Lovely place in a very quiet area. Clean and spacious. Pretty view of the ocean and great deck to enjoy the sounds of the sea, the birds, and the peace of Hawaii. We will stay again, if possible. Thank you Kevin.

Everything about this trip/location/host/property was fantastic - the host was very responsive and kind, available if needed and easy to communicate with, the property was stocked with everything and more that we could have needed and very thoughtfully decorated/equipped for our trip. The property itself was amazing - the sounds and sight of the ocean every day is unbeatable, the location was perfect for our activities on Big Island, the quiet, solitude and peace were constant, great landscaping/decorating... the entire place felt comfortable and homey for the entire stay. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone staying on BI and would definitely stay here again if available next time we are on BI. Thanks for a great trip!

We loved this apartment and its location in Puako. The space was perfect for our family of 3. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our own meals. We really loved the deck with the view and great seating areas. The beds were super comfy. It was very helpful to have big beach towels and umbrellas since we were traveling very light with only small carry-ons. I would highly recommend this property if you like a quiet, less touristy location. There are turtles in the bay across the street and really great beaches nearby. Host was helpful and easy to communicate with. He left us homemade cookies knowing we would be arriving very late at night. ;)
