Beach condo vacation rentals in Puako

Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home on the ocean! We enjoyed watching the surfers and sunset daily from the lanai or floor to ceiling windows, the sound of the ocean waves so rhythmic and calming. The condo is quiet, the pool and hot tub are great after a day of exploring. The kitchen was decently stocked to prepare daily meals and the condo was clean and well taken care of. The location was excellent, close to town/restaurants in one direction and beaches for snorkeling and picnicking in the other direction. Jennifer had snorkeling equipment, boogie boards and picnic coolers available for our use. We also had a designated, covered parking spot with secure, but easy access to condo. A wonderful stay! I hope our family can return again one day!

This condo was perfect for our family for the week. Excellent location, close to beaches and restaurants, but still quiet and peaceful. The lanai view is spectacular and hearing the waves crash all day was awesome! The place is cozy, cute, and clean. Highly recommend.

The attention to detail in this updated condo is apparent. It is appointed with guests in mind--USB charging stations, water play equipment, well stocked kitchen, cooler, containers and ice for picnics... The waterfront location was great even though this isn't an ocean-facing unit, it is in a location that other occupants aren't walking by the front door, which is nice. Although we didn't use the pool, it was a nice little feature and appeared very well-maintained. We used the AC both for cooling the bedroom and to blur the traffic noise from the busy street below. It did the trick for both!

We enjoyed our stay in Kona. The complex was lovely with parking in front of the unit. We used the community bbqs every day to cook meals. The view from the patio was amazing, and Carol's place was perfect for our family. It was very clean with everything you needed for the beach. Umbrellas, towels, lawn chairs, and snorkeling equipment. Highly recommended. We will definitely come back.

This sweet condo was just what we needed! The pools and little porch were great and the ability to walk to the bench and see the sunset was perfect. It was so great to be able to use the umbrella and beach chairs on our outings. Great spot!

When the toaster oven failed Dennis brought a replacement the same day. Likewise, when we requested additional towels, they were quick to accommodate. The little beach across the street is rocky rather than sandy, so not swimmable, but there was a pool, a hot tub, and a barbecue area.

This was our 2nd stay here and we have already booked a return trip! The condo is clean, comfortable and so well stocked for inside and outside play! This location is fantastic! Snorkeling across the street is a treat! Fish counts and varieties were plentiful, and we saw turtles and octopus!! This trip we discovered Magic’s Beach Grill 1 mile away, enjoyed the walk to dinner and a view of the waves and turtles with a very good dinner!

Dawn’s place was absolutely perfect!! It was both near plenty of shops and restaurants, but also felt so private and safe once inside the gates! She was so helpful, so responsive, so respectful and accommodating! Her place was also very clean! Which is a must for someone who has major ocd. Her sign made me smile when we walked in “Please remove shoes” because that is a major rule in our home lol… The bathroom, kitchen, furniture were all so clean and made my anxiety go way down once I knew I didn’t have to clean before relaxing! We will definitely be back and highly recommend staying at her place!!!! :D -Mindy J

This was the perfect place for me to have a solo trip and relax! The bed was so cozy! I loved that property was right downtown and it was only a two minute walk to restaurants, stores, and coffee shops. I loved that after a long day, i was able to go to the pool and hot tub which is open until 10pm. The perfect little oasis to return to and unwind after exploring the island. Definitely will be returning!!

Absolutely LOVED the unit! Will come back! AC was perfect & unit was very clean and big! We even got a late check out! Amazing place great host. Read this review if any one before mine may have discouraged you! BOOK IT

We had a wonderful stay. The unit was very clean, well outfitted, comfortable beds, and a quiet air conditioner and ceiling fans. Also, they provide a late edition "Hawaii Revealed" book and multiple snorkel and fish guides and a large Big Island map. Despite just two countertop stove burners, they have a great Weber BBQ (love it). Also a French Press for morning coffee along along with a four cup coffee maker. The location is 1/2 mile north of Kahalu'u Beach (beautiful snorkeling), 1/2 mile south of Magic Sands (bodysurfing) and a couple miles south of downtown Kailua-Kona. Park on the grassy strip squeezed between the bike/running path and the rock wall directly across the street from 77-6572 Ali'i Drive. The parking spot is 50 feet south of the intersection with Queen Kalama Avenue. Check the satellite layer on Google maps if unsure. The convenient entry gate will be right there. We highly recommend.

