This tropical paradise meets the blue Pacific ocean. Hale Nana Kohola frames Haleakala, Maui's highest peak directly from the gorgeous lanais across the reflective HEATED infinity swimming pool.
 
Hale Nana Kohola is located  on one of the most unique spots in all of Hawaii!!  Puako is a quiet cul-de-sac street about 3 miles long.  Puako is only one of two beachfront communities on a not a through street in all of Hawaii.  Puako Beach has an old Hawaiian ambiance.  Our entire community is a tropical paradise with only one access. There is only a handful of true beachfront vacation rentals in Puako Beach and Hale Nana Kohola ( the whale watch house) is one of the few. 
 
Swim in the 360° infinity salt water heated pool while overlooking the gorgeous lava and coral reef  a few feet away.
 
We offer kayaking, snorkeling and stand-up paddling just steps from the lanai. All of the equipment is provided when you stay at our luxury vacation home!

The swimming pool has direct access from the first floor. For children are not water safe it is recommended that they wear a life vest when in the vicinity of the pool.

Our media room is equipped with luxury chairs and a full bath for ‘overflow’ guests. There is also a Queen Murphy bed in the media room, which converts to the fifth bedroom.
 
Great care has been taken with the landscape of our beach house vacation rental, creating a beautiful Hawaiian oasis including a hammock stretched between two palms ocean side.

The ancient Hawaiians have named one of the pools in front of Hale Nana Kohola the “Queens Bath”.
 
This gorgeously designed luxury vacation rental home is topped off with a 3rd story “whale watch” retreat that offers 360-degree views across the land and ocean from the sunrise over Mauna Kea to the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

CONTACT OWNER

Jane is an artist and a designer and Ron is a contractor. They both have teamed up over the last forty years to build homes with balance and flow that they and visitors can enjoy. It is like creating a feeling that is appealing to the senses. Over the years with Janes visions and Rons construction ability and help from various architects, several of their homes have been awarded; have been in charity events for architectural walks and in publications.
Ronald Jenny purchased this House in 2007
Why Ronald Jenny chose Puako
When we found Puako we felt we were home. It reminded us of old Hawaii, a sleepy little street running along the Beautiful Kahoka Coast. It was not our intent while building to use it as a vacation rental. It just happened and we have been very fortunate to share this paradise with others.
What makes this House unique
No need to make arrangements and rent kayaks, stand up boards, swimming gear, beach chairs and other nominally not supplied amenities. Hale Nana Kohola Will save you hundreds of dollars in rental expenses and inconvenience supplying all necessary equipment. There are also many amenities in the house such as bicycle cruisers and of course high-speed Wi-Fi. There are many options of free movies and the sound system due out to play your favorite music. The swimming pool is a heated saltwater pool which normally does not irritate your eyes such as chlorinated pools. There is also a workout equipment on the upper floor to be able to watch the ocean and get some exercise.

Great home! Didnt want to leave :-)


My wife and I stayed for a week and really loved the property. Having both the pool and direct beach access was amazing and something we took advantage of daily. We will be returning.

A very comfortable home in a unique and beautiful spot . Great pool , great access to the ocean , perfect for young children . The home occupies a spot near the best beaches and several major resorts , but on a quiet street . The best of both worlds . We loved our stay .

Breathtaking property, amazing owner and property manager.


This home was everything I had hoped for and more. This was a surprise for my family and we were all surprised by how absolutely beautiful the home and property truly are. I wanted a place for us to spend quality time together while enjoying Hawaii. This home has everything you can ask for. We loved our trip and everything the Big Island has to offer but honestly we could have used more time to spend at the home. The owner has thought of everything. My family ranged from 13 years old to 89 years old and everyone had a hard time leaving. Sitting outside watching the sunset every night was the perfect ending to the day. This made our trip really feel like we had spent our time in paradise. The owner and staff were wonderful to work with and always answered any and all questions as quickly as possible. My family and I would recommend staying at this home to anyone and hopefully one day we will be fortunate enough to stay here again. Thank you for sharing your perfect Big Island home with us.

Fantastic House!!!! & Setting!!


This is a Dream Home!!! We had a group of 12, children ranged from 19 to 2. This place had something for everyone, from grandparents to 2 years old! The home is so well designed that there is plenty of room for family togetherness, yet serenity & privacy also!! We made lots of use of water shoes, snorkeling gear, paddle boards & kayaks. One of the bikes does need new gears, however, We ate in a lot & the fabulous kitchen & BBQ were put to good use. This provided a wonderful lifetime memory!! Can\'t wait to repeat this experience. Thank you for the opportunity!

Wow!


The house is spectacular. Ron has thought of everything. Fantastic location on a charming little road a couple of miles and sandwiched between two large resort type areas. We had 2 families with 5 kids total and everyone loved everything about the place. Pool area is gorgeous. Beach is a blast. Beds are super nice. Kitchen is huge. I\'m not sure what more to say other than book this house and you will be a very happy person. Thanks Ron! We will be back!
