Can’t beat the location - quiet, private and close to great beaches. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Cottage was well-stocked and exceptionally clean. We loved our stay!
The vintage beach cottage was immaculately clean and had all updated kitchen appliances. The covered lanai and outdoor utility sink were great spots for us to wash and dry our wetsuits. We loved the outdoor shower. Lots of hot water! The cottage is spacious, and has one bedroom with a comfortable bed and another queen sized bed off of the living area. Lots of livable interior space. The front lanai is lovely and private for sitting outside.
Absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. The host and hostess were especially gracious and allowed us to visit with their pet pigs. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Great location, amazing hosts. Several beach access spots within a 5 min walk. House is great, plus you have a lanai in back and front deck is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Enjoy
Everything about the house and hosts were just the best of the many places we've stayed. We didn't want to leave. They do a great job, and the kitchen is great for cooking, the location beautiful, and on and on. It is a special placeWe are seniors, and it was a comfortable place for us, and the ocean and wildlife were magical there. .
This cottage and it’s location is perfect in every way. We love the quiet, peaceful location and the beauty surrounding it, the ability to walk to wonderful snorkeling locations, and the peaceful community of Puako. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable annd Dave annd Kim have provided every convenience needed. We have made many visits and it is always spotlessly clean. Dave and Kim are wonderful hosts and we hope to be back again!
Puako Vintage Cottage is a wonderful place to stay!
Aloha, Excellent location; the house is stocked with helpful items for vacationers--beach towels, beach chairs, coolers...the lanai and deck are delightful and the outdoor shower is exceptional. David and Kim are delightful people. I hope to visit again soon. Mahalo Kim and David.
Charming and comfortable cottage in a great location. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the island has to offer. Lush tropical yard all to yourself, and the house has everything you’ll need for an amazing vacation!! Hosts are so wonderful…would highly recommend!
We have stayed at a few different places in Puako and we found our favorite for sure. We loved the layout of the cottage and it was very clean and secluded. It was stocked with everything that we needed and enjoyed our stay. David was an excellent host and was there to help whenever we needed it. We plan on returning next year to stay here again.
Amazing location walking distance to several public beach accesses. 10 mn from beautiful Hapuna Beach. Cottage has 3 great areas. Front deck, inside the cottage and great back patio.
Affordable Pauko and Everything you need for a nice stay
Spent 10 days here and it was wonderful. Had everything we needed to relax at the house and enjoy a true Hawaiian neighborhood. Very close to the beach public access, so less than 5 min walk. Neighbors are very welcoming. Thanks David for all the great recommendations and mangos. Mike T
Fantastic location. attentive and respectful owner. Cozy home with full amenities. Great outdoor shower. Morning coffee on the lanai listening to bird life was amazing.
We had an amazing stay here! It was exactly as advertised and even better. The cottage is charming and full of character, offering the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is ideal—peaceful, beautiful, and just steps away from the beach. We can't wait to come back the next time we're on the Big Island!
We live in Maui and visited the Big Island for a week of scuba diving and birdwatching. I wanted to stay a little off the beaten path and this cottage in Pauko was perfect. It was quiet and quaint, full of Hawaiiana and located directly across the street from the beach. We are so grateful that we discovered this little gem!
David is the perfect host, made you feel like the space was yours as much as it is his. Very well equipped, lanai was spacious and beyond comfortable. The outside shower is a must! Would stay here again without hesitation. Little little was a pleasure to meet!
