Guest Reviews:

- "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."

- "Pictures do not do this stunning house and location justice. The Jenny House does not disappoint. This is my 3rd visit and I really hope it won’t be the last. To arrive is to instantly relax and feel the Aloha spirit move you. Thanks for a truly restorative and fun filled week." - "From the minute we booked our stay to the minute we left, the communication between Owner and concierge was amazing and instant replies. We were greeted at the home when we arrived by Nikki and she took care of all our needs plus 24/7 for emergencies which thankfully there were none. The house was totally stocked with plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, all essentials, plus anything thing for outdoor play. The website is totally correct on the toys they have for you. Instructions on how to use everything were all very easy to follow. The views from every room in the house are all amazing. We hope to come back someday in the near future"

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is an oasis. So amazing. Spent a week at a condo in kona that was tons of fun but busy. The following week was spent at whale's tail and I couldn't imagine a better experience. We basically just went out to eat once a day and cooked at the property the rest of the time. It had everything we needed. My wife described it the first night as heaven on earth. I hesitate to say so much as we will definitely be back. Such a calm little oasis. There's so much to do on the island but honestly just hanging on the property and the beach I'm not sure you would need to do anything else. Maybe not for everyone but if you're looking for an amazing place to just relax and unwind I'm not sure you could do better than this spot. We all loved it."

- "Classic Hawaiian beach house literally right on the water. The property manager did a great job of communicating and checking in on us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The house has a ton of character and is located in a beautiful colony of houses on a hidden gem of a beach. This is worlds away from the cookie cutter golf course houses that you see too frequently here. The location generally is also excellent. It’s about a 5min drive from Hapuna beach which is one of the best beaches in the world…on par with Hanalei. And it’s only about 15-20 min to Waimea which has the best dining options on the big island."

It was just perfect for us. The home itself is incredibly well appointed with everything you could think of, including the sweetest welcome basket with local products (Kona coffee of course) and some lovely papayas. It was so thoughtful and had a great little note to greet us and start our stay. The beds were super comfortable, linens and all the surfaces sparkling clean, the kitchen had all the essentials and more including a Brita filter for daily hydration, filling all our Hydros and taking care of the earth with way less plastic. Loved that! There was ice and extra's throughout the entire home. The backyard....seriously....the pool and patio area...dreamy. Coffee in the morning...staring at the ocean! I can't wait to go back! And the walk to the beach! So quick and such a great little path. The beach had a fantastic view of the sunset every night and the snorkeling during the day was some of our best memories and favorite snorkeling of all time. We were able to see 4 different octopus! Unbelievable. Communicating with Mary was lovely, every conversation from her checking on us to make sure everything was as it should be to answering any of our questions. Mary is a gem and I would work with her anytime. Over-all, I would highly recommend and encourage anyone to rent this amazing place. "

Guest Reviews:

- "We rented Marie’s home for a vacation after my daughter’s wedding which was held at the Four Seasons, Hualalai. In many ways this was better than being at the Four Seasons as it allowed our family to come together as a family. It was a glorious place to decompress after the stress of a wedding weekend and all that goes with the planning of a major event. We truly appreciated and enjoyed the magical oasis of Marie’s home. The home was as described, very clean and the short walk to the beach to watch the sunset and see turtles and a myriad of other sea life was incredible. We also appreciated being able to see the stars as it was far enough away from the resorts to have a much clearer view of the sky without the light coming from the resorts. The view of the ocean from the master suite and lanai was unparalleled! And the lanai was the favorite gathering place for the family. The best response in describing Marie’s home was from my husband who repeatedly commented, “You did very well in choosing this place!”"

Guest Reviews:

- "The house is in a fantastic location on the water with a beautiful view and immediate access to the water. There is a store across the street for items and you are only 15 minutes away from Waimea or other locations with restaurants, so it is extremely convenient to stay here. The house itself is clean and spacious and well supplied. Grandma enjoyed waking up early and spending time on the lanai to watch the waves come in. Wish we could have stayed longer!"

