Om overnatningsstedet

Gå 3 minutter for at svømme i Kealakekua Bay med delfiner

En egen verden. Fred, fred og VOG er længe væk. Dette er min primære bopæl. Jeg lejer gæstelejligheden i stueetagen. Du kan gå på tværs af gaden for at komme ind i Kealakekua Bay (alias Dolphin Bay), hvor du svømmer i det nærende krystallinske blå vand på Hawaii og ofte med delfiner. Jeg kan se det klare blå vand fra min stue hver dag. Eller gå 5 minutter den anden retning for at snorkle / svømme, nyde mange arter af havfisk, skildpadder på Manini-stranden. Sov til vuggevise for havbølger. To andre elskede svømmepladser, Honaunau National Park ligger 10 minutter, og County Park Ho'okena ligger 20 minutters kørsel væk. Min Ohana (gæstelejlighed) er rummelig (700 s. F. = 65 kvm) plus en 10 x 10 havudsigt udelukkende til gæster. Det har et soveværelse med en god queensize-seng med bomuldssengetøj. I stuen, 2 futons, som hver trækker ud til en komfortabel seng i fuld størrelse. Tekøkken har mere køkkengrej, end du nogensinde vil bruge. Mit sted er kemisk frit. Jeg vil hjælpe dig på enhver mulig måde, så du nyder din tid på Big Island. den bogførte pris er for 2 personer pr. dag. Hver ekstra beboer er $ 50 pr. Dag. Dine spørgsmål er velkomne når som helst. Jeg er lige begyndt at registrere på dette websted i maj, så der er få anmeldelser. Jeg har modtaget mange 5-stjernede anmeldelser på airbnb, den anden populære ferieudlejning, spørg mig.

If you are considering this property, be advised to read all the fine print in the descriptions. We noted afterwards that the high ratings given to this bnb all refer to the area and activities (snorkeling, dolphins, etc), but do not offer much about the space you will be staying.We found it uncomfortable to stay there. It's good as a crash pad. If you plan to hang closer to home and don't mind clutter in your outdoor relax area, footsteps and voices overhead, the need ask for soap/shampoo, dirty barbecue, noisy water heater,dim indoor space, this will be fine. In discussing these items with the host, she did provide soap/shampoo and offered to clean the bbq.

This is a beach property. During 12 years of hosting, hundreds of guests have thoroughly enjoyed my home. You arrived on a cloudy day and that's why it was dim indoor. Over 20 ft of windows in the living room provide plenty of sun and sea breeze on 98% of the days. The BBQ grill was clean but not "like new", Dozens of guests have praised and enjoyed their times on the deck with ocean view. But you chose to turn around and look at the swim gear stored on the backside. Some guests had even left a "tip" for the cleaner. I have many guests who left "love notes" which I will post one in my pictures. I wish you find your happiness. Aloha.

If you want to experience a true Hawaiian vacation away from the hustle of Kona, this is the place to come. The best bay on the island for snorkeling is only steps away. And yes...there are dolphins who swim into the bay while you are snorkeling! We had a wonderful vacation! Thank you Alice for sharing your homegrown fruit with us!

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay here quite a lot. It’s very down to earth, and the hostess Alice is very eco-conscious which lined up well with our priorities. The papayas were in season while we were there, and Alice encouraged us to pick our own, right from the tree. The location is awesome and there is a fair amount of water gear (for snorkeling, etc.) available at the house. We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to be back again some day!!

Great Vacation Spot

We enjoyed our stay at Alice's property. The location is great, just a short stroll to the beach. You can lock the door without needing keys, allowing you to go to the beach with only beach stuff. The area is very quiet and peaceful. It is close enough to grocery stores by car. Alice is a great host and her cat Lula is the best. We saw dolphins on our first day. Both Alice and her neighbours shared fresh fruit and vegetables with us, which was amazing.

A short walk to Manini Beach. Fifteen minute drive to good coffee shop, South Kona fruit stand, City of Refuge and Two Step for snorkeling. Shopping center nearby. Quiet neighborhood (with regards to people). We enjoyed the birds and frog sounds at night (windows are screens/shutters, not glass windows). Be prepared for ants and large centipedes (the host did mention them in her guide, but we didn’t realize how large or what to do about the centipedes). Washer broke during our stay. Kitchen had the essential cooking tools, bowls, hot plates, microwave and toaster oven, fridge/freezer. You do have to be careful using too many cooking appliances at once - we tripped the breaker.The host was responsive to issues.

