About 69-1798 Puako Beach Dr
This is a quintessential ocean front property that exudes all the best Puako has to offer: beach front, white sand, proximity to the turtle watching station, wide range of ocean sports, a boat launch and easy water access. Two complete homes total of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and combined square footage of 1,940. HOSTING STATUS for Short Term Vacation Rentals will be in compliance with County requirements shortly. The homes are separated by a natural anchialine, brackish pond for privacy. Puako is situated between the luxury 5-star Gold Coast resorts: Mauna Lani Auberge, Fairmont Orchid, the famed Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, and Westin Hapuna. Puako is an oceanfront residential community where you will enjoy the same or better weather as the resorts, lower density, and without the restrictions and high cost of a homeowner association. Puako still remains a small, exclusive enclave w/a total beach town vibe. The vision for these remodeled homes (2020-21) was to create the feel of modern, contemporary beach bungalows (c.1960-70) w/clean lines, playfulness, quality construction and finishes. Comfortable, relaxed sophistication meets Old Hawaii on one of the most formidable wide and deep white sand beaches in Puako. The Puako Bay shoreline of tide pools, inlets, and coves, offers snorkeling, kayaking, diving, surfing, fishing and minutes to world class golf. A long white-sand beach interspersed w/lava outcroppings spans the entire length of the bay's vast reef. Views from the main home and 600 sqft. lanai is across the channel to Maui, the Kohala mountains, sunsets, seasonal and up-close whale watching. Living within this turtle preserve ranging from Wailea Bay to Pauoa Bay brings your ocean neighbors into your life daily. Residents here are initiative-taking, ocean conservationists, conscientious minded individuals who consider themselves blessed to live in Puako. This is Puako at its finest and for the discerning buyer who understands the distinction of owning in Puako.
