About this house rental

Throw a pebble into the Pacific Ocean from your lanai.
Hale Aloha is a detached, very private, oceanfront guest house located in the magical neighborhood of Puako, next to Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Ocean breezes and ceiling fans keep the home comfortable year around.

Typical of the beachfront homes that have made Puako so beloved, Hale Aloha is ideal for couples who appreciate a sense of place in a perfectly maintained Hawaiian-style beach house. This property is perfect for lounging and enjoying the sunshine and ocean air. Ocean access is adjacent to Hale Aloha, an ideal location to go fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddling.

Please note the Cottage is on an upper level accessible only by stairs.
The Main House, with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, is also available for rental at VRBO674382.

Puako is one of the sunniest destinations in Hawaii with a unique blend of old Hawaii charm and pristine coastline. Each day is filled with the sound of the sea, coconut trees swaying in the tropical breeze and the beauty of Hawaii. You share the ocean with sea turtles, humpback whales, and play on an oceanfront rich with sea life. Your day ends with one of the most stunning sunsets in the world.

Hale Aloha was built in the 1950's, and was completely renovated in 2014 without losing its Old Hawaiian charm. The fun and playful decor with plantation doors, wood louver windows, and historic floor tile is a tropical retreat!

The warm ocean is your swimming pool. Protected and only 2-5 feet deep with a mostly sandy bottom, it is home to green sea turtles and colorful fish. Just beyond the reef-protected lagoon is the best snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking in Hawaii. In low tide, the tidal pools will inspire, January through May, you can watch the humpback whales play and breach.
Morning walks along the two-lane Puako Beach Drive will find you at Puako's famous ancient Hawaiian rock carvings, the largest example of Petroglyphs in the world. There is also a grocery store in walking distance.

Perfect ocean front studio.

VRBO reviewWe absolutely adored this rental! I think my only “criticism” is that I can never judge the kitchen pictures and be able to tell how truly stocked it is. This one had everything and more to make our stay comfortable. Excellent water temp and pressure, wonderfully comfortable bed - always a crap shoot - , and it’s location feels remote and intimate, even though it’s not.Had it not been for friends keeping Puako a secret we never would have known about this amazing community north of Kona. Sea turtles all day, every day, you can see looking out from the porch. Tide pools you can carefully wade through and walk along to look at all the marine life. Wake up to local birds chatting every morning. 30min walk to a “locals” beach with amazing snorkeling and natural shade to stay out of direct sun. Our first trip to the Big island was absolutely cemented as one of the best vacations and this rental played a huge role in our experience.

Perfect spot for two people to enjoy the best of the Big Island. Beautiful area and beautiful accommodations. The sunsets from the lanai were particularly amazing.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The location was just as expected. Ocean front but not easy to enter the ocean from the property. This is a nice beach cottage but could use some TLC. Shade would be wonderful for the outside seating areas. There are no comfortable chairs to sit in. Cushions were worn out or missing. Maybe they could add a few hooks to the kitchen and bathroom.
