Located in Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary and an ideal spot for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, this 2BR/2BA oceanfront property is lovingly named Kaikanani (the beautiful sea) and sits right on the water’s edge. Look no further, you’ve found your home in paradise!

With breathtaking ocean views from every bedroom, this rental is perfect for a family or group of friends. From the minute you arrive, you’ll feel that laid-back aloha vibe. Enjoy a tropical drink while you grill on the patio by the sea.

Rent kayaks from the vendor next door, go snorkeling, or take a guided tour to learn about the nearby cliff caves. Coffee lovers won’t want to miss a chance to tour a local farm in Kona Coffee Country. Walk just steps to secluded Manini Beach.

ABOUT THE HOME

This plantation-style home boasts hardwood floors, wicker décor, and vaulted ceilings. Open the sliding doors in the living room to enjoy the island breeze and kick back on the sofa, love seat, and two chairs. Play the provided board games or watch a movie on the 32” TV.

Enjoy fresh caught seafood and locally grown tropical fruits. The open kitchen has everything you need to prepare tasty home-cooked fare. Gaze out at the sea while preparing favorite recipes, or make use of the charcoal grill on the patio for a memorable alfresco meal. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the kitchen bar with seating for four, then gather at the six-person dining table—which offers more magnificent views.

After dinner, unwind on the lanai with seating for four and watch for passing dolphins and whales.

All of the bedrooms offer gorgeous ocean views.

The master bedroom -- just off the living room -- has a king bed, vaulted ceilings, and a ceiling fan. Open the sliding glass door to the lanai and listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower. A door to the hall lets this double as a guest bathroom.

The first-floor guest rooms are completely separate from the main living area and are accessed through the garage. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a ceiling fan.

I can’t think of a better experience. The house was well cared for, well kept, and in one of the most special and significant locations in Hawaii. We loved every moment of our family stay. The local property management took great care of us. Highly recommend.

The location is amazing!! We spent a lot of time during our stay on the porch and in the tide pools directly in front of the property. We loved listening to the waves during the night and feeling the sea breeze. Manini beach is a beautiful public beach about a 2 minute walk away. The property is a traditional older Hawaiian house that we found charming and well kept. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the gift package of local treats awaiting our arrival. The cons for the property were for us the heat, as the sun baked the house in the evenings after 6 pm in July, shining directly through the windows. The living room and kitchen don’t have any type of blinds or curtains sadly. There are plenty of fans however that were helpful in cooling things down later in the evening. Of note we booked the property through VRBO but the property is managed through Vacasa. We didn’t get critical checking information and had to go through the Vacasa automated phone tree to get the information. This was inconvenient as we had traveled for 15 hours and arrived in the dark. The living room furniture is a little worn and dated but the kitchen and bathroom are updated nicely.

Don't really want to post about this house because I'd prefer to keep it a secret....it's even nicer than the photos in the listing and we really appreciated the kitchen update this year! New kitchen counters and appliances. Fantastic.

The view is priceless, we used boogie boards and were supplied plenty of towels. The oven is modern and has an air fryer capability. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates and so forth. Area was nice. Very relaxing and plenty of room. Loved how there is a bathroom downstairs for the two guest rooms.

We stayed for three days and really enjoyed the neighborhood, park, and proximity to the ocean. The neighbors were the only downside. There was a massive party on our first night and so we were not able to sleep very well. Party was less than a second night and happily quiet on the third night.
