Gorgeous home and location

Fantastic home and location in Captain Cook. Felt like we were in a treehouse on the bay. Well appointed home and kitchen with everything you could need. Incredible views and spacious enough for 6 adults and one kid to do everything we wanted. Plenty of fans to keep the house cool and we truly had a magical stay!

Go somewhere else

We first reserved another place through VRBO. Several weeks later, that owner let us know that he could not honor that reservation as he had just realized that he was double-booked for our 12 day stay. As we had invited guests to join us, I had to find another place. This was the only place available at 3,000 more than the original. It does not appear the VRBO cares about such things. There is not enough room here to set out all the issues of this place. VRBO also doesn't seem to care about the accuracy of listings. Steer clear of this place.

New Year's Holiday

Our holiday home on Kealakekua Bay met more than muster for our family of 6 ranging in age from 5-79. The house was pristine and furnished all desired amenitites. We had a direct view of the bay through wide, open, living room doors and lanai, and a short walk to the snorkeling area at Manini Beach. As Midwesterners, we could not have hoped for a more "exotic" Hawaiian experience.Highly, highly recommend.

Amazing Experience!

First time staying in a VRBO. Wonderful experience. The home was beautiful, the location amazing. Oceanfront views out the front, with dolphins each morning in the bay. Jungle and tropical atmosphere in the back. A perfect escape! Very private and quiet (except for the birds each morning -lol!) Property was well-maintained and very clean. Communication with the property manager via text was very convenient and they replied very quickly to my questions. I would definetly go back to this property!

Exceptional get away

The home is nestled in a quiet area of the Big Island where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of Kealakehua bay. It's just steps away from the bay where you can watch the dolphins, snorkel, kayak, and take in stunning sunsets. The home is absolutely beautiful with custom finishes throughout. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and there's even a barbeque on the back porch. The back porch has a large dining table and is surrounded by beautiful vegetation that screens out any neighbors so you feel like you're in your own private retreat. Other perks were the kayaks and beach toys. The host was great about checking in with us to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. This is the place to stay if you want to stay in a beautiful home in a gorgeous setting where you can unwind. I would definitely book here again

Beautiful House and Location

We normally don’t leave reviews, but this house made our vacation. The house was in a great location, very spacious (was very comfortable for 8 people), and well stocked. It had boogie boards, kayaks, beach chairs, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the perfect view of the ocean from the lanai and we were lucky enough to see dolphins. The back lanai was the perfect place to enjoy listening to the frogs and birds while surrounded by beautiful greenery. There was no traffic noise, just sounds of nature and the ocean waves. Snorkeling in the bay was amazing. Luke was great to deal with. We definitely will book this house again if we are fortunate enough to return.

Dolphins House

This was a great place for us to stay and enjoy to the fullest. House has everything you need and wish for. Location is the best! You can enjoy ocean view while drinking coffee or preparing dinner. My favorite part was you get the ocean view in the front and garden view in the back. We watched dolphins play from the balcony while preparing breakfast. We saw turtles at the bay, enjoyed the most beautiful sunset which is steps away. Snorkeling is one of the best on the island by the monument. We had our scuba diving gear so we were able to enjoy the ocean even more. We loved the place and plan to come back. This will always be our dolphins house. Thank you for lifetime memories!

Older home with unbeatable view

We had a delightful family vacation here. The owner was helpful and responsive. Location is amazing, we saw dolphins in the Bay and loved being able to snorkel and swim right across the road. Beautiful garden, and lovely Hawaiian antiques among the decor. Property has a nice lay-out, but needs some repairs, and there's no way to keep geckos out (they're cute and friendly, but fair warning! ). The basement room had a mildew smell. Lots of boogie boards available, and kayaks (but the seats are broken and not comfortable). Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. We would recommend it!

