About this property

Ocean front cottage with beach access from patio.

Take a step back in time, vintage Hawaii with the ocean at your lanai. How time on the Big Island is supposed to be enjoyed. A charming little beach house that was recently remodeled. The sound of the waves and breezes in the palm trees are mystical. They wake you with music of Hawaii's birds or they lull you to sleep when the tide eases in at night. Sunsets are year around, and Hale Kai sunsets are mother nature's version of fireworks. Sitting out on the oceanfront deck you can watch the turtles arrive to bask in sun before they rest. There is usually at least one or two lazy turtles enjoying the day on the beach. The short stone stairway leads directly to the beach, where it is a very short walk to the turtle sleeping area. The property has a wonderful grassy area around it with mature trees to sit under or place a chair to watch the afternoon go by.

We do not do instant booking because we want 24 hours between guests to allow for proper cleaning and sanitization. Thank you and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Ultimate oceanfront
The host is very responsive to questions. The kitchen is very well equipped. The house is ultimate oceanfront - especially the elevated table and chairs above the sea wall - great place to watch for the green flash. Sea turtle resting area just south - please keep your distance. It would accommodate 2 couples with bedrooms separated by living/dining and kitchen area. Would highly recommend.

We love Puako but don't tell anyone!
Great place but one minor complaint; there are some very heavy "logs" leaning on the inside of the wall that obstruct the view a bit. It looks like someone was doing beach maintenance but they don't belong in the back yard.

Incredible Location and View.
We rented this home for the view only, it is incredible. We have been to the area many times in hotels and have loved it. We spent 10 days in the home and truthfully we didn’t feel much of a need to leave it. Great sunsets. Saw whales everyday, turtles every evening. Home is very comfortable and a great place to just chill. We highly recommend this home if you just want to relax and get away.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Gilliom

Host profile image
My wife Kathy and I have lived on the Big Island for over 20 years. Between the two of us we enjoy golfing, snorkeling, biking, a good book and sunsets.

Why they chose this property

This property has the simplicity I enjoy when visiting Puako. The deck out back is unique that you have a 240 degree of the coast line and fantastic sunsets. This property faces a little more southernly than other houses in Puako so it gets amazing sunset all year round. Hello--- Instagram and Facebook Make your friends jealous. It is a special house for us and hope it will be special for you as well.
