Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Puako

Minh’s place is a treasure! The location looking over the ocean is breathtaking. We had the best sleep in months with the doors open and hearing the waves. Whales swam by a few times and walking to the beach was good exercise. I plan to return.

We had a fantastic stay! Beautiful home, quiet and conveniently located. This is truly a beautiful property and we would be glad to stay again.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and made check-in a breeze. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch Airbnb experience.

We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

If you are considering this house, book it! We’ve stayed in over two dozen places over the years and this was by far the cleanest place. Great location overlooking the ocean. It is very secluded and full of lush foliage and fruit trees. Debi the caretaker, is a delight! She provided all kinds of great recommendations from the best beaches to the best restaurants. We’ve been to all the islands and this was my favorite. Such beautiful and diverse landscape. Mahalo!

Absolutely stunning home…great location and furnished with pretty much anything you could ever need. Between the hammock, ping pong table, tree house, and beach toys, it’s hard to imagine that any place could possibly be more kid-friendly. Hosts were responsive and extremely accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again, and highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Hawaiian home and great location. Home had everything we needed. Just what we were looking for away from big resorts and traffic. Much more than we expected from property. Truly paradise with trees, flowers, birds and nice locals. Picked oranges and lemons for fresh juices. Good restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend!

It was a consensus in our family that this was our best vacation ever! We woke up in the morning to beautiful birds singing and the fragrance of tropical flowers. The location was stunning, peaceful and secure, and within walking distance of the ocean, great coffee places and restaurants. Sean and Anjali were great hosts and if you opt to stay at their home you will not be disappointed.

Great condo to stay at for a visit to Kona. Great located, Erika is very easy to communicate with. No troubles getting in and Erika even let us have a late checkout since our flight out was very late. Highly recommended!

A friend stayed here last year so I was already familiar with the home and surroundings. For me the location was perfect for my needs. I liked the creative use of space in this apartment. Very comfy.

I really enjoyed my stay at Jon and Mariluz’s place. From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly and helpful. The home was spotless, quiet, and peaceful, with a beautiful view that made my stay even more special. The bed was super comfortable, and I had some of the best, deepest sleep during my time there. What I loved most was the perfect balance of being close to town and the beach while still enjoying a quiet and serene atmosphere. Jon and Mariluz also shared amazing suggestions for places to visit, which made exploring the area even better. Anything extra I needed, they provided with warmth and kindness. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with wonderful hosts!

We began our 17 day tour of the big island at Dennis (Max) place and ended our island time on his property in a different unit. Both were excellent. 1000 ft elevation so out of the desert heat of Kailua- Kona. 15 minutes from the airport up the mountain in a neighborhood. We appreciated having a kitchen and ability to create a meal there. Bed was comfy and linens were lovely.

We had an amazing stay! The apartment was so spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved watching the horses from the lanai and having Buddy the dog greet us everyday when we arrived back. We felt like we had the best spot on the island to watch the sunset. The sounds of the coqui frogs at sunset was absolutely amazing and so relaxing to fall asleep to. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped for self catering and it was really helpful having some things in the cupboards like spices, oil, syrup, etc. We were so sorry when it was time for us to leave!

We travel frequently with our teenage/ adult kids using Airbnb or other home rental services. We've only come upon a handful of hosts and homes that really seem to understand the needs of the traveler. Priscilla and Rob's home is one of them! I unfortunately did not get to meet Priscilla on this trip, but Rob went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and yet also give us our privacy. The home is clean, organized and has all the essentials and more to make meals, and enjoy your time. The hosts provided a lovely welcome gift of food items for breakfast and snacks, as well as some beautiful produce items. If you know how expensive groceries are in Hawaii, it tells a lot about the generosity and caring of the hosts. Thank you Rob and Priscilla for a wonderful week! We made wonderful memories.

Exceptional host! Had a wonderful time in a great setting! Would book every time we are on the big island!

Lopaka’s place was absolutely wonderful for our first trip to Kona! The instruction is super clear about how to find the place and how to park. We did snorkeling/swimming at Kona and we were able to the laundry which was amazing! Waking up in the morning was fabulous with nice ocean view, singing birds. There are great coffee shops which was less than 5 mins walk. Highly recommended the place and will definitely come back next time to the Big Island!

Great place to stay. Clean and sizeable. There was a stocked kitchen and two bathrooms. There is snorkel gear, a body board, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and towels available for use. There are restaurants, gas station, and groceries very close. The area is beautiful. Checking on and out took no effort. The only downside is that it was far from many of our activities. We picked this location because we had a conference at Westin Hapuna resort which is about 20 min away. Most other activities were 40-90 min away however, since we spent a lot of time on kona and Hilo. Totally recommend if you can handle a bit of driving.

Vacation with Girlfriends. The view from the Lanai was incredible! Holly was always responsive and communicated with clear instructions. Wonderful place to stay!! We will return to this Beautiful Home that she shared!! Thank you Holly!!

We had a blast staying in Sean’s place, really appreciated the timely response to resolve the check in problem, thank you so much for the hosting!

We had a wonderful time at Cooks Landing! Our first impression was 'WOW'. At first we were skeptical about some of the photos seeming dark... but the pictures do not do this place justice. Beautiful home that is located in a beautiful private community. It was clean and well stocked with plenty of extras that you may need from either home use or the beach. We loved the location, which was located not far from a key highway intersection that could take you to your Hawaiian adventure. The Ocean Club (pool) pictures do not do it justice either! It had a great design that overlooked the ocean that was perfect for watching the sunset with a Mai Tai in hand! I would say that the pool is family friendly too. It had shallow depth & a spot that toddlers could play in. It had a bar, restaurant, and tasteful live local music. 12/10 would recommend this place. A very big MAHALO to Jim & Kristi for opening this beautiful home to people.

Great location central to town. Very cute and clean space! Jenna was a great host. Thank you!

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!

A great place to stay!! Beautiful location, and quiet. the only downside was there was very little space to set toiletries, suitcases, etc. It was still very well worth the stay, though, and we really enjoyed it!

Very beautiful home!!! Tons of amenities and space. Beds were super comfortable and tons of extra blankets and pillows. Amazing views from the lanai, super close to the ocean. The sounds of the waves was phenomenal. 10/10 would rent again and recommend!!