Great spot on the bay

The house was just what we needed - clean and comfy, close to the water, great views. We used the kayaks a few times and that was a highlight of the trip - we'd have used them daily if the weather had been calmer. Really enjoyed the opportunity to get into the water right from the house. Owner was communicative and helpful. Thanks!

Gorgeous view

Location was perfect and the view was amazing! We kayaked from the house to the Captain Cook monument, Lani the local kayak rental man down the street was a huge help getting us in the water! Close proximity to Two Step which is great for snorkeling and short distance drive to green sand beach, black sand beach and pebble beach. The home has no A/C but this seems to be typical of many Hawaii homes. It was warm, but we adapted. During the day we were out exploring the beautiful island and at night you would get a bit of a breeze off the water.

We LOVED this house! It isn't 'fancy' - but the location is unbeatable. We spent most of our time on the lawn or on the beach - or sitting in a tide pool (at low tide) with a beer. The snorkeling was better than on our booked snorkeling tours. The house is very well equipped and very comfortable. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Wonderful beach house

This was our third trip to big island and we knew we wanted to be in Captain cook for great snorkelling. Just know you will be 30 to 40 minutes from Kona stores and restaurants. Otherwise this house has great location and set up. We had 7 adults and the house was perfect size. 4th bedroom is add on bedroom behind garage with 2 single beds, so i can see it being issue if you have 4 couples, deciding who stays there. We had a single, so it worked out well. Kitchen is well appointed. There are plenty of towels, and washer & dryer to keep them clean if you do the beach most days like us. We kayaked right out the front of the house almost every day. 2 double and 1 single kayak while we were there. Other gear icludes 2 bikes, 3 boogie boards, 2 beach chairs and 2 nice fishing poles. Snorkeling gear and beach shoes for 5 or 6. No hesitation in recommending this house.

Gorgeous house with an amazing view of Kealakekua Bay.

We have stayed in the area on 3 separate occasions over the last 8 years, and in many ways this house was our favorite. The view of the water from the house is unbelievable. The master bedroom is like a private oasis with windows in all directions. The kitchen was very well appointed - it was set up better than any rental house I've ever stayed in. The living room was comfortable, and had a "wall" of doors that opened up to the bay, making it feel like you were outside. The backyard was lush and beautiful, with another large deck and patio table large enough to accommodate our party of 7. It is one of the few houses in the area that has 4 bedrooms, which was what we needed for our large group. If there was a down side, I would say it's that the bedrooms are very unequal in terms of size, amenities, and desirability. It worked out fine for our group, but if you had a group of 4 couples, it might be difficult to figure out who stays where. The room in the basement is cute, with it's own sitting area and a little mini fridge, but it smelled damp and had no bathroom, which could be a problem for some people. It was fine for the kids. The house said it came with kayaks for 7, but when we got there, one of the double kayaks was missing and another was being repaired, so we only had kayaks for 3. But we got one of the kayaks back during our stay after it was fixed. Overall, the location was amazing, the house was beautiful and comfortable, and we all had a lovely time. I would certainly stay there again.

A secluded retreat close to Kona

This wonderful house met all of our expectations! It is located on a very quiet street with an unobstructed view and access to Captain Cook bay. Rick, the owner, provided kayaks and snorkel gear. The snorkeling near the Captain Cook monument was among the best we've ever seen! The house was comfortable for our family of 7, ages 9-74. All of us enjoyed the resident geckos and mongoose. Mosquitoes were a bit annoying but we chalked that up to part of being in our own private tropical paridise. If you want the hustle and bustle of Hawaii, it is an easy drive to Kona. Our week went much too quickly.

Snorkeling Paradise

A beautiful view of the bay. A comfortable house with great amenities. It had just about everything we could ask for. A quiet neighborhood, we could hear the surf crashing at night. The owner was helpful with info about local activities. It was a short walk to 3 really good snorkeling spots. Short kayak trip across the bay to a great snorkeling spot, Capt. Cook. Short drive to another great snorkeling spot, Two Step. I would stay here again.
