This classic island beach cottage is in Puako, a small beach community on the Big Island of Hawaii, with history and charm as deep as the Pacific Ocean. The property sits across the street from a beach access with tide pools, swimming holes, white sand coves, and a turtle sanctuary. It is a classic island two bedroom, one bathroom beach cottage design mixed with mid-century details featuring a large wraparound lanai flanked by a lava rock wall and overlooking an expansive grassy lawn and lush topical colorful vegetation as a privacy hedge. The home is framed by Monkeypod trees, a treasure that provides lots of shade in this warm coastal climate. Bordering the rear of the property is State of Hawaii land, further adding to the privacy and beauty of the large yard. It is less than 2 miles from some of the best beaches in the world (according to Conde Naste)—Hapuna, Mauna Kea and Waikaloa beaches.
