I spent this past weekend at John's place in Puako. This is a very quiet location that has close beach/coast access. The house was super clean and well appointed. The A/C worked great and the internet was blazing fast, so I could get some necessary work done while there. It is a 5 minute drive to Hapuna, which has fantastic body surfing/boogey boarding if you like. Beautiful snorkeling/diving can be had just across the street and there are many public access points along the road. After spending nearly $500/day at a condo near by, the value of John's place was outstanding. I look forward to staying again in the future.
