ʻOhana Hale in Puako! Rare full Mauna Kea Views, Steps to the Beach, Private.

Aloha! Welcome to the ʻOhana Hale, your Puako retreat with 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. 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 and palm leaves swaying in the trade winds. 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.

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.

Beautiful skies at night

Exceptional home! It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay… from games to beach chairs. I loved the outdoor shower, the teens love the tree swing, and my husband loved the air conditioned rooms. All in all, we would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

November Stay in Puako

The location was perfect for our family holiday - close to beaches and outdoor activities and tucked away from hustle and bustle of resort-based communities. The swing in the backyard was a hit with the kids and the view beyond it was amazing. This is a quiet, relaxing and friendly spot steps away from the beach (and turtles), tucked off the road with all the conveniences of being home.

Ohana Hale-A great place to stay!

We have stayed at Ohana Hale several times for extended stays and will continue to return. Puako is a lovely residential community and ideal for watching sunsets, snorkeling, and is in close proximity to some of the best beaches on the island. The home is nicely appointed, with comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and a nice floor plan. The yard is a great place to relax, with an awesome view of Mauna Kea. The hosts are helpful and responsive and a joy to work with.

Paradise

We loved our stay at Sandi and Ken’s place in Puako. It was a quiet beautiful neighborhood with the ocean (and sea turtles) just right across the street and Mauna Kea stargazing in the backyard. Easy to get to get to all the best beaches. Stocked with all the kitchen essentials and beach essentials. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

It couldn't have been more beautiful

The house is perfect: lovingly furnished, with charm and character, and plenty of space for four people. We were four women seeking peace and relaxation, and that's exactly what we found here. A wonderful garden with a view of Mauna Kea and the sunrise, and a one-minute walk to the ocean for our first coffee. And in the evening, we were able to enjoy the sunset. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. Everything we needed in terms of furnishings and kitchen equipment was there, and even more.The contact with the landlord was exceptionally friendly, quick, and reliable.The stay truly exceeded our expectations, and we would come back anytime.Mahalo

Sunrise (happy) cries

The first morning waking up just before sunrise in this beautiful setting made me cry happy tears. The view to the northeast of Mauna Loa is truly wonderful. Beyond the amazing and relaxing surrounding open space and beach, the home is well stocked and cared for. The bed in the primary room is also exceptionally comfortable!
