All Oceanview bedrooms, Large Courtyard Pool. Stately and serene, THE HOME OF THE HULA MOON is one of the most beautiful contemporary oceanfront properties in PUAKO. Each bedroom has a perfect ocean view. Located near the end of the road, you will enjoy year-round sunsets and privacy. Puako has the best beach weather on the Big Island. We have stunning views of the Kohala Mountains, and of Maui. Our infinity lawn goes right to the ocean. There are wonderful tide pools to explore, and a small sandy beach to the left of our home. At high tide, you can snorkel in front of the house. We also have a large courtyard pool. There is lots of room for family and friends at this apx. 5000 sq. foot home right on the beach. We do not have Air Conditioning, but the large ceiling fans, and ocean breezes keep it very pleasant. I don't allow parties, weddings, workshops, receptions, etc. at the house. Please don't ask to be the exception. Looking at the photos, you will see that our home has a courtyard pool and a large infinity lawn to the ocean. There is no barrier between the house and the ocean, therefore, please note the layout of the property and then think about the people in your group, especially children, prior to booking this vacation rental. We have hosted many children, but they do require constant supervision. All vacation rentals in Hawaii must have a license and permit, and my permit is on display throughout the house per County of Hawaii laws. Please see my generic "for reference only" contract attached herein. You will need to sign your individual contract and waiver in order to finalize your booking at The Home of the Hula Moon. Once you book, I will email that contract to you. Back to the fun stuff. As you enter through the gates, lush tropical plantings enhance the large courtyard swimming pool and generous lanai. The pool is usually between 79 and 86 degrees depending on the season. The pool is less than 4 feet deep but it is fairly large and I am able to swim laps in it. Please keep all of the gates closed so that our resident flock of wild turkeys doesn't wander into the courtyard. HULA MOON is designed so that every room has a magnificent view of the ocean, and you will love the open and airy feeling of this large home which offers gracious living in a relaxed atmosphere. The two-story Great Room is very inviting. The wall of sliding glass doors can be pushed all of the way open and the locking screens can then slide into place. The large oceanside lanai has a dining table for 8 to 10 guests. The lanai also has comfy chairs for relaxing and a "punee" for lounging. There is a built-in bar, and a Weber grill just off the lanai. The small sandy beach just to the left of our home, and that is great for playing in the sand with the kids and we have a few buckets and toys in the guest garage. We have beach chairs and umbrellas and pool floats, but these floats etc. are just toys and not life-saving devices. And please don't take them to the ocean. From the lanai, you will enjoy watching the humpback whales in season, pods of spinner dolphins, and our resident green sea turtles. Please don't get within twelve feet of the turtles, they need their rest. The Puako reef offers some of the best snorkeling and walk-in scuba diving on the Big Island. Because our home is located between two beach access points, you will have very few people walking along the beach going past our house, because they will run into the seawall next door and have to turn around. We have four large bedrooms each with maximum privacy. The Kona and Kohala suites are on the main floor and both have stunning ocean views and doors that open onto the lanai. Each suite has been beautifully appointed with new King mattresses and new linens. Both have large bathrooms with a separate dressing area and a large "open air" (but enclosed shower) filled with tropical plants and flowers. The two spacious upstairs bedrooms have expansive ocean views and a private lanai that runs the length of the house. The Aloha suite has a new King bed and a new punee (Hawaiian twin bed) for relaxing. The Turtle suite has new Twin beds (that can be made into a KING Bed) and a daybed The Turtle suite is a great room choice for the kids, or for parents who want to sleep with their child. Of course, it is also perfect for for friends to share. Both upstairs bedrooms have bathrooms with large walk-in showers. There are no bathtubs in the house. Each bedroom has a TV set. There are 6 televisions with many premium cable channels throughout the house. We still have one DVD player, and we have a large selection of DVD movies in the Living room cabinets. There are ceiling fans, portable fans and louvered windows in every room. There is NO AIR CONDITIONING but if you leave the louvers open and the glass doors open with the screens in place, it remains cool and comfortable. Every bed has a blanket plus a quilt or comforter which guests often need at night. If you have business to attend to, we have several work stations. We have good wifi coverage on the property and it's the best that Spectrum has to offer. The internet is great for streaming and most work, but it’s not meant for realtime gaming or other low-latency tasks. Guests may not unplug the modem, the router or the sync modules which are there to increase coverage. If you do this, you may shut down the system and it will be down until my IT person can get to the home. He charges $195 per hour, so call me or your concierge before trying to "burp" the system, otherwise, expect a delay. The upstairs double office has a printer that you can use to make copies. There is paper and spare ink in the drawer. There is also another punee (Hawaiian lounging bed) up there for relaxing. This can sleep an adult or teen if someone needs to sleep separately, but let us know well in advance if this is anticipated, so that we can make it up properly. Please note, you may NOT take the mattresses off the beds and move them into different parts of the home or outdoors. And please do not move the indoor chairs outdoors, or vice versa. The floors and decks can scratch if you are dragging furniture around. This is a shoe free home. Please leave your street shoes outside on the lanai. If you don't like walking barefoot indoors, please bring a pair of house slippers. We observe this Hawaiian tradition of removing your shoes before entering. Mahalo for your consideration. In the bathrooms, we provide hand soap and bar soap for our guests, but we do not provide shampoo or conditioner so please bring your own. Extra housekeeping, in-home massage, kayak rentals, catering and more can be arranged locally so please ask our concierge. We will do our best to give you some options so that you can make the arrangements for your perfect Puako experience! HULA MOON is a welcoming home where visitors can feel like a local. Just follow our simple guidelines, and you will become part of our ohana of happy guests. HULA MOON is professionally managed by the owner and her staff. This is our second home and our only vacation rental property, and it shows in our attention to details. We want you to respect and love Hula Moon the way that we do and enjoy all that Puako and Big Island have to offer. This property is compliant with Hawaii Tax Act 326. We collect and pay our Hawaii GET and TAT taxes. Our tax ID numbers are: W25465279-01. GE 152-401-5104-01. Note: The County of Hawaii plans to increase the "hotel/rental" taxes by about 2% on 1/1/26. If you book in 2025 for a future rental, the tax you pay will go up. The nightly rate remains the same. But we do have to charge you whatever the current tax rate is on the rental. That will be shown as an additional fee on your payment schedule. Please include your Phone Number, when making an inquiry. This is very important to us as we cannot really respond to you without it. We look forward to hosting you and hope to make your vacation a special one. Welcome to the HOME OF THE HULA MOON in lovely Puako.
