House in Kamuela, Big Island, HI
Property details
Puako 74 is an exceptional property, comprising of a magnificent main house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as an attached one bedroom "ohana'' guest suite, ideal for a family with a new baby, grandparents, a quiet, creative and comfortable work space, or a couple seeking a romantic retreat. This stunning estate boasts classic vintage style with gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings and ocean views from every room. Combined with all the modern comforts and conveniences such as highspeed Wifi network, flat screen TVs and air-conditioning in every room, Sonos sound systems, and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, every guest can enjoy the best of both worlds! A sweeping, wrap-around lanai and expansive lawn shaded by a majestic, decades-old banyan tree offers guests just as much enjoyment outdoors as indoors.
Enter the main house through wide double doors that open into a sumptuous foyer and great room, consisting of a lavish living room, grand dining area and comprehensive gourmet kitchen. An open floor-plan allows family and friends to hang out together while cooking, savoring a beverage at the long granite bar, dining at the grand wooden table or relaxing on the two large and luxurious sofas. The bright and spacious primary bedroom, situated at the end of the long window-lined hallway provides privacy with a king-size bed and ensuite bath, featuring a luxurious soaking tub, separate tiled shower and double sink vanity. Sliding glass doors from the primary bedroom open onto the lanai just steps away from the ocean. A spacious walk-in closet provides plush bathrobes and all the space you'll need for your vacation attire.
The three bedrooms in the main house all offer ocean views, each with flat screen smart TVs, ceiling fans and independent air-conditioning controls. Bedroom 2 is a Jr. Primary Suite, with a king-size bed, ensuite bath with double sinks, glass shower and double pocket doors that open onto the ocean-viewing hallway. Bedroom 3 is ideal for the kids or friends, with two twin beds, ensuite bath, and double pocket doors to the hallway and sliding doors to the lanai. A laundry room off the hallway provides the space and convenience you need with a washer and dryer, folding area, laundry sink and in-wall ironing board.
The upstairs "ohana" guest suite is connected to the house with an interior staircase as well as a private entrance from an outdoor stairway. This self-contained, charming suite has everything you need and offers a peaceful haven with its own shady lanai overlooking the lush garden and sparkling ocean. Each room in the ohana is equipped with flat screen smart TVs, independent split air-conditioning controls and ceiling fans. It also includes a separate bedroom with a queen-size bed, an ensuite bathroom with a roomy tiled shower, full kitchen with gas range, breakfast bar and a washer and dryer. Open the sliding glass doors to the lanai and enjoy the fresh ocean air gliding through the rooms! The lanai is nestled under the eves of the mighty banyan tree and is furnished with an inviting daybed, bistro set and comfy lounge chairs. Take pleasure in enjoying an afternoon nap while listening to the sounds of the birds in the trees and ocean waves lapping at the shore.
Whale-watching season (November to March) brings the majestic Humpback whales who migrate here to birth their babies in the warm Hawaiian waters. The inviting shelter of Puako Bay makes it one of their favorite locales. Watch in amazement from your private lanai as these magnificent mammals breach out of the water right in front of your eyes! You can also enjoy these dazzling blue waters year-round with plenty of snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing right outside your back door!
Situated about 30 miles north of Kailua-Kona, Puako is a dearly loved oceanfront community comprising of year-round residents, returning "snowbirds", and a diverse variety of vacation rentals. A two-mile two-lane road that ends at a private estate and public beach where surfers seek epic waves, fishermen find their catch, and people simply enjoy the peace and beauty, Puako is a unique locale in the Hawaiian Islands. The nearby Puako General Store provides a convenient stop for various goods and sundries, ready-made food and local souvenirs.

Perfect!! Everything, absolutely everything you could possibly need and more. We will definitely be returning to this home. We were blessed to have the home to prepare for our wedding and the house is great for that. Turtles every day, whales jumping, and views are heavily. Thank you for the memories, Aloha đď¸

Place was very clean. It was right on the water so the kids absolutely loved it. The house was full of amenities and things to make your stay better like beach toys, beach towels, wonderful kitchen, etc⌠loved the location and how we were in the middle of all the activities we had. The upper âapartmentâ like quarters was amazing for grandparents to stay with us but be able to spread out themselves.

Overall, the house and the property were great. The home was well maintained, clean, and all the needed amenities for a great vacation were in place. The beach is great, and fantastic snorkeling is available right there. We had three generations staying in the house, everyone was comfortable and had plenty of space to relax inside and out. The issue we had was not with the property but with the fact that a house is being constructed next door. This should have been disclosed in the information provided about the home. We would rent the property again.

This house is fabulous and the sound of the ocean permeates throughout. An oversized lanai is great for catching ocean breezes. It is very well equipped and has a ânewly builtâ feel. The kitchen has professional appliances, pots/pans/every kitchen tool imaginable. The mattresses are very comfortable and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house was very well stocked with luxury shampoo & conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, paper towel, laundry detergent, dish washer detergent, hand soap, etc.. They even had yoga mats and binoculars. Every space, inside and out, is deliberately planned for optimum enjoyment. Even the beach gear was highest quality: Tommy Bahama. Our absolute favorite activity was finding turtles on the beach out back early in the morning and watching them return to the ocean. You WILL see multiple turtles every day. Exploring the oceanâs edge and multiple tidal pools was fun - they had fish, little crabs, and sea urchins. A nearby General Store is quaint but has nearly every needed essential as well as great coffee and home made chocolate chip cookies. Here is a point I did not know: the ocean that abuts the property is not a wading beach (except for very adventurous and fearless folks). But there is beautiful Hapuna Beach which is a nine minute drive, that has wonderful white sand, and beautiful sunsets! Take a right out of the property and at the end you will find a great place to snorkel (terrain is a bit tough but worth it)!
