The unit is designed and setup to be completely self-sufficient. Let yourself in, enjoy the amazing ocean views and sunsets, do your own laundry, take out your own trash (bins on property), and check yourself out all from the convenience of communicating via the app. There is a property caretaker that lives below the unit but they do not handle the management of the unit.

There is a reason Puako is home to so many high end properties. The way it is situated perfectly on the west side of Big Island brings the perfect blend of pleasant (but not too strong) breezes, ideal water conditions for your favorite water activities and views of Maui across the ʻAlenuihāhā Channel.
Aloha! For the best way to explore the island, renting a car is the most convenient option, as it gives you the freedom to visit places at your own pace. However, if you prefer not to drive, the local bus system is an affordable way to get around, and you can easily catch an Uber, Lyft, or taxi for more direct routes.
Ceiling fans, portable fans, and a fresh island breaze through the windows will cool you off during your stay, but please note that the condo does not have air conditioning.
The condo offers plates, cooking supplies and serving sets, but please note there is only an induction stovetop and no oven. There is also a full size Weber grill on the deck.
Parking for up to 3 vehicles with a private driveway and private parking.

Beautiful view from outside Lanai, clean and cozy
Unit is hot upon entering however as you open up the sliding doors and windows it starts to cool down. The room that's closest to the lanai can be a bit noisy as the cars pass by. You can also hear the occupants on the lower level. Something to keep in mind
