Summer is On Sale! - Proximity to the ocean without the beachfront price!

Host was great. Very responsive and the place was how it was portrayed

Susan, the property host, was always so friendly and quick to respond. The home was spacious for our group and we loved the location. We used Ehu and Kai to rent kayaks, which was a two minute drive or very walkable, to paddle to Captain Cook's Monument and snorkeled there. We also took advantage of Honaunau to visit the historical park and snorkel right near it. Incredible snorkeling with spinner dolphins around, sea turtle, eels and such. Really beautiful. The only ding to the home is a the lack of air conditioning. They do provide ceiling fans in the bedrooms and fans in sitting areas. We loved our time there and would stay again.

The proximity to Manini Beach is magical. Susan went above and beyond to make our stay special, including putting out toys for our kids to play with on arrival. The kids adored the shark and volcano rooms. We loved it. Thank you.

Susan is great! Great location!

Great location and house to stay in! Had everything we needed and was clean! Susan was a great host as well making sure we knew all about the volcano eruption making sure we didn’t miss it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Captain Cook. The house is comfortable and clean, with great toys for kids! The beach park access walking distance from the house was really nice.

We had a great stay - walking distance to snorkeling, and our hosts were lovely!

We stayed at Hale - Hanai with my husband, children, parents, mother in law and daughter's boyfriend. The house was spacious and clean. It was very convenient to have access to a washer and dryer.

We were a group staying together and attending a Zen retreat in Captain Cook. The location was perfect, a short drive to our retreat and a very short walk to the ocean. Susan was wonderful and very responsive to our needs. We had a beautiful time here. Mahalo

We were a group of nine people, three generations (grandparents, parents, kids), from two different states. This venue allowed us comfortable sleeping quarters for all and other living space for board games, movies, dining, and plotting out our next trip to beautiful near-by beaches. Our host provided us with a small pool for the 3-year-old and toys and books galore. In short: great place, great location, great support. Mahalo!

Lots of beach accessories for us to use (snorkels, noodles, plenty of towels) and walking distance to the water. Full sized washer/dryer were very useful. We really enjoyed our meals outside on the back patio; there are mosquito tikki torches but you may want to bring mosquito repellent as well. Susan was very sweet. Beware that a neighbor's rooster will most likely wake you up at 5am every day and there are a lot of cushions/pillows/carpets/rugs everywhere which could affect allergy-prone individuals.

We had such a good time and Susan took good care of us. Made us feel welcome and like family. Gave great recommendations. We didn't realize the prop

Hale Hanai was delightful. The property is surrounded by greenery and tropical flowers for privacy, and yet with so many windows to allow in the light, the property is both serenely private and light and bright. We were three generations of family ranging in age from 5 to 78 and Hale Hanai was perfect for all of us. It is squeaky clean, with all modern conveniences, and a wonderful, traditional Hawaiian Plantation style feel with beamed natural wood ceilings and many other natural wood accents. Susan even provided a lovely Hawaiian Christmas Tree decorated with many colorful Hawaiian leis. The hosts were both gracious and thoughtful of our needs. We had a delightful stay.

Susan is a great host

We stayed for 10 days, celebrating a family birthday with siblings and our adult kids. The two living rooms (upstairs & downstairs) made it more comfortable having a large gropu. The house was clean, ready, and well-equipped with tons of beach towels and kitchen supplies. Susan was really responsive and helpful, too. The house is well-located for a drive to Volcanoes NP. The house is about 17 miles south of Kailua-Kona, and at the bottom of a 4.5 mi hill below the highway. This was fine for us as we didn't want to be in the more crowded areas and weren't going out to eat., etc. We loved the short walk to Manini Beach for frequent snorkeling and it's a short drive to 2-Step Beach and Honaunau Bay for more fabulous snorkeling. We used Ehu & Kai Adventures to rent kayaks twice for kayaking and snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay. That made 3 outstanding snorkeling areas within easy reach of the house. This was our first trip to the islands in October and we were surprised at how warm it was. The house had fans in every room, but it was still quite toasty, cooling off finally in early morning.

We live on the Big Island but on the East side so, when looking for a place to stay we needed it in the Kealakekua Bay area. This was perfect for us, it was large enough for all and special treat for us, it was almost next door to our granddaughter and her family. The wedding venue was at a Equestrian Center very close. There is a park and of course the bay within walking distance. All in all it was a great place.

We loved this VRBO! The surroundings are beautiful. Short walk to Captain Cook Cove for fantastic snorkeling and other great activities. Our kids loved exploring for geckos and other wildlife. The house had everything we needed and was very spacious, which was important for our big family. It was a great place to come home to for rest and relaxation after a day of Hawaii adventures. We had several online interactions with the host and in all of which she was extremely prompt in responding, very helpful, and kind. Thank you for helping make our first Hawaii experience a great one!

Property was very clean. It's up in the hills on a windy road about 15-20 minutes out of town. We liked that it was a bit out of the way but in a nice way. We walked 10-15 minutes a came to a little well known snorkeling spot. It's a private property that allows access. I has a nice outside patio next to beautiful plants. Overall, a very nice place.?
