We had a great time staying in Puako. The property is immediately across the street from a public beach which was perfect for all many water activities. We enjoyed walking around looking at the tide pools, turtles, sunsets and stars at night. We seldom saw many people on this beach except for sunset, it felt somewhat private. We could have spent more time at this beach but spent much of our time swimming and boogie boarding 5 minutes away at Hapnua. Our condo was clean, suited two couples well and had nearly everything that one would need including kitchen, bath supplies, and beach gear (boogie boards, umbrella, towel mats, cooler, etc). The property was well maintained and had beautiful plumeria all around! The general store next door was very convenient as this location is removed from the busier resort areas nearby (which we preferred, it was nice and quiet).
We would happily stay here again!
