Kamuela House | 'My Favorite Place on Earth'

Your Ultimate Getaway at My Favorite Place on Earth

Welcome to My Favorite Place on Earth, where your dreams of a perfect Hawaiian vacation become a reality. This charming beachfront bungalow is the quintessential tropical retreat for couples or families with children, making it an ideal choice for honeymooners seeking romance and adventure alike.

The house and private lanai showcase breathtaking views of the beach, ocean, and stunning year-round sunsets. Surrounded by vibrant gardens filled with native Hawaiian flora, including a dozen graceful coconut palms, you'll find tranquility in this beautiful setting. Start your mornings with coffee on your private lanai as you look out for migrating whales from December to March, or spot playful spinner dolphins visiting the nearby Marine Sanctuary.

Spend your days lounging in the hammock under the shade of the coconut palms or diving into one of Hawaii's best snorkeling and scuba spots, the Puako reef, located just steps from your door. For those looking to explore, an ocean access point is only a few yards down the beach to the south of Hale Malia. Kids will delight in hours of beachcombing and discovering tide pools along the shore. If you're weary of hauling gear to reach the beach, here, you are right on it.

This "classic Hawaiian beach house" features an interior design curated by Fine Design Interiors of Waimea and has been highlighted in West Hawaii Today. The living room proudly displays original art by Mayumi Oda, adding a touch of local culture to your experience.

When it comes to exploring the island, Puako is perfectly positioned for easy access to numerous attractions across the Big Island. You’ll find an array of beaches and resorts just 5 to 20 minutes away from Hale Malia. The closest public beaches include '69' Beach in Waialea Bay (a mere 5 minutes) and Hapuna Beach (10 minutes). Here’s a glimpse at some drive times to popular sights: City of Refuge (1 hr 45 min south), Captain Cook/Kealakekua Bay (1.5 hrs), Kailua Kona (30 min), Kona airport (25 min), Waimea (20 min), Hawi/ Waipio Valley (1 hr), and Hilo/Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Gardens (1 hr), along with Volcanoes Park (1.5 hrs).

Puako is renowned for having the highest number of sunny days and the lowest annual rainfall in all of Hawaii. Often, while it may be pouring rain on nearby beaches to the south, you can return to Puako to find clear skies and endless sunshine!
