Guest Access:
Guests will have full use and access to home and grounds. No shared spaces.
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 had a great time but a good experience. The AC in the master bedroom stopped working and the pictures on VRBO do not reflect the current status on the home, which I would rate 7 out of 10. The views are beautiful.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
In the last three years we have stayed at three different properties in the area and this one was particularly amazing! We look forward to returning (and have even started looking at dates). Hale Laulea is even better than the pictures. It is bright and spacious. It has great air circulation so you can open screened windows to have natural air flow without running the AC. It is well furnished, comfortable, and has an incredibly well-stocked kitchen. It has a great layout that accommodates a single couple, multiple adults, and/or families for a reunion or special celebration. We loved the spectacular view and especially appreciated the heated spa. The house was clean, includes a covered carport that keeps the car cool should you decide to leave paradise for nearby beaches, historical sites, restaurants, etc. The management team staff are very friendly and responsive (e.g., replacing a randomly chirping smoke detector, sharing tips for things to do). We highly recommend this home for your next getaway (assuming it’s available).

This is a beautiful property, just as the photos indicate. It is very well appointed, from everything for the kitchen, to the beach. The location is very peaceful, which affords to enjoying the beautiful views from sunrise to sunset, and stargazing. The communication with management was very good.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
As advertised. The view and ambience is incredible- The highlight of our days was coming back here to swim and soak in the mountains and ocean views. And watch the sunset! The house is very well stocked, the care instructions are clear, and the owners are communicative if needed. It might seem far from some amenities, but not prohibitively so. We used the house as a base for exploring the island and had a wonderful stay.Thank you! We can’t wait to return!
