Puako (Pu-ah-ko) is the only small, quaint oceanfront community on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. It is located about 30 miles north of Kailua-Kona and 22 miles north of the Kona airport. The island's largest white sand beach, Hapuna, is right next door.
Puako is conveniently located for enjoying all the resort hotels and restaurants on the Kohala Coast. The Mauna Kea, the Fairmont Orchid, the Mauna Lani and Hilton Hotels are just minutes away with their beaches, fine dining, shopping and world class golf courses. Kohala Divers and Ocean Sports is nearby at Kawaihae Center, and offers various ocean activities including scuba diving and sunset/afternoon sails. Kawaihae Center and Harbor are just 10 minutes by car, with several great restaurants and shops. You are close to almost any activity you may desire, with the exception of viewing the volcano which is a 3 hour drive.
Several fabulous beaches are minutes away. Hapuna Beach (voted best beach in Hawaii by Conde Nast Magazine) and Waialea Bay (Beach 69) both are wonderful for swimming, snorkeling and boogie boarding.
The neighborhood is called Puako, and it is conveniently located for touring all parts of the island. All homes in this neighborhood are on small acreage, so it is a very low density area. Driving time to the Kona airport is approx. 30 minutes, Kailua Kona 45 minutes, Waimea 20 minutes, Hilo 1½ hours, Captain Cook, coffee country, 1¼ hours, Hawi and Polulu Valley 20-30 minutes.
You will need to rent a car to get here. However, you can walk to the beach and store, resorts (Fairmont) and there are bikes to rent.

The sun shines 355 days per year and the average temperature highs are in the 80's with low's in the 60's. The ocean's edge is about 60 feet from your doorstep with crystal blue water that is 72-76 degrees year round.
Puako offers ideal fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing and kayaking. Walking and biking is a favorite, too! Sea turtles, dolphins and whales are some of the sea life you may see. Puako offers beach style living and a real sense of getting away from it all.
Puako is rich in Hawaiian history. Walk south along the ocean trail to see the petroglyphs. There are approximately 3,000 petroglyphs scattered throughout the Puako Archaeological Fields. These pictures are etched into the lava rock that dominates the Kohala and Kona Coasts. Access to the Puako Petroglyph Park is through the adjacent Mauna Lani Resort.
The waters around Puako are extremely clear due to the fresh water run off and strong coastal currents. Divers and snorkelers can enjoy waters abundant in sea life along the shallow reef at Puako. The Puako Marine Preserve is a protected environment for endangered sea life. Green sea turtles are a protected species and should not be bothered, only enjoyed and admired. Watch the humpback whales play along the coast during the winter and spring months. Beyond Puako's reef shelf the whales play and breach during their migration to Hawaii from Alaska. It is quite a sight!
There are many, many great restaurants… All within a 5-10 mile radius. There are lots of ocean activities and fun things to do! The Big Island is jam packed with adventures! W40701520-01

We loved this place. A nice spacious house with back and front patios perfect for sitting outside. The location was excellent with the lava rock beach featuring daily sea turtle visits across the street on quiet Puako Beach Drive. We like to avoid resorts so this was just the spot - thanks for having us!

We had a spectacular time. The house is beautiful and having all of the beach chairs, boogie boards, ice chests, etc. really helped.
The kitchen well appointed for cooking and the gas grill was great.

Loved the house. A block away from beautiful lava made beach with tide pools where you can meet turtles every morning. Also very close to nice beaches. Convenient location to get to Hawi, Waipio, Waimea, Hilo etc. the house has also beautiful backyard with hammock, flowering trees, front deck with nice sitting area. A responsible house manager who was very helpful in fixing issues.

A roomy, comfortable house in a great area with access to the beach just across the street. Sara, and also Jameson, are very available to smooth out any bumps.

Very comfortable and charming house across the beach from a lava beach. House is well stocked and all the beach equipment you could possibly need. The back third guesthouse is adorable even though we didn’t need it. I would stay here again!

We knew where we wanted to stay on the big island, and this house fit the bill. Across the street from the ocean, you can hear the waves crashing and feel the breeze dancing through the windows -- especially at night. There are bikes, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, chairs -- everything you need for a day or two at the beach. The kitchen has everything you need. The next time we visit the Big Island, we will certainly stay here again.

Good overall property. Location was great, Sara was awesome and house was pretty good. There were a few attention to details that would have made this a 5 star property for me. All of the outdoor seating was covered if very thick dust/dirt and Yard debris. It is windy there however I cleaned it when we got there and it wasn’t as dirty when we left s week later as it was when we arrived to the property. The white couches are a nice touch but very stained and feel dirty since it wasn’t a practical color for the beach environment. It made it hard to cozy up on them with all the dirt stains and lastly the dressers are not very functional and would get stuck constantly to where I would have to leave the drawers open so I could access my clothes. These changes would make this a 5 start stay for me. Nice property and a great location

We really enjoyed our stay here in Puako away from the tourist packed Kona. We could walk across the street and watch the sunset, investigate the tide pools or drive 5 mins to the best beaches on the island. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking instruments needed and we used the grill often. Ate outside every night!
Note that the 2nd bedroom is right between the kitchen and family room, with little sound proofing, so if you have light sleepers in your group, that room is not for them. The 3rd bedroom is a disconnected pod with lots of privacy. But, the outdoor shower isn’t totally private. Our group didn’t seem to mind.

We had a lovely time at this home in Puako with our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). Great location, all beds comfortable, spacious layout for a family, cool beach gear provided (boogie boards, chairs, bikes), excellent host. The kitchen was well equipped, the patios and gardens were relaxing to hang out on and the house is directly across from the rocky Puako shore with daily visits from sea turtles. We wish we could live here forever and will surely be back!

Sunrise and sunset on a beach just across the street. What can be beat? We have rented several homes on Puako Beach Drive, but this home was the BEST. Quiet neighborhood, spacious lanai mountain and ocean side, and a well equipped kitchen and laundry. Nice bikes and beach chairs, great garden shower, and good walking to many shoreline access points.
We were grateful for the good aircon on some more humid days. Our hostess was fabulous in reacting quickly to any questions we had from start to finish. Highly recommend her and this relaxing home away from home.
