The owners take great care for this place. It was super clean and had everything we needed. The location is amazing. We rented kayaks for the week and were able to get in the bay right from the property (be advised this is not for the feint of heart as the entrance is rocky and you need to time with the waves). The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We watched amazing sunsets from the lanai after snorkeling in front of the house. If you want a relaxing vacation in a house right on the water, this place can't be beat. Mahalo!
The location is perfect for anyone wanting a great view/location without the crowds. 30-45 minute drive to the tourist area with restaurants and tours. But enough casual local restaurants for great casual meals within 15 to 20 minutes. Be aware no AC.....cooled off ok at night but can get hot during day. Very casual home....nothing fancy...but everything you really need. We L9VED our stsy
Local support staff was extremely helpful and accommodating like getting us beach chairs and a beach tote bag within hours after we requested.
We loved how close to the ocean the home was, the boys had a blast fishing 🎣 the views are spectacular. Loved hanging out on the lanai with the breeze.
I really don't want to share this place with anyone else because I'll never find it available again! It'll be booked forever. The house is in a great neighborhood, right on the bay. Three easy accesses to the bay very close to the house. And a wonderful lanai to spend hours watching the water. It has all the basics you need, all the kitchen items needed to cook or grill. The bedrooms are roomy and comfortable.
I have been coming to Kealakekua Bay for years with my husband and we have rented various places, but I have always thought that THIS house has the best location. Because it sleeps six, it was always too big until last week when I came with five women friends and it WAS SPECTACULAR!! We loved the view, the access to swimming right down the street at Manini, the walks through the sweet neighborhood, the nearness of Ke’ei Beach, Honaunau and Pu’uhonua. I recommend everything about this house and location. I personally prefer to stay far away from tourist hotels, condos and shops. This neighborhood is a unique setting with nothing commercial (except when the kayak companies drop kayaks at the public access). After admiring it for years I finally got to stay here!!!
