Oceanfront Kealakekua Bay Retreat w/ Breathtaking Views from Every Room
Manini Beach Breath Taker
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Located in Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary and an ideal spot for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, this 2BR/2BA oceanfront property is lovingly named Kaikanani (the beautiful sea) and sits right on the water’s edge. Look no further, you’ve found your home in paradise!
With breathtaking ocean views from every bedroom, this rental is perfect for a family or group of friends. From the minute you arrive, you’ll feel that laid-back aloha vibe. Enjoy a tropical drink while you grill on the patio by the sea.
Rent kayaks from the vendor next door, go snorkeling, or take a guided tour to learn about the nearby cliff caves. Coffee lovers won’t want to miss a chance to tour a local farm in Kona Coffee Country. Walk just steps to secluded Manini Beach.
ABOUT THE HOME
This plantation-style home boasts hardwood floors, wicker décor, and vaulted ceilings. Open the sliding doors in the living room to enjoy the island breeze and kick back on the sofa, love seat, and two chairs. Play the provided board games or watch a movie on the 32” TV.
Enjoy fresh caught seafood and locally grown tropical fruits. The open kitchen has everything you need to prepare tasty home-cooked fare. Gaze out at the sea while preparing favorite recipes, or make use of the charcoal grill on the patio for a memorable alfresco meal. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the kitchen bar with seating for four, then gather at the six-person dining table—which offers more magnificent views.
After dinner, unwind on the lanai with seating for four and watch for passing dolphins and whales.
All of the bedrooms offer gorgeous ocean views.
The master bedroom -- just off the living room -- has a king bed, vaulted ceilings, and a ceiling fan. Open the sliding glass door to the lanai and listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower. A door to the hall lets this double as a guest bathroom.
The first-floor guest rooms are completely separate from the main living area and are accessed through the garage. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a ceiling fan. Another sleeping space has a king bed, a ceiling fan, and a sliding glass door to the patio. The downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower.
EXTRA AMENITIES & DETAILS
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.
Permit # W74181539
LOCATION
