About this house rental
Hawaii Tax I.D. NO. W67125384-01
Hale Alaula, or House of the Sunset Glow, is a renovated cottage located right on a beautiful sandy beach in sunny Puako. Escape the crowds and experience the true magic of the Big Island. As you can see from the pictures, the house is full of modern and newly furnished appliances and furniture. The master bedroom has a king size bed with it's own half bathroom and outdoor shower. Walk out the door from the bedroom into an outdoor shower surrounded by bamboo. A full bathroom is attached to the living room area where the punee sleeps one. Wake up and go to sleep with views of the morning glow and unbelievable sunsets. The living room is equipped with one punee (Hawaiian day bed) that can sleep one person. The kitchen is fully equipped with all stainless steel appliances including a oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. From the kitchen you can walk out onto the lanai and eat your meals on a new outdoor table.
Coral washes up on the Puako's shores and creates a beautiful white sanded beach. The beach in front of Hale Alaula is far enough from any beach access point that few visitors wander by, providing you with plenty of privacy while still allowing you to enjoy the coastline. Just a few doors up shore is an easy access point to climb into the warm Hawaiian waters at the perfect location to experience some of Hawaii's best snorkeling. Directly in front of the beach access point are some undersea arches that are fun to swim around, over, and under. The reef is full of a plethora of different species of fish, starfish, eels, and sometimes rays. Occasionally a pod of dolphins will swim by, and in the winter months you can see the humpback whales breach the surface and hear their song under the water.
Puako is famous for its abundance of sea turtles, and just north of Hale Alaula is the "turtle cleaning station," where sea turtles go to let the yellow tang fish to pick algae off of their shells. Take a walk up the shore and you're sure to see plenty of turtles basking in the shallow waters or napping in the sun.
Hale Alaula is the perfect Hawaiian home to experience the serenity of the island and the wonders it has to offer, both on land and in the sea.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, house was super well equipped. We never go out for dinner when we are in Hawaii so a well set up kitchen and grill are very important for us. Breakfast every morning with the sound of the surf as the sun rose over Mauna Kea and Maui emerged from the mist, and dinner outside every night as the last glow disappeared. We've been renting oceanfront houses in Puako since 2012 and this is one of the best.

Wonderful oceanfront property in the Puako area! We really loved staying in this area. It felt very isolated but in reality sites and amenities were super close by. The General Store down the street was awesome for treats and necessities, and a Foodland was just a 10-15 minutes drive away. The sunsets were spectacular, and as a bonus, we had honu (green sea turtles) come to visit us every night. Great spot for chilling out, snorkeling, walking/running. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed - from cooking supplies to beach gear. Both the owner and property manager were very helpful and communicative. We would stay again for sure!
