À propos de cet hébergement

Notre condo a 62 avis CINQ étoiles! Sunny Puako, Hawaii, Ocean View & AC

Aloha! Voici votre rare opportunité de découvrir une copropriété bien aménagée, propre et fraîche dans le pittoresque petit village hawaïen de Puako! Nous avons de nouveaux appareils de cuisine et la chambre principale a une véranda privée et une vue sur l'océan. Cette chambre principale est équipée d'un lit California King Size pour rendre votre temps de sommeil incroyable! Et saviez-vous que notre endroit a aussi un caca de natation!?

Nous possédons notre condo depuis 2005 avant la fusion de Homeaway et VRBO. Nos 62 notes cinq étoiles de nos clients sont l'aboutissement d'années de commentaires (bien que seules certaines d'entre elles apparaissent maintenant sur ce site). Nous sommes un STVR APPROUVÉ # 19-359590 suivant toutes les exigences de la loi de l'État d'Hawaï et notre ID d'hébergement de taxe à Hawaï # T-006-562-6112. STVR signifie Short Term Vacation Rental.

Ce condo est un endroit pour se détendre et profiter de la splendeur ensoleillée de Puako, le joyau de la grande île, où les bruits du surf ou le retour des baleines dans la baie peuvent vous bercer pour dormir la nuit. La chambre principale a son propre A / C, et le salon a sa propre plus grande unité A / C avec un rendement élevé qui refroidit le condo.

La deuxième chambre est aménagée avec un lit queen-size de même confort que le maître et est nichée contre l'arrière du condo avec sa propre porte d'entrée privée. Des placards complets et une décoration tropicale créent un thème de détente.

Il y a beaucoup de commodités supplémentaires qui créent la vraie ambiance d'Aloha dans la copropriété Puako # 303. Ce propriétaire a beaucoup voyagé et a apporté dans ce logement les «petites choses» qui font de notre temps loin de chez nous une expérience «bien» ou une excellente!

Articles de voyage inattendus tels que savons, shampooings, crème solaire, pansements, café, thés, tapis de plage, livres de cuisine de l'île ou `` Big Island Revealed '', des livres sont souvent disponibles pour votre plaisir. L'accès Internet haut débit, la télévision par câble à écran plat et les repas en plein air sur la véranda pour des couchers de soleil à couper le souffle sont toutes des options qui distinguent cet hébergement des autres.

La salle Paniolo se double d'un bureau lorsque le canapé-lit queen-size n'est pas utilisé. Accordez-vous quelques instants privés au bureau spacieux pour écrire une carte postale "Je souhaite que vous soyez ici" ou "vous devez venir me rejoindre!" à des amis ou à des proches ...

L'hospitalité abonde dans cette maison car elle a des appareils propres et beaux, des ustensiles de cuisine et des draps, y compris six serviettes de plage moelleuses et également une sélection de livres de plage pour votre voyage à la plage. Ce condo a une vue sur le surf et le littoral qui est plus facilement accessible que d'autres dans le complexe en raison de son emplacement au troisième étage.

L'accès à la nourriture et aux services est à proximité et sans les embouteillages de Kona! Des hôtels et complexes hôteliers cinq étoiles de classe mondiale ont choisi cette région car elle offre la proximité de certaines des plus belles plages du monde (Hapuna et Wailea).

Les activités sur l'île peuvent également inclure une multitude de choses; golf, équitation, plongée, surf, observation des oiseaux, visite de jardins botaniques, pêche, plongée en apnée, boutiques, spas, voile, randonnée dans les forêts tropicales luxuriantes, promenades en hélicoptère, gastronomie, retraites spirituelles ou balnéaire.

Une simple promenade le matin ou le soir de l'autre côté de la rue depuis ce Puako Condo # 303 peut vous offrir des vues à couper le souffle sur les tortues de mer dans leur habitat naturel et l'occasion de faire de la plongée avec tuba ou de plonger dans des eaux protégées et des récifs coralliens. Il y a une piscine dans le jardin du complexe pour ceux qui préfèrent faire de l'exercice, prendre le soleil ou se détendre au bord de la piscine. Choisissez quelques oranges ou bananes de saison dans le jardin et préparez un smoothie au jus frais à siroter pendant que vous vous détendez!

