Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful place to stay! Walking into the hotel and seeing the blue Pacific Ocean right in front of you was breathtaking. The hotel had gorgeous gardens all around the property. We enjoyed the complimentary snorkel equipment on the final day. The room service twice a day will definitely spoil you!"

2 bedroom home minutes to world class beaches, surf, scuba, snorkeling & golf!

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect spot to enjoy everything this area has to offer. Walking distance to the beach at Puako and a short hop to several others including Hapuna. The onsite laundry and beach supplies are a huge plus. It’s perfect for a couple or family of 4, it it would be a bit intimate for two adult couples. The kitchen is great and if I stayed again, I’d have had more on hand to cook in the evenings since the dining options in the area are limited. Good options, but just require more driving. This really is a fantastic spot if you’re looking for great beaches and snorkeling."

'My Favorite Place on Earth'

8/10 Good

"This is our second time staying on Puako Beach Drive; first time was in a bungalow further down the road, back in 2019. I absolutely loved the area and was excited to return. The cottage feels very Hawaiiana and was exactly as presented in the photos. Loved watching the sunsets from the lanai, exploring the lava rock tide pools during low tide, listening to the ocean waves, and looking for turtles, from a safe distance, of course! A few things to note:The kitchen is well-equipped with pots and pans, appliances, salad spinner, and so on, but no basic pantry items, not even salt or cooking oil.There are gaps between the windows and screens, which makes sense for an older property so close to the ocean, but it does mean there are critters. (I got a lot of mosquito bites; first time for me on the Big Island.)While hanging towels on the clothesline, I saw a mouse, which gave me a fright at first.The cottage was a splurge for us, and we"

Puako Beach + Sunsets. Feel the Sea Breeze, Hear Calming Surf. Steps to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for snorkeling or diving. Hapuna Beach was a hit for the kids! 2 hours to Kilauea and Hilo. No A/C. Fridge has been replaced with a larger one from the welcome video which is great! Grilling on the deck was great. Mosquitos were definitely an issue in mid-April - so plan ahead with bug spray and don't plan on eating on the porch ;)Puako area has been overrun by sea urchins unfortunately due to overfishing (more urchins per sq/m than anywhere else in the world - sad state of affairs for our coral reefs these days but that has nothing to do with the property ;)"

BEACHFRONT HOME 2 acres, Pool, Tennis, Volleyball. Like your own private resort!

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous home that suited our family’s needs from aged 3-88. Kitchen was expertly equipped, and we ended up cooking in every night! We used all of the sport courts, and well as the SUPs and bikes. Best of all- the outdoor spaces with pool, patios and a spectacular water front setting. "

Hui Pu: Beachfront Home at Waialea Bay w/ AC & Ocean View

10/10 Excellent

"This home, the property, the adjacent snorkeling cove made for a memorable and outstanding experience for our family reunion. So well stocked, comfortable beds, great outdoor showers, beach equipment. It would be tempting to never leave the area - but the wonderful Hawaii island needs to be explored. "
