Townhome vacation rentals in Puako

This was perfect for our family vacation. It had all we needed, just unpacked and headed to the best beaches in the world! Thank you!!!

This was our second stay at Sandra’s place and we loved it! Sandra’s place is clean and beautiful. We enjoyed looking for geckos and mongooses on the lanai.

this place was spacious for our large group with plenty of private bedrooms. furniture was comfortable and cozy. will highly recommend especially if traveling in a large group.

We can’t wait to come back! Chris and Nancy’s condo by the ocean was the perfect place for our Hawaii vacation. The beds are super comfy and we had everything we needed, including the little beach right outside the door! Shopping and restaurants are super close by and our five days just flew by. Communication was also easy and good the whole time.

This is a secure and peaceful gated resort. The unit was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with a dishwasher but had a prompt response and a credit since it was not fixed during our stay because of the holidays. The resort is located in a clean and quiet neighborhood, but there is not much you can do there: it is quite a walk to the ocean and nearby shops, so you definitely need a car to get around and enjoy Hawaii Kona Island. Ocean is only swimmable near Marriott resort, which is a 5 minutes drive. Parking with ocean access is available, but it is another 15-20 minutes walk. There are only a few nice beaches nearby. Hapuna Beach, for example, is 15-20 minutes drive. Other beaches in the area are rocky and dangerous for swimming. The pool in the resort is clean but small and crowded... But overall, we had a good family gathering and did enjoy our vacation.

Traveled with 2 young kids (2 & 5) and 2 adults. The location was fantastic & close to great beaches & a few shops for the kids. The king bed was very comfortable, the queen was more on the firm side. The place was described accurately in pictures, was pleasantly surprised by how well it was stocked. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with strainers, pyrex dishes, multiple nonstick pans and pots, a blender, cookie sheets, tea kettle, & 12 cup coffee pot. At the time of our stay, there were a decent supply of basic spices (salt/pepper, cinnamon, steak seasoning, garlic), cooking spray, & veg oil. The place was also well stocked with garbage bags, TP, paper towels, dish/hand soap, dish sponges. The only extra thing we had to buy was tin foil & sandwich bags for day trips. The most helpful additions were the beach supplies including: adult/kid snorkel, boogie board, fins, beach chairs/umbrellas, soft sided cooler, first aid kit, float noodles, beach towels. Also had laundry pods/dryer sheets.

We had a relaxing week at the house! It was spacious and well equipped as others have mentioned and it was so nice to be able to walk to the mall (10 min) or to the beach (15 min), or to the pool (and hot tub!) Yes, the beds squeak and the nest thermostat took some getting used to, and you should bring your own soap and shampoo. We spent a lot of time sitting outside and enjoying the foliage and birds.

We loved the Surfer's Inn and look forward to staying again! Due to a change in travel plans, we needed to add an extra day fairly close to our arrival. Ossian and Brittany were quick to respond and accommodate. We loved the relaxed location and feel of the place. Our stay was beyond expectations. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was in a lovely area with an ocean view and walking distance to a nice shopping center where we grabbed coffee each morning. The accommodations were beautiful and clean and equipped with everything we needed and more! The garage was stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and sand toys for guests to enjoy. The bbq wasn’t working the day we tried it, but was quickly swapped out the following day for a brand new one. We had a lovely time and would definitely stay again!

Really peaceful, private spot with great amenities and proximity to great beaches. Extremely well appointed with high end furniture and appliances. Pool is right across the street. Everything you need for the beach (chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, etc). Overall a wonderful spot that we would be happy to visit again.

Beautiful and spacious house to stay in. The host is kind and helpful.

We spent 8 nights here, and found it to be perfect for our family of five (our kids are two teenagers and an 11yo). The kitchen had everything we could need/want, and then some--and the same was true for the enertainment/activity supplies (board games, Roku, beach chairs and towels, snorkeling equipment, tennis rackets/balls and a basketball and even a couple scooters). The pool and hot tub were beautiful (although the low-key vibe of the pool rules was a bit disappointing for our 11yo--but we made up for it by purchasing a day pass for the nearby Hilton pool a couple days), and the bar and restaurant at the pool were very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did our best to see the whole island, and this was a great home base for the week.

