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.

Enjoy the peacefulness, beauty, and spirit of old Hawaii when you visit this vacation rental home at Kealakekua Bay. Get away from the crowds and traffic in Kailua-Kona town.

    This cute apartment reminds me of my grandma’s place. Apartment is older, but it has everything that you need in there. It is walking distance to a small bay where you can snorkeling with beautiful fishes. There is a fruit stand right outside where you can get local fruits. Kay, the owner is super nice and friendly. The only down side is the apartment is on second floor and can get pretty warm in summer time. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the stay.

    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.

    Had a good time staying at Kay's lovely place. It's very conveniently located near two-step, which made our snorkeling trips so easy. It's also just a few mins of walk to our Kayak launching site to captain cook. There's a lot of room on the second floor. And the kitchen is well stocked. The communication is smooth. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    A great spot to stay away from the busyness of town. Manini beach is beautiful spot and an easy walk with fantastic snorkeling. I loved getting fresh fruit from Kay's fruit stand out front. Kay lives next door and is an excellent host. She made sure we had a great stay.

    Easy to check in and check out. Quick responses. Kay was very kind to make our stay as easy, pleasant, and welcomed as possible. We run into zero issues. Location was great for our trip too, as it's close to the local parks where we saw people snorkeling with Dolphins one morning, which was definitely a blast. We were just a little late in that morning when we got in the water.

    Can't beat the location and value. Kay was such a sweet and thoughtful host,... fruit from her trees, cookies from her kitchen,... she even had a battery charger when our car battery died. We would happily stay here again.

    The house was stocked with food, filtered water, chocklate, juice, lotions, sunscreen, anything you might need. Kai fixed anything wrong immediately and gave us fruit daily. The location is the best for attractions & snorkeling. The house is very dpacious. The only thing wrong is that Kay's place made the next place i went to very disappointing because i was used to such a great host, space, and check in.

    The location of this rental couldn't be better! It is steps from the bay and from kayak rentals to head out to the monument. Two-step and the place of refuge are just a couple miles down the road. The house itself is spacious and clean with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen. Air conditioning in one bedroom. The host was kind and courteous, helping us settle in despite the late hour of our arrival and the downstairs neighbor was such a delight to chat with and meet her cats. Highly recommend! We hope to be back.

    We really enjoyed staying at Kei's property. The space and grounds were exactly as depicted. It was spacious, clean and suited us and our stay perfectly. Enjoyed the location, very close to Mainini Beach and the Place of Refuge. Kei was very kind and helpful even when we accidentally locked outselves out, twice. Felt like we were staying with friends.

    Charming condo, with all the necessities. The neighbors downstairs are very nice, as is the landlady next door. Not far from the ocean. Quiet location, with birdsong and the smell of flowers in the morning. We really enjoyed it.
