We loved our stay at the Whale House. The lanai space was spectacular. While we we didn't spend much time inside other than for sleeping, the rental had everything we needed for a lovely vacation.

GORGEOUS HOME WITH OCEAN VIEW
Absolutely beautiful home with amazing view of ocean. Excellent communication from hosts, quick response with any questions we had. Jacuzzi was the cherry on top after a long day of exploring the island. The only suggestion I have is to invest in AC in home as it was extremely hot and humid inside home when we arrived, which was pretty unpleasant. Otherwise, exceptional stay! Would definitely stay again!

Captain Cook Serenity
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for our 38th anniversary. The home was peaceful and away from the tourists. We especially enjoyed the lanai with the hot tub, views, grill and dining table. Other amenities that made our stay better were the washer/dryer, beach gear, and the espresso machine (beans from Kona Joes). We would recommend this lovely home to anyone wanting a peaceful experience with top notch amenities.

Beautiful home overlooking the ocean in a quiet neighborhood. Good communication with the owners. The kitchen was well- equipped for home cooked meals during our trip. There were neighbors downstairs; but you hardly knew they were there. Check in/ out was a breeze. Thank you for having us!

Dreamy View
We had an amazing time staying in this beautiful home. The Lanai had the most stunning view and waking up every morning was just incredible. The house was comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay.
We were in a good location to many beaches, local restaurants and cafes. It is about an hours drive to big, long white sandy beaches but definitely worth it.
I would highly recommend this lovely home!
(Make sure you read all the house rules as no noise allowed after 8pm on the Lanai)

We really loved our 5 night stay in Captain cook. This very spacious, clean and very well equipped top floor appartement has a beautiful view from the Lanai. Communication with the owner was very efficient trough the app. He provided a list with nice things to do and nice places to eat. He let us know that we could check in earlier the same day.

Best place ever
Amazing outdoor living space with spacious open lanai, very comfortable furniture, kitchen was well stocked with quality supplies. The house was extremely well appointed. The notes around the house were very helpful. The young lady living below was very helpful (especially during the brief power outage). We hardly knew that anyone was living in the lower level.

Amazing Property
Outstanding location, with spectacular views to be enjoyed from a huge lanai for the complete Hawaiian experience. Property was exactly as described and extremely well-equipped. A perfect base from which to enjoy the Big Island. Hosts offered some excellent suggestions for beaches, restaurants and activities that truly enhanced our stay. They were also extremely responsive when we had one very minor appliance issue that was fixed within hours of reporting. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough!

Incredible home above the sea
We really enjoyed our stay at this house, especially the peaceful view across the Kona coffee fields down to the ocean. The photos and descriptions in the listing are exactly on-point for this gorgeous place. Communication with the hosts was especially quick and easy. The thing I enjoyed most was that this house has personality -- it's not a generic rental, but a place created by the owners and filled with things they love. 10/10, I wouldn't change a thing.

Captain Cook, Hawaii
I don’t think we could have found a better location. Magnificent unobstructed view from the huge lanai all the way down to the ocean.
Makes you want to stay year round. Owners give a thoroughly detailed set of instructions on how to use the spa/hot tub, espresso maker and other amenities.
My wife and kids celebrated our 35th anniversary in a perfect location. We will remember this trip always.
See you next year!!

The house floor plan is amazing, the view wonderful and the amenities in the house exceeded expectations. We loved the simplicity and functionality of it’s design.
I did enjoy the BBQ and will investigate buying the same make and model at home. The amenities and appliances supplied with the house exceeded expectations
The owners were very accommodating our travel arrangements as things changed and we had a great holiday

Captain Cook Bungalow with Amazing Views
Enjoyed our 3 night stay in Captain Cook with the family. Place was as advertised and owners were extremely to communicate with for checkin, places to eat, and care for the unit.
The place itself was lovely, a cute bungalow with a spectacular 2nd floor lanai with sensational views. Unit itself had a weird layout quirk (pass thru bathrooms to access bedrooms), but was very clean and comfortable with a terrific main great room.
Location was dynamite to go to Volcanoes NP for a day trip as well as kayaking in Kealakekua Bay and snorkeling with manta rays in Kailua. Feels like an oasis / jungle retreat with the birds and frogs at night which we loved.
Would recommend for sure.

Great stay.
Very nice property. The views are outstanding. The lanai was wonderful. Great location for 2 couples as the bedrooms have a nice separation and each has their own bath as well as direct access to the lanai. The only negatives are: The washing machine is 2 floors down and therefore not real convenient. There isn't a dining table inside, just bar stools. Also the kitchen living area had a very confusing lighting system. It took us quite a while just to figure how to turn the lights off. But overall, these are minor in and otherwise great house.

