Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent

"Amazed stay!!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"What a stay in Hawaii! Made a super great choice here! The house was clean, comfortable, equipped, large enough for our whole party of 8 and the location couldn’t have been better! Easy access to the ocean across the street (with daily turtles) and to the main road. Was nice to have room to relax and not have to worry about the confines of a condo. The available beach equipment, grill and bikes were a definite plus. Looking forward to staying here again!"

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"
