Top Puako Beach Hotel Reviews

Whale's Tail - 3BR Beachfront Home in Magical Puako! Steps to the ocean!

8/10 Good

"The best asset this house has is an amazing beach front view with a nearly private beach on a magnificent setting inside the coral reef. A rare find on the island. The home itself was very clean and well stocked with bathroom and kitchen supplies. A nice platter of snacks greeted us upon arrival. Beds and bedding were comfortable.Although the location is beautiful, unfortunately we could only give this house a good rating due to the dated decor and deferred maintenance/condition of the interior, furnishings and septic system. The entry was overgrown with palm fronds which scratched my nose while ducking though them. First impression is the worn-out furniture in the living room with arm panels hiding ripped upholstery. The broken handle on the screen sliding door led to the upper lanai with torn rattan chairs around a table that was too wide for the area making it difficult to squeeze in. Lower lanai tiles were loose, cracked and broken. Although a note was left indicating a bathroom tub/shower was to be remodeled, it was very uncomfortable and possibly unhealthy to shower with a sheet of plastic covering a tile wall with severe mold in the tile gout. This home is not well maintained which was very disappointing for such a great location and high rental rate.Periodically, the house and grounds would be permeated by sewage smell. As we later discovered, the Puako neighborhood is known for untreated sewage entering the shoreline prompting swim warnings due to high bacteria."

Serene 3BR Puako Estate P10D – Beachfront Access & Tranquil Living

10/10 Excellent

"The setting of this beautiful home couldn’t be better: a gorgeous beach, perfect sunsets and sparkly night skies with shooting stars. The house is so comfortable with separate and private bedroom suites, a great kitchen, dining and living areas. Just perfect. The kitchen cabinets and drawers, and the laundry area were so precisely labeled and well stocked with every last thing you needed or would have wanted. We were all so grateful to have found this beautiful and comfortable home for our Big Island vacation."

Puako Condo 102 ~ Ground Floor Unit ~ Pool

10/10 Excellent

"The unit is very clean close to the beach partial views from the back patio area does come with a gas grill. AC was useful bedrooms are very spacious. Our host. J and Marla were exceptional in communicating feedback or answering our questions prior to arrival. We hope to rent this unit in 2027 for our annual Family fishing trip."

Private beach front property, the perfect getaway! Enjoy our slice of paradise.

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second year in a row to stay at Nancy and Greg’s home. We had a great time snorkeling and our girls love the boards and playing in the keiki tidal pool. It’s awesome to be able to swim or kayak right out to the reef! Our family likes to explore when the tide is out and this year saw an octopus, several eels and of course plenty of sea turtles, too. We like the privacy of the property and really enjoy the native trees and flowers. We had everything we needed including a beautiful view all week long. It was a little hotter at night this time but we made it ok with all the fans going. Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon!Mahalo,The Fullwoods"

3 Story House - 10 Beds - steps to the Beach-Shore! **No Hurricane damage/impact

10/10 Excellent

"Our party included an extended family of 13 ranging from grandparents to grandkids. The house was a perfect fit with Hawaii style and comforts. We happen to be there when Hurricane LaLa was approaching and the host and his onsite overseer were proactive in communication. When the power went out that communication and care continued. If you’re going to be stuck due to bad weather, power outages, and closed state beaches, you can’t beat Puako. So many places to access snorkeling and sunsets. The house is a great location to discover Waikola, Kohala, and Kona. All in all, we’re grateful to our hosts for making sure we could enjoy the house safely and comfortably the whole time."
