Stunning oceanview property minutes from dolphins

Please check out our cottage on the same property for smaller groups: Vrbo 953957

This Unique property showcases a 153 foot ocean facing deck with luxurious indoor/outdoor Hawaiian style living. Everything is completely redone and modernized. You could be swimming in Kealakekua Bay, world famous for its spinner dolphins, in less than 3 minutes from the house. The property is also close to renowned Two Steps and directly across the bay from the historical Captain Cook Monument. It is incredibly private and far enough from the hustle and bustle of the town of Kailua Kona to truly relax.
This absolutely one of a kind property comfortably sleeps 6 adults. There are 3 king size beds and one pull out queen. There are 3 freshly remodeled full bathrooms. And a brand new kitchen. We also have 2 comfortable roll away beds for extra guests for a additional fee. There are two safes for valuables as well.
The house is located on a private road. There is a 9 p.m. noise ordinance for the neighborhood. Noise travels very easily in the bay, you might not see people but you can still hear them. You can always go inside if you want to stay up later.
As you come in through the entryway the open tropical style of the place will immediately hit you. The archway through the living room provides uninterrupted views of the bay and the setting sun. The spacious living room provides sleeping space with a king size murphy bed and a full bath. The two master bedrooms both have king size beds which also have incredible views of the bay. But the best part of the house are the unique bathrooms with epic views of the ocean. The fully stocked kitchen is indoor/outdoor and completely modern. Sitting around the island stove preparing a dinner in a group and watching the sunset over the Pacific was a highlight for all the guests we have had.
The property is located in a very quiet and private area at the bottom of beautiful Kealakekua Bay overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is an easy scenic twenty minute ride to the town of Kailua Kona, where you can find many options for restaurants and entertainment. The closest supermarket to the house is called Choice Mart, it's about a ten minute drive from the house, they have good local produce and local fresh fish.
There is a cat that has made the property her home and is the most affectionate animal ambassador we could hope for. She is an outdoor cat but very friendly and she loves people. We have a feeding station set up for her in the kitchen and we provide food for her. If you are allergic or don't care for cats this house might not be the right fit for you.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Lovely outdoor space

This is a truly unique property with a standout outdoor kitchen and an expansive patio that offers stunning views of the bay — especially at sunset. The location is fantastic, with easy access to snorkeling spots and plenty of opportunities for exploring the surrounding nature. I really appreciated the peaceful setting, the refreshing breeze, and the chance to spend so much time outdoors watching wildlife and soaking in the scenery.The house itself is comfortable and functional, though it does show some signs of wear and has more of a rental property feel compared to others I’ve stayed in. That said, the setting more than makes up for it, and I’d gladly return for the views, outdoor space, and connection to nature.

A slice of paradise...

We spent a week here in early December, and it was truly magical. We appreciated the extensive lanai, outdoor kitchen, and spectacular view. Our host was welcoming and responsive. We found the location to be perfect for exploring snorkeling spots, Volcanoes National Park, and Kona. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent all-around!

Our Captain Cook stay was pure bliss! Tucked away from the hustle & bustle, this spacious haven offered 3 separate living areas – perfect for a group getaway. The open kitchen was a chef's dream, & local dining options (15 min drive) were fantastic. Snorkeling at Two Step Beach was the icing on the cake!

Nana’s alleged swan song

Absolutely beautiful view, loved the outdoor feeling, the geckos, the garden, the sunsets. Outdoor kitchen was fabulous—made cooking magical. Comfortable beds. Worked out great for the five of us. A great place to relax away from the touristy area downtown.

“Best rental house ever”

My teen and tween decided this was “the best rental we’ve ever stayed in.” We loved the outdoor kitchen/dining with the indoor bedrooms. View and location are amazing. You could stay with a larger group and still have privacy due to the layout. Clean, had everything we needed. And we had fun counting lizards.

Great rental, great host

Our family of 6 loved everything about this rental. Gus is a hard-working, friendly host. The view from the Lanai is unbelievable. The rental is located in a quiet neighborhood and its close proximity to Captain Cook make it an ideal location for people wanting to snorkel in the area. We hope to go back someday!

We had a wonderful week at this house, lived on the deck the whole time watching the sunsets over Kealakekua Bay, absolutely beautiful. The house is lovely and has an outdoor kitchen, very comfortable. Gus was a great host, so friendly and knowledgeable about the island. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here on our next trip to the big island. Aloha 🌺

Lanai Paradise

What a fantastic property. The sunset views were breathtaking every night. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. We spent every waking hour outside, cooking, eating, lounging around the lanai. It was an easy walk down to the local park (Manini Beach) and a harder uphill walk home but not long. Also, no grocery stores or restaurants in easy walking but since we cooked all our own meals that wasn’t a problem. We loved this place!

Palea the cat is cool she shows up couple times a day to be friendly and get a snack. Kids loved her. The house is BIG. You are an overlooking one of the best snorkeling reefs.

Panorama View!

Great view of Captain Cook Memorial. Like a jungle walk above the trees. Saw a whale this morning and several times we saw spinner dolphins in the distance. Wonderful sunsets and moon sets. Conveniently located if you have a rental car and like a quiet and spectacular rural setting. Layout of the house gives you a lot of individual quiet spaces. Great kitchen for cooking togeather.

We didn't want to leave!

This property was so unbelievably amazing and tranquil that we didn't want to leave! Seriously. Personally loved the outdoor living space, finding ourselves just relaxing and taking in the beautiful view. Sunsets, moonsets, tropical breeze, native birds (no roosters!) and the sounds of ocean created a complete zen state of mind. Mahalo for sharing your slice of paradise, Gus!

Stunning views

We had a great stay at this property. Kitchen was well stocked and house was clean. Gus, our host, was very helpful. We enjoyed having the 🐈‍⬛ visit us. Beds were comfy and washroom facilities were well appointed. Just a couple of things to note: - because of the outdoor nature of the property there were a lot of mosquitos and bugs on day 1. Surprisingly not too bad on day 2. In spite of bug spray, we got bit a lot! - again, this is an open concept house with stairs leading up from the yard, straight into the deck. We were never concerned about security, but something to keep in mind.

It’s hard to describe such a place but my family and I called it our treehouse.

This home is unlike any other place I have stayed. It is exactly as described but I just couldn’t picture it. The winding scenic drive getting there was beautiful in itself but once we swung open the bamboo gates and stepped inside, the view (times perfectly at sunset) was breathtaking. The home had everything we needed and nice quality. The linens and towels were nice and the beds were very comfortable. It’s a first to have an outdoor kitchen like that and we loved it. There is an outdoor daybed that I would’ve loved to have taken home! Gus was easily accessible and answered all our questions. I was a little nervous about the reviews mentioning bugs, but being from Louisiana, it was nothing. Would most definitely stay here again.
