beachside cottage

A beach house from another era, right on the beach. cool snorkeling (though sometimes lower visibility) right outside the house—almost ran into a big beautiful turtle as we came over somelava—also very close to guided trips that can take you to very beautiful and more clear spots off shore (we enjoyed our Liquid Hawaii trip). Property management firm that handles the rental is professional and helpful and gracious. The church next door is low key—even on Sunday—and the beach is too. You’ll benefit from some water shoes here and other places in this area because of lava rocks.

Sleep to the sounds of the surf breaking on the reef

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: great location on the edge of a sandy beach where you can swim or snorkel on calm days. It is walking distance to the little general store. It has a dry well equipped kitchen. The furniture and at least the master bed are Rey comfortable. Since you are on the edge of a peninsula the surf is surrounded by sound all day. Driving less than 10 minutes to Hapuna Beach.

This trip is exactly what we needed!

We all loved this location, the home, the kitchen, the sleeping arrangements and comfort. The two decks were well used by our small but very close group. The middle deck was fantastic for evening gathering, while the back deck was great for fresh breezes and easy access to the water.

Beautiful and Relaxing Retreat

Great stay at this relaxing Puako beach house. This was the perfect getaway for a relaxing beach vacation for my small family. My husband and I stayed six nights with our ten-year old daughter. We could have easily fit another couple and child in the space. The house is older but very well-maintained and clean, providing a very authentic Hawaiian experience. Don't let the age of the house hold you back at all - the A-frame style is precious and the cool breeze in the evening is a perfect sunset setting with literally a private beach right in front of you. The house is also very well-stocked which I don't think any of the other reviews stated. Also, there was an early review of the bushes not providing privacy - I can guarantee you this is no longer a problem and the yard is carefully maintained and watered. We will definitely rent this house again on a future visit to the Big Island.

Charming and Private Beach Home

We have stayed a lot of places on the various islands, but this one is by far our new favorite! Cute and very private older beach house with an unbeatable location if you need to recharge. Property manager Robbie was great to communicate with and everything was as listed. We will definitely be back!

Exceeds expectations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful set-up. A separate building for the master suite, one queen bedroom downstairs and twin beds upstairs. Steps to a little beach/cove that is as close to private as one can get! Easy in and out, the 1- and 3-year-olds loved it and we all felt safe with them playing in the water. Kitchen well stocked. The staff of Trinty were super friendly and great communicators. The louvered windows don't really keep the dust out if the wind is blowing, but a small thing to deal with. However, if you have health issues with dust, be aware. Highly recommended

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: everything was great. suggestion: plant more vegetation and trees to increase privacy. since the little forest along the road and trees along the drive were decimated , the house feels very exposed. I think this would be easily remedied. love Robbie and Shirona they're the the best

Amazing location and rustic beauty on the water.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rustic ocean front property. Well managed! Clean but no ac and it was unseasonable warm. Still we had a wonderful time and would rent with 2papayas again. In fact we already booked for next year!

Perfect old Hawaii

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Puako was the perfect spot for our family. We have to older teenagers so the detached master bedroom was great! Being right on the water was fantastic. It can get very windy and since there are not traditional windows, you will hear it loudly. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend the house to anyone who is looking for a casual beach experience.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A sweet spot in Puako. There aren’t many old Puako places left and it was special to stay here. Had everything we needed and the location was great. Lots of gecko treats but that comes with the territory. We’ll stay here again.

The best of the best stays in Puako.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been visiting Puako for many years staying both in the Condos and other waterfront locations. They have all been wonderful. However I must say that Hale Puako has been the best yet for our family of three. The location is superb and the house, although older, is in great condition. We had an internet problem that was fixed very quickly by Mary and the cable person. I would highly recommend this lovely location, We have signed up already for next year.

Great stay in Puako

Extremely cute old-school Hawaii property, and can't beat the ocean access for snorkeling and kayaking / SUP. Communication with the owners was excellent and prompt -- they seemed very organized and on top of things. Great quiet neighborhood, all you hear is the water and the ocean breezes. Lack of AC meant it was warm in the afternoons (July visit), but the house was very well ventilated and we had constant breezes moving through. We loved our stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, with amazing views from every room in the house. Great layout and space for family dinners in the open lanai area, swam with turtles, right outside the patio. Convenient location to everything and the General store close to walk and has everything you could need. Management was very responsive and helpful.
