Quote from a guest: "We had a WONDERFUL stay at the Paniau Surf Puako! The home is an absolutely perfect location for a stay on the Kona coast of the Big Island, we couldn't believe that we were directly across the street from the best beach access of Puako! We heard and saw the waves during big swell and enjoyed amazing snorkeling during the calmer times. The number of turtles was truly astonishing, we started taking a "turtle walk" every night at sunset to check them out and just enjoy the area. The home itself was better than I had even expected, fully stocked with beach towels, folding chairs, boogie boards, snorkels/masks, and toys for our boys. The house was decorated beautifully, had a great kitchen, great outdoor shower, and very comfortable bedrooms for all. We used the BBQ most nights and sat out on the back patio area enjoying the night air."

The Neighborhood:
Puako is still the only ocean front residential community along the Gold Coast/Kohala Coast of the Big Island nestled between the Mauna Lani Resort, Fairmont Orchid and Mauna Kea/Hapuna Resorts. Hapuna Beach State Park has earned the reputation of being one of Hawaii Island's finest beaches. It is the largest White Sands Beach on The Big Island and consistently rates on Top Ten lists internationally. Hapuna Beach offers some wonderful opportunities for swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, sunbathing and snorkeling and is just a mile from Puako. You can even drive the back road to Hapuna Beach and not get on the Highway. Local shore fisherman can be seen daily enjoying the great reef fishing. Puako Beach Drive has no through access which keeps it virtually still undiscovered by many.
There are six separate "beach" accesses along this stretch of beach. Although there is not a tremendous amount of sand, there are tide pools and the extensive protected reef is remarkable. During low tide, small pools dot the entire coastline and these pools are filled with small sea life that make excellent areas to explore for all ages. If you enjoy shore diving, kayaking and snorkeling you can find a spot along this stretch of shoreline to enter the water. Offshore the reef is home to a wide variety of fish and many days you will see dolphins playing right from the shore. Enjoy the Whales who return each year to mate and give birth in the tropical warm waters during the winter months.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended for getting around the area and enjoying all that Hawaii Island has on offer.

We had a wonderful stay. House was large and had everything in the fully stocked kitchen, water toys for adults and kids, terrific location across from beach with amazing sunsets
We loved this stay so much. This is a simple, clean, private house at the end of a beach road. Our whole family (2 adults & 2 teens/tweens) enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood, and the private yard with hammocks between the palm trees. The house has great amenities we didn't know we needed, including beach chairs, aqua socks, coolers for packing lunches, a 2 gallon water thermos that we used every day to stay hydrated on all our day trips on the road!, a hose for washing sand off your feet and an outdoor shower. Each evening we crossed the quiet street to the surfing beach to watch the sunset and surfers. (Hot tip, it's not a swimming or snorkeling beach. Optimal for surfers only.) You can also walk 10min along the beach to the trailhead for the Puako petroglyphs, and/or continue along the beach to the Mauna Lani resort area. Just a note, the snorkel masks in the house all seem to leak! We had a great time on an organized snorkel tour instead.