Spectacular view!
We stayed on the second floor of this lovely property. When entering the front door, one is awed by the incredible view awaiting them-a view that greets them from the kitchen, living room, and both bedrooms throughout the day.
The place is tastefully decorated so as not to detract from, but rather to enhance the view. We loved dining and relaxing on the lanai that has plentiful and comfortable furniture along with the hot tub.
The kitchen was very well stocked, enabling us to prepare many delicious meals, and we enjoyed using the expresso machine.
The location of the property is great! Even with another party staying on the first floor it was private and quiet (except for the neighbors’ roosters) yet it’s close to recreational activities and the owners were great about sharing ideas for fun adventures. I recommend this property!

Awesome Lanai and View!
We definitely enjoyed this beautiful home and spent countless hours on the lanai from the top unit. The view of the ocean and tropical hills is incredible. The well stocked kitchen with grill made dinners and breakfast relaxing and convenient. The home was perfect for our visit. The layout provided open views from each room but also privacy for each couple with the bedrooms and bathrooms on each end. The hot tub was a nice perk as well.
Good location, close to Kailua-Kona for shopping and night time entertainment. We also spent a couple afternoons snorkeling at Honaunau Bay (2-steps) only 10-15 minute drive. Great snorkeling spot with spectacular coral seabeds and hundreds of multi-colored fish.
I would definitely recommend this rental home to others and I would strongly consider staying again when visiting the big isle. I'm missing the lanai and view already.

Beautiful Home in a Relatively Quiet Neighborhood
Residence was well-designed for two couples, with separate bedrooms and attached bathrooms located on opposite ends of the top floor. Kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glassware, and utensils as well as some supplies. View from the lanai was really impressive although weather in January is often cloudy with some rain in the evening hours. Used the hot tub a couple of times and the Weber grill once - both were in good shape. Ample supple of towels and stuff for the beach. Used the washer and dryer without any issues. Did not use the TV, but Internet access was very fast and reliable. Keep in mind that Hawai'i is known for free-range chickens and the roosters definitely remided us of that every morning! This home is really ideal for two couples on vacation to the Big Island.

Amazing Place
The top floor of the white whale is beautiful. Caretaker/Renter lives downstairs (separate entrance). The place is just like it is shown in the photos. The owner does require a separate contract from the VRBO contract and a copy of your DL. Both were requested while we were already traveling and created quite a bit of communication taking away from our enjoyment of our vacation (Not much being in the moment when you are worried about the next rental.).
The house rules are so strict with detailed penalties for all possible infraction that after we got to the house I was worried about being charged for damages that we did not cause for example: inventory stickers are everywhere but the inventory does not match the stickers, hot tub had some sand, wood floor has existing water damage and there was fresh water on the floor by the dishwasher. I ended up sending pictures and advised about issues for the first part of our stay so we would not get charged. It all turned out ok in the end but I felt uncomfortable in the house because the owner does not trust his guests. We have stayed in many vacation rental properties, have always followed the house rules and always try to leave the place better than when we arrived but here I was walking on eggshells.
Flow through ventilation is excellent but bring ear plugs. Roosters will have you up at dark thirty.

Photos don’t do this property justice
Excellent property that is just not fully done justice to with the online listing photos. 5* throughout. Only slight issue I felt was a little over the top, was all the instruction labels on walls, doors , light switches etc. “ clean shower with, squidgy, due to water and mould” “shower before using hot tub or risk being charged 150$” just took edge off the stay, as sometimes you felt unable to relax as there was instructions everywhere. I appreciate this is a lovely property and you want to protect your investment, but instructions like “don’t play tv after 10pm with door to balcony open or police will be called and you will be evicted without refund” is a little over the top, possibly the lady downstairs “ the caretaker for this property” is the one that would call the police if you did break this curfew? I would recommend this property to anyone who is in town and wants an amazing property, comfy beds, great kitchen appliances, would give it 4.5/5 only because of excessive instruction labels. Thanks for a lovely stay and all the prompt responses.
Improvements that could possibly be made, some draws at side of master bed, and the lengthy agreement that is required to be signed should be sent before the cancellation and refund policy has long expired, to have to spend nearly an hour of my vacation reading a lengthy legal document only two days before I check in, isn’t my idea of relaxation and would have cancelled my booking as soon as I saw it if in the able to cancel period, as I’ve seen shorter legal documents for purchasing a property let alone a short term
Holiday let!

Aloha! We have been coming to this magical Island of Hawaii for 20 years. We first visited Hawaii to attend a Dolphin course, and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had, beyond words. The Big Island and the area around Kealakekua Bay has been our choice even though we have traveled to the other Hawaiian Islands and around the world. The weather, the ocean, the people, the diversity, the Hawaiian spirit and the Dolphins have always called us back." E komo mai" please welcome to our house.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The Kealakekua Bay area has always been our top pick of places on the Big Island. It's green, lush and beautiful and you can still feel the old Hawaiian culture. It's the best location for snorkeling, adventure, scuba diving and to watch wild dolphins.
この宿泊施設の特徴
It is a new home with everything you could possibly need including a breathtaking view of the ocean and the mountains. The extra-large (1100 sq. ft; 100 square meters) lanai is what makes this house very special. It’s perfect for outdoor entertainment.
