Amazing cottage - we loved just about everything about it. So incredible to wake up in the morning to the cool breeze, sounds of the ocean at your door, and a turtle or two lounging on the lava rocks. What we really enjoyed was the location and Puako - awesome for morning and evening walks, friendly people, amazing sunsets, exploring tidepools, and central location to access Big Island activities. Stunning sandy beaches and great snorkeling close by. If you're looking for a low key, non-resort place to put your feet up, this is it. We loved this place and will be back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ebce54db-0457-4803-920b-ecb6ee52b7e1-1757629552185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kristin W.

Bathroom is nice, kitchen well appointed and there are at least 4 places to sit in the studio itself, not simply the comfy bed. We are in our 70s so we had some difficulties getting luggage up and down the 15 entry stairs. We also fought with the sliding doors leading to the lanai. All in all, we had a lovely stay. There's a channel in the water within walking distance that will take you beyond the lava rocks to the reef. Very nice! ##### Linda H.

We stayed at the Hale Aloha in late September and had the most magical experience. The beach home was perfect for my son and I, it came stocked with everything we could need and the night breeze was just perfect. My absolute favorite part about our time on the Big Island was the snorkeling literally in the back yard!! The Mauna Kea and Hapuna resort were close for some fancy eats and the grocery store was a short drive and carried whatever we needed for the cabin. It was so hard to leave and I hope we are able to stay there again soon! Thank you for sharing your peice of paradise with us!! ##### Jenny H.

The kitchen is efficient, the bathroom good, the California king bed is awesome - especially for someone 6’5”. But to wake up every morning to the sound of the sea and have the ocean view all day is hard to beat. The best is the sunset with a margarita. Aloha!! ##### Will S.

If you like a lot of amenities, or room service, or maid service… This isn’t for you. But if you love the old school Hawaiian vibe, are looking for a place to immerse yourself in the person you are with, this is the perfect place to get lost in that love. We will be back! Pure magic! ##### Tiffany P.

The cottage is well equipped despite its small kitchen; we slept well, and Jay responded "instantly" to all our requests for assistance. We love Puako for its safe walks, nearby amenities and excellent location for exploring Kohala, so we'd love to return. ##### David B.

Studio size for 1-2 people with full bathroom and well stocked tiny kitchen. Good bed but no couch. Lounging chairs for the deck. No cooktop but hotplate, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher. We used the BBQ most evenings. Gorgeous ocean view to soothe you to sleep at night. Amazing stars with the Milkyway overhead! Excellent snorkeling and diving and close to Beaches 69 and Hapuna. Would stay again. ##### Leslie B.

This cottage is our happy place. Stunning view of the ocean, always the sound of the surf, total privacy, a super comfortable bed, and a fantastic shower! It is a cottage so expect to enjoy barbecuing. The toaster oven, hot plate and microwave do the trick perfectly for everything else. As city people who can only see 16 stars on a good night - we are always awed but seeing the Milky Way every night. The property manager was instantly available for a small prob that we had and had with the BBQ and had it resolved in a flash. Can’t get better than that! ##### Don P.

Property manager Jay won the quickest response time award, hands-down, when we let him know that we needed decent beach chairs. The exterior of the house needs some maintenance – peeling paint, and a few spots on the deck that felt squishy, but nothing beats the views and waking up in bed to them. At the current rental rate, the house should be kept up well. Now, if we could only teach the 3 neighbor boys, who were on their first beachfront vacation, that not everything needs to be said in a scream – especially at 6 AM, and after dark! 🙄 ##### Megan H.
