Puako House | Historic Bungalow On Idyllic White Sand Beach w/Great Snorkeling!

3 Bedroom House in Puako, Kamuela

The “Lalamilo Beach Bungalow” has been a labor of love for the owners, who have taken a personal interest in the restoration and preservation of this historic,1930’s beach front home. Originally accessible only by boat (there were no roads to the beach) the owners vacationed there with just their family and friends. Now a vacation rental, the three bedroom house is available to beach lovers from around the world. Nestled against a gradually sloping hillside and overlooking Waialea Bay, one of the Big Island’s few white sandy beaches, the house epitomizes Old Hawaii with its simple, open architecture that invites ocean breezes and frames spectacular sunsets. Original hardwood floors and Ohia (a native Hawaiian wood) counter tops add to the charm as do the authentic Hawaiian furnishings and artwork throughout.
The close proximity of the house to the water make this an ideal spot to snorkel, swim, sunbathe, surf, dive and whale watch. From the kitchen, dining and living areas, you can watch children playing in the water and building sand castles on the beach. Designed for three couples or a family, the house sleeps up to 6 adults. Two of the bedrooms can made up into either king or twin beds while the third offers a double bed. All three bedrooms open out onto a lanai and have ocean views.
Please note: As desirable as this property may be due to it's charm and remarkable location, the Bungalow is not a hotel. We keep the property as clean and secure as possible but please understand that this home is located on the beach in a natural, tropical environment. While the house is fully screened, and we maintain a regular pest control service, guests may encounter insects. If you love the sounds of the ocean and the beauty of the great outdoors, you won't find any place better! But if you prefer a climate-controlled, manicured, hotel-like environment, this may not be the place for you.

Summary: Overall a fabulous stay! If you are a beach bum and escaping town is your goal, this is the place to stay. Leilani was great to work with via VRBO. Bungalow is very well stocked with kitchen supplies and beach/water equipment. Laundry machines were top notch. Plenty of towels and comfy beds. Wifi worked very well - even on the lanai. Did not use the tv so can't speak to that.I know bugs are hard to control in this climate, so no shade on property management, but future renters should be aware they will encounter bugs, especially in the bathroom.Depending on time of year, do not expect to have the beach alone except when the park is closed and the neighbors aren't out. During open hours, the public beach can get busy, but most were respectful of the lanai being private, and we felt it added to the atmosphere, like a chill neighborhood gathering.The ocean is LOUD. We found it to be white noise, but felt I should mention it - it is persistent through the entire house including the bedrooms. Make sure your rental car has clearance. Gravel road from park/st entrance to bungalow.Overall, great combo of being a laid back cabin, but with all the necessary modern amenities.