Honestly, the pictures don't do this property justice. It was so spacious. That area is lovely. The unit it across from the pool, which was super convenient. BUT it is easily the best stocked rental we have ever stayed in. If you plan on cooking at home (which we did a lot of) its a dream. We did have a little issue with the BBQ which Wayne sorted immediately. A nice touch that the pantry had leftovers from previous guests (which we also added to). I would stay here again and again. Grateful that this was our place for our first trip to the big island. Rent it, you wont regret it.

I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location was ideal making it easy for me to commute to and from the Waikoloa resort where the Native Hawaiian Convention was held. The apartment was clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

We LOVED everything about this place! I would stay here again. It is exactly as described. On our last morning we saw whales breaching and yellow Tang fish in the surf close to shore. Absolutely stunning views from the beach and the sound of the surf is memorable.

We stayed for a week with our two children, age 5 and 8. The unit is exactly as represented in the pictures. We stay at rental houses a good deal and this is one of the best. It feels like it is owner used, such that the towels, kitchen utensils etc are of good quality. Lots of space, all the beach equipment that you need. As others have said, the front room (with the twin beds) is warmer than the other room but it was not a problem at all for our kids. Thanks for the great stay.

We were so impressed with this unit, beautiful layout, beautiful views, and awesome location and the resort itself was paradise. Everything was awesome. My family and I had a great time :) The place was so big. The kitchen was stocked with all of the necessities. We would recommend this place to any traveler looking to relax in luxury. I will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the stay very much! It’s located at a very convenient and beautiful neighborhood. Mack is very friendly and responsive. The room is spacious and very cozy. The little yard is also chill and cute. We had good company from Duke the cat and his doggy friend too.

We had a wonderful stay! Gabriel was very responsive and accommodating. The place has a gorgeous view for sunsets, is well kept and stocked with household basics. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Plus, the temperature controls were perfect. There are fans in each bedroom if some guests prefer it cooler in addition to AC. A shopping village is walkable uphill and a great snorkelling beach is walkable downhill. We never had issues getting a pool chair either.

We had a magical holiday trip at Villa Lava. First off I must say that Janine was the most attentive and thoughtful host we've had thus far. The recommendations and descriptions of the area, things to do and information related to the home made staying here so effortless. The place is pristine and very well cared for. You can feel that this is a loved family vacation home. As others have mentioned every single thing you might need is accounted for. We especially appreciated the sand/pool toys for the kids and the well stocked kitchen as we did not eat out during our stay. The pool is 2 minute walk out the back door and the home backs up to beautifully landscaped gardens. The beach is a short drive away and was absolutely gorgeous. The water was warm and very calm. Overall the location felt just perfect to. There was even a grocery which had everything we needed only a few minute drive away. We would highly recommend Villa Lava!

Brian and Gay are super nice host. I really had a great time there with my families. We enjoyed the great view in the yard. And they offer a lot of stuff you can use if you are into snorkling or sunshine in the beach (though we did not really use them). We really enjoyed our time there!

Caroline’s place has a great floor plan and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s very central for exploring the Kona side of the Big Island. It’s about 15-20 minute drive north to Hapuna beach and Mauna Kea beach, about 20 minutes south to the beach at Kukio (amazing kids beach) and Kua Bay, 40 minutes south to Kailua-Kona, and 30 minutes to the great restaurants and farmers markets in Waimea. The pool was convenient to have nearby, but the ocean was warmer, so we spent most of our time at the beaches. The tennis court is nice and usually empty. Caroline was extremely responsive and helpful! We did not do much around Waikoloa itself, but there are a lot of restaurants and walking paths. I can’t imagine a better place for the price. My only small warning is that the sprinklers and landscapers start going around 4 am and we slept with the windows open. The rest of my family didn’t hear them though. :)

Aimee's place is the perfect location for a Big Island stay. It is very centrally located for enjoying all the Big Island has to offer, so you're not driving too far for any one activity. The Waikoloa beach resort area has everything you need - a beautiful beach, shops and restaurants. We're not golfer's but there is no lack of courses. Our family used the pickle ball courts, bikes and beach chairs and umbrella. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnb's over the years and Aimee's is one of the best - good beds (always important), comfortable furniture and a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of space for everyone.

The Villa was esthetically pleasing, well appointed, very quiet, and convenient to the beach, stores, and main highway. There were 5 adults in our party. We had plenty of room to spread out and to congregate in the shared space. The instruction book was extremely helpful in finding local restaurants. We discussed our trip afterwards and we would definitely stay there again.
