About this house rental

Hale Nana Kohola (Whale Watch House) Located in the heart of Puako, offers a tropical retreat that showcases the best of Hawaii and is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. Escape to the sunny Kohala Coast on the Island of Hawaii. Hawaii's perfect year-round weather allows for your endless summer. Puako is one of the sunniest spots in all Hawaii. This tropical paradise meets the blue Pacific ocean. Hale Nana Kohola frames Haleakala, Maui's highest peak directly from the gorgeous lanais across the reflective HEATED infinity swimming pool.

Hale Nana Kohola is located on one of the most unique spots in all of Hawaii!! Puako is a quiet cul-de-sac street about 3 miles long. Puako is only one of two beachfront communities on a not a through street in all of Hawaii. Puako Beach has an old Hawaiian ambiance. Our entire community is a tropical paradise with only one access. There is only a handful of true beachfront vacation rentals in Puako Beach and Hale Nana Kohola ( the whale watch house) is one of the few.

Swim in the 360° infinity edge heated pool while overlooking the gorgeous lava and coral reef a few feet away.

We offer kayaking, snorkeling and stand-up paddling just steps from the lanai. All of the equipment is provided when you stay at our luxury vacation home!

You feel thoroughly at home, and completely at your best with every imaginable amenity. Designed to inspire, its beauty and connects you with the surrounding environment.

'Hale Nana Kohola' (the Whale watch House) is over 7000 sq ft under roof of architectural masterpiece on the beach in beautiful Puako. Several lanais to lounge around on when you're not at the beach. Kayaking and snorkeling only steps away in pristine clear coral reefs where Humpback whales come to breed.

Our home offers 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms with their own baths, a media room with a bath, an open living, dining and gourmet kitchen area with cathedral ceilings that opens to a huge covered lanai adjacent to the 46' 360 degree infinity pool. Each bedroom, the living and media room, each have a large flat screen TV complete with an advanced audio system. Great care was taken with the landscape, creating a beautiful palm tree oasis on the ocean side. This gorgeously designed home is topped off with a 3rd story 'whale watch' retreat that offers 360 degree view. New mattresses and luxurious bedding in all master and guest bedrooms (Oct 2023).

The swimming pool has direct access from the first floor. For children that are not water safe it is recommended that they wear a life vest when on the lanais in the vicinity of the pool.
Hale Nana Kohola has hosted numerous birthday, anniversary and other family celebrations for the past 10 years. Our house is constantly being upgraded and is in pristine condition. The Hawaiian Polynesian design has a couple of thousand square feet of lanais for amazing indoor and outdoor living.
.
Our media room is equipped with luxury chairs and a full bath for ‘overflow’ guests. There is also a Queen Murphy bed in the media room, which converts to the fifth bedroom.

Great care has been taken with the landscape of our beach house vacation rental, creating a beautiful Hawaiian oasis including a hammock stretched between two palms ocean side. This home is one of the few in Puako with a sandy beach right in front complete with the protected ‘lava reef pools’ for your little ones. The ancient Hawaiians have named one of the pools in front of Hale Nana Kohola the “Queens Bath”.

This gorgeously designed luxury vacation rental home is topped off with a 3rd story “whale watch” retreat that offers 360-degree views across the land and ocean from the sunrise over Mauna Kea to the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. One of the rituals at Hale Nana Kohola is watching the sunset from the chairs on the beach. And amazing sunsets they are!

    Stayed here with three generations of my family and it was the best week we have spent together; being here was all that we hoped for and more. The house is the most beautiful I have ever been in, and I have been very fortunate to be in quite a few spectacular houses; and, location, location, location. I think this area is one of the most outstanding in all the Islands.Moreover, this is clearly a well loved and cared for HOME. The artwork is so tasteful and fitting to the house and the Big Island.The kitchen is amazing, so spacious, well equipped and generously stocked with condiments, herbs, and even a large assortment of alcoholic drinks.Our granddaughters lived in the salt water pool and the sacred "Queens Pool" in the reef off the beach of the property. There were kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards and snorkeling gear to use. Being there is having your own private resort.Though it may be pricier than some other houses to rent, I definitely feel we got what we paid for. It was money well spent.We look forward to returning to Michele and Gordon's refuge.

    The property is absolutely amazing between the house, the pool and the beach! Amazing views and walking the beach you always experience wildlife (e.g. turtles!!!). Nathalie the Property Manager was amazing in helping us not just with the house but also helped us build our agenda of activities, book excursions and stock the house - Nathalie rocks! Highly recommend this amazing property for your stay on the Big Island!

    I have stayed here years ago and it was always a wonderful experience. The 2wks went by in a flash. The only time we ventured out was to play golf and we also had an epic day of fishing. We love the fact that you never have to leave once you visit the grocery store. The owners Michelle and Gordan were wonderful.
