Holiday rentals with a washing machine and dryer in Puako

Kathy’s place was perfect for us near Kona and close to everything. She was extremely helpful and responsive and we would rent again!

Our stay was prefect and incredibly peaceful! it felt like staying with a friend or relative. There were so many wonderful touches. The major draw was the beautiful creek and waterfall and falling asleep with the windows open and the sounds of the jungle. It was tucked away and a wonderful glimpse of local living. A few notes for other travelers: there are other rentals on the property; however, we did not see anyone else besides Darrin upon arrival. Also, this is not one of those sterile, squeaky clean airbnbs that you might be useful. Its definitely super clean but has a "real house" sort of feel. Also, no AC as far as we could tell but it was very cool (and I run hot!) Also, the value for island accommodations was awesome and much appreciated! Darrin was extremely kind to ensure we had a crib for our little ones and even left fresh bananas on our doorstep in the morning - our toddler LOVED opening the door to see this surprise. Oh! and the bed was glorious! Mahalo!

we loved our stay, Matt and Rose's place was the perfect getaway for our 'Baby-moon'. the space is so peaceful and so much more beautiful than the pictures let on. we loved it here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. we would stay again in a heartbeat. thanks so much Matt and Rose!

It was a great experience! The garden is beautiful, the house is spacious, and the host responds quickly.

We had a fantastic stay at Adam’s peaceful home near Kona. The property is quiet, beautifully maintained, and just a 7-minute drive to town — the perfect mix of nature and convenience. The space was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and the relaxing hot tub. Honestly, the hot tub was even more soothing than an onsen we’ve experienced in Japan — especially with the surrounding sounds of birds and rustling trees. The full kitchen made it easy to cook, and we loved having dinners outside under the stars. The deck and garden felt like a private retreat — calm, lush, and peaceful. Nature’s sounds at night were magical. Adam was an amazing host — warm, responsive, and thoughtful. And his sweet dog and cat made us smile every time we saw them — they added a lovely, homely touch. We highly recommend this place to couples looking for a quiet, cozy escape on the Big Island. We’d love to return. Mahalo!

It's the house of my dream. Everything in the house is taken really good care of by Priscilla and Rob, and the house is definitely one of my favorite places in Kona. I really hope that I can come back soon, and I will bring you a small gift from China, Priscilla~~💜

Caryl was a really good host, communication was easy and she made sure we had a good stay. A big advantage is the extra gears available (snorkeling, beach towels, etc) and the garden which makes the stay even more pleasant. Would recommend this place.

We loved our stay! Waking up to have coffee and breakfast on the porch was a real highlight. The space had everything we could possibly need, was spotlessly clean, and we felt right at home. There were some great cafes in the area, as well as awesome snorkeling. We also loved hanging with Papaya the kitty! Would recommend this spot in a heartbeat.

Truly a lovely home, very spacious and the screened in Lanai was a great location for enjoying the views and ocean breeze.

We loved our stay! The house was very clean and we felt right at home. Other than the amazing views, the neighborhood was very peaceful. We loved Pebbles Beach, just a short drive from the house. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time staying here. The view from the bedroom was beautiful, pictures don’t do it justice. I’ve stayed at a lot of airbnbs, and several others in Kona and this one is definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite. We loved it so much I was gonna extend the stay unfortunately was unavailable this time. The hosts and ray were all friendly. Hope to stay again

Really appreciated Joseph’s fast response in offering for us to check in early!

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

First thing I must say is that the beds were very comfortable! The location was great, not too far from Kona activity but far enough away you can feel like you’re in the quiet country. (Minus the charming frogs at night but it was cool enough to shut the windows). Excellent view of the ocean. Having laundry was so helpful. We had 5 people there. A little tight… perfect for 4 but it was fine for 5 using pull out couch. Would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay in Kukuihaele. The proximity to both Honokaa and Waimea was so convenient. Loved the local restaurants that were recommended by the host and found a few gems of our own. The local fruit stands were a great place to stop on our way back to the house after a day of adventure. We walked to the Waipio Valley Lookout from the house and enjoyed a scenic drive to Hilo for the Sunday Farmers Market, while stopping at some waterfalls along the way. Avocados from the tree on site were large and delicious. We did experience some evening noise from the neighbors’ dogs barking our first few nights, which was unfortunate, but that resolved by the middle of our stay. The sounds of the birds and frogs singing and the cattle lowing were a welcome reminder of the nature that surrounded us. Not to mention the ocean view was fantastic! Overall we loved our time here, falling in love with the area and the old Hawaii feel of it. Thanks!

Tarek was awesome. Super responsive and very kind. 10/10 recommend his place to stay at when visiting Big Island. House was packed with much needed living amenities (paper towels, board games, laundry facilities). Loved the living conditions I got the chance to stay in!

We stayed in three different Airbnb’s on the Big Island. This was our favorite.

Really enjoyed our stay. It was kinda far from all the attractions but it was worth it with all the amenities

This place is exactly as described, quiet, clean, and close to everything in Waikōloa beach. The decor was nice and AC was wonderful. We enjoyed the pool and the kitchen was stocked with all essentials for cooking! One thing cleaning-wise that would have been better is if the floor was mopped… walking around with bare feet, our feet got dirty quickly. However we will definitely be back to visit Carlos’ place.

Lovely condo in a spectacular setting. Kitchen had everything we needed, bed was comfortable and the condo was spacious. We spent most of our time outdoors having adventures, and the condo was a very comfy home base. It was very convenient having the Tropics restaurant within walking distance. We also managed to catch a gorgeous and tasty sunset dinner at the Lava Lava Club.

place was beautiful! spacious and very well kept. location was great just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the strip down the road. host was responsive and helpful!

We stayed here to be close to the IM 70.3 Hawaii. This was such a great location for that (very short drive to the venue). There are good restaurants right near by and the area with the condo is very quiet. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and everything was beautiful inside.

Ineke’s place was great! It was very clean and well maintained when I arrived. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. She also stocked the place with plenty of beach gear and some basic household supplies which made it super easy and convenient for us! Ineke was also very responsive and easy to reach. The location is amazing as well! There is a market right across the street (great for walking to get coffee/breakfast in the morning) and it’s a short drive into downtown. Highly would recommend!

Andy’s condo was excellent. We had the best time staying a week for our anniversary. I took a lot of time looking at other options and reading reviews…we are so glad we chose to stay here. The property was super clean, super quiet, and gave us plenty of room to stretch out. Feels like home. The beach club access is so nice. Shaded parking, covered beach chairs, and not very crowded. The snorkeling around the point to the south of the beach is amazing. We saw turtles every day and even a spotted eagle ray. So fun! As some of the reviews stated…it’s one of the nicest places to stay on the Big Island. We will be back again! Thanks Andy!
