About this property

*NEW* Kealakekua Bay Oceanfront Home with Views from Every Room

Summary:

Wake with Kealakekua Bay in view from every bedroom, then step outside to one of the Big Island's most remarkable ocean settings. This three-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront home sleeps up to six right at the water's edge, near a protected marine sanctuary known for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking. Rent kayaks from the vendor next door, join a guided outing toward the cliff caves, or keep it simple with a tropical drink and dinner on the waterside patio. Inside, hardwood floors, wicker details, and vaulted ceilings give the home an easy plantation-style feel, while the kitchen is ready for local fruit or fresh seafood. Watch for dolphins and, in season, whales from the lanai. Please note that the home does not have air conditioning and relies on cooling trade winds. It is a rare pick for a family or friends who want the bay to be the whole point of the trip.



The Space:

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.



Guest Access:

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.



Other Things to Note:

• Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer.

• Parking is provided for two vehicles in the driveway (street parking is not permitted).

• This vacation rental is not equipped with air-conditioning.

• This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

This house was fantastic! It was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. It was so lovely to sit on the porch in comfortable chairs and look out over the beach each morning in the evening. The place was clean, the kitchen was fully equipped, and there was easy access to Snorkeling from Manini Beach Park. This is one is a keeper, and we will definitely be returning.

My family stayed here over Spring break, right at the tail end of the Kona low. We lost a day due to the storm but loved our stay! The location of this house is just amazing, you could not possibly be closer to the water. It was too rough to snorkel or swim when we there(again because other storm) but there was a tide pool right in front of the house that we could go in at low tide which was great. The house was so well stocked, even had a coffee grinder for delicious local coffee. The lock on the door is a little tricky, we ended up calling for help on our arrival, but they answered and helped even at about 11 pm and we got the hang of it after that. We loved Captain Cook and had great food at The Coffee Shack and Kaaloa’s Super J which were pretty close. We would absolutely stay here again if/when we are back on the big island.

Breathtaker, as advertised

This is an amazing place to be. Such a short walk (less then 1min) to Manini Beach and good snorkeling access to the amazing marine protected Kealakakua Bay. Relax on the porch and head back for more time in the water. Can't wait to visit again.

Beautiful view and plenty of amenities

The view is priceless, we used boogie boards and were supplied plenty of towels. The oven is modern and has an air fryer capability. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates and so forth. Area was nice. Very relaxing and plenty of room. Loved how there is a bathroom downstairs for the two guest rooms.
