About this property
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. Aloha

This property was absolutely stunning! Would stay here over and over again! The views are incredible, 5 minute drive to the beach (bring water shoes), and the extra murphy bed in the living room was perfect addition the the other rooms to fit 6 adults comfortably!

Cathy was a top-notch guests, we loved having her here.
Aloha Gus
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.
With an unparalleled view, the house was one of my favorite stays ever. The details of the house include the fact that the kitchen is an outside kitchen, so care needs to be taken to close away all food at night. LaRissa, the property manager, was very available and lovely to work with. The house was extremely clean. The lanai is where we spent most of our time, really beautiful. And the location, near great beaches, is perfect. My only recommendation is that they replace the stove/oven, which had issues, and that they completely replace the outside grill. Other than that, we strongly recommend this home rental.
Communication with the host was excellent!! Finding the property can be a little tricky if its dark but the host was available right away to help us navigate. The property was very clean when we arrived
We loved the indoor/outdoor kitchen, the stunning ocean view, the sunsets, the privacy, the friendly cat and be so close to some of the best Big Island snorkeling spots
Once in a lifetime experience! This was our best stay during our entire Hawaiian vacation! My husband and I enjoyed the king bedroom suite and enormous shower with the most incredible VIEW! Wow! Wow! Plenty of room for our family of five to spread out, with our two boys sharing one bedroom at the other end of the house with their own bathroom and our daughter getting the queen murphy bed all to herself in the living room with her own bathroom as well. We loved the kitty! So friendly and never a bother at all. Host was helpful and brought us flashlights and umbrellas when a storm was brewing. Easy to find and private from other neighbors! Would definitely recommend this location to anyone, especially a family that wants to unwind and retreat! Thank you for making your home available to give us this experience!!!

The host, Gus, was exceptional. Obviously a very talented young man. The house and the grounds are a work of art. The location is very tropical and secluded yet near everything. Great views of the bay. Very clean and well kept. Loved the cat. So friendly. Everything works!
Spectacular house, nice hosts and amenities. Be prepared to deal with insects while in outdoor areas, as reasonably expected in such a beautiful setting.
We will definitely book this home again in the future! The house has amazing Hawaiian vibes with an open air kitchen, views to die for, and separate bedroom pods for privacy.
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!
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!
This is a beautiful house with amazing views. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The cat is very cute and friendly and Gus is a great host. We regretted we couldn't stay longer.
Gorgeous views from this very quiet, secluded property. We loved the outdoor kitchen, bathroom and all the other outdoor spaces. Our family of 4 had a lot of space to spread out. The area felt very safe and is lush and beautiful.
Such a cool open air experience in Hawaii, so much room for 6 adults to spread out and relax. Spectacular view of K-bay and sunsets. Gus & Maggie are A++.
We stayed at three locations on the island during our trip and this is the one my kids didn't want to leave. Amazing view, quiet, clean, well stocked.
The cat that comes with the property was a fun surprise.
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.