Historic Bungalow On Idyllic White Sand Beach w/Great Snorkeling!
House
Kamuela, Hawaii, USA

The “Lalamilo Beach Bungalow” has been a labor of love for the owners, who have taken a personal interest in the restoration and preservation of this historic,1930’s beach front home. Originally accessible only by boat (there were no roads to the beach) the owners vacationed there with just their family and friends. Now a vacation rental, the three bedroom house is available to beach lovers from around the world. Nestled against a gradually sloping hillside and overlooking Waialea Bay, one of the Big Island’s few white sandy beaches, the house epitomizes Old Hawaii with its simple, open architecture that invites ocean breezes and frames spectacular sunsets. Original hardwood floors and Ohia (a native Hawaiian wood) counter tops add to the charm as do the authentic Hawaiian furnishings and artwork throughout.

The close proximity of the house to the water make this an ideal spot to snorkel, swim, sunbathe, surf, dive and whale watch. From the kitchen, dining and living areas, you can watch children playing in the water and building sand castles on the beach. Designed for three couples or a family, the house sleeps up to 6 adults. Two of the bedrooms can made up into either king or twin beds while the third offers a double bed. All three bedrooms open out onto a lanai and have ocean views.

Please note: As desirable as this property may be due to its charm and remarkable location, the Bungalow is not a hotel. There is NO AC. We keep the property as clean and secure as possible but please understand that this home is located on the beach in a natural, tropical environment. While the house is fully screened, and we maintain a regular pest control service, guests may encounter insects. If you love the sounds of the ocean and the beauty of the great outdoors, you won't find any place better! But if you prefer a climate-controlled, manicured, hotel-like environment, this may not be the place for you.

Guest Reviews:

- "What a hidden gem of a place, just as wonderful and relaxing as it was in 2018 when we’re last there. Can’t wait to return!" - "We had a wonderful stay in this bungalow on the beach. Thank you so much." - "This home on the beach provides all the amenities and opportunities you could wish for. It's a spectacular spot for a getaway. While the beach gets crowded during the day (like all nice beaches in Hawaii), between 7 pm and 7 am when the state park gate is closed, it's empty. We loved eating on the beachside lanai and swimming early in the morning before anyone else arrived. The water is safe for children and perfect for swimming. Leilani has thought of every detail, from extra towels and boogie boards to quality furnishings, a cooking-ready kitchen, and more things than I can name. We loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!"

BEACHFRONT HOME 2 acres, Pool, Tennis, Volleyball. Like your own private resort!
House
Waimea, Hawaii, USA

Kahieluana means a place to relax and enjoy the company of loved ones. That’s why we custom designed this brand new house to have 5 masters, so nobody has to get the bad room. And whether your version of relaxing means reading in a beachside hammock, playing tennis, snorkeling with turtles, whipping up an incredible meal with local ingredients, all of these activities and more are onsite so you can do all the relaxing you need without having to leave the two acre property. It's like having your own private resort.

The house features a heated pool and deck that is designed for everyone to gather to watch the sunset. The bay directly in front of the house is shallow and wave-free, ideal for our young son to learn to swim, spend afternoons playing in the black sand and watch an assortment of turtles, juvenile fish and sea animals. Whales breach from December through March.

If you choose to leave the property, you will find Puako to be charming and authentic, things you can't get at a commercial resort. Amazing sea life abounds in our reef, including turtle cleaning stations, colorful tropical fish and manta and spotted eagle rays. We have a well-stocked general store (fresh poke on Friday) a short walk or bike down the road filled with colorful locals. In the other direction, Beach 69, a local secret, is a 10 minute walk with waves, white sand, and great snorkeling.

We look forward to welcoming your group of friends or your family with Aloha. In the meantime, please follow Kahieluana on Instagram

- "Coming from New York City, it took me a minute to adjust to the indoor/outdoor living, but this was a perfect place for our family to gather for winter break, including grandparents and kids. Hearing the sounds of nature and the ocean at night was magical, and being able to walk down to the beach during the day was great. Leilani was a great host, responded quickly to our many questions which made it easy for us to settle in. The natural beauty surrounding the property is stunning, and we loved the easy access to Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach. We loved our stay at the Treadwell House!"

