Wonderful house by the beach!
Thanks so much for the wonderful house. It was a perfect house for our family with 5 adults and 1 child. The house was larger than it looks in the photos and was in a perfect location on the island. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed and the outside showers were amazing! Mahalo for a wonderful family vacation!

Paradise in Puako
Lovely, well-situated home on the Kohala coast side of the island. Good proximity for activities both north and south on the leeward side, and to gain access for cross-island travel to Hilo and Volcano. Comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen amenities, responsive hosts, and a detailed, informative starters' and home-base guide. Room-specific air conditioning allowed for individual preferences. Quiet and private, and with a general store conveniently next door (without noise or sounds). We felt very comfortable and highly recommend it!

Dream vacation home base
This is probably the best experience I've had with a rental home. Super clean, great layout, with lots of thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. Across the street is a shallow tidal area that was an absolute National Geographic experience: fish! crabs! turtle! octopus! Next door is a small "general store" that had necessities and weekly snorkel rentals. It was a lovely place for a lovely vacation.

Peaceful Get-away
I can't say enough good about our stay with Island Beach Rentals, 9B in Puako. The house was just gorgeous, everything that we needed was there. Our hosts came to make sure we got checked in ok and helped us to know how to be good neighbors. The location, next to a small store, and across from Beach Access was just perfect. The neighborhood is very quiet. The outdoor showers were appreciated and helped to keep the floors sand free. We would stay there again in a heart beat and recommend it highly!

We were very happy with the property. While it was about a 30 minute drive to Kona, we had easy access to several beaches. The trade off was with it. The property managers were amazing and very responsive. We will definitely recommend this property to others

Beautiful home
Loved this home in a quiet neighbor and easy access to the water for a beautiful sunset view. The house was spacious with a great porch on the back. The back porch had a grill with propane, tables, beach toys, chairs, etc. The house was clean and each room had its own AC unit. We had lots of room for our group. Had lots of supplies in the house for us to use which was pleasant surprise. Would definetly stay here again with a larger group. House was very clean and comfortable, only a few steps to get into the house.

Puako location, modern home, smaller lot
Nice home with helpful hosts in a great location. Decent beach gear. Lot is smaller than many homes in this area and outdoor space somewhat limited. Air conditioning throughout house is comfy. Propane grill and outdoor shower were clean and useful.

Love Puako
Love the area. House was very spacious with lovely backyard. Setting was not as private as I had hoped for, house is set back from road but two other residences directly in front.Backyard and deck (although small) was more private. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious outdoor shower. Right next door to general store which was convenient but noisy from rattling tanks from dive shop. Responsive property management

We LOVE this house
This house fit our needs perfectly! It was close to the Kohala resorts and shopping but not in the middle of the all that activity. We had everything we needed. A well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath + beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler. Great beaches are close too. Each of the bathrooms had full sized sham, conditioner and body wash - including the outdoor shower which was amazing. The owners left a welcome pack of coffee and chocolates which were very much appreciated.

Great House
There are multiple beach accesses within walking distance walking left or right out of the driveway. The beach access to the right enters Puako bay, the second closest, perhaps a 3 minute walk is spectacular with lots of sand. Most of the big island shoreline is not sandy. Plus the bay is sheltered so the waves there are calm most of the time. The house is spacious, the AC works well, the lanai out back is great, the kids loved playing in the yard. We did remote work there for the first three weeks with clients and companies in Colorado and the internet was fine for multiple simultaneous video calls. The house had everything we needed save perhaps a knife sharpener, so pretty well stocked. This is a great place to park to enjoy the big island.

Great House
Loved this house. Big enough for our large group of 8, loved the large kitchen and the deck. Beds were comfortable, outdoor shower superb, location wonderful. Right across the street was snorkeling and great beaches a short drive. The property manager responded immediately to any concerns or questions we had. The only improvement I would wish for is more chairs on the deck. 4 chairs for 8 people did not cut it, as we spent so much time outside. A few fold up chairs would do the trick. We will be back!

This was our 3rd stay at this affordable house in a perfect neighborhood, which should tell you a lot. It's spacious & comfortable & accommodated all 8 of our family members easily. The beds are great & the kitchen is well-supplied, with a lot of beach gear available to use. The location is very convenient to the activities we enjoy & the best beaches are nearby.

Puako beach house
We were very comfortable staying here and would definitely consider coming back, next time we will bring even more of the family! My only suggestion is that the outdoor furniture needs to be updated and should be able to accommodate more people. The house sleeps at least 6 but only 4 people can sit around the small table outside. The outdoor furniture is also not as depicted in the photos. The lanai leaks a lot during any rain and cannot be used if it is wet and stormy.

This lovely home was tucked next to the General Store. It had all the amenities that we needed for an ideal beach vacation. We have a large family, so we cook a lot. It had all the accessories that we needed to prepare our meals. The rooms and bedding were exactly as described and each room had its own cooling control. The backyard was tropical and inviting. The lovely Pacific was just across a small road and beautiful beaches were minutes away.
