Steps from 69
This is an older well maintained property with a peekaboo view of the water on a short path to beautiful 69 Beach. It’s one of a small cluster of homes on a private gated road just North of Puako. It was perfect for a couple, but would be quite cozy with others sleeping on the pull out in the main living space. There are stairs from the carport to the house with BBQ and laundry on the carport level. Well supplied, outdoor shower, full kitchen, built for breezes.

Best property management
This was our 2nd time staying here and our 3rd time using 2Papayas, the awesome property management company on the Big Island. Each time we have stayed in one of their houses has been a perfect vacation, from the expertly stocked kitchens to bathrooms with big fluffy towels, and always available and attentive staff of 2Papayas. The Waialea Bay house is perfectly situated with a secret path to the beach, a wonderful outdoor shower that has hot water to wash off the sand, and private setting with beautiful flowering trees and foliage surrounding. It is simply our favorite place to stay on the Big Island and I’m sure we will be back. We came to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary (got hitched here on the Kohala coast) and I was so sad to leave our little paradise. Thank you and Mahalo to Mary and Marley for providing such an exceptional experience. Aloha!🌺🌺🌺

Wanted this to be great, it was good
Overall, we enjoyed our time here, but a few disappointments mixed with the good: Pros: Really off the beaten path Perfect size for a couple, everything you could need Very close to a lovely shaded beach OK snorkeling (too murky for me, but my husband loved it, saw a sea turtle) Easy to get to Bed was soft, but firm Close to other homes, but enough foliage and ground cover to feel private. Cons: One of the weekends we were here was a holiday weekend and the beach was VERY crowded. The rest of the week days it was very quiet, but it is a public beach well known for the shade, so just know on weekends or the holiday it can be crowded. The description says there is an ocean breeze, but that was not our experience. I don’t know if it was a bad time of year, or if the foliage might be getting too tall, but there was absolutely no breeze at all. The air was still. With Hi 80’s in the day and low 70’s at night (2am), we really didn’t sleep… couldn’t sleep except from about 2-7am because it was just so hot the rest of the time. Overall, we enjoyed our time, but it was just too hot to stay in the house without a true ocean breeze or a room a/c. :(
