Spectacular Oceanfront Puako Cottage

Your oceanfront authentic Hawaii vacation destination awaits you! The Reef House is a perfect place to get away from it all. With breathtaking views, a paradise of snorkeling at your back door and a lush tropical yard to relax in and soak it all in. Ideally located, this charming cottage sits right on the water in the laid back village of Puako. With breathtaking sunsets, easy access to the turquoise blue waters and swaying palm trees in the ocean breeze.

This property can be rented as a 2 bedroom/2 bath that sleeps 4 adults and 2 children. OR (discounts offered) for smaller groups, you can have just the 1b/1b oceanfront cottage that sleeps 2 adults, with room for 2 children on the punee (daybeds) in the spacious living room.

The charming Cottage has a queen bed with quality linens, where you will be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean. There is a full kitchen well-equipped with everything you need to cook from home. A spacious living room with comfortable furnishings and an oceanfront dining room with seating for 6 on the antique Hawaiian koa wood dining table. The bathroom offers an adjacent outdoor shower for the unique Puako style experience.

A separate 1b/1b Ohana unit allows for 2 more adults. The Ohana offers a king bed that faces the ocean with an attached bathroom and outdoor shower. Sip your coffee from the outdoor dining table while enjoying the expansive ocean view framed by palm trees. The water will invite you to jump in for a morning dip with the turtles and fish or stroll along the shoreline to explore the sandy/lava rock tidal pools.

Puako is a historic little oceanside community situated on the Kohala Coast between all the island's most popular white sand beaches and world class resorts. Hapuna Beach (one of the top rate white sand beaches in the world) is just a 5 minute drive away. Excellent shopping and dining are all within a 10 minute drive from the house.

You can take a short walk to the Puako General Store to get snacks and refreshments or cruise along the drive to the popular surf spot (in the Winter months) at the end of the road. Puako is a slow paced, friendly neighborhood perfect for families with kids and those seeking a casual experience with a hint of old Hawaii.

The owner spends part of the year in the upstairs portion of the Ohana unit. She is quiet and friendly and available for quests questions and needs. However when she is there, she will respect guests privacy and they will still have complete access to the outdoor areas of the property.

Great location to get away

Process was easy. The outside seating areas worked for breakfast/lunches looking at the water. Great spot to get away from things. Location was clean and easy for family but did have to watch with many gnats in the area.

Waterfront Soul

We stayed for one week in this soulful bungalow, birds singing us awake, whales breaching off shore, turtles basking on the reef below, waves lulling us to sleep, and us loving every blessed moment. What a magical place!!! Thank you to all those before who have loved this reef local and special home! And thank you for sharing all of it with us!
