What our guests are saying...
Manini Beach Breath Taker provides a comfortable, spacious setting with roomy bedrooms, inviting furnishings, and a well-stocked kitchen for relaxed meals. Guests praised its cleanliness and the evident care given to the home. Set in a peaceful neighborhood on Kealakekua Bay, it offers convenient access to Manini Beach and exceptional snorkeling nearby. The waterfront lanai delivers spectacular bay views, refreshing breezes, and memorable sunset watching. A grill adds to the ease of preparing meals during a relaxing stay.
Overview
Hardwood floors, wicker details, and vaulted ceilings give this three-bedroom, two-bath home a relaxed plantation-style feel. The open kitchen is ready for easy island meals, and sliding doors let the living room open toward the breeze and water. Cable TV and board games cover quiet evenings. There is no air conditioning, so the home relies on the cooling trade winds that move through the oceanfront setting.
Guests at Manini Beach Breath Taker enjoy access to a private entrance with a lit path for easy evening arrivals, plus a garden area for relaxing outside. The oceanfront setting sits along Kealakekua Bay with beach access just steps away, ideal for snorkeling and kayaking. Sea views and outdoor seating complete this Big Island retreat.
The neighborhood: Captain Cook sits on the Big Island's South Kona coast, where coffee farms and a quieter shoreline frame the days. Kealakekua Bay is the local standout, a protected marine sanctuary known for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, with guided outings and shoreline history close by. Rent a kayak, explore the coast, or visit a coffee farm before coming back to watch the water change color. Shops and restaurants are a drive rather than a stroll, which suits travelers looking for more nature and less resort traffic. It is a beautiful, unhurried corner of the island for families and friends who want the ocean close and the schedule open.
Getting around: Kona International Airport is roughly 35 to 45 minutes away along the scenic Kona Coast. A rental car is recommended for exploring local coffee farms, shops, dining, and beaches. Kealakekua Bay and nearby snorkeling spots are close by, while most other South Kona destinations require a drive. Parking is available on site for this home.

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!!!
