Beautiful views and great location to amazing beaches & snorkeling

We loved the property and the condo fit our needs perfectly. A family of 5 with 3 kids from ages 5-14 and a grandma, we all had an amazing time! It was August and quite warm without AC but that made it easy to get outside and swim in the pool or ocean.

Great place

This place was everything as advertised. Though to be clear it does not have ac. It was above average heat for a couple of days but we were still in paradise. Puako is very quiet, as is the property. Short walk to the beaches for snorkeling. If you want a swimming beach we highly recommend driving to Hapuna (maybe 8-10 minutes away). One of the best beaches in Hawaii! The condo was perfect for our needs

Puako is lovely.

Puako is a lovely slow paced area with quaint public beaches across the street from the condo. Well stocked condo for our family. We loved all the nearby beaches and the turtles. Will come back again.

Outstanding beautiful stay

The condo is in a fantastic location, with the pictures being 100% accurate. It is within a 10 minute drive to 3 outstanding public beaches (Hapuna, Mauna Kea and Beach 69) and within15 minutes to the grocery store in Waikoloa. The view of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom is postcard worthy, and the views of the mountains and sunrises out the front door is fantastic as well. The condo is well maintained, with ample towels and kitchen utensils as well as a couple of beach umbrellas and a boogie board. I would absolutely rent this condo again in the future, as it was perfect for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. A few notes I have for prospective renters: first, this is the best rental you are going to find on this part of the island outside of a resort. It is within a walk to the ocean and a short drive to world class beaches. Second, the Puako General store next door has snorkel gear to rent for cheap ($25 for the week), but not much else, so if you need food, go to the KTA in Waikoloa (I do not recommend to the Foodland that is a little closer; it is super tiny and was packed with resort dwellers). Third, bring binoculars so you can watch the whales from the lenai! It was a highlight of our stay! I have stayed in A LOT of rentals all over the country and this is absolutely one of my top stays! Do not hesitate to book this condo!

best condo in Puako

We've stayed at Puako condos many times but this was the best. It was not very crowded because of covid but the condo was clean and well stocked with lot's of herbs and spices and every cooking tool you would need. The condo has yoga now on tuesday and saturdays at 7:30 and that is so good and you can easily meet some of the locals. They were very helpful in getting you oriented and telling us the best food, shopping, snorkeling etc.. We brought bikes and our SUP and were able to ride all over Puako and Waikoloa/Mauna Lani and also were able to SUP with the whales in the am. The location is idylic because it's right across the street from the best turtle snokeling/reef and also the best place to put in for SUPing. We love going to 69 beach and hapuna and that's very close by. We've stayed at Puako condos about 6 times thus far and wouldn't stay anywhere else. 407 is especially nice because you can see the ocean clearly and can easily make out whale spouting and breaching. What a great place.

As advertised; Two things to note

Property is as advertised. Photos and description are accurate. No problems with management company. Two items to note: (1) The windows are louvred, so they don't seal tightly like regular windows. As a result, it can get pretty noisy if the wind is blowing hard. It's just something to be aware of; and (2) The rental agreement is pretty aggressive. I accept the idea of releasing the landlord from liability, but "indemnifying" them is pretty ridiculous. Just be aware of the liability that you are accepting when you book.

Fantastic

Puako 407 is wonderful. It’s on the 4th floor so there is a beautiful view of the ocean and you can hear waves lapping on the shore day and night. We were there in Feb 2019 so we also saw whales from the balcony/porch!!! It’s close to many wonderful beaches. Having the General Store right next door is so handy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and then some. The bathrooms were spacious and the showers were hot with great pressure. You can see the ocean from the king size bed!!! Everyone we met was super friendly. The leasing experience with VRBO was easy and Jay answered all my questions and offered lots of good area info about where to rent bikes, kayaks etc. The neighborhood is quiet with easy access to the beach. I highly recommend Puako Condos!!!

Perfect set up for a family.

We enjoyed our time in Puako. It was located near 3 beautiful white beaches. Take advantage of cooking yourself or packing lunches for days at the beach.

Comfortable condo in a great location

We really enjoyed our vacation at the Puako Beach condo. The condo was clean, quiet, well-equipped and comfortable. Puako Beach Drive is away from the heavy traffic of Kailua Kona. We saw sea turtles at Puako Beach and swam at nearby Waialea Beach and Spencer Beach. The balcony has a great view of the ocean, especially at sunset.

Very nice location with a view! Just across a two lane road from the beach.

Very clean, well kept with a view. This is a very nice 3 bedroom, two bath accommodation. The grounds are beautiful with fresh fruit on the trees. The pool is clean and refreshing. The location is quiet but still close to great beaches and only a short drive to shopping and restaurants.

Great Place to Stay

The Puako Condo was fabulous. It was in a great location on a quiet street, but literally three minutes from snorkeling and 5 minutes from a state park beach. It was also close to the main highway so easy access to and from where ever you want to go. The condo had everything you need, from kitchen supplies to towels to beach toys. It was roomy and well laid out. Not beach front but nice view of the ocean. The rental contact, Pattie, was easy to contact and available if I needed anything. I would stay there again...and again.

Stop and smell the Plumeria!...even in the elevator!

Aloha Pattie , I wanted to take the time to let you know how much my Wife and I enjoyed our stay here in Hawaii and , in particular our accommodations at the condo . The location was excellent and close to both the Kona airport we flew into and our daughter in Waimea. The condo itself was nicely furnished , clean and the fourth floor was great for viewing both the sunrise ( from backside ) and sunsets from the comfortable deck out front ! We pride ourselves on respecting other people's property and I'm certain that the owners will be pleased with how clean the unit was left by Us. I also want to give a Big " Thumbs Up " to Sarah the caretaker for her excellent work she does on everything from keeping the grounds spotless to fresh , fragrant flowers in the elevator every morning ! Thank you for all your help with our vacation in Paradise and enjoy your summer ! Sincerely , Walter

Honu Paradise

Puako is one of my favorite places and saying in this condo is certainly part of it. The clean, spacious condo has everything a family would need to relax and enjoy the fantastic Hawaiian vacation. We woke up daily to the birds chirping on the beautiful palm tree right outside our lanai. Our 2 year old daughter was IN LOVE with the pool. The small kiddie pool was perfect for her. The general store next to the condos has everything you could need and even movies to rent, which was a nice bonus for an evening in. We took daily morning walks along the beach where my daughter collected her treasures and counted the beautiful turtles taking a sun bath! It was amazing to see that many turtles just cruising in the tide pools. She hasn't stopped talking about them :) We discovered Wailea Bay or as the locals call it Beach 69 just a mile away. The condo had some snorkel gear on hand so we took that and some boogie boards down to now my favorite beach. Great place to see some amazing fish and there is plenty of spots for shade which was great for a small child. At the end of each of our busy beach and pool days we felt very lucky to have found such a gem of a place to stay. The condo exudes the right amount of Hawaiian spirit and comes with a view that cannot be beat. My family will certainly be returning to this piece of paradise!
