Moana Imaku - Ocean View Home w/ ADA Features

Aloha and Welcome to Moana Imaku! Come and enjoy your Hawaiian getaway in a lovely, spacious, light filled home all your own. In creating this vacation home it was important for the owner to build a place that could be enjoyed by all, including the differently abled. This home is wheel chair accessible from the entry ramp to the wide doorways and easy-access showers in both bathrooms. There are lots of extra features for those with special needs. Everyone in your group will love the ocean view lanai a block from the ocean... and you may meet the neighborhood hen, Henrietta, who often leaves a freshly laid egg for guests on a chair cushion!

When you enter this hale you will notice the lovely tropical furnishings and décor, shiny African mahogany floors, large fully equipped gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances, and dining area. Not to mention the newly furnished and comfortable lanai with 2 loveseats, 2 chairs and a dining table that sits 4. The spacious living room includes a Smart TV and plenty of seating area.

The bedrooms consist of a four poster queen size bed in the master bedroom with its own master bathroom. First guest room has two single beds and second guest room has one queen size bed. Guest bathroom is conveniently located between both bedrooms.
Moana Imaku also features indoor laundry room with front load washer & dryer, and a 400 square foot lanai where you can enjoy outdoor dining and take in your ocean views.
This hale is located on the beautiful Puna coast a block from the ocean and the beautiful ocean park, bringing you our island sunshine and trade breezes on the sunrise side of the island.
We hope that when you come to Moana Imaku that you will find the tranquility and harmony of these beautiful islands. NOTE: there is no beach access in the neighborhood as the ocean cliffs are more than 20 feet high - breathtaking for photographers and other nature lovers!

Place was amazing

Place was amazing, it was quite, except for the frogs at night, but they didn't bother me at all. There is no AC , but with the fans on and windows open it was fine. Love the lanai, I was able to just sit out there for breakfasts and dinner and enjoy the ocean view, the breeze, and the chickens. The only thing is I wish there were more hooks in the bathroom and a night stand in the bedroom with the twin beds. I had no where to put my things and I usually have a cup of water near me at night. The bedrooms were big with enough closet space. The place is only close to an hour drive to the National Park and close to half hour drive to Hilo. So it wasn't far to do the things I wanted.

Lovely home, horrible stay

Lovely, spacious home, was well done - BUT - has had damage that hasn't been repaired. No air conditioner was a deal breaker. Although it cooled off outside at night, the lack of breeze left the house so hot we didn't rest well, and the home sits on a main street leaving multiple parks and there was traffic all day and most of the night and the cars accelerating up the hill, along with the birds singing all night, then chickens in the morning, with the windows open, made for much interrupted rest. Best part was the lanai which was lovely, but the grill was filthy before we cleaned it.The other icky things are something smelling rotten in the main bedroom closet and the dishwasher malfunctioning. We started the dishwasher when we left one morning and returned to a not draining fault code. Removed the filter and pulled out hair and shards of glass, then washed off the greasy residue. This did not clear the fault so moved downstream and disconnected the dishwasher drain hose and removed more shards of glass and a woody stick from the dishwasher drain line. That fixed the problem. To their credit we did not notify the manager but do you think they would call a plumber/maintenance in on Sunday night for a dishwasher?Last concern is the bedroom lights had pull chains to control lights and fan speed. Someone using a wheelchair would not be able to reach the light control chain. Some rooms had fan/light control remotes but not all.

Idyllic Location and Lovely Home

We especially enjoyed all the fans in every room and the nice large lanai, where we had breakfast every morning looking at the view of the ocean. This is a very spacious property and had lots of room for the three of us. There were plenty of windows to open when we returned after a day of touring around, which helped to dissipate the heat.

Wonderful property

Very clean, spacious and overall comfortable. Bed in master bedroom could do with replacing but other queen very comfortable. Despite no AC, house cooled off well at night. Favourite part was covered lanai. Kept us dry even when it rained. Would have liked a few more garbage/recycling bags to useIt is a drive to the drier west coast beaches but convenient for Volcano National Park & Black and Green Sand beaches. Shopping at Pahoa convenient. I’d highly recommend Kaleo’s if looking for a place to eat.

Darker in area so star werw spectator. Kitchen and house well stocked with most basics needed. No AC but ceiling fans throughout and windows provide nice breezes Would definitely recommend and stay again! Communication was excellent

The property is near the ocean. Great view from the lānai. At night the house was warm and the flooring was slippery and damp. The ceiling fans were a nice option to try and cool the house down. The house was clean and there was plenty of space. Check-in and out was easy.

The neighbors are the problem

This property is absolutely beautiful. The location is far from most things, but by a beautiful state park. Everything about the property itself was great. However, the neighbors on both sides make it very clear that they would rather not have a VRBO nextdoor to them. The ones closest to the ocean called the property management company and made a false claim that some of the people in our party were smoking on the lanai. This was obviously not true and could have been fact checked with the cameras that are facing the lanai. There are several cameras on this property. Instead, we received an email informing us it was illegal and we needed to stop. The neighbor on the side farthest from the ocean started verbally harassing us on the day we checked in. He could be heard yelling "Shut the f*** up and get back in your f***ing rental" whenever we were outside, regardless of the time of day. Several people in my group are retired military and have hearing loss as a result so they do speak at a slightly higher volume than someone with perfect hearing. It definitely put a damper on our trip to feel like we couldn't go outside unless we were leaving.

Beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is very clean and very well stocked. The beds we very comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and perfect for preparing meals. We spent every morning and evening on the lanai. At night we loved the sounds of the ocean and the chirp of the little frogs. I do recommend to arrive before dark. It is difficult to find at night when you are not familiar with the area. It is dark. There is no air conditioner, but once you get in and open the doors and turn on the fans, the home cools down quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

Great out of tourist area location

House is exactly as advertised. Check in process was easy. We enjoyed the book of information about the area of the house and things to do. Lanai is the place to be as the main houses very hot and stuffy during the time we stayed there. We open the windows at night, and used all the fans. Bring earplugs if you Can’t sleep with nature noises lol. Neighborhood is definitely far away from the touristy area so be prepared to drive when you want to do something. That was our plan all along so we had no issues.

Sunrise in hawaii

We had a wonderful stay at Moana Imaku. Everything was as advertised but the furniture on the lanai is getting a bit weathered. That being said we did spend most of our time out on that lanai staring at the ocean and enjoying the sounds of the neighborhood. I was up early every morning to see a beautiful sunrise over the ocean. The location was great, from there we drove around the island. The kitchen is extremely well set up and made cooking from home easy. Would definitely go again.

Beautiful, better than we expected!

When we arrived it was pitch dark. The house was very nice, clean and better than what we expected. We could hear the ocean waves but could not see anything. The next morning, we were awestruck with the beautiful view of the ocean virtually right outside our door. You can not imagine how us desert rats from Arizona felt!! It’s been an amazing experience and we wish we had MORE TIME! Hopefully we will be able to come back!
