Photos and Description of the Puako vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 3.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 8)

Nestled comfortably within the graceful curve of Puako Bay, this home site is protected by a whale’s tail-shaped lava outcropping. A light and airy house with cathedral ceilings, it offers peaceful comfort, spectacular views and the gentle sounds of water lapping on the shore. Set Located well back from Puako Beach Drive, next door to the tiny historic Hokuloa Church, the Whale’s Tail is a surprise delight: nothing from the street side prepares you for the landscaped yard, large and sunny patio, covered lanai…right next to the sandy beach and quiet waters of the Pacific Ocean. Configured to sleep eight in three bedrooms with three baths, the Whale’s Tail offers views of the bay, Maui and its volcanic mountain Haleakala, and our own Kohala Mountains

Combine the sandy beach next to your back yard with the thoughtfully placed windows that give you excellent views from nearly every spot in the house—upstairs and down—and you’ll love the Whale’s Tail for you Hawaii vacation. Not only is the entire ocean-facing wall built with windows, but also an additional row of large clerestory windows above them ensures that the second- floor loft space and bedrooms have ocean and sunset views. The décor throughout the home echoes the beach, ocean, sky and mountain environment: clean white walls, sandy shades of upholstery, blue-gray cabinetry and tiles of sand and sea colors. Original, local artwork—even in the bathrooms—adds to your sense of place in this very special corner of paradise.

Great house, wonderful location

5 of 5
Submitted: January 26, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We stayed in this wonderful house for a week-long vacation with our 3 young children. The house is great! Everything you could possibly want was provided for: beach chairs, coolers, towels, beach toys, all kitchen items for cooking, an outdoor grill, etc. The home is right on the beach at Puako. We especially like the beach here: there's a coral reef a couple hundred yards out which protects the beach from big waves, so the beach here was like a big salt-water swimming pool, fairly level and shallow. It was great to be steps from the ocean, and just down the road from Hapuna Beach and some of the best beaches in the world. Families with small children will love this home. There's a gate between the back yard and the path to the beach. This home is also a great "base camp" for trips to Waimea, Kewaihae, Kona etc.
Finally, we were very impressed with the "2 Papayas" rental agents: they were very helpful and professional throughout.

OUR PRIVATE OASIS

5 of 5
Submitted: November 23, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Whales Tail is our favorite ride ever! We left on Nov. 4 and today is the day after Thanksiving so it is most appropriate that we give our thanks to our favorite escape into our personal serenity. We have spent well over 100 days at this little stretch of paradise. It is so private and unique. It sits in your own private bay where we swim and often see not another soul. Sunsets from the water,palm trees waving from our porch, and a rare sandy beach to explore. Whether we jump in the car and drive 5 minutes to a multitude of restaurants, or stay in and BBQ, this has all the comforts of our home...from brewed Kona coffee mornings to sipping our favorite drinks from the porch gazing at the sailboats in the bay. We give thanks to have such a wonderful retreat to return every year.

Whale's Tail Ohana house was wonderful for the 4 of us. Spectacular views of the Kohala Coast and Maui, whales breaching just offshore, nice calm little beach protected by reef, lots of space and privacy, and Mary and her crew made the stay absolutely wonderful.

This was our 4 th trip to Hawaii, 3 rd to Kohala coast. Everyone of our group of 6 had high expectations, and each for different reason. This was to be a celebration of my father's 80 B-day and a graduation gift for my daughter after a challenging medical training. Romantic trip for my son and his girlfriend. Relaxing time for my single 18 year old son and a quiet nostalgic time for me. We were not disappointed! The beautiful bay, mountains, turtles, singing birds....and the beach house itself spacious with wide veranda and patio so tastefully set up, furnished and decorated was soothing in itself. The kitchen is very well equipped in everything a gourmet cook could possibly need...all 3 of my children believe they are in this category. They cooked and barbecued. We celebrated all our events under the starry dark Hawaiian sky. I had my quiet nostalgic time and read a historic novel about Catherine of Aragon. We enjoyed walks to the local store for many things and it was very practical to have basic products delivered before our arrival. My father is convinced this was the best vacation in his life, but would not mind returning to improve some impressions. We still did not managed to climb on Mauna Kea, but we had a great glimpse of it in the setting sun one evening. I hope we can return soon. I strongly recommend it to any family or group of friends.