Beautiful space in walking distance of downtown.

Great little place for all your Big Island adventures! The water toys are a massive bonus. Traffic noise can be loud but the view of the ocean and the spectacular sunsets totally offset that.

Great location and communication!!!

It’s very convenient that this property had free AC. It was also nice that we were able to cook full breakfast every day. That helps save a lot of money. Also great location!

I loved this place. Stayed here a week with my mom. The balcony is large and the view is amazing. Despite there being a pool from the apartment next door, noise was never an issue. It was a five minute drive to the downtown. The pool area was relaxing. Jason was very responsive and kind. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The only sounds at night aside from the constant roar of the surf, is intermittent coqui calls. beautiful view and nice location, AC worked great and provided for great nights sleep. would definitely stay again.

We had a great time on the Big Island. The place was perfect for our family of 4. It has an oversized lanai that has an amazing view, and is perfect for morning coffee and watching the sunset. We really couldn’t ask for a better place and host. Would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay. The complex is slightly older but matches the pictures well. The primary bedroom is actually a loft so if you have others in your party that wake up earlier, just keep this in mind. But we loved it here. We wanted to stay outside of Kona’s downtown, but we were just two minutes though from a shopping center and many restaurants. Downtown Kona is about 15-20 minutes. The views are amazing and this condo gives you more of a condo complex feel rather than resort, which means the pool was never crowded and it’s not loud. You can sit and enjoy the pool and ocean. I’d definitely stay again!

Very well maintained property with everything you need for an island vacation. Exceptionally nice extra welcome touches, such as island coffee and more.

Russ’s beautiful penthouse is amazing to say the least. You are literally right on the water and it certainly exceeded our expectations. The car was fantastic and very nice. It is a very clean ride and in top condition. The beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve all slept in. The AC was awesome. Honestly, everything was perfect. Russ laid out detailed and well organized instructions, we had no questions or problems accessing the unit. I’m a light sleeper and it was a very quiet stay, just the sounds of the waves. The pool and hot tub downstairs (elevator worked great and easy to access) were fun and relaxing to use. Nice tenants and guests around and easy access to many beaches and restaurants nearby. In addition, we experienced a last minute very unexpected tragedy~Russ went above and beyond and was compassionate and helpful which completely made the difference for us during this time. 🙏 We would rent this place again hands down. Thank you, Russ, Mahalo!

Allyson is efficient, provided us with great info on what activities, resturants, shopping, and as I briefly mentioned, was remarkably supportive and kind during a medical emergency we were facing. Thank you Allyson.

Our family of 4 (kids ages 10 + 5) stayed in this condo for 4 nights. The location was excellent and private. The Palms Villas features pristine landscaping with gorgeous plantings and flowers and a shared condominium pool perfect for the kiddos. Outside of the entrance gate is a nearby historical site with a path weaving through some lava tube and petroglyph sites leading to the ancient fishponds and the Mauni Lani resort and beaches. The beach club pass was a major bonus! I underestimated how often we'd use this access to one of the most kid-friendly/calm beaches on the big island. The condo itself was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen is stocked and we appreciated the private garage stocked with beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and beach toys. My husband accidentally left something behind in the room and the host was thoughtful enough to contact us right away and shipped it back home to us. Overall, we had a great stay here and hope to return soon!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was spotless, modern, and fully stocked with everything we needed—including high-end beach gear, a great gym, and a heated pool. The free access to the Hilton was a huge bonus—our kids loved the slides and pool. It’s in a safe area, just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The lanai view was absolutely stunning. The host was proactive, friendly, and truly cared about our experience, which made everything even better. Highly recommend!
