| If I could buy a house on Puako, this would be it. Beautiful quality of construction and decoration add to the obvious beauty of the surroundings. Thank you for allowing us to share this fabulous property. |

| My family and friends enjoyed a magical vacation at Hale Ohana. We are well traveled and very picky about our accommodations, and this property is one of the best we have experienced. Every detail is lovely and high quality, from the linens, to the cookware and appliances, and the furnishings. The sunsets on the lanai were wonderful, and we dined there every night. The pool is small, but perfect for dipping and cooling off. The house is very private and has a comfortable elegance to it. Mary Fox was very accommodating and greeted us and made herself available for any request. We plan on returning as often as possible! Many thanks to the owners for sharing their incredible home with us.-Tammy & Lyle, Seattle, WA |

| We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Hale Ohana in early January. Whether it was walking along the tidal pools, watching sea turtles feeding below the sea wall, snorkeling or just plain lazing around on the lanai it was all very relaxing. The accommodations were ideal, with plenty of room for all (5) of us and there are many nearby restaurants and stores if we needed to get anything. Dining on the lanai in the evening is unforgettable and was something we did often during our stay. |

| After looking at hundreds of homes, I selected this home. If you want perfectly quiet, totally private, regal accomodations with gourmet kitchen, then this is your place. Just over the ocean front retaining wall is a nature preserve where we observed turtles and other wild life. Don't miss the Kona Farmers Market (Wed-Sun) for papayas 5 for $1. |

| Our party stayed the week of Labor Day 2008. We had a wonderful stay, the house was perfect, and the location was very close to everything we needed (beach, golf, resort shopping/restaurants). We even saw several Sea Turtles from the sea wall in the back yard. Mary Fox was a pleasure to deal with. Mahalo! |

| Wow, what a great week. The house was very peaceful, each room (with it's own patio access) was a private oasis, the lanai is perfect and the pool is just the right size. We very much enjoyed our stay and will come again. With two families, we worried about the space, but it worked very well. Also, of note, the folks from the General Store (short walk/drive up the street) were amazing hosts as well. A great, "get-away-from-it-all" experience. The neighborhood is Not commercial and it felt like home for all of us. |

We spent a wonderful week at beautiful Hale Ohana this past May as we celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary. We've taken many great trips, but none better than this. We rarely ventured away from "home" the entire week, except to "Lau's" fresh seafood market to pick up the daily catch for dinner.
Hale Ohana really is Paradise found...
exquisitely maintained grounds,magnificent snorkeling (practically in your own backyard) and the most Spectacular Sunsets you'll ever see from the Lanai. THANK YOU Mary for all your help prior to our arrival and during our stay. We look forward to returning....

| This vacation home exceeded all of our expectations. Beautifully designed, impeccably maintained and utterly livable, down to the quality appliances, linens, kitchenware and furnishings. Our family (ages 4 to 63)agreed that it was the perfect place to vacation in Hawaii. Proximity to exquisite beaches, immediate access to outstanding snorkeling, and the small, tropical village feel of Puako all blended to create a wonderful experience. The owner's excellent taste, and 2 Payapas attentive management style combine to assure a high quality vacation home. |

| Being familiar with Kona, right off the plane, we got our rental car, zipped to Costco, and headed to paradise. We were met at this fabulous home by Mary, who guided us thru thee simple operations of ventilation, Kitchen, appliances, towels,etc.and began living our days as if a native. The home was so well appointed, every kitchen gadget, every nicety to make our visit feel totally private with every comfort of our own home surrounded by the special beauty and sea life and sunsets so special on Puako!! The home, the pool,the views are magical and we can't wait to return. |

This is a beautiful property. A view to die for! Many times we were able to sit on the sea wall and watch turtles, rays and fish swim by. Mary does a good job of maintaining the property and is very accessible to any needs that may arise. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone that is thinking of staying in Puako. Can't wait to return! |
