Fabulous furnishings and upgrades to this already beautiful house. Here is the base of operation for your Big Island adventure. Mika Kai is a beautiful oceanfront home in a tropical Hawaiian setting. It sits on lava bluff about 15 feet above the crashing waves. The oceanfront pool, hot tub and huge lanai give you a private resort all your own. This beautifully decorated home is not your ordinary vacation rental. Each bedroom is like your own hotel room, with en-suite private bath.
Fully fenced and gated, it has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 stories, over 3000 square feet, and right on the blue Pacific. This is a super comfortable home for your family group. The layout of the house is: 4 spacious Bedrooms – all 4 ensuite, each with its own private bathroom. The bedrooms are situated as such: downstairs has a master suite with a King Bed and a Japanese soak tub; a second bedroom downstairs has 2 Twin Beds. Upstairs has 2 more bedrooms both with Queen Beds. A second living room that works as an office area is located upstairs. This area is open to downstairs, very dramatic. On the main level, under the soaring ceilings, you will find an expansive living room with lots of comfortable seating, a large fully stocked and equipped modern kitchen, a dining room with seating for 8, a 5th bathroom with shower. A washing machine and clothes dryer including laundry soap for your use.
At Mika Kai you will find guidebooks, Hawaii reef fish identification books, Big Island picture books, up-to-date pamphlets, and insider tips on secrets only known to the locals. Yet you may find that you wish to just sit on the lanai at Mika Kai and never leave. That’s okay too. For your enjoyment, we have beach towels, and various water flotation items. Pack your swimsuits and come on over!
You will love the surrounding nature and the natural beauty of the area. Volcano National Park is approximately 45 minutes away. Great snorkeling is about 20 minutes. Waterfalls, nature hikes, champagne pond, steam vent caves, black sand beaches, surfing & boogie boarding, botanical gardens and scenic drives through rainforest are all nearby. Hilo is the second largest city in the Hawaiian Islands. This is old Hawaii at its natural best. The whale watching from November through March from Mika Kai's huge lanai is some of the best you'll find in all the Islands.

Kitchen had all essentials. The hot tub and pool were perfect. Each bedroom had a bathroom, super helpful. The view was absolutely breathtaking. We were literally right on the ocean. Loved the house!!
Great location right on the ocean front. The weather wasn’t too kind to us but we watched whales from the house and the waves crashing up along the coast. All the facilities we needed.
We stayed at Mina Kai while visiting with family on Hawai'i island. The location was perfect for exploring all that east Hawai'i has to offer and the house had ample room for our extended family. The sunrises were absolutely beautiful. Mahalo
Aloha Michael
Thanks for coming and staying with us at Mika kai
I am so glad you had a wonderful time .
We welcome you back as guests anytime. You are a five star ⭐️ client
Absolutely wonderful fun and clean place to spend time with my family. We were a party of 6 and there was plenty of space to spread out and move around. Kitchen gave us a much needed break from eating out as it was well stocked and a pleasure to cook in. The view is stunning and being able to just walk out the back door and stand on the cliffs and watch the ocean sprays was the best. Each room had its own bathroom and AC unit which was great for giving us some privacy and kept our bedrooms nice and cool to sleep in. Would highly recommend for any group stay and will definitely look forward to staying there again!
Loved the home! Small glitches with codes for access, but property management was easy to get in touch with and easily solved.

Very nice and roomy place to stay for our vacation
Our group had a great time at the house. The view was fantastic and we had great sunrises. The pool and the hot tub were very nice and we had it all to ourselves. Nice big kitchen for cooking and outdoor grilling. Great place for a vacation!!
We loved staying on the Hilo side of Hawaii and this home's location was great. We saw whales and porpoise from the deck. We loved the home and being right on the shoreline.

Beautiful Home!
Mika Kai was amazing, beautiful home situated on a spectacular stretch of coastline! The home is very comfortable and well appointed, was the perfect place for relaxation after our long days sightseeing and adventuring!
We loved our stay at this VRBO, we are a family of 7 that fit comfortably in this home. The house was clean and organized. We enjoyed great views of the ocean. I recommend you stay here.
