Escape to the sunny Kohala Coast on the Island of Hawaii. Hawaii's perfect year-round weather allows for your endless summer. Puako is one of the sunniest spots in all Hawaii. 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.

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!

'Hale Nana Kohola' (the Whale watch House) is over 7000 sq ft under roof of architectural masterpiece on the beach in beautiful Puako. Several lanais to lounge around on when you're not at the beach. Kayaking and snorkeling only steps away in pristine clear coral reefs where Humpback whales come to breed.

Our home offers 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms with their own baths, a media room with a bath, an open living, dining and gourmet kitchen area with cathedral ceilings that opens to a huge covered lanai adjacent to the 46' 360 degree infinity pool. Each bedroom, the living and media room, each have a large flat screen TV complete with an advanced audio system. Great care was taken with the landscape, creating a beautiful palm tree oasis on the ocean side. This gorgeously designed home is topped off with a 3rd story 'whale watch' retreat that offers 360 degree view. New mattresses and luxurious bedding in all master and guest bedrooms (Oct 2023).

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.
Hale Nana Kohola has hosted numerous birthday, anniversary and other family reunions for the past 10 years. Our house is constantly being upgraded and is in pristine condition. The Hawaiian Polynesian design has a couple of thousand square feet of lanais for amazing indoor and outdoor living.

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. This home is one of the few in Puako with a sandy beach right in front complete with the protected ‘lava reef pools’ for your little ones. 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. One of the rituals at Hale Nana Kohola is watching the sunset from the chairs on the beach. And amazing sunsets they are!

Truly and amazing place
The property was just amazing. It exceeded expectations. The privacy of the property was perfect for our family of 10. Allowed for us to swim whenever we wanted, enjoy the sunsets from the beach, and lots of family dinners at the outdoor dining area. Highly recommend

Why they chose this property

When we bought this beautiful home from the couple that built it, we felt as if we'd come home! The spectacular beach front location reminds us of old Hawaii. The area is serene, peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable. Sea turtles are commonly seen and whale season is extraordinary! The community is friendly and close knit, with deep respect for Puako. We're very fortunate to be able to share the treasured experience of being here with others.

What makes this property unique

No need to make arrangements and rent kayaks, stand up paddle boards, swimming gear, beach chairs, and other nominally not supplied amenities. Hale Nana Kohola supplies this necessary equipment for your pleasure during your stay. There are also many amenities in the house such as bicycle cruisers and of course high-speed Wi-Fi. Watch some free movies and enjoy the Sonos sound system to play your favorite music too . Our swimming pool is a heated saltwater pool which normally does not irritate your eyes like chlorinated pools. There is also an elliptical machine and a few free weights located on the upper floor so you can workout with an incredible ocean view!