Price point for the condo is a major plus given the cost of hotels nearby. However, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, the landlord elected to ding me in ratings for bringing the cleaniness and multiple plumbing issues to her attention.

Apartment was clean, bright and comfortable. Bed and linens so comfortable. In a long history of rentals this was the best equipped apartment we've stayed in, everything you could possibly need plus a great store next door. Finally Steve and Sonja were great to work with, accomadated a late check out for us. Couldn't ask for a better experience, many thanks Steve and Sonja

Perfect Location

My husband and I just returned from a very enjoyable vacation at Steve and Sonja's condominium. Although the condo is older, it is very clean and well maintained. The master bed is quite comfortable. They have provided both beach chairs and beach towels for their guests. The washer and dryer in the unit worked well. There is a hair dryer. We did use the air conditioners some and they kept the condo very cool. The beach access is across the road. The walk is short and the beach is nice. We enjoyed the electric Webber grill on the lani. The view does overlook the parking lot but there is nice water view as well. This area is very quiet which is what we were looking for. The resort areas have many places to dine. Sarah, the property manager, was very helpful. The only negative is there is no dishwasher as stated in the description. We really enjoyed staying here. Please note the homes across the street rent upwards of $2500/night. This condo is in a great area and has a really unique and enjoyable atmosphere.

Second stay at Puako condo

We stayed at Sonja and Steve's condo last year and returned again for two weeks this March. Last year we found everything about this condo was exactly as advertised by Sonja and Steve. This year? Just the same, except only better because of the new appliances. (Tip for visitors - If you stop on the way from the airport to buy groceries, don't purchase condiments, spices or other similar staples without first checking the condo because we found the fridge and cupboards well stocked with these things.) Across the road is a wonderful sandy beach where we saw turtles while snorkeling. We took a whale watching trip from the Puako Bay boat launch (a five minute walk down the road). This condo is also conveniently located on the island; a short drive from the airport and to other great beaches, grocery stores, farmer's markets and access to the Saddle Road for Mauna Kea or to cross over to the other coast for Volcano National Park. Finally, Sonja and Steve are wonderful to deal with. We will be returning here next year. (Actually, for purely selfish reason, I should have given this condo a lousy review in order to increase our chances of finding an opening next year. ☺)

we were impressed with this condo. It was clean and everything that you would need was available.

We love Puako and this is a perfect place to stay. Beaches are close and all the equipment you need is available at this unit. Beds are comfortable and AC available if needed. We just used the ceiling fans. The condo has a nice homey feel to it and I would recommend it to friends. Sonja and Steve are very helpful and answer questions quickly.

Wonderful Stay in Puako

We had a great holiday and enjoyed our stay at this very clean and well-appointed condominium. We loved the location, and our teen boys trudged off to the wonderland across the street every morning with their nets and buckets to explore the tidepools. Between that, the snorkeling, the fishing, and the exploring, it was very "Boy's Life" in a way that is all too uncommon in our family's day-to-day urban lifestyle. As others have noted, it's great being so close to world-class Hapuna Beach for sun and boogie boarding, as well as the beach at mile marker 69 (our favorite thanks to the shade and snorkeling). One thing that may not be mentioned enough in other reviews is the priceless breeze that blows through every evening and morning (at least in December). It's such a pleasant and peaceful breeze to fall asleep and wake up to. Everyone slept really well during our stay. As others have mentioned, Sara is really very sweet about nice little touches around the property like leaving fresh flowers in the elevator. We so overpacked because of the washer/dryer and how well stocked the condo was. Had many opportunities to support the local economy at the general store, farmers markets, etc. We took advantage of the kitchen, but also enjoyed a splurge at Merriman's and The Copper Bar at Mauna Kea. Bamboo up in Hawi was worth the drive. We hope to return in the future.

We really liked the condo location; and as many others have said, it was very well appointed and had everything we needed. We used their coolers, beach chairs, life jackets, beach towels, and boogie boards daily. It also had plenty of bath towels which was nice for a family of 5. Thanks for everything Sonja!!

Memorable Time in Hawaii!

