Beach house vacation rentals in Puako

Awesome place and location. Joy was very helpful and quick to respond

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. We very much enjoyed our visit. Thank you

This house was in a beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds. it was very well maintained and comfortable. The house has lots of basics in the pantry and condiments. We loved watching sunset from the lanai through the trees or walking 50 ft to the Pier for a Bayside view (with dolphins often making an appearance). Excellent snorkeling at nearby Manini Beach Park (some of us jumped in at the Pier, too) and by kayak at the Cook Monument across the Bay, or at 2-Step, a 5 minute drive down the road. The AC was good but not usually necessary with great ventilation and fans. The bugs are definitely hoping for snacks, so vigilance to keep a tidy house is crucial (but this is to be expected and wasn't a problem). Dawn was very responsive to a few small problems, and when we couldn't get the dryer to work she had a neighbor offer his so we could finish in time to check out (the dryer was a smart dryer and it out smarted us). We really appreciated how Dawn responded so quickly and helpfully!

We enjoyed our stay. Close to downtown. Would rent again.

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

We have stayed at many AirBnb's all over the world and this home was one of the best we have stayed at. So many thoughtful touches from the extra bathroom accessorries, to the welcome gift, the well stocked kitchen, games, tons of room to stretch out. Lots of water equipment for the beach. We loved relaxing on the lanai after a full day of activites. There was 5 of us and we all loved the house. I contacted Zhe that the refrigerator water filter needed to be changed and he responded within 10 minutes. He told us a new filter wouldn't arrive until after we left and he immediately had instacart send a case of water. We had a fantastic time in Kona. Zhe and his home was a big part of the success of our trip. We would stay here again in a minute!

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

We throughly enjoyed our stay! Pictures simply do not do justice to the stunning views and gorgeous sunsets!! The home is spacious, extremely comfortable, well stocked, and the big island decor was perfect!! Would recommend without hesitation and hope to return again soon.

Lee’s home is perfect in every way imaginable. Our family of four had a spectacular vacation. We are already planning our next stay.

Chelsea was out of town yet was immediately responsive to messages dealing with a couple of minor glitches; it helped that the owner lives nearby. Place overall was great. Lack of air conditioning (it was not hot, but the upstairs did warm up in the April afternoons) was offset by the private pool, a better way to cool off than by refrigerating the house. Nice layout for two couples, one upstairs with the larger bedroom and large en suite bath, the other downstairs with two smaller bedrooms and a bath, so we each had good private space. Only drawback was the downstairs rooms seemed a bit enclosed, although all had windows. Nice large lanai and the landscaping around the pool made it feel especially private. Be sure to investigate the pantry and shelves before shopping...the place was very well supplied when we arrived. We would definitely stay again if we're in Kona!

Such a wonderful place to stay. We would love to come back and stay again. It’s close to the beaches, grocery and food. Beautiful view of the golf course. There were cute little goats to watch also! The beds were large and comfy and all the appliances were far beyond standard! Really enjoyed this location.

My friends and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was incredible. The kitchen was fully equipped to cook, the bedrooms and bathrooms were stocked with tons of blankets and towels, the beach gear was so nicely organized with chairs, coolers, bags and so many beach towels! The lanai was so peaceful for mornings with coffee and our books. The grounds and pools were amazing and so well taken care of. When we return to Kona, we will 100% be staying here again.

We stayed in the apartment with four people (two couples). The accommodation is exactly as described. We felt completely at ease and the communication was great. The fantastic sunset from the terrace was a particular highlight. The whole of Kona and the surrounding area is easily accessible by car. We would love to come back. Thank you!

Our group absolutely loved our stay. The host was extremely responsive and the pictures don't even do the place justice. We loved the view and relaxing by the pool until it was time to hit the beach. The location is ideal; it is not too far from Kona (8 minute drive) but you feel like you're in a jungle oasis.

I’d give 6 stars if I could! We booked Alexey’s place with our family of 4 - including our 3 and 1 year old and the house was the MVP of our trip. It’s beautiful and has pretty much anything you could ask for. The location is super close to everything in Kona and the pool was wonderful to come back to after spending the day at the beaches. Alexey was a great host. Highly recommend this house if you are traveling to the big island.

