Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Puako

Great place to stay way from all the noise of Kona. Woke up every morning to birds singing. Beautiful view of the ocean from the back porch, saw whales close to the beach. Overall, the home was as advertised and was worth the cost. It was more home than my wife and I needed for this trip, and could comfortable support three couples if desired. The host was responsive to our messages and very friendly. I plan on staying here again if given the opportunity.

This was quite a charming place with supportive hosts. We enjoyed the frog song but some may find it loud. The property is rich in design elements and immersing you in the out doors. Local recommendations and flexible hosts made for an overall good experience.

The listing is exactly as shown. It was gorgeous and immaculately tidy and clean. The only downside were the critters that were mentioned. Gave us a scare at night.

This is an excellent home. The hosts are very responsive and supply an accurate description of their house. The place worked perfectly for our 3 generation group. The geezers (us) stayed in the separate downstairs apartment. Not lux but decent. The 2 sons/spouses and 2 grandkids (2 &3.5) had the run of the more lux upstairs. Large bedrooms with good bathrooms. We prepared meals upstairs (no stove down) and enjoyed them outside on the large table under the roof on the porch. Good breeze there. Pretty warm inside for meals but the A/C in the BR's is great. The pool is perfect. Lots of floaties, toys, etc. Good loungers and a picnic table under cover next to the pool. The beach accessory selection is great. Coolers, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel stuff. Good location near a well equipped shopping center with groceries, Longs drugs, restaurants and a small Saturday farmers market. Very quiet neighborhood. Easy access. I highly recommend this rental.

Highly recommend this place! We only stayed a couple nights due to it nearly being fully booked. I can see why as the furnishings are top notch. The dining room table is beautiful! The beds are very comfortable. Very clean. They even had soft Kleenex and toilet paper along with nice towels in bathroom. You just don’t find that everywhere. The comforter in the closet made the bed extra cozy. Debi, the caretaker, was so sweet and informative and helped make my son’s 30th birthday something to remember! We enjoyed talking to her but she will also give you your space, if needed. Jenne is great at responding quickly. She even let us drop off my husband’s golf clubs early so we would be more comfortable in the car. We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay here at the plantation it was so peaceful. Such a great place to stay at. Would love to come back in the future. Thank you sue for everything!

Beautiful home and pool with water features. 10/10!! Also this home has the best landscape I've ever seen at an Airbnb. Everything else is impeccable. Friendly host. I would love to come back again!

We enjoyed our stay at Susan's place. It was very clean, kitchen was well equipped with new appliances including a dishwasher. A few steps away is a room with washer and dryer which made it easy to travel with only a carry on. There is a gas grill on the deck if you'd like to barbecue. The house is a bit south of the center of Kailua Kona which makes it more quiet at night. It's directly across from Magic Sands Beach and there's another larger beach with more sandy area about a mile to the south. A few minutes drive to the south is the Keauhou shopping center with a KTA supermarket, with very friendly employees. If you drive further south, stop at the South Kona Fruit Stand, with an ever changing assortment of fruits that we can't get here in the Northeast. We'll definitely consider staying here again next time we come back to Hawaii island.

Hale’s Hale was a great place to stay for a quick overnight before heading off for adventures down south. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet—and close to Pu'uhonua O Honaunau and Captain Cook. Highly recommend.

Thanks Megan And Vicent for a great stay and high recommend! We'd definately return. The photos accurately represent the top-floor space, which was quiet and private—we rarely heard our hosts downstairs. They were friendly, checked in a couple of times during our weeklong stay, and provided excellent communication throughout. The space was very comfortable, with a large common area, spacious bedrooms, and a well-appointed kitchen that had everything we needed. The lanai was a nice bonus. The location was convenient for our exploring the island.

We stayed at 4 Airbnbs during our 11 day stay in Hawaii and Maile and Vlad’s was by far our favorite! The location was perfect and lots of really good restaurants around!! They had kids the same ages as my kiddos so playing with them was a hit also :) We would love to be back in the future

5-Stars! Absolutely amazing stay! The location is perfect, with breathtaking 180-degree sunset views that made every evening unforgettable.The hosts, Jon and Marilu were incredibly friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway!"

