The Neighborhood:

Puako is still the only ocean front residential community along the Gold Coast/Kohala Coast of the Big Island nestled between the Mauna Lani Resort, Fairmont Orchid and Mauna Kea/Hapuna Resorts. Hapuna Beach State Park has earned the reputation of being one of Hawaii Island's finest beaches. It is the largest White Sands Beach on The Big Island and consistently rates on Top Ten lists internationally. Hapuna Beach offers some wonderful opportunities for swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, sunbathing and snorkeling and is just a mile from Puako. You can even drive the back road to Hapuna Beach and not get on the Highway. Local shore fisherman can be seen daily enjoying the great reef fishing. Puako Beach Drive has no through access which keeps it virtually still undiscovered by many.
There are six separate "beach" accesses along this stretch of beach. Although there is not a tremendous amount of sand, there are tide pools and the extensive protected reef is remarkable. During low tide, small pools dot the entire coastline and these pools are filled with small sea life that make excellent areas to explore for all ages. If you enjoy shore diving, kayaking and snorkeling you can find a spot along this stretch of shoreline to enter the water. Offshore the reef is home to a wide variety of fish and many days you will see dolphins playing right from the shore. Enjoy the Whales who return each year to mate and give birth in the tropical warm waters during the winter months.
Getting Around:

A car is recommended for getting around the area and enjoying all that Hawaii Island has on offer.

Interaction with Guests:

We like to say hello in person, but keep to ourselves otherwise. We are a professional management company and are available to assist you at any time during your stay.

Located in Kamuela, this vacation home is near the beach. While the natural beauty of Hāpuna Beach State Recreation Area and Mauna Kea Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Mauna Lani Resort Golf Course.
Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's going on at Rutgers Tennis Center, or consider a night out at Anna Ranch Heritage Center. Fishing offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and horse riding nearby.
