About this property

Oceanfront Hot Tub! Kayaks! Snorkeling! Dolphins! WEDDINGS WELCOME!

NO EXTRA COSTS for early check-in and late check-out in the TRUE SPIRIT OF ALOHA if it is possible with the property caretaker/housekeeper.
Dolphin Naia Kai Hale! Absolutely beautiful location. WEDDINGS WELCOME! Adventure Location...Kayaking...Dolphins...Snorkeling #1 Rated all Hawaii.

This hale (hale means home) with a breathtaking view has 270 feet of prime ocean frontage directly on the magnificent and historic Kealakekua Bay. This is the property CLOSEST to the Captain Cook monument. Guests can enjoy the #1 rated snorkeling in ALL HAWAII in Kealakekua Bay. There is naturally swimming & kayaking in this exquisite and natural marine conservation area. The bay is often frequented by spinner dolphins and whales during the late winter whale migration season. The open and airy hale (home) may make you feel like you are at sea and truly part of the bay. The ocean side hot tub sits right at the ocean’s edge. At low tide, there is swimming the cove right in front of the home and may even spot the resident sea turtles.

Kealakekua Bay is a protected marine preserve and is considered by local residents to be THE BEST snorkeling experience in Hawaii. Discover for yourself by taking one of the 2 seat kayaks or single seat kayaks across the bay to Captain Cook’s Monument. The kayak launch is at the property RIGHT NEXT DOOR and the kayaks can be reserved for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

This is truly an adventure vacation location. This property is perfect for retreats, small weddings and small group gatherings. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths which sleeps 10 guests comfortably and more if needed with flexible bedding.

Also a incredibly unique location for a wedding and reception! Oceanfront yard for the outdoor event(s) and the bride and groom and Ohana can enjoy the view of the ocean and just imagine wedding pictures with dolphins in the background! No backbreaking event fee! Just double the housekeeping fee for the housekeeper in the spirit of Aloha. For weddings 7 night stays are appropriate.
