A wonderful relaxing get away to the magical, historic Puako on the Big Island. The rate covers 6 guests. The "Dream House" is located in the enchanting beach community of Puako on the Big Island of Hawaii, just north of the Mauna Lani resort and south of the Mauna Kea, on the sunny Northwest side of the island. This impeccable property provides everything for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, with a multitude of adventures to choose from as well. Set upon an expansive grassy lawn, this fully enclosed property offers a safe haven for young and old.
Just steps away is the beach access leading you to the magic of Puako. The lava pools are perfect for all explorers. Swim with the sea turtles and amazing sea life. The beach is perfect for sun tanning while keeping a close eye on the kids or immersing yourself in your favorite book. A good pair of reef walkers is a good idea. They will allow you hours and miles of exploration along this pristine stretch of beach and lava pools. Just offshore are the mothers and baby whales that come every year late winter into early spring. The warm waters give them a safe haven to mate, give birth and nurture their young. This area is also has world-class snorkeling and scuba-diving.
After a day at the beach, come home to a luxurious, private, outdoor rain shower surrounded by lava rocks and bamboo. Enjoy a game of ping pong with the kids or nap on the daybed while you enjoy the breezes of Hawaii. All of which is included on the ground level, covered, open-air recreation area.
Upstairs, the open floor plan and abundance of windows and walls of sliding doors allow guests to enjoy the trade winds that freely flow thru Puako, 24/7. However, for those extra hot and sticky days, the home offers the luxury of being fully air-conditioned with split units in every main room. Wireless Internet is available throughout the property with TV in every bedroom and the main living room. The over 2,500 sqft of living space features furnishing that are all new and well appointed. The fully stocked kitchen has a gas range wall oven and microwave. There is formal dining both indoors and outdoors, a gas BBQ and wrap around lanai on the upper level. There are peekaboo views of the ocean to the west and beautiful mountain views to the east in a panoramic setting. The master bedroom and bathroom encompass the entire loft area of the 2nd story and has a pony wall that opens to the great room below. The 4th bedroom is an Ohana (family studio apartment) located on the ground level which includes its own bathroom.
Puako, once an ancient fishing village and sugar plantation, is now the ONLY residential oceanfront neighborhood on the South Kohala Coast. Take a 15 minute beach walk south to the nearby Fairmont Orchid for further sunsets, conversations, cocktails, appetizers, live music and dinner. One of our favorite must stops is is the famous blue Malasada truck. Hot homemade donuts as you wait. Be sure to visit uncle Bobby for a fresh cut coconut with a straw.
Puako is home to the largest collection of Hawaiian petroglyphs (rock drawings) in the State. Take the family on a petroglyph hunt and ask them what they think these ancient symbols could mean. Just make sure the whole family is wearing good shoes. Over 3,000 of these drawings can be found in Puako alone, each with a story to be told.
Our goal is to make the house a home away from home for our family and yours. Alex was born in ...

Our family of 4 stayed here with my in-laws, and we had the best week ever. Puako is (in our opinion) perfectly located to take advantage of most of the swimming/ water play beaches/entry points up and down the western coast. Then the waters in front of Puako are the cleanest and clearest we have found anywhere.
The house is brilliant and a pleasure to stay in. It is full of thoughtful and convenient amenities to ensure you have a restive stay.
Communication with the host/team supporting the property is instantaneous and considerate. We found all house rules and requests reasonable.
The front yard and downstairs lounge area were amenities that were taken more advantage of than anticipated. Our son spent hours kicking a ball around the yard, drawing, and playing ping pong downstairs. Our daughter lounged and read on the sofa, as did we. It is a wonderful space for any time of day.
Overall, we enjoyed our time in Puako and felt so lucky to have found this gorgeous property to explore from it. We hope to return soon. Mahalo Puako!

We had a fantastic stay in this home. The owner and property manager couldn’t have been nicer, more thoughtful and more attentive. We arrived to a clean, beautiful home with a tray of Hawaiian treats for us and card wishing my husband and I a happy anniversary. The property manager called throughout the week to ensure we had everything we needed.
The home is across the street from the ocean with multiple access points to beach/ocean/snorkeling areas. It is close to popular destinations, restaurants, shopping, etc…..but the community is somewhat a best kept secret hidden away from the highway so it’s relaxed and quiet.
The house easily accommodated our family of five and was well stocked with everything we needed and more. I would not hesitate returning to this home for future visits to the island.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The pictures and description of the property are accurate. Owner/property manager were communicative and easy to reach. We would absolutely recommend this house to anyone and we would love to stay again in the future. So peaceful yet still close to a lot of things.

There isn’t anything we would want to change about this vacation rental in Puako. It is a stunning home that 100% embodies the Aloha spirit. Absolutely everything a person could want or need is included. We have vacationed in this wonderful little town for 35 years but this was our first time at this particular rental property. We had our adult children and their keikis with us and despite some of us getting the flu on the flight over, we still were able to make wonderful memories. We would certainly stay here again.
The listing doesn’t mention there is a Graco portable crib in the ohana and knowing this ahead of time would have saved us bringing our own. I would suggest adding this info to the VRBO listing. Guests will be asked to comply with house rules that include careful attention to the plumbing and septic system but this is standard with all Puako rentals and shouldn’t be considered a deterrent. Additionally, the on-island property manager was always on call to answer any questions we had. We lived like royalty for the week we were there. Mahalo.

Hale Moe Uhane is a lovely very comfortable home in a great location near the end of Puako Road, perfect for long walks along the ocean trail. It is as clean as any rental can be and has all equipment necessary for a memorable stay. The managers communicated well and were attentive to any issue that arose. We’ll be back!

The house was terrific with a great kitchen, several comfortable communal spaces, and nicely appointed private spaces. Consequently, our party could happily spend 10 days doing a variety of activities: reading, playing ping pong, watching TV, doing yoga -- all interspersed with outside fun, including walking the beach path, swimming in the bay, snorkeling and body boarding at nearly Hapuna beach. The house was spectacular -- the beds and furniture comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, the outside space peaceful. We would love to spend more time at Hale Moe' Uhane.

I used to live in Puako so coming back here was nostalgic. There’s something magical about this place. My husband and I came with some good friends and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. This house has almost everything you could need. Loved playing ping pong and having so much space was nice. Really loved the evenings there on the lanai with the trade winds and the brightest stars you’ll ever see. The kitchen was nice and open and easy to cook. This was such a great spot. I would highly recommend staying here. I’ve stayed at quite a few air b n b’s and this one is one of my favorites.

Our family of four ( with two teenagers in tow ), truly enjoyed our stay at Hale Moe' Uhane. The property was as pictured and what you cannot see in photos is that it was fully stocked -- every room had been detailed to be fully livable. We loved the outdoor shower, wrap around veranda, BBQ and hang out area. So grateful for the beach gear too, the colorful beach umbrella gave us much needed shade on many afternoons at nearby Hapuna Beach. Thank you Alex!!! We hope to be back soon.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Hale Moe' Uhane! This house is so beautiful! The photos don't do it justice. We loved the neighborhood, and beach access points. Our favorite was the Keyhole down the street, where we found fantastic snorkeling! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! We barbecued one night, and played ping pong on other nights! We enjoyed dinners at Meridia, Canoehouse, The Big Island Brewhaus, and the Fish and Hog. We saw wild pigs, turkeys, lots of egrets and other birds. We had plenty of space for three couples. We hope to return soon!
