Private Puako Home - NO shared walls! Full Mauna Kea Views & Steps to the Beach

Aloha! Welcome to ʻOhana Hale, your private Puako retreat. The whole property is yours with NO shared walls as a condo has. You'll have a stunning forest and unobstructed view of majestic Mauna Kea from the lanai, living room and dining area. This quiet and tranquil location is literally 100 steps away from the beach. This is your perfect spot on the Big Island to relax and rejuvenate far from the crowds and human noises. You'll delight in the symphony of bird calls and perhaps the trade winds in the palm fronds. Situated in the quiet historic shoreline community of Puako, our comfortable accommodations provide vacationers a perfect home base for those coming to the Big Island to find their balance or to find their adventure.

Enjoy walking out the sliding door every morning onto the grass area to enjoy a beautiful sunrises over Mauna Kea with your cup of Kona coffee. Take a morning or mid-day stroll to the beach to view sea turtles, swim, snorkel, or just sit and read a book listening to the sounds of the surf. Walk to nearby ancient Hawaiian lava petroglyphs. Be sure to check out the night sky from the backyard. The special lighting on the island for the observatories on top of Mauna Kea makes for a break taking view.

Ohana Hale showcases Big Island paintings of fine art by local artist Christian Enns (christianenns.com) who has a gallery at neighboring resort to the north, Hapuna Prince, as well as a studio and gallery in the neighborhood. Our home sleeps four with the primary bedroom having king sized bed, guest bedroom with two single beds, a living room with large couch and dining area which seats six. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, two bathrooms, washer, dryer, outdoor shower, air conditioning, and an outdoor BBQ. All linens and furnishings are newly refreshed. This property is an excellent space stay, play and relax while on the Big Island.

Puako offers access to some of the best snorkel and diving experiences on the Big Island. You will be near world famous golf courses, delightful outdoor shopping malls that feature an array of great boutique shops and some of the best Big Island dining and views. Of course if you're interested in any of the many water sport activities the Kawaihae harbour and nearby resorts at Waikoloa beach have a wide variety of offers. Take advantage of the many sunset catamaran excursions or sunset excursions to the top of Mauna Kea at close to 14,000 feet (~4200 meters) above sea level. There are also five National Parks on the island. Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site is the closest being a 15 minute drive to the north and highly recommended to learn more about the Hawaiian history and culture.

What an amazing location! From the beautiful sun rises over Mauna Kea, the gentle crashing waves you can hear from the bedrooms. This house is perfect. We stayed for a week and the house was perfect for our small family with small children. Puako is a charming community, it feels safe, and the beach across the street has gentle waves for the littles to enjoy.

We love Puako, and this home offers the perfect location to watch sunrises over Mauna Kea and sunsets over the ocean across the street. The home is very private and offers a floorplan where the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the common areas. The host is a delight to work with and very responsive to insure that your stay goes smoothly.

Great location, highly recommended. Very comfortable house for three of us. All you need is in place. The best beaches are 10 min to drive, snorkeling around the corner. Shopping and eating very close. We are very lucky having spent a week in December here. Very nice and efficient communication with the host, thank you so much, Sandi. We will come again, for sure!

What a glorious, peaceful spot. We were able to get easily to 5 beaches with waves gentle enough for little kids, plus afternoon trips to the tide pools and turtles and sunsets. The warm wind, birds, outdoor shower, volcano view - this was an epic trip for our family.
