Kamuela House | OCEANFRONT! Cottage is located on a beautiful sandy beach!

Experience the Charm of OCEANFRONT! Cottage on a Stunning Sandy Beach

Welcome to Hale Alaula, which translates to House of the Sunset Glow, where you can enjoy an idyllic stay right on a beautiful sandy beach in Puako, Hawaii. This renovated cottage features modern furnishings and top-notch appliances that make it a perfect getaway.

The master bedroom boasts a luxurious king-size bed along with its own half bathroom and a unique outdoor shower surrounded by bamboo. Imagine stepping out from your bedroom for a refreshing rinse after a day of sun and surf. A full bathroom is conveniently located next to the living area, which includes two comfortable punees (traditional Hawaiian day beds), ideal for accommodating children or extra guests.

Wake up to breathtaking views of the morning glow and unwind at night while watching spectacular sunsets over the ocean. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including an oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. From the kitchen, step onto the lanai where you can savor meals at a new outdoor dining table, all while taking in the serene coastal atmosphere.

The beach adjacent to Hale Alaula is a hidden gem, providing ample privacy as it is distanced from major access points. Here, you can collect stunning coral pieces washed ashore and enjoy quiet moments by the sea. Just a short stroll away, you'll find easy access to some of Hawaii's best snorkeling spots, where you can dive into warm waters brimming with vibrant marine life. Explore undersea arches that are perfect for swimming around, and keep your eyes peeled for various species of fish, starfish, eels, and even rays. If you're lucky, you might spot dolphins passing by or hear humpback whales singing beneath the waves during their migratory season.

Famous for its rich marine ecosystem, Puako is home to an abundance of sea turtles. Just north of Hale Alaula lies the "turtle cleaning station," where yellow tang fish help these gentle creatures remove algae from their shells. Enjoy leisurely walks along the shore, and you’re sure to encounter turtles basking in the shallows or sunbathing on the sand.

Hale Alaula offers the perfect Hawaiian retreat, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the island while discovering the remarkable wonders both above and below the water.

Summary: We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, house was super well equipped. We never go out for dinner when we are in Hawaii so a well set up kitchen and grill are very important for us. Breakfast every morning with the sound of the surf as the sun rose over Mauna Kea and Maui emerged from the mist, and dinner outside every night as the last glow disappeared. We've been renting oceanfront houses in Puako since 2012 and this is one of the best.
