Would never stay again. It’s literally just a beach shack. We arrived to a back patio with TONS of cockroaches, even in the shower which you have to access from outside of the house.
The kitchen had a TERRIBLE and FOUL smell like something had died.
The flimsy bed frame broke after light adult activity (we’re not big humans and did not use it roughly) causing us to sleep on a slanted bed...
There are no kitchen basics- not cooking oil, not even coffee. So bummed to have to wait until 10am when the general store a half mile down the road opens to buy their only $21 bag of coffee.
The decor is basic, cheap and not cozy at all. The couch was dirty, stained in places.
Overall, it was a place to sleep and we couldn’t wait to get to our next accommodation.
I have spent many years in Puako and all over the Big Island and have never stayed in a place like this.
It’s nothing special. The only positives we found were the AC, so nice! And the location and access to beautiful snorkeling and great beaches like 69!
