Moana Imaku - Ocean View Home w/ ADA Features

Aloha and Welcome to Moana Imaku! Come and enjoy your Hawaiian getaway in a lovely, spacious, light filled home all your own. In creating this vacation home it was important for the owner to build a place that could be enjoyed by all, including the differently abled. This home is wheel chair accessible from the entry ramp to the wide doorways and easy-access showers in both bathrooms. There are lots of extra features for those with special needs. Everyone in your group will love the ocean view lanai a block from the ocean... and you may meet the neighborhood hen, Henrietta, who often leaves a freshly laid egg for guests on a chair cushion!

When you enter this hale you will notice the lovely tropical furnishings and décor, shiny African mahogany floors, large fully equipped gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances, and dining area. Not to mention the newly furnished and comfortable lanai with 2 loveseats, 2 chairs and a dining table that sits 4. The spacious living room includes a Smart TV and plenty of seating area.

The bedrooms consist of a four poster queen size bed in the master bedroom with its own master bathroom. First guest room has two single beds and second guest room has one queen size bed. Guest bathroom is conveniently located between both bedrooms.
Moana Imaku also features indoor laundry room with front load washer & dryer, and a 400 square foot lanai where you can enjoy outdoor dining and take in your ocean views.
This hale is located on the beautiful Puna coast a block from the ocean and the beautiful ocean park, bringing you our island sunshine and trade breezes on the sunrise side of the island.
We hope that when you come to Moana Imaku that you will find the tranquility and harmony of these beautiful islands. NOTE: there is no beach access in the neighborhood as the ocean cliffs are more than 20 feet high - breathtaking for photographers and other nature lovers!


This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

Idyllic Location and Lovely Home

We especially enjoyed all the fans in every room and the nice large lanai, where we had breakfast every morning looking at the view of the ocean. This is a very spacious property and had lots of room for the three of us. There were plenty of windows to open when we returned after a day of touring around, which helped to dissipate the heat.

Wonderful property

Very clean, spacious and overall comfortable. Bed in master bedroom could do with replacing but other queen very comfortable. Despite no AC, house cooled off well at night. Favourite part was covered lanai. Kept us dry even when it rained. Would have liked a few more garbage/recycling bags to useIt is a drive to the drier west coast beaches but convenient for Volcano National Park & Black and Green Sand beaches. Shopping at Pahoa convenient. I’d highly recommend Kaleo’s if looking for a place to eat.

Darker in area so star werw spectator. Kitchen and house well stocked with most basics needed. No AC but ceiling fans throughout and windows provide nice breezes Would definitely recommend and stay again! Communication was excellent

The property is near the ocean. Great view from the lānai. At night the house was warm and the flooring was slippery and damp. The ceiling fans were a nice option to try and cool the house down. The house was clean and there was plenty of space. Check-in and out was easy.

The neighbors are the problem

This property is absolutely beautiful. The location is far from most things, but by a beautiful state park. Everything about the property itself was great. However, the neighbors on both sides make it very clear that they would rather not have a VRBO nextdoor to them. The ones closest to the ocean called the property management company and made a false claim that some of the people in our party were smoking on the lanai. This was obviously not true and could have been fact checked with the cameras that are facing the lanai. There are several cameras on this property. Instead, we received an email informing us it was illegal and we needed to stop. The neighbor on the side farthest from the ocean started verbally harassing us on the day we checked in. He could be heard yelling "Shut the f*** up and get back in your f***ing rental" whenever we were outside, regardless of the time of day. Several people in my group are retired military and have hearing loss as a result so they do speak at a slightly higher volume than someone with perfect hearing. It definitely put a damper on our trip to feel like we couldn't go outside unless we were leaving.

Beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is very clean and very well stocked. The beds we very comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and perfect for preparing meals. We spent every morning and evening on the lanai. At night we loved the sounds of the ocean and the chirp of the little frogs. I do recommend to arrive before dark. It is difficult to find at night when you are not familiar with the area. It is dark. There is no air conditioner, but once you get in and open the doors and turn on the fans, the home cools down quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

Great out of tourist area location

House is exactly as advertised. Check in process was easy. We enjoyed the book of information about the area of the house and things to do. Lanai is the place to be as the main houses very hot and stuffy during the time we stayed there. We open the windows at night, and used all the fans. Bring earplugs if you Can’t sleep with nature noises lol. Neighborhood is definitely far away from the touristy area so be prepared to drive when you want to do something. That was our plan all along so we had no issues.

Sunrise in hawaii

We had a wonderful stay at Moana Imaku. Everything was as advertised but the furniture on the lanai is getting a bit weathered. That being said we did spend most of our time out on that lanai staring at the ocean and enjoying the sounds of the neighborhood. I was up early every morning to see a beautiful sunrise over the ocean. The location was great, from there we drove around the island. The kitchen is extremely well set up and made cooking from home easy. Would definitely go again.

Beautiful, better than we expected!

When we arrived it was pitch dark. The house was very nice, clean and better than what we expected. We could hear the ocean waves but could not see anything. The next morning, we were awestruck with the beautiful view of the ocean virtually right outside our door. You can not imagine how us desert rats from Arizona felt!! It’s been an amazing experience and we wish we had MORE TIME! Hopefully we will be able to come back!

Slice of paradise

We stayed in Moana Imaku for a week and loved it. The house is really nice, the neighborhood is safe and quite and the ocean is just a two minute walk. We were there in July so we were concerned about not having AC. However, there are ceiling fans in all the rooms and the location cooled down enough that we had no problems sleeping. We did make it a point to be out of the house in the afternoons as it was quite warm.

Paradise in hawaii

A most perfect stay at this beautiful house in Hawaii. We had a party of 5 and fit very well in this house. We loved the location, being so close to the ocean and felt very welcomed by the neighbors. We felt like we lived on the lanai, it’s perfect! Breakfasts and dinners were spent out there most nights shared with lots of laughter and stories. The coqui frogs put us to sleep every night, we miss them already! They had lots of additional items we could use for the beach that we loved and all the amenities were great. Would absolutely book this place again and hope to return in the future!

Real Hawaii experience

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moana Imaku. The house is located on the edge of a real neighborhood. Quiet and across the street from a neighborhood park. The complete opposite of a typical Hawaii condo development. The lanai is probably where we spent the most time, eating and relaxing. Restaurants and a grocery store are probably a 20-minute drive away. The slightly funky, small town of Pahoa is also close. The property manager was great. really responsive and friendly.

Loved walking across the road to the park ~ the rental had great beach chairs in all sizes for us to carry across the road where we would sit on the grass and enjoy the amazing ocean view!!
