About this property

Stunning Puako Bay Hideaway - 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, Sleeps 11

Welcome to Puako Bay Hideaway. This rare location and home, completed in Sept 2024, is a stunning Rohn Marvik designed beachfront property situated on beautiful Puako Bay. Nestled in a quiet, one-of-a-kind neighborhood, you will be just steps away from world class kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkeling on one of the finest reef systems in all of Hawaii.

Enjoy the luxury of 5000 sq feet that comfortably sleeps up to 11 people in four suite style bedrooms and features a 45-foot infinity edge heated pool and spa overlooking Puako Bay. Wake up to views of whales breaching off the reef in front your private primary bedrooms, lanai, great room and pool areas.

This spacious home offers beautiful views of the water and amazing sunsets. Delight in the outdoor living of our lanai and pool area watching your favorite game on the big screen TV, barbequing, or just relaxing with family and friends while enjoying the pool and ocean views. Step down to the large, flat grass area to toss a ball or for a waterfront game of badminton, croquet or corn hole. Each bedroom is suite style with its own bathroom and the two primary bedrooms feature outdoor showers. Three of our bedrooms are appointed with king beds and the fourth bedroom has two queen beds. Our home features a well-appointed kitchen for the cook in the family with majestic settings for family gatherings inside and out.

This is the perfect home and location for the active group. Just steps away from the water, Puako Bay offers a varietal water experience. Nearby you can swim with Manta Rays at Mauna Kea, kayak or paddleboard from our beach, snorkel the Puako reef or play pickleball, tennis or work out at the nearby Mauna Lani Wellness Center and Tennis Club.

Puako is a long-standing Hawaiian community nestled in the shadow of Mauna Kea on the Kona Gold Coast, one of the driest locations in the state of Hawaii. With less than ten inches of rain per year, great weather is not hard to find in this location. It is often said about the big island, if you dont like the weather, just wait an hour.

The Puako Beach community has an authenticity you wont find in the commercial resorts. Amazing sea life abounds in our reef, including turtle cleaning stations, colorful tropical fish and manta and spotted eagle rays. A short walk or bike down the road is a quaint general store for quick pick-up items and specialties like delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies and fresh poke on Fridays. At the end of the road, you will find Paniau Beach with waves for the surfer that wont disappoint. In the other direction, Beach 69, a local favorite, is a ten-minute walk and features waves, white sand, and amazing snorkeling. Hapuna Beach, one of the most scenic white sand beaches on the island is just a mile away by car or paddleboard. Or try the local Puako Beach with white sand and tidepools just a quarter mile from the house. The golfer can find world class golf courses at nearby resorts like Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani and Waikoloa, that are just around the corner.

**Guests of Puako Bay will receive exclusive membership benefits to the Mauna Lani, Auberge Resort Collections Wellness Center and Tennis Club. Guests will have complimentary access to the private lap pool, fitness center, locker rooms, sauna, pickleball and tennis facilities. This exclusive partnership with the Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection, is offered to only a select few vacation rental properties.

We are situated in the middle of some of the finest resorts on the big island with Mauna Kea and Hapuna Hotel two miles to the north and the Fairmont and Auberge two miles to the south. We are also just fifteen minutes from the town of Waimea and the village area of Waikoloa, both offering dining and shopping. Check out one of the two farmers markets in Waimea and supply yourself with fresh fruits, vegetables and other local creations.

The Big Island offers outstanding outdoor opportunities including beautiful hikes with amazing views and beaches. Drive to the top of Mauna Kea at over 13,000 feet for amazing star watching or travel to Volcanos National Park for a full day excursion.

Puako Bay Hideaway offers the amenities, comfort and location for an unforgettable Hawaiian vacation.

Magical!

This home was perfect for our family vacation! The house was very nice new and clean, beds were comfortable, tons of space for my family of 6. We spent lots of time at the pool/patio just enjoying the lovely view of the ocean, watching the birds or the many stars. We explored the trails/nearby tide pools and saw sea turtles and whale spouts. Lots of activities to do close by and not too far for restaurants/shopping yet we still felt away from the crowds with peace and privacy. Management was excellent to work with and everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolute Perfection

A group of us (3 couples) just got back from an exemplary weeklong stay at Puako Bay Hideaway. I'm usually too time-pressed to write a review, but I feel compelled to share our experience with other discerning travelers, whom like us, spend an enormous time searching for the perfect vacation home. We've all had experiences where we were seduced, yet deceived, by perfectly staged professional photos. This wasn't the case for Puako Bay Hideaway. In fact, we can honestly say the photos don't do the property justice. What we loved most about this home is how it beautifully captures the spirit of Hawaii around the lanai, the central gathering place that looks out to the most magnificent and breathtaking view of the sea. With a group of our size, there were plenty of places to enjoy together or alone if downtime was needed to work or just chill. Two out of four bedroom have gorgeous sea views but all four have their own unique character and Hawaiian vibe with modern conveniences like superb linens and bedding with extremely comfortable beds. Two of the bedrooms have gorgeous outdoor showers. Even for insomniacs like me, you will get the most comfortable sleep here and wake up blissfully happy and refreshed to the sound of the waves and tropical birds. The kitchen! It really does have everything. We were lucky to have a chef in our group who was able to whip up even the most complicated meals using the state of the art smart ovens and outdoor grill.
