Family-friendly holiday rentals in Puako

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!

I can’t recommend Seth’s place highly enough. Everything exceeded our expectations. The condo was extremely clean, and so beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we could have needed. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and soap/shampoo and conditioner which is so appreciated. The beds were so comfortable! Seth was a very gracious host, keeping a line of communication open our entire stay, and making sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for somewhere to book and think this place might be for you, quit looking and book this place now!!! Everything about it is perfect! Our only regret is not having more time there.

This is a beautiful and immaculate home. Very spacious and accommodated our whole family for my son’s 30 birthday, I would come again!

It is a very peaceful and home-like place with beautiful views. It was a nice place to stay on the Big Island.

nice airbnb with plenty of amenities and "goodies", I mean, beach chairs, noodle floater, yeti cooler, beach chairs, boards, outside grill, TVs, etc... very spacious rooms, living room and well stock kitchen. the only downside, was that there were a few pest but I am sure it is just the island/weather, because the airbnb was very clean...

We had a wonderful time staying at Nancy's place! It served as a peaceful base of operations. We were there on our honeymoon and it was completely stress-free. The condo is comfortable with an unbelievable view from the lanai. It was very clean, there were clear instructions for everything, and we had everything we needed. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay at Caroline and Scott’s cabin—it felt like we were staying in a botanical garden! The property is absolutely beautiful. We especially enjoyed the expansive front porch, the wood-burning stove, and the hot tub surrounded by nature. We’re already talking about another trip to the Big Island and staying with Caroline and Scott again. They were incredibly friendly hosts, and their rentals (both the cabin and the cottage) are conveniently located near everything the Kona Coast has to offer. We think their vacation rental is a great value!

This was an exceptional place to stay. We really enjoyed the four lanais and how they look to the east, so we could see Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. It was beautiful to sit out there and sip coffee while waiting for the sunrise. The place was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, so we chose to stay home and cook some of our meals rather than going out. We definitely would stay here again!

Highly recommend! The house is clean, well furnished, is located in a great place, and has a great lanai with an awesome view. My family with two teenage kids spent a week here and loved it. Host was friendly and responsive. We hope to be able to come back soon.

Wonderful stay, very accommodating even for short trips!

We adored staying in the Treetop getaway - I wish we could have stayed longer! The space was well-organized, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the outdoor seating was so lovely in the mornings! The beach gear that we borrowed for the day was amazing!! We felt so cozy and relaxed in this spot -- and the hosts are super friendly.

Genuinely fantastic. The location up on the mountan was lush, cool, and beautiful. It was everything we wanted. The house was large, open and comfortable. We loved listening to the coqui frogs at night. Really, I cannot overstate how absolutely lovely and peaceful the property is. There is a fantastic coffee plantation just around the corner, and we also enjoyed hiking the forest reserve trail nearby. Food, shopping, etc... is not actually far away either. The house is the perfect sweet spot. Coming back to the coolness of the mountain after the warmth of the coast every day was amazing.

Our stay was absolutely delightful, largely thanks to the breathtaking views and convenient location. Being so close to both the airport and the beach made travel and leisure incredibly easy. The comfortable bed ensured restful nights, and the host's warm welcome truly made us feel at home. We were especially touched by her generosity in providing fresh eggs and fruit. A highlight of our trip was undoubtedly relaxing in the hot tub and soaking in the stunning scenery.

Our family of five adults and two toddlers had a wonderful week staying in Susan’s beautiful home. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and many lovely places to gather. The kids loved the big yard and we all enjoyed the snorkeling gear, sand toys, coolers, and other beach amenities so kindly provided. We cooked meals in the large kitchen, played games, sat on the wrap around porch to watch the sunset over the ocean. We also really enjoyed the small village of Holualoa just up the road with its many galleries, charming shops, pop up bakery and coffee stand. There’s even a nice restaurant for drinks and or dinner.

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!

Gorgeous sunrise views of Mauna Kea and a peaceful secluded setting!

This was my second stay here. Condo has been updated beautifully since my last stay in 2022. Stephen and Amber go above and beyond with extra touches. Felt very at home!

This is our second time staying in StacyLynns condo! It did not disappoint! Great furnishings, clean and the kitchen was beautiful. The pool was right across the parking lot. Pool area was gorgeous. Stacy was so easy to communicate with too! Each day we visited a new beach! The location cannot be beat! Walkable to restaurants,shops and the sunset onthe beach. Very comfy accommodations and a relaxing balcony to enjoy dinner or just watch the palm trees swaying!So much to do on this breathtaking island!

It’s a lovely spot. Very pleasant and not too far from the beach.

We know the Mauna Lani area better than most, having owned a place there for about 15 years in total. This unit is in an ideal location, competitively priced, and well managed. We had a great week, and were able to easily walk to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, Pauoa Beach, and golf. If you're looking at Waikoloa, skip that and come here. The experience is night and day. Great hosts; seamless checking in and out.

good location right next to a good shopping complex with reasonable pricing

Jan and Cami were very nice to deal with. Their condo is in an amazing location. They thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. Very well organized space. It was clean and inviting.

Although this is a unit right below the host’s home, it fell very private and peaceful. The ground and view are amazing.

The house, which is very spacious, is located in a quiet residential neighborhood (the only real noise is from the many birds), which is five minutes from a grocery store and some restaurants in Waikoloa Village, and there are many restaurants, beaches, and things to do within a 30-minute drive; downtown Kailua-Kona is 45 minutes, and Volcanoes National Park and Hilo are about two hours (but easy driving everywhere, except for typical urban traffic congestion in Kona). The landscaping is amazing, and the backyard with a swimming pool is extremely private. It is also west-facing, so you get gorgeous sunsets with a slight ocean view (the property is inland). The AC units (for which there is an extra charge) are only in the bedrooms, so the house gets stuffy during the day, but cools off quickly in the evening. We had one minor maintenance issue, but the host, Andy, was responsive and addressed it quickly. We would definitely return if we have a future trip to the Big Island.
