We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at the Manini Beachfront Getaway. The location was perfect for accessing some of the best snorkeling on the island and the views were impeccable. The house was stocked with the essentials (and a few fun nonessentials like art supplies and outdoors equipment!) and clean upon arrival. For the one appliance that we did have issues with during our stay, Maintenance was fantastic and so easy to work with. Thank you! Our stay was unforgettable. To all those who do consider booking in the future, do keep in mind that there’s no AC. It can get quite warm sometimes on the island, but fortunately they have an assortment of fans!

Highly recommend this place. Beautiful house overlooking the bay. Very short distance to beach park with incredible snorkeling. Has a local vibe after driving down very curvy road to the bottom of mountain.

First time staying in a VRBO. Wonderful experience. The home was beautiful, the location amazing. Oceanfront views out the front, with dolphins each morning in the bay. Jungle and tropical atmosphere in the back. A perfect escape! Very private and quiet (except for the birds each morning -lol!) Property was well-maintained and very clean. Communication with the property manager via text was very convenient and they replied very quickly to my questions. I would definetly go back to this property!

We traveled to Hawaii for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and stayed here for 4 days. This is a great old house that has been nicely upgraded and has a lot of character. One of the bathrooms and one bedroom are only accessible from outside, which confused us at first but they were all clean. The house sits right on the bay and allows you to really open it up to let the breezes blow through. That made it comfortable through most of the day. The kitchen was well-appointed and clean. There is a great kayak rental place around the corner (Ehu and Kai's) which allows you to put in right from the bay rather than having to rent a kayak further up the hill and driving it down. They were very nice. There's also a small park nearby and a well-stocked fruit stand. The gardner gave us a great tip on a secluded sandy beach a short drive away (look up Ke'ei Beach) that was completely empty and had tons of coconut palms and tide pools to explore. The house is also not too far from a well-stocked supermarket just up the hill and is a short drive from Kona but far enough away to feel like you're out of the city. We had a great time and highly recommend this rental! Thank you for having us.

The home is nestled in a quiet area of the Big Island where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of Kealakehua bay. It's just steps away from the bay where you can watch the dolphins, snorkel, kayak, and take in stunning sunsets. The home is absolutely beautiful with custom finishes throughout. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and there's even a barbeque on the back porch. The back porch has a large dining table and is surrounded by beautiful vegetation that screens out any neighbors so you feel like you're in your own private retreat. Other perks were the kayaks and beach toys. The host was great about checking in with us to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. This is the place to stay if you want to stay in a beautiful home in a gorgeous setting where you can unwind. I would definitely book here again

We normally don’t leave reviews, but this house made our vacation. The house was in a great location, very spacious (was very comfortable for 8 people), and well stocked. It had boogie boards, kayaks, beach chairs, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the perfect view of the ocean from the lanai and we were lucky enough to see dolphins. The back lanai was the perfect place to enjoy listening to the frogs and birds while surrounded by beautiful greenery. There was no traffic noise, just sounds of nature and the ocean waves. Snorkeling in the bay was amazing. Luke was great to deal with. We definitely will book this house again if we are fortunate enough to return.

This was a great place for us to stay and enjoy to the fullest. House has everything you need and wish for. Location is the best! You can enjoy ocean view while drinking coffee or preparing dinner. My favorite part was you get the ocean view in the front and garden view in the back. We watched dolphins play from the balcony while preparing breakfast. We saw turtles at the bay, enjoyed the most beautiful sunset which is steps away. Snorkeling is one of the best on the island by the monument. We had our scuba diving gear so we were able to enjoy the ocean even more. We loved the place and plan to come back. This will always be our dolphins house. Thank you for lifetime memories!

Close beach access just a few min walk away!! Made it really easy to get other go for the day or go back and fourth to the house through the day! Beautiful sunsets! Very relaxing!
