| We had a very enjoyable holiday stay with Duke and Marion. The outdoor space was so enjoyable that we barely spent anytime in the apartment. We will be coming back. |

| My family and I have stayed at this great beach house several times in the last few years. A few times it was in the early fall and once in the spring. Each time was so relaxing and peaceful. We will definitely be back for another visit. The owners are very easy to communicate with. My kids (3 and 5 yrs old) constantly ask "When are going back to the Beach House?" The house is very clean and welcoming. It was amazing having the ocean as a backyard. The sunsets are out of this world beautiful!!! |

| We can't say enough about how special this place & the owners were. The whale watching from our lanai was spectacular as well as checking out the turtles while they sunned on the rocks. We found ourselves just a couple of miles from the best beaches in Hawaii(Hapuna, Waialea, Spencer). Duke & Mariam were eager to help to make the most of our vacation. The studio was much bigger than I expected and very clean. If you want to relax in the privacy of your own place, while soaking in the unique ecosystem of the Big Island this is the place to stay. |

What an incredible place! We loved every minute of
our stay - and still regret having arranged going to
another island afterwards. We could have stayed
for a very long time. This must be one of the most
beautiful spots in the world. We sat on the beach
looking at the ocean, scouting for whales all day
long. Had no desire to do anything else. The peace
and serenity was exactly what we needed. Thanks
Duke and Miriam! We shall return! |

| Thank you Duke for providing our family with the perfect Hawaiian vacation spot. Over the years we have stayed at hotels, houses, and timeshares on the different islands, but your little low-key piece of paradise was by far the most special. Can't wait to return.. Mahalo |

| Duke and Miriam are fantastic hosts. Their rental units offer a spectacular view of the ocean with plenty of whale sightings from a private and quiet surrounding. We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxing vacation in a private environment. Gary and Susan Coleman |

We had a wonderful time staying at the beach house. There were lots of Turtles and Whales jumping . The sunset was just Beautiful. We were right on the beach. We left a big hotel in Kona to go there. It was soooo much nicer.
Duke and his family were very nice and took care of any need we had.
Thanks again for sharing your Beautiful home on the Beach with us. we will be back.

| We loved our stay in Puako on the Big Island of Hawaii. The water out our door step made snorkeling easy for us and our two children. The hosts greeted us with true hawaiian style, generous & warm hearted they provided everything we might have needed. The fishing was great! Whale watching was a treat for the whole family. We will be back in the future to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and the great surf. Thank you!!! |

One of our favorite family outing is a weekend at the Puako Beach House. We live in Hilo and with the rising airfares, it's no longer affordable to travel to the outer island with a family of four. Instead, we find it much more affordable and just as fun to travel to Puako for the weekend. The Puako beach house comes with everything you need in a home. It's spacious, clean and right on the oceanfront! All we need to pack is our food and drinks and we can relax and enjoy the entire weekend. Our children love the white sandy beach and many outdoor activities available at this property and surrounding area. My daughter loves watching the sea turtles swimming nearby or resting on the rocks. The sunset is beautiful! My 15 year-old son recently celebrated his birthday at the beach house and invited many friends and family. Everyone was more than comfortable and we all had a great time. It was a beautiful weekend and the boys decided to sleep on the beach with lounge chairs, surrounding the campfire they built. The stars were out and the beautiful smell of the ocean and sound of the waves made for a perfect night. The weekend ended much too quickly for my son and his friends. We will definitely be back to this Puako Beach House and will recommend this rental to all of our friends and family.

Great place, great hosts. The apartment is huge,
rambling, perfect for a family with kids; the studio
nice and cozy with a knockout view. We rented
them both and held a wedding for 70 on the lawn
between the house and the sea. (These guys are
wedding specialists.) Bring a bunch of friends and
relax here, it's a bargain! |

| Duke and his family were wonderful hosts at their family home. The rental sits right on the shore of an amazing coral reef for easy access to hours of snorkeling (or diving), fishing, sunsets. Few minutes drive to Kohala beaches. Great alternative to the mega-resorts and support a local family. |
