About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Hawaii Oceanfront 1-bedroom Cottage

Throw a pebble into the Pacific Ocean from your lanai.
Hale Aloha is a detached, very private, oceanfront guest house located in the magical neighborhood of Puako, next to Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Ocean breezes and ceiling fans keep the home comfortable year around.

Typical of the beachfront homes that have made Puako so beloved, Hale Aloha is ideal for couples who appreciate a sense of place in a perfectly maintained Hawaiian-style beach house. This property is perfect for lounging and enjoying the sunshine and ocean air. Ocean access is adjacent to Hale Aloha, an ideal location to go fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddling.

The Main House is also available for rental at VRBO674382.

Puako is one of the sunniest destinations in Hawaii with a unique blend of old Hawaii charm and pristine coastline. Each day is filled with the sound of the sea, coconut trees swaying in the tropical breeze and the beauty of Hawaii. You share the ocean with sea turtles, humpback whales, and play on an oceanfront rich with sea life. Your day ends with one of the most stunning sunsets in the world.

Hale Aloha was built in the 1950's, and was completely renovated in 2014 without losing its Old Hawaiian charm. The fun and playful decor with plantation doors, wood louver windows, and hardwood laminate floors is a tropical retreat!

The warm ocean is your swimming pool. Protected and only 2-5 feet deep with a mostly sandy bottom, it is home to green sea turtles and colorful fish. Just beyond the reef-protected lagoon is the best snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking in Hawaii. In low tide, the tidal pools will inspire, January through May, you can watch the humpback whales play and breach.
Morning walks along the two-lane Puako Beach Drive will find you at Puako's famous ancient Hawaiian rock carvings, the largest example of Petroglyphs in the world. There is also a grocery store in walking distance.

Being an older home in my opinion could use some updates/upgrades but the location was obviously the draw to the property. Definitely appreciated response when we had some questions and check in and out very simple. Maybe local food recommendations/options would be helpful for us "old folks" that don't always trust the internet reviews.

If you're looking for a classic Hawaiian experience, this is it. Amazing cottage - we loved just about everything about it. So incredible to wake up in the morning to the cool breeze, sounds of the ocean at your door, and a turtle or two lounging on the lava rocks. What we really enjoyed was the location and Puako - awesome for morning and evening walks, friendly people, amazing sunsets, exploring tidepools, and central location to access Big Island activities. Stunning sandy beaches and great snorkeling close by. If you're looking for a low key, non-resort place to put your feet up, this is it. We loved this place and will be back.

I would give this 12 out of 10 if that was possible. So unique. Rustic but in terrific way as all appliances updated, very clean but also you feel like you are living outdoors if you want to and then can close off completely when you don't. Location ideal, close to amazing beach and accessible to entire island on day trips. Stars at night are indescribable. Stay here, stop looking.

We’ve stayed at this property multiple times & will continue to because of the location & unique style of the property. This studio unit is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood near the larger resorts. It’s oceanfront which allows for great viewing of turtles, dolphins, whales & those amazing Hawaiian sunsets. The property owners are quick to reply if needed & check-in is easy. If you want to stay in a place where you feel that old time aloha spirit then Hale Aloha is the perfect place.

Perfect location with stunning views. Bathroom is nice, kitchen well appointed and there are at least 4 places to sit in the studio itself, not simply the comfy bed. We are in our 70s so we had some difficulties getting luggage up and down the 15 entry stairs. We also fought with the sliding doors leading to the lanai. All in all, we had a lovely stay. There's a channel in the water within walking distance that will take you beyond the lava rocks to the reef. Very nice!
