We had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Manor, the views are amazing night and day. The outside living area is compact but adequate for the 12 of us. especially with the doors that open to the lanai from the living room. Lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance since parking is expensive and tight.

The property was so beautiful and just right for our extended family. Enjoyed the fabulous sunsets, the sound of the waves, and the proximity to restaurants, the farmers markets, and beaches. Hosts were super welcoming and helpful. Really appreciated their information.

This is the perfect location for your stay in Kona! Dolphin Manor was within a 15 minute walk of downtown Kona and a 30 minute drive of five different beaches that we explored. During our stay, we also were able to drive to the north point of the island to visit Havi and Akaka Falls. In addition to the perfect location, this home has every amenity you could need during your stay. Just show up and have a great week! There is an awesome kitchen, which we used every day on our long stay over Thanksgiving. All of the cooking utensils and amenities were present. We also enjoyed fantastic sunsets every night from the soaking pool and back area. We recommend this property to anyone traveling to the big island. A fantastic home away from home. Love, love, love.

Ample space for adults, toddlers and teens. Clean. Great views right off the ocean. Kitchen had every appliance we needed with lots of frig. space. Double washer & dryer made it easy to keep beach towels and clothes clean. Easy access to trolley to tour downtown shops and access the beach. Ideal spot for large family gathering. Pool not as big as I thought but turned out ok since we had little ones

We had a great time and we would rent the property again if visiting with family. The only thing to keep in mind with large groups is the shortage of hot water for showers. All else is top notch. You can get over the hot water shortage. 🌺

First let me start off by saying we have been to Kona many times and each time we rent a home so the whole family can enjoy and reunite. Typically when we do so a few of the family members draw the short straw with a tiny dated bedroom, not with this house! The bedrooms are spacious, well equipped and most of them feature an incredible ocean view! Not to mention that they all have independently controlled air conditioning and attached bathrooms! Our favorite part of the home was the location, it was close to everything we visited. Especially restaurants, we walked to Huggos on the Rocks and it was less than 10 minutes away! We especially loved the back "Lanai" to BBQ and watching the kids playing in the pool was amazing. The parents were able to take turns keeping an eye on the kids while the others enjoyed Moscow Mules with the provided copper cups! On the days we stayed home and prepared meals at the property we were happily surprised to find a very well stocked kitchen and ample space for 5 of us to participate in meal preparation. Lastly as I mentioned we've stayed in a number of places on the Island and found this home to be the cleanest of the lot which was greatly appreciated!