Glad you enjoyed your stay:) I did not include "how to handle a centipede" in my guest information because there really isn't a good way to handle a centipede. I sprayed the perimeter of the house every six months. Therefore any centipede that comes inside is compromised. The best is to use a broom to sweep it outside. The unit has all new wiring in 2023. I put the microwave and toaster oven on separate circuits. I am still trying to figure out what you used to trip the breaker. Aloha.

Delightful stay

This is a great off-the-beaten path place. It’s rustic but comfortable with 2 beaches in walking distance. Alice, the host, is delightful and readily available if there are any issues. She even invites guests to pick ripe papaya from her trees. Everything was nicely clean and well stocked. As a bonus there’s a great snorkeling beach about a 10 minute drive away. Bring water shoes! Everything is rocky. Make sure you stop at a market before you arrive because there are very few grocery options in Captain Cook. Overall, a great stay and experience.

Perfect location

Property location was great. We wanted to do a lot of diving near hunounou and this made it possible. We had 3 adults and it was more than enough room. Our only complaint was the shower. The shower curtain needs to be replaced with something that can dry out more easily (with humidity it never dried). The drain catch moves too easily so it doesn't catch hair ( I had to clean out the drain). Otherwise, it's just as advertised. Great location and the rooms were very clean! I loved the window slats. Alice was always friendly and easy to talk to during the whole trip! Would definitely book again!

Amazing location - close to Kealakekua Bay and just a short drive to Honaunau (Two Step). We saw an incredible variety of marine life, including turtles, mantas, octopus, dolphins, eagle rays, eels, and more.The accommodations were simple, comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We cooked meals using the toaster oven and induction burner, and loved picking up local goodies: coffee, fresh fruit, banana bread, and poke from nearby farmstands and shops.The bed was medium-firm, and the sheets and coverlet were especially soft and cozy. The sounds of tropical nightlife (especially the Coqui frogs) can be loud, so if you're a light sleeper, white noise or earplugs help and I slept very well. Even on warmer nights, the fans and louvered windows kept the space cool and private. We never needed to use the AC. If you're seeking luxury or vibrant nightlife, this might not be the right fit. But if your ideal trip includes snorkeling, kayaking, and the occasional drive to volcanoes or up north, this is a fantastic place to stay. Thanks again, Alice!

Little Slice of Heaven

This rental is really about two things: the location and the host. It is like staying with your favourite aunt. Alice lives upstairs and therefore you will bump into her. While not intrusive in the least, she will insure you have everything you need, offer you fresh fruit from her trees (the bananas and avocados were great), and offer to take you for a morning swim with the dolphins (while obeying all the rules of course). The location is beautiful we kayaked the bay twice, once with a tour and once by ourselves. As good as the tour was, going by ourselves was even better since we could snorkel as long as we wanted. Speaking of which, it is a short drive to Two-Step (we went to the right and down the shore a klick or so). Even the dive from Manini Beach around the point to Grandma's Beach where the kayak rental is set up was pretty good. The sunsets from Manini were spectacular, we even saw the green flash once. A hidden treasure was Ke'ei beach. Getting there in our small SUV was no problem. Special shout out to Fred - gardener and raconteur extraordinaire. Be sure you read the listing and look at the pictures. There is a outdoor barbeque, but it often rains in the evening. There is an induction hot plate, rather than a full stove, but I still made great meals with it. There is no dishwasher and the sink is a laundry tub in the laundry room, but it was not a big deal. There are great restaurants and grocery stores with delis 11 minutes up the highway. The road is narrow and windy, but two lane and perfectly safe. Finally, because it is a screened ground floor unit in the tropics there will inevitably be a few bugs. The evenings it didn't rain little gnats or midges would get in attracted to the light. They don't bite but they do die during the night so they had to be swept up in the mornings. There were some tiny ants which could be dealt with by the vinegar spray provided. There was only 1 other bug observed. In all it was a very special time and I cannot thank Alice enough for her hospitality. PS we did see dolphins every day.

Cozy stay near Captain Cook's Monument

We enjoyed our stay and loved being able to walk just a couple of minutes down the road to the water where we enjoyed the beautiful views and our son played on the rocks, exploring tide pools. We especially loved the resident cats who were very friendly. Alice had lots of good tips and it was a treat to eat papayas from her yard. It's just a short drive to Honaunau Bay where the snorkeling is fabulous. Kayaks can be rented nearby for a trip to Captain Cook's Monument. There are also many coffee plantations to explore within a few minutes drive. The rental is small and nicely ventilated with many levered windows. We found the bed to be very comfortable and our son slept well on the futon. It was pleasant to hear the frogs at night and the birds in the morning. Because there isn't a full kitchen, we had simple meals for breakfast and lunch and then drove to town (only about 15 minutes) for dinner. We don't care for resort vacations and find it fun to see how the locals live so this rental was a good fit for us.

