Guest Access:
Guests will have full use and access to condo and grounds. The pool deck and public BBQ area is shared with other persons in building.
The Neighborhood:
Puako is still the only ocean front residential community along the Gold Coast/Kohala Coast of the Big Island nestled between the Mauna Lani Resort, Fairmont Orchid and Mauna Kea/Hapuna Resorts. Hapuna Beach State Park has earned the reputation of being one of Hawaii Island's finest beaches. It is the largest White Sands Beach on The Big Island and consistently rates on Top Ten lists internationally. Hapuna Beach offers some wonderful opportunities for swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, sunbathing and snorkeling and is just a mile from Puako. You can even drive the back road to Hapuna Beach and not get on the Highway. Local shore fisherman can be seen daily enjoying the great reef fishing. Puako Beach Drive has no through access which keeps it virtually still undiscovered by many.
There are six separate "beach" accesses along this stretch of beach. Although there is not a tremendous amount of sand, there are tide pools and the extensive protected reef is remarkable. During low tide, small pools dot the entire coastline and these pools are filled with small sea life that make excellent areas to explore for all ages. If you enjoy shore diving, kayaking and snorkeling you can find a spot along this stretch of shoreline to enter the water. Offshore the reef is home to a wide variety of fish and many days you will see dolphins playing right from the shore. Enjoy the Whales who return each year to mate and give birth in the tropical warm waters during the winter months.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended for getting around the area and enjoying all that Hawaii Island has on offer.
Interaction with Guests:
We like to say hello in person, but keep to ourselves otherwise. We are a professional management company and are available to assist you at any time during your stay.

8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2025
We recently stayed at the Puako Condo and overall had a nice experience, though there are a few things future guests should be aware of.Let’s start with the good: the location is fantastic—peaceful, scenic, and perfectly situated for exploring the Kohala Coast. The ocean view from the lanai is absolutely incredible—sunsets here are something special. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the pool area is clean, quiet, and inviting. You can tell the exterior of the property is well cared for.Inside the unit, however, things felt a bit outdated—particularly the beds. It genuinely felt like we were sleeping on someone’s 20-year-old mattress. The comfort level was noticeably lacking, and the bedding (sheets and blankets) was similarly tired and very cheap-feeling. This was the biggest downside of our stay and something that could be easily improved with some thoughtful investment.Cleanliness was okay overall, but clearly, certain areas like under the couch haven’t been touched in a while—which was a bit off-putting. The air conditioner worked well and was definitely appreciated, but note that only the main bedroom and living room are cooled. The second bedroom gets quite warm, especially at night.All in all, the condo has amazing potential and is in a prime spot. With updated beds and a little more attention to interior detail, it could be a five-star stay. Hope to see those improvements for next time!

This place was great! There is a grocery store 15 minutes away in the resort town. This location is peaceful, close to beaches, and so relaxing.
We'll be back!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2011
Wonderful view, plenty of room for our family of five, 4 adults, one teenager. Unit needs TLC, and a much better cleaning service.Large carpet stain in the living room when we arrived, came right up with a little Resolve and a paper towel. Insufficient supplies, no extra toilet paper, no spices, even salt and pepper
Cheap mirror on the back of the bedroom door broke into a million pieces when the door slammed when a gust of wind came through. This could have caused serious injury. We spent an hour cleaning up all the little pieces, vacumning etc.
Lots of little things broken, drawer pulls in back bedroom, small appliances that did not work in the kitchen. Unit has lots of potential, it just needs some owner care. We own a vacation rental ourselves and know that it takes constant care, providing the customer with the basics and a good management team.
