You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oceanfront Hawaiian-style Beach House

Throw a pebble into the Pacific Ocean from your lanai.
Hale Aloha is an oceanfront private retreat located in the magical neighborhood of Puako, next to Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. Puako is one of the sunniest destinations in Hawaii with a unique blend of old Hawaii charm and pristine coastline. Each day is filled with the sound of the sea, coconut trees swaying in the tropical breeze and the beauty of Hawaii. You share the ocean with sea turtles, humpback whales, and play on an oceanfront rich with sea life. Your day ends with one of the most stunning sunsets in the world!

Typical of the beachfront homes that have made Puako so beloved, Hale Aloha is ideal for one or two couples or a family who appreciates a sense of place in a perfectly maintained Hawaiian-style beach house. With 120 feet of ocean frontage, this property is perfect for lounging and enjoying the sunshine and ocean air. Ocean access is adjacent to Hale Aloha and offers an ideal location to go fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddling.

Hale Aloha was built in the 1950's, and was completely renovated in 2014 without losing its Old Hawaiian charm. The fun and playful decor with plantation doors, wood louver windows, and hardwood laminate floors is a tropical retreat!
There is a private guest cottage on the property which is rented separately -
VRBO684722

The living room is completely open to the tropical breezes with large pocket sliding doors and screens leading to a large lanai with outdoor dining and BBQ.
Each bedroom features California King Tempur-Pedic beds with high quality bedding. Living room sofa opens to queen bed. A laundry room with full size stacking Kenmore Elite washer and dryer is included.

The warm ocean is your swimming pool. Protected and only 2-5 feet deep with a mostly sandy bottom, it is home to green sea turtles and colorful fish. Just beyond the reef-protected lagoon is the best snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking in Hawaii. In low tide, the tidal pools will inspire, in January through May, you can watch the humpback whales play and breach.
Morning walks along the two-lane Puako Beach Drive will find you at Puako's famous ancient Hawaiian rock carvings, the largest example of Petroglyphs in the world. There is also a grocery store in walking distance.

Loved our stay in this perfect little cottage on the ocean. Great whale watching and lots of turtles in the tide pool. Even though the weather was windy, our vacation location in Puako was the best. Can’t wait to come back!

This was our third visit at this home and it was just as amazing as the first two. You cannot beat this location! You can do a very nice 6 mile walk along the ocean right from your front door. It is a safe, quiet neighborhood, except when the tsunami siren goes off. The warning siren goes off the first business day of the month. The house is nicely appointed. It has most everything you need to cook at home. It also has a nice variety of beach gear for your use. We look forward to our next stay.

Wonderful stay oceanfront

Our family loved our stay. Being directly on the ocean under the dark starry sky and during the day with the sunset is indescribably wonderful. Kitchen had everything we needed and beds were very comfortable. We exclusively showed outside. We loved beach 69 down the road.
