big deal for us we just limited our changing to the bathrooms.

We are a couple and stayed for two weeks in February. We loved the house. The lanai is so comfortable with gorgeous sunsets every night. We also appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was with everything we needed (and good knives!). And we appreciated the beach gear. Great beach umbrella! Cheryl was very responsive whenever we needed something or had a question. The location is great for exploring the west coast north and south. It’s a short drive to town and grocery stores/ restaurants. Be aware that there are no shops/ convenience stores or cafes within walking distance. A great place to stay. Highly recommended.

This large rambling rustic farm house overlooked a sheep pasture and large trees, with many birds, especially in the morning and was quiet and peaceful . The night sky was crystal clear with stars and the Milky Way visible from the front yard. The front porch offered a lovely place to sit, mornings and throughout the day with a gentle breeze. We rented all three apartments so had extensive space for privacy and shared visits. The three kitchens had plenty of cooking utensils, with two large refrigerators and a nice stove, air fryer, etc. Lazy Susan table in dining room was very useful for dining. All beds were comfy. Krisann and Sam were very helpful and communicated quickly to our questions and allowed us early checking in as we were traveling with our food for the week. They shared a helpful list of places to visit and their favorite recommendations. The area is out of the way but we found plenty to do, including swimming and hiking.

Great set up for a family to have extra space with a kitchen. The host family was fantastic and our kids really enjoyed playing together.

This place is so wonderful! Peaceful neighborhood with lots in walking distance! Pools and hot tubs were great for us on cloudy days, and being walking distance to restaurants and snorkel spots, it was exactly what our family needed! The beds were comfortable (though I wish they had cotton sheets bc it gets a bit warm at night!), the backyard was great for kids, the garage is stocked with everything you could imagine needing for a beach/snorkel day. Jeff and Suzanne really thought of everything here, and it shows! And they happily accommodated our request to have no fragrance cleaning products, which, for a family with allergies, this was super important to us. We would book this again! We did have a few issues with the cleanliness of the dishwasher and washing machine, but they were so quick to address it and make efforts to make things right. This place is worth every penny and made our time in Hawaii really nice.

Our stay was very peaceful, and we watched the pigs and geckos on multiple occasions. The neighborhood has very steep hills since it is on the side of a hill, but manageable. I appreciated the laundry especially after the beach, and Guy was very helpful and gave a warm welcome when we arrived. The sunset view was gorgeous, and I would recommend this home to others.

House is higher up the mountain which allows a great view of the ocean. Close to town and the airport and the Belt highway which makes it easy to go north or south on your travels. We had 3 couples and the house worked great for us. It's also in a residential area that was quiet with other similar nice houses. Would highly recommend if your staying in the Kailua Kona area.

We live part time here on Kona- my partner and I planned a small wedding and chose this place to stay during that period so we could be close to some of our visiting friends. The place was spacious, clean, and has an amazing outside area to connect with those staying together. We played karaoke at night and made use of the fun popcorn maker which made for playful moments. Kyle the ground keep was very friendly and helpful. He took care of all of our needs right as we asked him. I didn’t realize he would be staying in the room right outside of the kitchen… if I knew someone outside of our planned guests was staying there in the main house with us I may not have booked…. Thankfully Kyle was fabulous and we loved having him there to assist us as needed - and appreciated his genuine personality, and thoughtfulness in the space as we passed in rare moments. You rock Kyle!!! I would happily stay here again, and I will remember the beautiful moments getting ready for our wedding in

Richard’s place is a gem on the northern tip of the island. It is brilliant for those who are looking for something different and unique. Richard was extremely friendly and responsive to our questions about the area. Highly recommended.

Thank you!! Was a great place to stay. Would stay there again.
