Perfect relaxing cosy stay

Our family of four had a wonderful stay here. Great house and yard. Kitchen is petite but so well stocked and cared for. The yard is amazing and we loved the stars at night. Various great shoreline accesses across the road to black lava beach Frequented by the green sea turtles.

Perfect little beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at hale mele mele. The place was spotless and had everything we needed for a family of 4. Quick 2 minute walk to the beach every night for sundowners and sea turtles on the beach. The snorkeling at the end of the road is amazing - and a lot less crowded than close by beaches. Perfect launch point for the area and exploring. Highly recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at this lovely and perfectly located home. We could not have asked for a better location, close to snorkeling, swimming beaches, and situated well for exploring other parts of the island. Our hosts checked in with us several times and were always easy to reach and accommodating. The home itself is well-stocked with essentials, very clean, has comfortable beds, is charmingly decorated, and the outdoor shower is like a spa! Overall, an incredible place to stay!

Pearl of Puako

This a adorable, quaint and unique home and location were an absolute delight, and really made our vacation heaven on earth. It was so welcoming and comfortable, with everything one could need for a lovely Hawaiian getaway. This was a present for my 60th birthday, and the best gift I’ve ever given myself. The Hawaiian decor throughout was jus lovely, and all the beach goodies and toys were a bonus. So lovely having space in backyard to relax and bbq. We really enjoyed having happy hour and coffee with our turtle friends across the street, and frequent close up whale sightings. Wish we could’ve extended our stay, but not possible. Mary and her team with 2 Papayas were so attentive and accommodating to all our needs while there. They go above and beyond customer service and see why they are voted the best. Stay here and you will have the time of your life, never wanting to leave.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home, great yard, private, everything we needed and very close to Puako General Store for great sandwiches, across the street from beach access (best to walk and enjoy in morning at low tide- lots of turtles hanging out) and relatively central to a variety of places by car. Very close to Beach 69 & Hapuna Beach. Highly recommend.

Great place, great location

This property came as advertised, maybe even a little better. Clean, full accommodations, comfortable, great yard and perfect location for us. Wanted something away from the touristy resorts without being too remote. The layout is a tad quirky but nothing that we couldn't adapt to. The property management folks reached out to me multiple times and were very helpful. I would definitely use this location again.

Perfection in Puako

A very charming cottage wonderfully situated on Puako Beach Road. There are multiple shoreline access points along Puako Beach Road which lead to great snorkeling - - one is directly across from the cottage. The cottage, which is much larger than indicated by the front view photo, is tastefully decorated and well-equipped, and the large grounds surrounding the property are beautifully maintained.

Great Time in Hawaii

We really enjoyed our stay and the house was a great fit for our trip. Some highlights include: 1. Super friendly management 2. Great location for our trip 3. Clean house with a well stocked kitchen supplies 4. A/C window units kept the house cool (a bit noisy at night, but nothing beyond a typical window unit would make) 5. Neighborhood was quiet 6. House was stocked with ready to use beach equipment (cooler, chairs, umbrella). 7. Private outdoor shower was a fun experience From the house we were 5 minutes away from Hapuna Beach, 10 minutes from Ocean Sports snorkeling cruise, 20 minutes from the Airport, and 30 minutes from Kailua-Kona. It is also a few minutes away from the big resorts so if you want to go shopping or go grab a coffee, its a simple drive down the highway. Tips: 1. Stock-up on your first day. The general store is down the street, but it is really only for grabbing something quick. We found the grocery stores at both resorts just south of the house easy to access and well stocked 2. For large groups, the "napping bed" is the least private space to sleep. Great for naps, but if you have a big group, whoever sleeps in that bed will be in the middle of everything. 3. Outdoor shower is the only shower. Fun for us, but might not be for everyone. 4. Reach out to management if you need anything. They were super helpful our entire stay.

Hawaiian Charm at Puako

Are you looking for an old school Hawaiian vibe with modern creature comforts? Hale Melemele Is a charming traditional Hawaiian home which has been updated. The layout is a little bit funky, with a large bed in the main room. It was actually a great place to hang out and read during the day. We chose to sleep in the back room at night. There is a water closet plus a full bath which is convenient when you have a group. The shower is outdoors which we love when we are in the islands. The kitchen is compact but very well equipped. It was spotlessly clean. Also, the web link that is provided when you check in lists the equipment so you know what kind of coffee to buy, etc. Puako is ideally situated for a visit to the Kohala coast. The mega resorts of Mauna kea, Mauna Lani and the Fairmont orchid are a short drive away. You can visit them to sit on the beach or enjoy the bars and restaurants but you can escape to the peace and quiet of a real neighborhood that is beachfront. Hale Melemele is across the street from the beach. There is a beach access path just a few steps down the street which comes out to a nice little sandy beach. The swimming beach is just a short drive down the road. You can pack up your beach chairs and snorkel gear, which are provided, and spend the day relaxing without ever leaving puako.
