WHALE'S TAIL - Spectacular ocean views! Beachfront in Magical Puako!

Guest Rating:

Sleeps 8, 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. No pets allowed.

Kamuela, Hawaii 96743 United States

Combine the sandy beach next to your back yard with the thoughtfully placed windows that give you excellent views from nearly every spot in the house—upstairs and down—and you’ll love the Whale’s Tail for your Hawaii vacation. Not only is the entire ocean-facing wall built with windows, but also an additional row of large clerestory windows above them ensures that the second- floor loft space has ocean and sunset views. The décor throughout the home echoes the beach, ocean, sky and mountain environment: clean white walls, sandy shades of upholstery, blue-gray cabinetry and tiles of sand and sea colors. Original, local artwork—even in the bathrooms—adds to your sense of place in this very special corner of paradise. This home is 'hosted', with the family's residence also on property but the layout was designed for maximum privacy for both homes.

    a guest from Chandler, AZ recommends this vacation rental

    This is a fabulous property, better than the pictures. It was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in. It’s a very isolated neighborhood. A nice clean, virtually private beach right out the back door, with nice tide pools for the little ones. We had a great week.

    Alan E from Kelowna, BC recommends this vacation rental

    Excellent home. This was the second time we have been to the property and we arrived with high expectations and were not disappointed! All the utensils and equipment in the house were well thought out. Location is one of the best on the island, quiet, great views, beach, safe and varied, snorkelling, whales and turtles. What more could you want? Will come back again!

    Jack B from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

    Whale Tails is a great house in a wonderful location. We enjoyed the beach access for snorkeling and lying around. Fabulous sunsets and star gazing. There is a great general store walking distance down the road and sometimes we were adventurous and would walk to the nearby beaches and resorts. We loved the place.

    a guest from Roseburg, Oregon recommends this vacation rental

    The property is an oasis. So amazing. Spent a week at a condo in kona that was tons of fun but busy. The following week was spent at whale's tail and I couldn't imagine a better experience. We basically just went out to eat once a day and cooked at the property the rest of the time. It had everything we needed. My wife described it the first night as heaven on earth. I hesitate to say so much as we will definitely be back. Such a calm little oasis. There's so much to do on the island but honestly just hanging on the property and the beach I'm not sure you would need to do anything else. Maybe not for everyone but if you're looking for an amazing place to just relax and unwind I'm not sure you could do better than this spot. We all loved it.

    Our second stay at Whale’s Tail was just as magical as our first. The house is so perfect for the location. So clean, comfortable and well stocked. The beds are comfortable. The management was very welcoming, receptive and easy to work with.

    The management team of Jenny and her husband, Matt and Robbie could not have been better, nicer or more professional. We had some things happen that were out of anyone’s control and all was handled so well

    Melissa B from Pinole, CA recommends this vacation rental

    We traveled to the Big Island with a family group to celebrate our parent's 50th anniversary. We love Puako and couldn't have picked a more beautiful home or accommodating rental agency. The house has three bedrooms with four beds and 3.5 baths. There is air conditioning available in every room (if needed). In addition to being beach-front at one of the only accessible entry swimming beaches in Puako, it was also very quiet, with lots of privacy from the nearby homes. We loved waking every morning for a dip in the ocean and walking out onto the volcanic tide pools for the best sunset view.

    The lanai was always shaded, and the loungers were super soft and luxurious -- five stars. We used the outdoor beach shower every day to rinse off. Plus, the gas grill worked great, and there was an extra propane tank. The beds were very comfortable, and the home was incredibly well stocked with beach chairs, towels, and everything you would need for the kitchen.

    I was thinking of something that would have improved the stay, which was very difficult. The one thing I'd recommend is adding hand-held shower sprayers in the showers. That is always a plus for a sandy beach.

    We wouldn't hesitate to rent again if we had a large group. And you really can't beat the service. Everyone we dealt with at the management company went the extra mile. We look forward to returning to Puako soon.
