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.

We have stayed at this house several times now and really love it. Great place for a large family or multiple couples, or some combo of the two. The deck and views are amazing. It's very quiet and relaxing, with enough space to spread out but also nice places to hang out together. Bring binoculars to check out the dolphins in the bay most days.

View was just spectacular
Kitty was super friendly and made it seem like home
Kitchen is an open air kitchen so make sure you put everything away at night. We wiped down the counters every night.

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!

This property is absolutely spectacular! In fact, it's probably one of the best rentals I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed at dozens, if not more than 100), given the incredible view, sunsets , and lovely outdoor living spaces. It's also close to interesting attractions and good snorkeling. And, when I left my Kindle at the rental, the host mailed it back to me and was very friendly about it. Initially I thought the cost was a little steep, but I found it to be worth every penny and overall a good value for the beautiful experience provided. Book this place now - you won't regret it!

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!

“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.

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!

Piece of Paradise

Lovely house in beautiful location. Felt like we were living in the outdoors with fantastic views of the bay below. Very comfortable beds, bathrooms. House is well supplied, kitchen very functional. And the house cat made us feel right at home. Definitely a place to come back to. And don’t miss the jewel of the little community beach within walking distance on the bay.
