Canât beat the location - quiet, private and close to great beaches. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Cottage was well-stocked and exceptionally clean. We loved our stay!
David was a lovely host and provided a generous welcome with tips on the local flora. The house is simple in the best way - utterly relaxing and with all you need. The location is spectacular for snorkeling because you can walk to the best spots and shower in the outdoor shower after. The cottage is charming with thoughtful updates (AC) and is impeccably maintained.
This cottage and itâs location is perfect in every way. We love the quiet, peaceful location and the beauty surrounding it, the ability to walk to wonderful snorkeling locations, and the peaceful community of Puako. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable annd Dave annd Kim have provided every convenience needed. We have made many visits and it is always spotlessly clean. Dave and Kim are wonderful hosts and we hope to be back again!
Booked a stay for medical conference- I enjoyed staying here more than resort. Perfect for 2 couples or family. Spacious with large rooms. Very private. Quiet relocation walking access to shore/tide pools/sunsets/coastal hiking. Quick drive to beautiful beaches. Hosts are excellent
Great location, amazing hosts. Several beach access spots within a 5 min walk. House is great, plus you have a lanai in back and front deck is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Enjoy
Affordable Pauko and Everything you need for a nice stay
Spent 10 days here and it was wonderful. Had everything we needed to relax at the house and enjoy a true Hawaiian neighborhood. Very close to the beach public access, so less than 5 min walk. Neighbors are very welcoming. Thanks David for all the great recommendations and mangos. Mike T
Everything about the house and hosts were just the best of the many places we've stayed. We didn't want to leave. They do a great job, and the kitchen is great for cooking, the location beautiful, and on and on. It is a special placeWe are seniors, and it was a comfortable place for us, and the ocean and wildlife were magical there. .
Absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. The host and hostess were especially gracious and allowed us to visit with their pet pigs. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Puako Vintage Cottage is a wonderful place to stay!
Aloha, Excellent location; the house is stocked with helpful items for vacationers--beach towels, beach chairs, coolers...the lanai and deck are delightful and the outdoor shower is exceptional. David and Kim are delightful people. I hope to visit again soon. Mahalo Kim and David.
We have stayed at a few different places in Puako and we found our favorite for sure. We loved the layout of the cottage and it was very clean and secluded. It was stocked with everything that we needed and enjoyed our stay. David was an excellent host and was there to help whenever we needed it. We plan on returning next year to stay here again.
Fantastic location. attentive and respectful owner. Cozy home with full amenities. Great outdoor shower. Morning coffee on the lanai listening to bird life was amazing.
This vintage cottage was the ideal place to be! Lovely home, clean, well-stocked, great amenities, communicative and friendly host, and most beautiful, relaxing, beach location on the island!
We had an amazing stay here! It was exactly as advertised and even better. The cottage is charming and full of character, offering the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is idealâpeaceful, beautiful, and just steps away from the beach. We can't wait to come back the next time we're on the Big Island!
This was our second time staying here. It really felt like home away from home. David even got bikes out for us so we could ride in the quiet neighborhood! There are beach accesses with beautiful coast lines right across the street.
We are 5 minutes drive from Hapuna beach. David and Kim have everything you need for staying at the beach. Weâll definitely stay there again! Thanks for your hospitality, David and Kim!
David is the perfect host, made you feel like the space was yours as much as it is his. Very well equipped, lanai was spacious and beyond comfortable. The outside shower is a must! Would stay here again without hesitation. Little little was a pleasure to meet!
Davidâs place was perfect for our stay in Puako!
It was very clean, comfortable,cozy, quite and private. We loved our stay here and look forward to coming back someday! Mahalo!
We had a wonderful stay. Home was clean and in a great location. Many beach entry points up and down the street. So far this has been our favorite place to stay. Best part is walking down to one of the many beach entry points to watch the sun set. Lots of places to snorkel too. Loved our time on the Big Island. Lots to do just a drive away. David and Kim were wonderful. Youâll have to ask about Little Little and Radiant!
Amazing location walking distance to several public beach accesses. 10 mn from beautiful Hapuna Beach. Cottage has 3 great areas. Front deck, inside the cottage and great back patio.
It's just that Puako is such a rare and special place and to have a chance to Live Work and Play in this area for many years now, We count our blessings, Mahalo David & Kim
Other than LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION, I would say;The fact that the property had an original !940's Beach cottage which was worth saving and we wanted to continue giving folks a chance to enjoy this incredible area and in the style of an earlier Hawaii that helped to make this a special choice for us Mahalo David & Kim
