About this house rental

A wonderful relaxing get away to the magical, historic Puako on the Big Island. The rate covers 6 guests. The "Dream House" is located in the enchanting beach community of Puako on the Big Island of Hawaii, just north of the Mauna Lani resort and south of the Mauna Kea, on the sunny Northwest side of the island. This impeccable property provides everything for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, with a multitude of adventures to choose from as well. Set upon an expansive grassy lawn, this fully enclosed property offers a safe haven for young and old.

Just steps away is the beach access leading you to the magic of Puako. The lava pools are perfect for all explorers. Swim with the sea turtles and amazing sea life. The beach is perfect for sun tanning while keeping a close eye on the kids or immersing yourself in your favorite book. A good pair of reef walkers is a good idea. They will allow you hours and miles of exploration along this pristine stretch of beach and lava pools. Just offshore are the mothers and baby whales that come every year late winter into early spring. The warm waters give them a safe haven to mate, give birth and nurture their young. This area is also has world-class snorkeling and scuba-diving.

After a day at the beach, come home to a luxurious, private, outdoor rain shower surrounded by lava rocks and bamboo. Enjoy a game of ping pong with the kids or nap on the daybed while you enjoy the breezes of Hawaii. All of which is included on the ground level, covered, open-air recreation area.

Upstairs, the open floor plan and abundance of windows and walls of sliding doors allow guests to enjoy the trade winds that freely flow thru Puako, 24/7. However, for those extra hot and sticky days, the home offers the luxury of being fully air-conditioned with split units in every main room. Wireless Internet is available throughout the property with TV in every bedroom and the main living room. The over 2,500 sqft of living space features furnishing that are all new and well appointed. The fully stocked kitchen has a gas range wall oven and microwave. There is formal dining both indoors and outdoors, a gas BBQ and wrap around lanai on the upper level. There are peekaboo views of the ocean to the west and beautiful mountain views to the east in a panoramic setting. The master bedroom and bathroom encompass the entire loft area of the 2nd story and has a pony wall that opens to the great room below. The 4th bedroom is an Ohana (family studio apartment) located on the ground level which includes its own bathroom.

Puako, once an ancient fishing village and sugar plantation, is now the ONLY residential oceanfront neighborhood on the South Kohala Coast. Take a 15 minute beach walk south to the nearby Fairmont Orchid for further sunsets, conversations, cocktails, appetizers, live music and dinner. One of our favorite must stops is is the famous blue Malasada truck. Hot homemade donuts as you wait. Be sure to visit uncle Bobby for a fresh cut coconut with a straw.

Puako is home to the largest collection of Hawaiian petroglyphs (rock drawings) in the State. Take the family on a petroglyph hunt and ask them what they think these ancient symbols could mean. Just make sure the whole family is wearing good shoes. Over 3,000 of these drawings can be found in Puako alone, each with a story to be told.

Our goal is to make the house a home away from home for our family and yours. Alex was born in Hawaii and has come home. This is truly the "Dream house", thus the name, she has found for her family to learn and enjoy the Aloha spirit she experienced as a child.
Come and create your own story here. We hope the big island and Puako will be a place you always want to come back to. Please follow us on instagram- @hale_moe_uhane_puako Facebook- Hale Moe' Uhane Puako

Our stay was incredible! The house was beautifully designed for a family gathering and centrally located on the sunny side of the Big Island. Very close to Hapuna Beach. Our kids loved the various spaces for relaxing and playing ping pong, board games, and preparing meals. Rooms were well appointed and beds were comfortable. Just wish we could stay more weeks! Lovely home.

Large, unique, comfortable and clean home in one of the most beautiful parts of Hawaii's most magical island... The Big Island. Puako is close to amenities, but is not a touristy cookie-cutter resort. The layout was perfect for our family. Rooms for my two children and a separate Ohana apartment for my mom. We loved the master suite with giant walk in shower and views of the mountains.Location is great...Close to my favorite beaches on the planet. Many sea turtles sleep and feed among the tidepools across the road! Relatively accessible to most of the island.We also really appreciated our host who was responsive when we booked, and the property management company who handled a couple of very minor issues within hours.

Stayed with two other couples. Great spot and location. Super well stocked in the kitchen. Very comfortable. Only thing to make sure you note is that the master bedroom is a loft. Great property.

You can walk across the street and see the ocean, very quiet neighborhood. The only poop happens was our main air conditioner was out for over half our 10 day stay. No offers trying to make it right with rental company on a partial refund. Just a sorry
