Welcome to HALE I’A U’i, the “Beautiful Fish House”- a luxury oceanfront villa in peaceful Puako, one of the Big Island’s most magical old-Hawaii beach communities.
Here the ocean is your front yard in Puako Hawaii. Wake to gentle waves, snorkel or Scuba dive the vibrant reef right out in front, watch HONU(Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) sun on the lava rock tide-pools and soak in the heated spa as Maui’s mountains float on the horizon.
DIVE IN. CHILL OUT.REPEAT.
Explore the living reef filled with tropical fish, mysterious sea caves, coral gardens, sea turtles, tide pools, and warm island water. From November through March, watch Humpback whales breach, spout, and tail-slap offshore.
Relax in two shaded ocean view cabanas, cool off in the infinity edge lava stone spool (1.5’deep), unwind in the large heated spa, and watch your favorite game or movie from the spa.
Inside enjoy over 5,300 sq. ft of luxury with two oceanfront Great Rooms, a gourmet kitchen, 2 bars, two ice makers, huge pool table, and a cozy film room -perfect for friends and families to gather, play, cook, laugh, and reconnect.
Surrounded by palms, hibiscus, plumeria, tropical birds, starlit skies, and the soothing sound of the sea, Hale I’a U’i captures the relaxed beauty of old Hawaii.
Minutes from Mauna Lani, Orchid Fairmont, Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, you are close to world-class beaches, golf, dining, shopping, and Big Island adventures.
Hale I’a U’i is your private oceanfront escape-where turtles are your neighbors, the reef is your playground, and the waves sing you to sleep.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
We had a wonderful stay overall and would absolutely recommend this property. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house itself is spacious, well maintained, and perfect for families or groups. The bedrooms are all generously sized with excellent air conditioning—it almost felt like having three primary suites plus a great kids' room. The kitchen was also very well equipped and had everything we needed for cooking meals. One thing we overlooked when booking was that the pool is actually more of a spool—it's only about 20" deep. That was on us for not reading the listing more carefully, but it's worth mentioning for anyone expecting a traditional swimming pool.Despite these minor inconveniences, we had a great vacation. The home is beautiful, the location is hard to beat, and with a few maintenance improvements, it would be an exceptional place to stay.

Our second stay at this property. Unique location: Scuba / snorkel in — Scuba / snorkel out to some of the best coral reef in Hawaii. You’ll see the commercial snorkel and scuba boats moored off shore. Expensive but competitive for Hawaii if you consider the cost of 4 oceanfront hotel rooms. Stunning views. Capacity to prepare and serve food at a table for 8 people. Dream location for ocean lovers, but note that water access is challenging over lava rock & coral so not suitable for casual wading.
