Vacation rentals with a pool in Puako

Mollie’s place was perfect for our family of four coming from Maine. It was our first trip to Hawaii and it was perfect! We left a few days of relaxing at the house so the kids could swim and adjust to the time difference. The house was as comfortable as our home and was perfect for our family.

House was clean on arrival and had pretty much whatever we needed. We cooked on the grill most nights and enjoyed our time out in the “Lanai Vortex”. Great neighborhood, centrally located whether you wanted to explore to the north or the south.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already suggested her place to my siblings for their next Kona visit.

This house was the perfect property for our extended family of 9 to enjoy Kona and the surrounding areas! The location is great with a short, easy drive to both the airport and downtown and the property/yard is lovely. We found the home to be very comfortable and well stocked. The kids loved having the a little pool to themselves after a day at the beach and it was so nice that it was a bit cooler up on the hill in the evenings. The only thing I’d note is that there are several VERY vocal roosters in the vicinity. (This would be hard to avoid anywhere in Hawaii though I imagine!) If you are hoping to sleep in or are sensitive to noises, bring ear plugs or put on some white noise. We all adjusted to it quickly :) Thanks so much for hosting us Kim!

We were a family of 4 travelling for several months from Australia - this was one of our favourite Airbnb’s of the trip. The back garden was absolutely beautiful and super relaxing. We saw all types of birds while reading in the backyard. Having seen the hideous Kona we were so happy we booked away from the grime and noise and ended up in this lovely comfortable home - very near to plenty of stores and very well equipped for all our in house cooking. We would happily have stayed longer had we not pre-booked other plans. Thank you - would highly recommend!

I recently stayed at Justin’s Airbnb in Kona, and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, Justin was incredibly welcoming, offering great recommendations for local activities and making sure we had everything we needed. The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a perfect island retreat. One of the highlights was the pool – it was pristine and provided the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the island. The outdoor area was fantastic, with plenty of seating, and we enjoyed several evenings watching the sunset from the lanai. The location in Kona was ideal, with easy access to beaches, dining, and shopping, yet the house felt like a private oasis. We felt truly at home during our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I highly recommend Justin’s place for anyone looking to experience the best of Kona in comfort and style!

We had a wonderful stay at Nicki’s Airbnb in Kona! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do, yet peaceful enough to truly relax. The views were absolutely stunning, making it a great spot to unwind in the mornings and evenings. The home was spotless upon arrival, and it was clear that cleanliness is a priority. Nicki was a very responsive and helpful host, making check-in and communication smooth and easy. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we would definitely book again!

The Pagoda House is a destination in itself! We explored the island from there, but also spent time just hanging out in the garden and pool. GORGEOUS! It was well appointed for our extended family gathering.

A beautiful clean condo. Great location. Loved the pool and hot tub and the ocean views from the grounds

Brenda's condo was exactly as advertised. It was clean, quiet, had all the cooking appliances, utensils etc needed, free parking, a lovely deck and a closet full of beach stuff (chairs, flippers, snorkels, umbrellas etc). They have lots of linens, towels and beach towels as well. The night time lights in the pool area were very pretty to watch, and the sound of the ocean was wonderful. It was in walking distance to a few small stores, beaches etc, but not really to the main section with restaurants, costco, souvenirs etc. This was not a problem since we had a car. I would suggest renting a car if you want to see the sights of the Big Island. Brenda allowed us a late checkout and was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return.

We had a great stay here. Absolutely beautiful view from the unit over the ocean with gorgeous sunsets. Easy, short drive to Kona for restaurants and other shopping needs. Well equipped kitchen and easy parking. Only minor issue was there were no shades to block the late afternoon sun in the unit. We'd happily stay here again.

Everything was perfect with our stay. The local community at this resort is really special. Warm, inviting, and fun for everyone. We especially love sunset and the salt ocean side pool.

We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to rent again from Marco. The condo was well equipped for cooking and relaxing. There were only two of us so we couldn't comment on the sleeper sofa. The washer and dryer were convenient and worked well. Marco always responded quickly to our questions and concerns. The views out to the pool and shore were excellent.

Leonard was very responsive. The place was well stocked and in a great location. The view was unbeatable! Waking up to whales and dolphins was quite a treat. Thanks Leonard!

We had a great time at Ineke’s place. The bed was really comfortable, the AC worked well and the view and sound of the surf were spectacular. The information and water gear they supplied really came in handy, too. We enjoyed their coffee in the mornings, as well. We would be happy to stay there again, should we return to the Big Island.

It is worth renting from an owner that is available and responsive! Tiffany was very great to deal with and very helpful. The place is very clean and very close to downtown. There are bikes for rent across the street. The seaside pool is amazing and relaxing with the waves crashing into the rocks just feet away. Thank you for the last minute stay!
