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. Most of the art on the walls is by local Big Island 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.

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.

Restful Oasis!
The Ohana Hale is wonderful! A great place to relax and enjoy nature (lots of birds!) House is very private and peaceful, beautifully decorated, great views from the back lanai. Good communication with clear instructions on how to get there, get in, what to do, etc. The house was very clean, well equipped kitchen and comfy couches. There are 2 bedrooms but we only used the master suite. The bed was very comfortable, great closet and bathroom area. Having a washer and dryer was a plus. House has great AC and ceiling fans. Beach access is a short walk across the road. There are also great travel books available and a very informative binder with restaurant suggestions. Would definitely love to stay here again and can see why so people have done so!!

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!

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!

A perfect stay in Puako
We are repeat guests at this clean, well appointed home. The layout is conducive to a bit of privacy for two couples or friends or families, as the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the common spaces. We love staying in a residential neighborhood with a short walk to incredible snorkeling, a new sunset every evening across the street, and awesome beaches just a half mile away. Spectacular views of Mauna Kea from the private backyard. The hosts are responsive and accommodating. A great place!

Puako vacation
This is my third time to stay at this home in Puako. I love it there, in the morning you can see the sunlight coming between Kohala and Mauna Kea, and view the mountains of Mauna Loa and Hualalai as well, weather depending. In the evening I walk across the street and watch the sunset.

Perfect Puako
I’ve stayed in Puako many times and have sampled a variety of accommodations. This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom “Ohana Hale” suited us perfectly! We enjoyed watching the sunrise over Mauna Kea, and the sunset over the ocean. Access to waterfront was easy and our daily routine included a morning shore walk. From the shore, we witnessed many turtles, both swimming and sunning. We also watched a whale spouting close to shore. We used the a/c only once when we first arrived at night to a closed up house. After that, only fans and open windows were needed. The bonus to that approach is you can hear the waves. I highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future! Mahalo!

Perfect - Once again!
This home suits us perfectly! It isn't part of a resort community, nor does is it isolated up on the island. We walk across the road to the edge of the old lava flow and spend our day sitting on the sand, wading through the tidepools, snorkeling, watching for whale and at the end the day, watching a gorgeous sunset over the ocean. It's near the ranchlands to the north and resort shopping and restaurants to the south. And you certainly can't beat the beautiful sunrises over Mouna Kea each morning. We love this well-cared for, comfortable little home.

Sandi was a wonderful host. The home was beautiful, very clean, with a really well stocked kitchen. The location was amazing. The view from the back yard was fantastic, especially on a clear night. We saw turtles resting on the rocks at the beach just across the road. A really nice quiet neighborhood. I hope that I can come back and stay again.

Great views
The listing accurately shows the house and rooms. The setting is really nice with the back yard having an unobstructed view of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. And the beach is just across the street, we saw several turtles near shore. Nice quiet neighborhood. It is a bit of a drive to most destinations, though to be expected given how dispersed the island is. Hapuna Beach which is gorgeous is a short drive though. Hosts were very responsive to help deal with a few minor maintenance issues.

Peaceful, Lovely Stay in Puako
Enjoyed our stay in lovely Puako Ohana Hale. Very well-equipped inside and out with new furnishings. Outside shower is a treat. Access to our favorite beaches was so quick and easy: 8 minutes to Waialea, 10 to Hapuna and 15 to Spencer. Very quiet and peaceful near the end of Puako Beach Dr. Views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and the dark night sky were tremendous. Walked across the street to the beach for sunset every evening and had our coffee there every morning. Terrific place, very glad we stayed here.

Wonderful Spot in a Hidden Gem Neighborhood
My husband and I spent a wonderful 6 days here for our 10th anniversary. I've spent a lot of time in the Puako neighborhood, and so it was lovely to be back. The home was beautiful, and had everything we needed for our stay. All the cookware we needed was provided, along with beach towels and chairs to use at the nearby beaches. The views out the back were tranquil, and a gorgeous sunset-watching spot was only feet away. We found it easy to use everything, and the owner was responsive when we had a question. I would definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing vacation. A few quick tips for those who come enjoy this property: the sugar is in the fridge, the laundry machine is out back by the shower, and you might want to bring an eye mask if you are not a morning person. It does get quite bright in the bedrooms in the morning.
