With year-round sun gracing the sunny Kohala Coast, you will enjoy endless summer vibes in one of the sunniest locales throughout Hawaii.

This unique retreat not only boasts direct access to the beautiful blue waters of the Pacific Ocean but also frames breathtaking views of Haleakala, Maui's highest peak, from its gorgeous lanais and while lounging by the heated infinity pool.

Hale Nana Kohola stands out as one of the few true beachfront vacation rentals here, allowing guests to experience the beauty of Puako Beach effortlessly.

While enjoying the expansive 360° infinity edge pool, you can explore the nearby coral reefs, perfect for kayaking, snorkeling, and stand-up paddling—all equipment included during your stay! Every aspect of this property is designed to provide you with comfort and connection to nature.

With over 7000 square feet of architectural marvel, Hale Nana Kohola features multiple lanais for relaxation, two master suites, and two guest bedrooms with baths. The open living and dining area, alongside a gourmet kitchen with cathedral ceilings, flows seamlessly into a vast covered lanai adjacent to the impressive pool. For entertainment, enjoy movie nights in the media room equipped with luxury seating and a full bath, which can also accommodate overflow guests via a Queen Murphy bed.

Each bedroom along with the living and media rooms are outfitted with large flat-screen TVs and advanced audio systems to enhance your viewing experience. Lush landscaping creates a serene palm oasis on the ocean side, ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach.

As one of the select properties in Puako with sandy beaches right at your doorstep, Hale Nana Kohola also includes safe ‘lava reef pools’ for children to play in. Known historically as “Queens Bath,” these natural pools offer a window into the legacy of ancient Hawaiian traditions.

The crowning feature of this magnificent rental is the third-story “whale watch” retreat, providing panoramic views from sunrise over Mauna Kea to stunning sunsets across the Pacific Ocean. One cherished ritual here is watching the sunset from chairs placed directly on the beach—an experience that never fails to amaze.
