Right across the street from sandy beach! Puako Bay with lots of beach front to walk and play on.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />THERE WILL BE SPALLING WORK OCCURRING AUGUST 17th THROUGH OCTOBER ON THE BUILDING OF THIS UNIT. PLEASE INQUIRE FOR FURTHER DETAILS.<br /><br />Hale Me Ke Ki’ole ~ Puako Condo 101 - Welcome to one of the nicest and best-situated condos in the quaint, secluded village of Puako Beach. You're renting our home, not a hotel room or investment property. We welcome you as ohana (family) and our place is well stocked with everything you need for rest and relaxation. Enjoy the spirit of aloha in a historic Hawaiian community! A very private ground-floor end unit, with two lanais (decks) for extra living space.  Lots of louvered windows that encourage a cross breeze in the evenings, providing natural cooling (ceiling fans in each room help too). If extra cooling is needed, there are air conditioners in the living room and master bedroom with ceiling fans in the other rooms.. Bathrooms were freshly remodeled in April 2025 (including all new fixtures and marble walk-in showers); fresh paint throughout, and a fully equipped kitchen. We love to cook and we’ve left our appliances, utensils, and spices for you to use. Luxurious bedding, linens, and towels are provided. 500Mb high-speed internet service with WiFi coverage throughout. This unit is accessed from the outside via an open-air walkway, minimizing your contact with others. The large private side lanai is ideal for outdoor dining and has its own private BBQ.  A reserved parking spot is conveniently located right in front of the unit. <br /><br />Puako is a historic community. As you drive past the 1856 Hokuloa Church, you will immediately feel like you have stepped back to a more relaxed time in old Hawaii. Quiet and away from the crush of tourists, there are only 170 homes along the two miles of Puako Beach Drive.  Surrounded by lush greenery and fruit trees, it’s a short walk to the friendly family-owned Puako General Store, where you can buy food, cold drinks, prepared meals, rent snorkeling and water gear, and more. Their homemade chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies are out of this world! Stand-Up Paddleboards and kayaks are available for rent down the street. Or relax by the beautiful pool, just a few steps from your front door. Ocean adventures (whale watching, snorkeling tours, and manta ray viewing excursions) are available at the Puako Boat Ramp, a short walk or drive down the street. <br /><br />The beautiful, peaceful, sandy beach is right across the street. It’s perfect for snorkeling and is home to many honu (sea turtles). Wake up for the sunrise over Mauna Kea and see the honu sunning themselves on the rocks. We love to take our coffee over to the beach in the morning and watch the waves. Just a short walk across the street! And, from the same spot, watch the best sunset on the island. It’s magical. Puako reef is also recognized as one of the best scuba areas in all of Hawaii.  Close by is Beach 69, one of our favorites, and Hapuna Beach, named #1 Beach in America in 2021 and 2023! Great for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing if the weather is right. And you can get to them from Puako without having to get on the highway! Just to our north is the Mauna Kea Resort. Pull up to the security gate and ask for a free public access beach pass. You can also play golf, tennis, or pickle ball at the Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, or Waikoloa Resorts. Or explore the ancient Puako petroglyph fields. All located just minutes away by car. <br /><br />PLEASE NOTE: This unit has ONE dedicated parking space.
