Photos and Description of the Puako vacation house rental 3 BR, 3 BA, Sleeps 6.

This dream house was completed in July 06 and designed as a primary residence, which is plain to see from the exquisite plantation style design, attention to detail, amenities (high-end gourmet kitchen and outdoor hot tub) and quality furnishings. Three bedrooms (2 with queens, and one with a king or 2 twins), 3 full baths, 3,000 sq/ft interior living space plus 1000 sq/ft of covered lanai, 22 foot high ceilings in the great room, high ceilings in all of the bedrooms, expansive windows and cool ocean breezes welcome you to this ocean front retreat. An experienced local realtor noted this as her favorite lanai on the entire island. From the lanai, it feels like you can touch the water, which is a mere 25 feet away. 'The pictures just do not do this place justice' is a typical comment from past satisfied guests, and seeing truly is believing as the beauty, serenity and user-friendliness of Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary fulfills your every accomodation need and desire.

Location: Big Island Hawaii < Hawaii < USA

Nearest Airport: Kona (KOA) at 25 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 8.0 Metres
Car: recommended
Located in the heart of magical Puako, the only non-gated/resort beach front community on the Kohala (West) Coast of the Big Island. This is truly an Old Hawaiian Beach Town which feels far from the resorts and tourists, but is an easy drive to world class restaurants, hotels, beaches, golf courses, and conveniences (Kona Airport is only 30 minutes away, Waimea – 15 minutes away.) The Green Sea Turtles call Puako home and are seen daily in front of the house. In the winter months the humpback whales come amazingly close to shore in Puako with their new offspring. The ocean access in front of the house is the easiest in Puako to launch kayaks, go scuba diving, snorkeling or just play in the waves. Most locals consider Puako the best scuba diving and snorkeling on the Big Island. In the winter months swells make the beach park at the end of the road a fine surf and boogie board spot. 5 minutes away is Hapuna Beach a spectacular white sand beach.

A sanctuary for people too!

Dar & Eileen San Antonio, TX
Review Submitted: February 24, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2008
Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary is a beautiful blend of traditional Hawaiian styling with contemporary Asian influence. The house is spacious, with great decor, comfortable furnishings and fantastic interior lighting. The house is worth renting for access to the expansive lanai alone. Turtles came to the beach every day, we saw whales frequently and viewed spectacular daily sunsets. A great place to relax and watch the ocean, with a nice front and back yard. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped if you wish to cook. Beach access is rocky, but the snorkeling is superb! Puako is a nice, quiet community and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property managers, Kalia and Lon, are truly nice people and are sensitive to your requirements. Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary is a great choice for a Big Island vacation.

Puako Paradise

Happy to be in Hawaii Eugene, OR, U.S.A.
Review Submitted: November 11, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We just spent nine days with two other couples at Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary. We had a fabulous time! The house is perfect! The interior spaces are large and beautifully decorated and the kitchen is well equipped and big enough for many cooks. We spent hours on the oceanfront lanai--watching the turtles swim and come to rest on the beach, enjoying the spinner dolphins entertaining us while swimming by the house. We snorkeled right from the beach and saw a multitude of different fish on the reef. We visited Beach 69, Hapuna and the beach at Mauna Kea Resort, but we really didn't need to go anywhere. Everything we wanted was at Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary. It is truly paradise!

A Photographer's Heaven

Photographer in Heaven Sunnyvale, California
Review Submitted: October 31, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
As my daughter so aptly put it: "There is no justification to leave this place in order to see something somewhere else!" It's all right here: the beautiful ocean in all shades of blue and green; the sound of the waves; the sea life... sitting on the deck is just like looking at a vacation brochure!
The house is so lovingly designed and decorated, and the kitchen is so well equipped that it feels much more like visiting friends at their home rather than "renting a vacation place". An important feature for those of us with back issues: the beds are really comfy! The set up of the house offers possibilities for groups of people to spend time together but be able to separate too- it is ideal for a family (and friends) trip.
The breathtaking ocean life coaxed even me, an utterly non-aquatic and non-adventurous individual, out to the reef and marvel at the sights...wow, it is just like a David Attenborough documentary! Such an incredible experience to be right here with the fish and turtles- who are also very obliging in coming right up on the beach for an afternoon nap.
We had an absolutely gorgeous time!

More than a dream

Puako Dreamin' St. Louis, Mo.
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
There is not much to add to the comments already posted. Everything said before is SO TRUE. We could have dreamed this house and setting if we tried. The house is spacious and comfortable with a fabulous kitchen, plenty of ceiling fans and a beautiful lanai for watching sunsets. The snorkeling is amazing, and the sound of the water lapping the lava rock is constantly restful. Our family stayed there is June, and there is no reason to leave the property. If you do plan an excursion, coming back to 40 Puako is heaven.

Favorite Place In The World

Pleased in Puako Portland, Oregon
Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Once you stay at the Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary in Puako it will become your favorite place in the world. It's a bit of old Hawaii: a peaceful residential neighborhood tucked away without gates or road noise. There's just the constant whooshing of waves just a few feet beyond the lanai and a general store a short walk away that seems always to have what you need.

The house is perfect: luxurious but relaxed with lots of wood and windows; spacious but cozy with a great kitchen and master suite. But you'll spend most of your time on the huge shady lanai, watching the turtles paddling around in the shallow water or resting on the beach or watching the sun sizzle into the water as it goes down.

It's close to the best beaches on the island and some of the best snorkeling.

Prepare to unwind to a degree you never thought possible.
