Oceanfront Kealakekua Bay Retreat w/ Breathtaking Views from Every Room

Manini Beach Breath Taker

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Located in Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary and an ideal spot for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, this 2BR/2BA oceanfront property is lovingly named Kaikanani (the beautiful sea) and sits right on the water’s edge. Look no further, you’ve found your home in paradise!

With breathtaking ocean views from every bedroom, this rental is perfect for a family or group of friends. From the minute you arrive, you’ll feel that laid-back aloha vibe. Enjoy a tropical drink while you grill on the patio by the sea.

Rent kayaks from the vendor next door, go snorkeling, or take a guided tour to learn about the nearby cliff caves. Coffee lovers won’t want to miss a chance to tour a local farm in Kona Coffee Country. Walk just steps to secluded Manini Beach.

ABOUT THE HOME

This plantation-style home boasts hardwood floors, wicker décor, and vaulted ceilings. Open the sliding doors in the living room to enjoy the island breeze and kick back on the sofa, love seat, and two chairs. Play the provided board games or watch a movie on the 32” TV.

Enjoy fresh caught seafood and locally grown tropical fruits. The open kitchen has everything you need to prepare tasty home-cooked fare. Gaze out at the sea while preparing favorite recipes, or make use of the charcoal grill on the patio for a memorable alfresco meal. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the kitchen bar with seating for four, then gather at the six-person dining table—which offers more magnificent views.

After dinner, unwind on the lanai with seating for four and watch for passing dolphins and whales.

All of the bedrooms offer gorgeous ocean views.

The master bedroom -- just off the living room -- has a king bed, vaulted ceilings, and a ceiling fan. Open the sliding glass door to the lanai and listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower. A door to the hall lets this double as a guest bathroom.

The first-floor guest rooms are completely separate from the main living area and are accessed through the garage. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a ceiling fan. Another sleeping space has a king bed, a ceiling fan, and a sliding glass door to the patio. The downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower.

This house was fantastic! It was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. It was so lovely to sit on the porch in comfortable chairs and look out over the beach each morning in the evening. The place was clean, the kitchen was fully equipped, and there was easy access to Snorkeling from Manini Beach Park. This is one is a keeper, and we will definitely be returning.

I am a Platinum rated renter. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the Vacasa management of this property. The photos do not show the condition of the house. I love this location and the view from the upstairs deck. There are new appliances in the kitchen, the rest of the house is a bit run down. If you have young children, the downstairs two bedrooms are hard to get to and very far from the upstairs living area. You have to go on the outside deck, down outside stairs, through the garage and then you get to the first of the two bedrooms. That first one has two twin beds and no other exit. The second downstairs bedroom (found by going through the bathroom from the room with twin beds) does have a sliding glass door. My sister and daughter were disappointed in the downstairs rooms. We complained and got about 60 refunded (10% of the cost of one night).
Twin bed pellet issue.

Fabulous

This is the most peaceful, beautiful spot. The home is super comfortable and spacious for the 6 of us who stayed. It's definitely not fancy, but feels really real and local. The house itself is secure. The bedding and linens are decent. The furniture is comfortable. The kitchen is really well stocked for cooking in. The neighbors were really nice and we never had a noise issue with anyone in the area. The little beach steps away is super sweet and clean and provides great entry to swimming in the bay. We will definitely be renting this house again.

Breathtaker, as advertised

This is an amazing place to be. Such a short walk (less then 1min) to Manini Beach and good snorkeling access to the amazing marine protected Kealakakua Bay. Relax on the porch and head back for more time in the water. Can't wait to visit again.

The view is priceless, we used boogie boards and were supplied plenty of towels. The oven is modern and has an air fryer capability. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates and so forth. Area was nice. Very relaxing and plenty of room. Loved how there is a bathroom downstairs for the two guest rooms.

Wonderful view

We stayed for three days and really enjoyed the neighborhood, park, and proximity to the ocean. The neighbors were the only downside. There was a massive party on our first night and so we were not able to sleep very well. Party was less than a second night and happily quiet on the third night.

This place is a gem for location.

I love the view. There is no ac so for some it might be tough . Opening windows helps as long as sun is not beaming in. The bed was recently changed in upstairs room so it’s better than our last stay. We saw a huge cane spider which are size of hand. Plus some geckos so be one with nature here. The view and location can’t be beat. The kitchen and bathrooms vanity’s have been updated. There were a few things during our trip that needed fixed but they were responsive and quick.
