Such a lovely spot
I love this neighborhood. It is quiet, far enough away from resorts to feel homey and local, but close enough to head to resorts for dinners out. The house was super clean and comfortable. We were very happy here. There is a bit of an ocean view from the deck and we spent lots of time there. The host was very helpful and responsive. We are pretty advanced snorkelers and we were able to snorkel from across the street out to the turtle cleaning station. We also signed up for a kayak/snorkel trip from a nearby beach park that was amazing. We could see humpbacks from the beach, which is about a 10 minute walk away. I have lived in Hawaii off and on my whole life and this neighborhood is really special. A mix of fancy and older homes.

Great stay!
Perfect place in paradise for our party of four. From pre-arrival to checkout, our hosts were great. The house had all the beach extras like towels and chairs. We look forward to a future stay.

Puako perfection
Beautiful, clean, quiet getaway close to fantastic beaches, the island's best angling spot, and stocked with thoughtful amenities in the kitchen and snorkel gear/beach chairs/etc. A gem of a spot.

Love it, love it, love it
What a lovely place to spend a few days! This exceptionally well remodeled unit is beautiful througout. We appreciated the high end appliances in the well stocked kitchen. We cooked most of our meals in the unit. And we appreciated thoughtful touches like night lights throughout, and motion sensitive lights on the external stairs from the car park. The second floor elevation gives some partial ocean views and the sound of waves can be heard whenever you are sitting outside. The large covered lanai had a table for meals and plenty of comfortable chairs. The unit is very close to shoreline access so getting out to the ocean is also easy and we took walks along the ocean tide pools some mornings, and took chairs out for some sunsets. We enjoy the slower pace of Puako (the road thru Puako is a dead end road so the traffic volume is pretty low, as is the road’s noise level). If you are thinking about this unit you won’t be disappointed.

What a great spot! I’ve stayed in many rentals in Puako, each one unique. This one has parking below and is perched, with a little view of the ocean, close enough to hear the gentle waves at night. Big lanai with seating and a barbecue. Surprised my brother with an impromptu trip who was able to reminisce about his past Ironman race while cheering on the athletes this year! Got to spend some quality time with family who live here, who came down and literally brought a mini luau feast for us. This rental is immaculate, comfortable, tastefully furnished, no clutter and definitely on the list to return to. Thank you hosts! Really beautiful place. Warmest Aloha and Mahalo. J.F.

Best VRBO ever!
Puako Kai Hideway was everything we needed and more! Quiet, immaculate, plenty of space, close proximity to all the beautiful beaches (turtle beach and Wailea are the best!) Our visit was special due to family circumstances, and our hosts Kyla and Jamie were so welcoming and accommodating. We plan to return next year and cannot wait! Puako Kai Hideaway is our new home away from home!

The most wonderful apartment we have ever rented!
We have immediately felt at home at this beautiful, spacious, comfortable and cosy place! It is luxuriously furnished with anything you might need, everything new and clean. Not only an iron, but also an ironing board and clothes horse, a water filter (which saved us a lot of money), a great travel guide and detailed information (extremely helpful) have been provided and we could even use the beach equipment, that brightened up each trip to the beach. From the terrace you can see and hear the sea, a public beach access is only steps away, where you can enjoy the sunset and occasionally even see sea turtles. We have enjoyed the quiet location in Puako and the privacy this apartment is offering. A special thank you to our hosts Kyla and James, we have appreciated your warm hospitality, the prompt and easy communication, and your support (including the early check-in upon arrival). If it would not be that far away we would definately come again!