Wonderful trip

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s a lovely neighborhood and it is quiet. If you are looking for a different experience than a resort stay, I highly recommend it. We had amazing snorkeling at Two Step down the street, sea kayaked to Captain Cook across the bay with Hawaiian outfitters Aloha Kayak, and hiked a lava tube near Kileaua (which is a drive but worth it). Alice is a kind and attentive host. Aloha!

Extremely disappointing; p

This property falls far short of the standards to which we have become accustomed for VRBO properties. The grounds look like Tobacco Road. The interior is not particularly clean or well maintained. The kitchen has no sink and no running water, let alone a dishwasher. To wash dishes you have to take them to the laundry room and wash them in the laundry room sink. There is no stove only two hot plates not usable simultaneously as you will blow a circuit. The living space is on the ground floor with no view other than the cluttered exterior of the house. The location is unfortunate to say the least. It requires a thirty minute drive to get to Kailua-Kona where you can find decent restaurants, shops and food stores. Coming home from dinner requires a long descent down a narrow, dark, switch-back road to get to the house. We stayed one night and then left. I would recommend you not book this property at all

My passion is to make people happy and I had achieved it consistently by renting to vacationers part of my ocean front condo on Hilton Head Island and the Ohana (guest apartment) of my house here on the Big Island. Here in Kealakekua Bay, I took many guests to their first dolphin or manta ray encounter. My house and Kealakekua Bay area are not manicured like a Resort. The location is clearly indicated. Everything about my Ohana is just as I listed. Over the last 8 years, I have had about 200 short term and mid-term guests who are delighted for having stayed with me. I wish you pleasant journeys. with Aloha, Alice

Kealakekua Bay Vacation

This is an awesome property right across the street from Kealakekua Bay. The ideal location to relax and enjoy the spectacular ocean life in the Bay. Alice is an outstanding host who is very responsive to any requests. She is full of information on local beaches and the best places to see dolphins and whales. Manini Beach is less than a 10 minute walk from the house and is a quiet secluded area to relax and watch the waves and the sunset. Several remote beaches ideal for sunbathing and snorkeling are within a 10 minute drive. The Big Island is our favorite place to vacation and this house is the best place to relax and rewind in the constant Hawaiian sun. Definitely coming back to see Alice and the bay.

The relaxation we were looking for!

We swam and searched for dolphins every morning. No luck this time, but we will be back! Thank you, Alice - wonderful experience for our holidays!

Great stay by the bay!

We couldn't be happier with our VRBO choice for our stay on the Big Island. The unit was spacious and comfortable and well-equipped, and just steps away from Kealakekua Bay. Hard to beat for snorkeling, and host Alice has a special relationship with the dolphins. Our first morning there she introduced us to a large pod of them plus a manta ray! (We were lucky with our timing.) Another great snorkeling spot, Honaunau Bay or 2-Step, is a very short drive to the south. Highly recommended for a quiet getaway to enjoy the Hawaiian waters!

Great base camp for paddling, snorkeling, relaxing

I felt very safe and relaxed under the current coronavirus crisis because the place was very clean, very ventilated, and the owner could tell me exactly who had been there and how long ago. In general, this is a great, practical location for paddling and snorkeling in Kealakekua - I wish I had been able to stay longer to explore the neighborhood.

Om værten

Vært: Alice Tobin

Værtens profilbillede
I live a dream life. During my first visit in March 2017, I felt in love with Kealakekua Bay and its dolphins, so I moved here later that year. I love humpback whales who visits us in the winter, and I love the crystal blue water here in this Bay. The energies at this Bay is incredible. I lived on the east cost, USA for 44 years. I am a practitioner of Eden Method-Energy Medicine and Sound Healing, working just a few hours now- saving most of my time for water activities and experiencing the spectacular Big Island. . There is beauty around every corner here! My boy-cat, Om lives here with me. He stays mostly indoor.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

When I decided to move to the Big Island, I knew exactly where I want to live. Here in Kealakekua Bay so that I can be in the water by walking across the street, or walk 5 minutes down the street. I walk 5 minutes the other direction to Manini Beach-a local favorite. There is no commercials once you are down here, yet go ten minutes uphill you'll find all that you need. I am very fortunate to have purchased this house, 200 feet from the ocean, just two months after I arrived Kona in 2017.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

I will let you know when dolphins come in during most mornings. Or where to see Manta Ray, Eagle Ray during the day! If you love water, the sound of the surf or bird songs, you'll love it here. Note: my tap water from Hawaii County measures at 7.0pH. I installed a filter and water energizer at the main water line. You will be properly hydrated while you're out in the sun.
