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.

Our family's stay at Joe and Anna's home was excellent and perfectly set up for our three-generation group to enjoy a relaxing stay. The home has ample and comfortable indoor/outdoor communal space, was super clean, and is kept cool by fans throughout (and AC in bedrooms). Joe and Anna are very responsive hosts and have really thought about all the details. We really appreciated all of the thoughtful touches that made it super easy for us to explore the island (snorkelling gear, beach towels, chairs, and more) and the well-stocked kitchen. It was great to be in such a quiet and convenient location, with easy access to the nearby shopping centre with a grocery store and restaurants, and beaches/activities. This property is a real gem, and we hope to come back again!

We were a family of 4 travelling for several months from Australia - this was one of our favourite Airbnb’s of the trip. The back garden was absolutely beautiful and super relaxing. We saw all types of birds while reading in the backyard. Having seen the hideous Kona we were so happy we booked away from the grime and noise and ended up in this lovely comfortable home - very near to plenty of stores and very well equipped for all our in house cooking. We would happily have stayed longer had we not pre-booked other plans. Thank you - would highly recommend!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Nicki’s Airbnb in Kona! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do, yet peaceful enough to truly relax. The views were absolutely stunning, making it a great spot to unwind in the mornings and evenings. The home was spotless upon arrival, and it was clear that cleanliness is a priority. Nicki was a very responsive and helpful host, making check-in and communication smooth and easy. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we would definitely book again!

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!

This spot is not only gorgeous (think oceanview sunset) but also luxurious. Newly renovated, extra comfy couch and a projection TV. All within about a 7-min drive to the airport. Would stay here again to be sure.

Had an excellent stay. Very nice resort. Great location next to Ali’i drive. Had everything we needed. Within walking distance of the downtown area. Upper pool has a 1.5’ depth kid section, which was great for our toddler. A reliably great stay.

South Kohala was the perfect home base, great location to resort beaches. We loved going to Mauna Kea everyday and could zip back home for lunch or nap time. Family friendly home with ample space....hosts were quick to reply with great communication. Home was equipped with necessities like standard kitchen supplies, BBQ, blender, basic seasonings, blow dryer. Incredible backyard views and sunsets, we plan to come back!

Beautiful place, unique decor, all the amenities you need and extras, comfy queen bed, large and fairly private yard and deck, legit ocean views from bed, no problem leaving doors open with the bug screens magnetically closed. The hot tub was amazing both day and night (stargazing). I found the arrival instructions a little overdone: just turn right before the squiggly yellow road sign (photo provided), stay right, then left at the cedar gate.

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 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.