I recently stayed at Justin’s Airbnb in Kona, and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, Justin was incredibly welcoming, offering great recommendations for local activities and making sure we had everything we needed. The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a perfect island retreat. One of the highlights was the pool – it was pristine and provided the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the island. The outdoor area was fantastic, with plenty of seating, and we enjoyed several evenings watching the sunset from the lanai. The location in Kona was ideal, with easy access to beaches, dining, and shopping, yet the house felt like a private oasis. We felt truly at home during our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I highly recommend Justin’s place for anyone looking to experience the best of Kona in comfort and style!

Great space for my wife and I and our four adult children. Loved the ability to walk to bay to paddle board. Kona country club golf was 5 minutes away and a fantastic experience for me and my two sons. AC in the house worked extremely well. Pool was a popular afternoon spot. Wi-Fi was good and helped for the unfortunate times I had to log into work. Close to grocery store and restaurants. Overall a great home base for exploring the Big Island!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Justin‘s place. It is very spacious and we were a family of five. My mom, my husband and my two daughters. The kitchen was fully stacked, and the mattresses were super comfortable. The snorkeling gear was a little old so we ended up buying our own gear. The area was great. Very close to a swimming beach and a beach for snorkeling. Justin was very responsive. Always replied right away and very helpful. We hope to come back someday soon!

Lovely place with everything you need for cooking and beach days. This unit does not have an ocean view so don't expect that. It was well furnished and really comfortable for our family of four. Location was nice as these resorts have two little shopping areas with a few restaurants right on the resort - just across the street. Nice beaches just a short 15 min drive. Great response time with manager for a maintainance issue. Next time we might consider staying closer to Kona 30 mins away - very cute little town with tons of dining options and shops. Seemed we were driving down there often. Overall it was an excellent - quiet, lovely, low key family time.

I have nothing but great things to say about our hosts and our stay! Beautiful home as well as a spectacular view. Had a technical issue with a ceiling fan but Doug was so quick to respond and gracious enough to go and buy two more fans for our stay. He was also very helpful with local recommendations! Would definitely re-book our stay here. Mahalo!

WOW WOW WOW!!! 11/10! We stayed at Barb’s oasis for a week (5 of us) and it was absolutely perfect. The house itself is amazing - very beautiful and spacious. We spent every morning and evening relaxing by the koi pond. The location of the house is perfect - access to wherever you need to go but not right in the middle of everything. The snorkeling at the bay right there is unmatched! Barb was amazing with communication and recommendations! Would absolutely, 100% stay here again! Mahalo, Barb!🌺

Noelani's house was pure paradise. It's comfy and private. We enjoyed sitting outside, taking in the gorgeous views, while drinking our coffee in the cool mornings. The house was stunning and had everything we ever needed. It even came with 2 growlers from Kona Brewery so you could save money to refill them while there. The host provided all the beach gear we needed too. The cooler was a nice touch along with the body boards. We enjoyed grilling out and cooking family dinners in the well stocked kitchen. The rooms provided individual AC units which contributed to our peaceful sleep. There was also a lot of ways to cool the house down too with all the fans, inside and out. I would highly recommend booking with Noelani. She provided all the info we needed to have a relaxing stay. She even gave us tips on fun things to do and see. I would stay here again. Mahalo for everything!

We booked this for a family vacation (3 couples, a kiddo and my grandma) and it worked perfectly. Lots of space for hanging out together and separately. The space was super clean and quick drives to food, coffee tours and beaches. It was also perfect for day trips to Hilo, Mauna Kea, and Volcanos National Park!

My family had a very enjoyable week at Sasan's house in Kona... the location was somewhat remote and the grounds around the house were meticulously maintained... the house was roomy and well laid-out... there was no air conditioning, but opening the windows in the evening provided a nice breeze to keep things comfortable... the kitchen was very well equiped - practically everything you could need to cook at home, and the condition of the pots/pans/cooking utensils were very good - not all worn out and gross as we have encountered at other rentals... lastly the view off of the main balcony was beautiful - very nice atmosphere to have your coffee or an evening coctail... We look forward to returning again to Sasan's house and the big island... Mahalo..!
