About this property

Kealakekua Bay (which means Pathway to the Gods) has one of the Big Island's most spectacular coral reefs. Because it is a Marine Life Sanctuary, the fish are plentiful and swarm over the well developed reef that slopes from the shores into the ocean. Spinner dolphins, Manta Rays, and Green Sea turtles are commonly seen resting in the Bay. Humpback Whales visit in the winter season from January to March. The reefs make this area an underwater showcase, so come enjoy a swim or snorkel, and dive into some of the worlds most pristine waters, all well within walking distance from the house. Often there is an opportunity to swim with the plentiful spinner dolphins, right in the bay.

Great location and very welcoming. Couple of take aways

Amazing location. You really feel like a local. So close to key Captain Cook venues. Apt is large. They supply all that you need and more. Frig was stocked with some great treats. Such Aloja spirit. WiFi is sporadic and not strong in half of the house. Window unit for the master and many fans provided. Overall a great experience and super nice owner Kay!

Kona Kay's house was perfectly located, a 5 minute walk from the beach and still very quiet. Manini is a slice of Heaven. The house is not new or fancy, it's somewhat old fashioned, spacious, quiet, clean. The beds are very comfortable...having a bath and a half was great...Kay was very helpful, kind and friendly but not at all intrusive. She offered fresh fruit from her stand, nice because there are no nearby stores. Parking is easy. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great Location, Fantastic Host

This upstairs unit is a 5-minute walk from the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. Kaye was an amazing generous host. The unit is well-equipped and very clean. The heat during our stay was intense so we scheduled our time away from the unit in the afternoon and evening. A window AC unit made the bedroom bearable at night. Thanks for a great stay Kaye!

Peaceful oasis

Amazing location a short walk from a wonderful historic bay with fantastic snorkeling. Swam with a manta ray one morning. Kay was so kind, provided us with more fruit than we could handle, and plenty of other food and goodies. The neighborhood itself is also great to walk around, with plenty of beautiful flowers and birds. Very short drive to Two Step and The City of Refuge, both of which are must sees. I would recommend this spot to anyone I know.