Condo had everything we needed to stay in Puako. Very convenient location as it is close to all the best beaches on the big Island. Recommend black sand beach for snorkeling; Hapuna and Mauna Kea for relaxing /playing in waves. Everyone at the condo, and the island are really nice. Neighbors helped out with my son when he was stung by a bee. Wife couldn't get enough of mango left out kindly by Sarah the building manager. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend. The condo was really hot when we first got in, but once we turned on the ac it was better. Aloha!

Piece of Paradise

I truly enjoyed my stay in Puako in Condo #303. The owners, Steve and Sonja, were wonderful and easy to communicate with when I had questions. I never needed her, it was nice to know there was onsite help/support just down the hall in #301 w/ manager Sara (I did see her around and appreciated the lovely flowers she put out every day). The condo itself was perfect for me: cute, clean, comfy, well-stocked (kitchen, bath, laundry, beach, etc), and w/ a beautiful view from the balcony. Although mostly quiet, there were times when I could hear neighbors - Nothing that destroyed my relaxation and enjoyment, and most seemed to follow the guidelines of doors/windows closed when watching TV, listening to music, etc. What I loved the most was the location. Although big, new hotels can be nice, I grew up in a small beach town so I relished in being a bit “off the grid” and away from the larger developments. I loved all the beach access areas just across the street and/or down the road and I really enjoyed having the cute, friendly local store just next door. To me, this location and this condo were heaven and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

Everything you hope for a longer term stay: Very clean, a Well stocked kitchen, lovely balcony with a view, fans and comfy chairs. The condo is within minutes of two great beaches. The building itself is well maintained and quiet. We will definitely be back.

I Recomend This Property Absolutely

This condo is perfectly located to explore all the Big Island has to offer. The condo unit itself is equipped with everything you will need. The general store next door is fantastic. The on site property manager is a super host. I look forward to staying here again. The third floor ocean view and breeze was amazing. If only I could take it home with me. The mattress on the hide a bed in the 3rd bedroom/den could use replacement but we found a mattress cover in the closet to improve it. Literally the only challenge we experienced. The owners were very easy to deal with and accommodating.

A wonderful get-away and home away from home - everything you need!

We enjoyed our time at this spacious, comfortable, and relaxing condo with our toddler, and hope to stay there again! A great view, more than a complete kitchen, a very short walk to (and everything you need for) fun at the beach, and super clean. Appreciated the touches of home, the deck seating, washer and dryer, and air conditioning, as I got sick the day we arrived and had to stay there a lot while my husband and daughter went on jaunts to the beach, pool, and store next door, etc. Impressed and thankful for the many kitchen amenities, toaster, rice cooker, microwave, dishes, pots and pans, seasonings, etc., (far more than any other VRBO we've stayed at), since we eat in almost entirely, due to food allergies. The on-site property manager and her assistant were friendly and helpful as well. It was extra windy during our stay but everyone said it was unusually so.

Perfect for Family

The condo provided the perfect location and accomodations for our family's Spring Break vacation. The three bedrooms and two baths provided plenty of room for our teenagers, in a quiet location. From the third floor balcony, we enjoyed great views of the ocean, whale watching, and beautiful sunsets. There is a beautiful beach across the street, and you are only 5-15 minutes away from additional pristine beaches, hiking locations, and shopping centers. The General Store next door stocks your basic grocery items, as well as many fresh specialty items and friendly sales associates. We appreciated all of the comforts of home and recreational gear, with the well stocked inventory of boogey boards, beach chairs & towels, snorkel gear, cooler, kitchen appliances and dishes, linens, travel guides, and more. We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves and waking up to the sounds of tropical birds. The pool is warm and clean and the grounds are well maintained and inviting, with a variety of tropical plants and flowers. The reserved parking space was a bonus, and the owners were a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend this condo, when visiting the Big Island.