- "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: This location is simply spectacular. If you’re looking for a family getaway (like us) or if you have four couples looking to relax on a private beach in Hawaii, look no further. The location on the western coast of the big island makes it easily accessible, but feels like it’s a million miles from anywhere.

- "Amazing beach access. Beautiful mornings and sunsets." - "Had a lovely time. We love the house just as it is, with the more genuine Hawaiian feel. Thanks for a great visit." - "We loved the private feel of the beach and ocean in front of us - wonderful tide pools at low tide and beautiful sunsets." - "The owners have provided guests with a very well equipped property which is wonderfully well located and has excellent support from property manager. The property could use a few improvements for security purposes (difficult to secure one of the sliding glass doors), and cosmetics (oil the cabinets) but otherwise it is a great representative of "old Hawaii".

Guest Reviews:

- "This home is perfectly located on Beach 69 which has shade, sand, safe swimming and snorkeling, and is protected from the wind. The house was clean, was exactly what was presented in the VRBO listing, and had everything we needed for a full week of R & R in beautiful Hawaii including very comfortable beds, linens, towels, a well equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining, a gorgeous view, old growth trees and landscaping in the front and back gardens, in a quiet neighborhood, safe, and peaceful. The air-conditioning, outdoor shower, washer and dryer, complimentary beach chairs and towels were all much appreciated. We ate at home every night because we love to cook, but there are many fine and reasonable dining options near by car. The house was "old school Hawaii", and while we love that, it is not for everyone because the house is very basic, nothing fancy, it's not an "Alexa" house, or modern. Matter of fact with just a tiny bit of paint to refresh the peeling paint, and a few other minor updates and touches, this house would be nearly perfect. However, once we got into Hawaii chill mode, none of those details mattered. We'll be back and feel so grateful for such a wonderful home away from home."

House

Guest Reviews:

- "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."

Spectacular Oceanfront Puako Cottage
Cottage
Kamuela, Hawaii, USA

Your oceanfront authentic Hawaii vacation destination awaits you! The Reef House is a perfect place to get away from it all. With breathtaking views, a paradise of snorkeling at your back door and a lush tropical yard to relax in and soak it all in. Ideally located, this charming cottage sits right on the water in the laid back village of Puako. With breathtaking sunsets, easy access to the turquoise blue waters and swaying palm trees in the ocean breeze.

This property can be rented as a 2 bedroom/2 bath that sleeps 4 adults and 2 children. OR (discounts offered) for smaller groups, you can have just the 1b/1b oceanfront cottage that sleeps 2 adults, with room for 2 children on the punee (daybeds) in the spacious living room.

The charming Cottage has a queen bed with quality linens, where you will be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean. There is a full kitchen well-equipped with everything you need to cook from home. A spacious living room with comfortable furnishings and an oceanfront dining room with seating for 6 on the antique Hawaiian koa wood dining table. The bathroom offers an adjacent outdoor shower for the unique Puako style experience.

Sip your coffee from the outdoor dining table while enjoying the expansive ocean view framed by palm trees. The water will invite you to jump in for a morning dip with the turtles and fish or stroll along the shoreline to explore the sandy/lava rock tidal pools.

Puako is a historic little oceanside community situated on the Kohala Coast between all the island's most popular white sand beaches and world class resorts.

You can take a short walk to the Puako General Store to get snacks and refreshments or cruise along the drive to the popular surf spot (in the Winter months) at the end of the road. Puako is a slow paced, friendly neighborhood perfect for families with kids and those seeking a casual experience with a hint of old Hawaii.

The owners spend part of the year (generally between January-April) in the upstairs portion of the Ohana unit. They are a quiet, friendly couple that are available for quests questions and needs. However when they are there, they will respect your privacy and you will still have complete access to the outdoor areas of the property.

Typically, there is something missing or some frustration with a rental property, but not this time - everything was considered. The location really can't be beat, with beautiful Pauko Bay right out the back door for swimming, snorkeling, and lounging by the beach. We're already thinking of when we might return!"
