Puako Beach 69. Laid back and chill, the way it should be!
Beautiful beach with tons of shade. Pretty rough when I was there, but was told it's usually great for snorkeling. $5 parking for nonresidents
Few things are better than an afternoon beside the sea. Gather the troops, pack a picnic and enjoy the fresh air at Waialea Beach.

This stretch of coastline in Kamuela comes recommended by travelers, so put it on your must-see list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are many more spots waiting for you to explore after Waialea Beach. Hapuna Beach State Park, Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, and Mauna Kea Beach are not far away.

Staff was great but it was a real process getting the correct password for our wifi. It was just out of date and they had to contact the rental company over in Maui. Otherwise we had a nice time!

The location was great. The condo- needs some upgrades and repair work. The main bedroom was nice enough. The bathroom- counter was cracked, ceiling obviously had some water damage and what looked like black mold. The shelf was dirty and paint peeling, cabinets were peeling. The table in the living room was cracked in a lot of places. When you spend that much money to stay somewhere you expect it to be nice. They also charged a utility fee. I have never had to pay that anywhere. It is included in the room cost. Garbage disposal was not easily accessible.