Della and Max were very friendly and nice. They were very helpful with checking-in our room when we had trouble. They both shared a bucket full of fresh off-the-tree macadamia nuts which were delicious! Max shared some local suggestions with us as well. It is a quite place and isn't too far outside of Kona. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! It’s a clean and practical apartment unit with everything you need to make your own meals. Perfect base for exploring all the adventures the Big island has to offer. 10 min drive to Kona downtown and close to Costco. We appreciated the local fruits that awaited our arrival. Priscilla is super friendly and offered us local recommendations, snorkelling gears (snorkel, fins, noodle, etc.) and beach gears (chairs, umbrella, etc.) to use, which we appreciated and took use. We slept well on the comfy bed. Thank you for everything!

This listing far exceeded our expectations and the attention to detail of everything a guest may need was provided. The views from the private balcony were top notch and the BnB as a whole is serene and beautiful. We loved how we were able to drive to every coast of the island in less than 2 hours! In 10 days we saw every nook and cranny due to the central location of this listing!! You'd be making a huge mistake to pass this AirBnB opportunity up!!!!

Although it was not so easy to find the place according to Google maps, Lopaka helped us timely find the correct way. Everything is great, except for the lack of a dishwasher.

The property lived up to the description, pics and our own expectations. The complex was well groomed and on the golf course so we had some views. We really enjoyed the gym and pool and made the best of them both. The condo is walkable to coffee, restaurants and the KTA Grocery Store. The owners struck the perfect balance of a well equipped condo with all the necessities without clutter or unnecessary items. We were able to cook, go to the beach, do laundry, make coffee (Keurig), etc. We walked daily in the neighboring areas which were safe and the people friendly. This was our first stay in Waikaloa Village and there are plenty of amenities and only a few miles to the beach. Great place!

You can tell guest experience is Adam’s top priority. His property was equipped with anything we needed down to everything that would make a perfect beach day (boogie boards, chairs, cooler, umbrella etc.). Parking was dedicated and very close to the condo. We were able to get into vacation mode the minute we arrived! Thank you Adam!

Holly's place is up to date and lovely. The view from the lanai was stunning and peaceful. The sound of the waves and a comfortable made for restful nights. The location was great for the west side of the island. It was easy to get to restaurants and various beaches. Kahalu'u beach was nearby and the snorkeling was great there. We had our own masks and snorkels, but appreciated the selection of fin sizes. Neither of us needed to rent fins. We saw whales every day from the lanai and dolphins on several occasions. The kitchen was well equipped and the farm market next door was a great source of papayas and pineapples. We used the blender and fruit to make excellent frozen daiquiris. Holly was very responsive to questions and also one minor issue we had with a lamp not working. We would definitely stay here again.

It is a great place to stay in the condo. Almost have everything that for daily life. it is very convenient.

Booked a last minute trip to Big Islans and Jenna was very accommodating to allow early check in and let us use the beach chairs and towels. The home is charming and cozy as described. It’s a convenient drive into town. Make sure to take a walk to the back to see the ocean views!

Kelly's place was a great spot in Kona. The condo was exactly as listed and had easy check in with a provided code. There was a quick snafu with check in that was quickly resolved by Kelly's responsiveness. The sand/pool area was a wonderful place for sunset and tide pool viewing. Would stay again!

This paradise is an excellent spot for your Kailua-Kona-based vacation! It is right on Alii Drive, close to the ocean and town. Sherry had beach chairs and a surf board, anything you could want for the beach. The king bed is super nice, and having the windows unit AC helped when it got warm with no breeze in the evening. we also used the pullout couch/bed, and it was surprisingly comfortable! I would rent from Sherry again, and I would rent this location. Perfect jumping off spot for our Big Island adventure.

This location is great! Beach and tidepool is right downstairs. Also an easy drive to a great snorkeling place with kids, Kahulu'u Beach Park. Make sure to bring water shoes because this island's beaches has a lot of lava rocks. The balcony view overlooks the sea and the rocky beach, and you can see many surfers at all times of the day in the ocean which is interesting for kids to watch.
