Quote from a guest: "We had a WONDERFUL stay at the Paniau Surf Puako! The home is an absolutely perfect location for a stay on the Kona coast of the Big Island. We couldn't believe that we were directly across the street from the best beach access in Puako! The waves were amazing, and the snorkeling was fantastic. The number of turtles was astonishing; we began taking evening walks to admire them at sunset. The house exceeded my expectations—it was fully stocked with beach essentials and beautifully decorated. With great kitchen facilities and a splendid outdoor shower, it offered comfortable accommodations for all of us!"

Summary: We loved this stay so much. This is a simple, clean, private house at the end of a beach road. Our whole family (2 adults & 2 teens/tweens) enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood, and the private yard with hammocks between the palm trees. The house has great amenities we didn't know we needed, including beach chairs, aqua socks, coolers for packing lunches, a 2 gallon water thermos that we used every day to stay hydrated on all our day trips on the road!, a hose for washing sand off your feet and an outdoor shower. Each evening we crossed the quiet street to the surfing beach to watch the sunset and surfers. (Hot tip, it's not a swimming or snorkeling beach. Optimal for surfers only.) You can also walk 10min along the beach to the trailhead for the Puako petroglyphs, and/or continue along the beach to the Mauna Lani resort area. Just a note, the snorkel masks in the house all seem to leak! We had a great time on an organized snorkel tour instead.
