House vacation rentals in Puako

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!

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.

We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

This tiny house was a dream for our 10 night stay in Kona to celebrate our anniversary. It has everything you would need and more for cooking, and relaxing. Amazing host that went above and beyond for us multiple times during our stay, and we are so grateful to have experienced our best airbnb in our favorite place, Kona. This unit is near the best snorkeling on the island (in our opinion) and is near many great food options. Plenty of things to use for the beach and in the kitchen to prepare meals. We would absolutely recommend this place to friends, family, and go again ourselves, after such a flawless, and peaceful experience. The property is downright gorgeous. All around spot on.

Our stay at Alexey’s place was perfect! The house was immaculate and uncluttered. There were 7 of us, 4 adults and 3 children under age 8. We had plenty of space in the great room/kitchen area to be together, yet each had their own wing of the house for private space time. The pool was fantastic with plenty of pool toys and floaties for the kids. The beds were comfortable with plenty of bath towels as well as beach/pool towels. There was plenty of beach gear as well; umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, and sand toys for the kids. The back patio was a favorite! We watched the beautiful Kona sunsets every evening and enjoyed coffee in the cool Kona air every morning. The house was close to shopping, beaches, and the airport. Overall we had a great trip and this space made it perfect! We will definitely stay here again.

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!

The house and yard were beautiful. We loved listening to the sounds of nature at night. We enjoyed the pool and the sauna. If any of my family or friends were going to Kona I would recommend that they stay here. It was wonderful.

The most well stocked home I have ever rented. From everything you need in a kitchen, to spices and condiments, a closet full of sunscreen, first aid items, etc. Most importantly, everything this family of four needed to spend the day at the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel kits, etc. House is just as described and close to everything in Kona. House was spotless upon arrival and had great decorative touches. Sheri and Gary are lovely hosts. Very responsive and welcoming. Thank you both for providing a home away from home for our family getaway! Mahalo!

Island Views Hale was the perfect place for our family of four adults to stay. We all had enough private space and communal space to enjoy our time. We enjoyed all our dinners on the lanai watching the sunset and then the geckos emerging. The mornings were filled with birdsong and turkey gobbles. The property is well provisioned for cooking and for beach fun.

We so enjoyed our jungle stay! The place was easy to find, and just as secluded as the photos make it look. I will say, the upstairs wasn’t rented while we were there, so of course it would have felt a lot less private had there been other people staying. The place was amazingly clean and surprisingly cozy for a garage. Loved having the grill, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, scooters, etc.

Amazing stay — place was exactly as described, very clean and peaceful, and our hosts gave us great recommendations. Situated in a great location, highly recommend

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

Loved our stay! Walkable to town, gorgeous grounds, functional kitchen, friendly and helpful staff and large lanai for eating outdoors. The only issue we had was the internet kept going out (three times during our stay). The internet service provider for the resort is an external 3rd party so this isn’t something the property had control over. Each time we had to call the isp to have the internet restored, which they did.

Karen's house is beautiful. Everything was beautiful and functional - and lots of unexpected little treats. I personally loved the bathroom with its ornate sink and private toilet, plus the lights throughout the house were beautiful. The kitchen was good and contained basic supplies so cooking our food was simple. I could have sat on the deck and watched the ocean for hours. We walked to the Waipio overlook - very easy walk. Honokaa is a nice little town that reminded me of Paia 30 years ago.

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.

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.

We really, really loved this place. It is away from the touristy hubbub of the larger towns, so very quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. We wanted our granddaughter to have her own space (own bedroom and bathroom) so this was perfect. The lanai was an amazing, quiet, peaceful place to enjoy our morning coffee and the unbelievable sunsets. Convenient to several great snorkeling spots. Guy was a wonderful host. Will definitely stay here on our next trip to the Big Island.

This airbnb was fabtastic. The home felt breezy and was very clean. There were 5 of us and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The home was fully stocked with anything we needed to cook and plenty of beach towels. The home is nearby plenty of sites and restaraunts but far enough away that it felt peaceful. Charles is a wondeful and responsive host!

We loved our stay! The had a group of 10 an infant. The place was beautiful and peaceful retreat even though it’s only a 15 min or so drive to the downtown area and Costco. We loved the morning coffees Kyle prepped for us and the game room downstairs. They had all beach equipment needed for the trip as well which was helpful! We saw some posts about hosts living on site and did not know what to expect. Kyle and Maza were the best! They provided local recommendations, gave us a tour of the property, and were there if we needed anything. They were unobtrusive throughout our stay but there when we needed them. Would definitely stay again!

We had a spectacular stay. The home is located near the best beaches on the big island as well as resorts if you want to grab a day pass. It’s located equally between Kona and Hilo with easy access to the north of the island. The home is stocked with everything you would need for an island vacation, with access to grocery stores and restaurants within five minutes. The longest trip was to the volcano, but we did it easily in a day trip. Jeff was very responsive and his listing is full of recommendations. I truly cannot recommend this home enough. If I could build a replica where I live, I would. It’s truly an oasis. My kids and I absolutely loved it. Jeff really thought of everything in the home that you would need. As a bonus, the internet was perfect for movies after a long day of adventures. There’s a beautiful sunset view from the deck and master, as well as a water fountain that is the best way to start and end the day. 100/10 stay!

Walk to beach property was Everything advertised plus more!!! Host was more then welcoming and very responsive willing to help with any questions I had. The home has plenty room for larger groups and well stocked in every suite. The upstairs living/dining area was very open allowing for my entire family to gather for Family Games that were also furnished by the host. If ever back in the Kona area the stay was so nice I would do it twice.

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.

Loved the lanai for gorgeous sunsets!