Easy Family Spring Break Week

Our party of five (parents, two college kids, and one of their friends) stayed at this Puako condo for a fun spring break trip that didn't break the bank. The condo decor is island style without being kitschy and was very clean and comfortable. We did not use the AC and were comfortable with the sea breezes and the fans moving air through. For a group with different abilities and interests, the location is perfect. My husband and I liked to get up early while it was still cool and go for a walk or an early snorkel (the snorkelling at the end of Puako Beach Drive was amazing -- we saw turtles, a manta ray, and a multitude of varieties of coral and tropical fish). We would come back to the condo for breakfast and pack up a picnic lunch and head out to a sandy beach where the younger set could boogie board, etc. (Puako Bay is mostly lined with lava tide pools.) Hapuna, Beach 69 and Mauna Kea Beach all within 5-15 minutes drive. Beach towels, four folding beach chairs, a small cooler, four boogie boards, two beach hats were all provided by the condo, stored in the study. Sometimes we picked up sandwiches from the general store next door, which also had a used book exchange and good rental DVDs. One morning we walked along the beach trail that starts at the end of Puako Beach Drive and in fifteen minutes were eating breakfast at the outdoor restaurant at the Fairmount Orchid resort. The trail to the Petroglyphs is close by the same resort. One nonbeach day we drove to Waimea for lunch at Pau restaurant and then north along the Kohalo ridgeline and on to the end of the north shore road to hike down into the beautiful Eden-like Pohulu Valley. Shaved ice in Hawi on the way home along the coast. One evening we drove 10 minutes south to wander around the ancient Hawaiian fishponds on the Mauna Lani resort grounds and had a big splurge dinner at the Napua restaurant overlooking the beach there. A week sped by. We liked the condo option over staying at a fancy resort; it was more affordable, we could do our own cooking when we wanted to, and it felt more "real" to be in a small beach community. The large front bedroom with access to the lanai and ocean view is the best. The condo is delightful and we highly recommend it. We rented snorkel gear for the week from Snorkel Bob's at the Mauna Lani shopping area and did our main food shopping at the Foodland there; take the turn off Hwy 19 toward the Mauna Lani resort (the last turn before the Puako exit).

Great Location. Neat & Clean Condo

Our stay on the Big Island was our favorite part of our Hawaii vacation. Puako is off the beaten path which is what we were looking for. The snorkeling at the end of the road was the best we experienced anywhere. The beach access just across the road from the condo had turtles in abundance. We did travel around the Big Island and the location is a reasonable drive to popular attractions. The front bedrooms could use a little more A/C airflow, but the fan provided helped with that.

Our Hawaiian vacation

Since we are planning to eventually move to the Big Island after retirement, we've been there several times and have stayed at various condos. Overall, I would say this was the best. We had not stayed in Puako before and really enjoyed this quiet village. It's quite scenic and relaxing. The little general store next door pretty much has everything you would need. As for the condo, it's very well-stocked and very comfortable. The master bedroom and living room has an air conditioner although you really don't need it. The balcony has a great view of the ocean. It's on the third floor and there's an elevator. The only drawback is no dishwasher but even this was not a big problem. We have teenagers we were able to put to work! Overall, I would give this condo a hearty two thumbs up!

Mele Kalikimaka destination getaway

Owners were very helpful throughout the process. When I expressed interest and had questions prior to booking. Owners called me to answer questions about the area. They were very easy to work with. Upon arrival, the condo was better than pictures and a very pleasant surprise. There was enough room for our family of five (with three teenagers) to be able to have some space, so much better than a hotel. The condo was clean and neat upon arrival. We felt like the listing was accurate in describing the amenities. Opening the windows at night we could here the soothing ocean waves. Terrific location!! Puako is a quiet oceanfront community that is close enough to amenities to not feel isolated, but separated enough to be quiet and relaxing. In the mornings, several options were available for the family to do different activities without getting in the car including strolling or running on Puako Road, snorkeling, sun bathing on the beach, cycling, swimming in the pool, or quietly reading on the balcony. From there, our adventures were not far away. Our favorite beach on the Big Island, Hapuna, is 5 minutes away. We would go in the morning when they opened, stay for a few hours before the crowds came, go and do other activities throughout the day, and then come back at about 4 when the crowds were leaving. The surf was high while we were there and the. Boogie Boarding was excellent. Other amenities including groceries, shopping, farmers market and restaurants are only about 10 minutes away. In a pinch, the Puako General Store is right next door. Truly a great stay!
