Photos and Description of the Puako vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Four generations of the island-based Black family have owned and loved this special oasis by the sea, presided over by the oldest and largest banyan tree in Puako. The family’s handiwork is present in the ocean-side groves of coconut palms soaring 15 to 35 feet high: on the right are palms named and planted by individual family members, many as young children, or in honor of special friends; on the left, special events are marked by a separate grove. Together, the palms frame sunsets and the neighboring island of Maui, dominated by the 10,000-foot-high mountain of Haleakala.

The property was chosen by the family matriarch in the early 1950s for its location along some of the best tidal pools in Puako, where children can swim, fish and play, protected by a perimeter of ancient lava flows. The adjacent “Big Rock” rises above the pools, setting the stage for social gatherings and sunset watching. Turtles come to call daily, feeding on the seaweed at the Big Rock’s edge. In the winter, humpback whales pass by, 100-plus yards offshore, cavorting with their young. With the constant sea breezes, the rustling coconut palms and waves provide a natural rhythm of music to this idyllic setting.

This is a wonderful property, with EVERYTHING you could ever want or need! 2 Papayas manages this property very well, to include a stunning tropical arrangement, fresh papayas, cold drinks, and a cold washcloth on arrival! They are also there to answer and assist with any questions or concerns. This is the 2nd consecutive year that we have rented this exquisite property, and hope to be able to return next year.
I like the fact that there is salt, pepper, and other spices, and dry goods that previous renters have used. Da Fish House for fresh fish is great, as well as Greg Kaufman's boat out of Kohala Dive Shop (because he lets you keep your fish!). The general store has (surprisingly) good fresh produce, a paperback book swap library, and also sells beer, etc.
The house is great for 2 couples...even though it is a 3 bathroom house...the "day bed" in the living room is in view of anyone downstairs. If I had a 3rd couple, I would suggest renting the tree house, also on the property. The washer and dryer is a great convenience.
The sunsets and sound of the surf from this rental is great! Lots of room for shade or sun, and the whale watching, petroglyphs, and beach walking are an added bonus.
While I like to share positive experiences with potential renters, I just hope the house is available the next time we want to rent this awesome property!

This was our fourth stay on the Big Island, and this house was by far the best we have rented. It is simply perfect: it is very well maintained, very clean, very private, and is an ideal setting for people who want to relax, read and enjoy the spectacle of nature (tides coming in and out) from their breakfast table. It's also perfect for those who like to walk as you can walk all the way to Hapuna Beach via the quiet Road, or on the other side to Mauna Lani. Personally, I just could not make myself leave for very long as I knew how special this house was. Nothing beats the illusion that the tide pool in front of the house is yours, and my daughter actually called it "her" swimming-pool. Puako is a special place on the island, and we hope we can rent this perfect house again. It's simply idyllic.

I miss this place so much! We are already making plans to come back. The snorkeling is amazing with turtles every day. I also saw a bat ray and a spotted eagle ray this year! Spinner dolphins came by one day. The house is so comfortable. We spent so much time on the lanai just reading, eating, and lounging with the constant breeze and sounds of the wind and ocean to soothe us. The hospitality of Robbie, Mary, and their friend Holly was unmatched.

Perfect Big Island Beach House

My wife and I hugely enjoyed our week here: the best ocean vista on Puako Road with tide pools at your feet and views toward Kawaihae and even Maui (in the distance) framed by bending palms. Meals on the lanai; efficient and well equipped kitchen; handsome simple Hawaiian decor; clean and well-maintained property; open indoor-outdoor living; lovely upstairs house-wide balcony off the two bedrooms to catch the breeze and enjoy watery sunsets. It's just what a beach house should be and feels well loved by the family that owns it. Super snorkeling just a mile away at the incomparable Wailea Bay Beach (south of Hapuna Beach) -- go early on weekday mornings for calm water and to avoid crowds on weekends. A good farmer's market up the mountain in Kamuela-Waimea for local produce and delicacies like poha berry jam ( a favorite). We're already nostalgic for Banyan Tree and still going through withdrawal...In short: highly recommended!

We had a dream vacation at this lovely house in a terrific, ocean front setting. From the outset, working with 2 Papayas LLC to make arrangements was easy. We felt very cared for. They were flexible, warm, professional--just a delight. The house is beautiful, clean and well-maintained, and very inviting. Being right on the ocean is just plain magical. Beautiful. Moreover, just put on your flippers, mask, and snorkel, swim out 2 or 3 minutes, and there you are at a beautiful canyon with gorgeous fish. Go left, follow the canyon parallel to the shore, and then go in at the beach at the end of Puako road. A three minute walk home--wow! For scuba diving, Kona Diving Company is fantastic. Friendly and very good at spotting all sorts of undersea life. We even got to see Laverne, a very big and very well fed tiger shark. My one reservation in writing this review is that this house is so terrific that when we wish to go again, there will be no openings available. So, please don't tell all your friends, just your best friends. And do go through 2 Papayas LLC. They are GREAT!
