Rental Details
Property Overview
Okika Lani is a spectacular oceanfront estate on the south end of Kealakekua Bay, combining a luxurious main home with a separate two-bedroom guest cottage. The main residence, designed in traditional Hawaiian style, features vaulted ceilings, a spacious great room, a gourmet kitchen, screened lanais, and a master suite with spa-like bath and soaking tub. Steps from the patio lead to a private pool, lush gardens, and unobstructed views of the Captain Cook Monument and Ke'ei Beach, where spinner dolphins often play in the bay. The guest cottage, accessed through a tropical courtyard, offers one king bedroom, one twin bedroom, a shared bath, and a private screened lanai, ensuring comfort and privacy for additional guests.
'Okika Lani sits at the south end of Kealakekua Bay on a private road with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, the Captain Cook Monument, and crescent shaped, white sand Ke'ei Beach.
Enter the gate at 'Okika Lani and walk into an inner courtyard of Bamboo Palms, orchids, and tropical landscaping. Follow the path to the main house. A reclining Buddha resides on the entry table and greets all visitors when they walk through the front door. High ceilings, an open floor plan, and the sound of waves breaking against the shoreline beckon visitors into this spectacular Hawaiian home.
A wall of glass and sliding doors opens from the central great room onto a tiled porch. It's just a few steps down to the patio, private pool, lawn, magnificent bay and ocean views. Watch the morning dive boats anchor across the Bay at the Captain Cook Monument while taking your local Kona coffee and fresh papaya by the pool. Or marvel at the resident pod of Spinner Dolphins leaping and cavorting in the pristine waters while no one else is around to see.
'Okika Lani was designed by an award winning architect in the traditional Hawaiian style of post and beam construction, vaulted ceilings, and a spacious, open floor plan. A large kitchen, great room, and beautiful master suite all grace this stunning home. Screened lanais on both ends of the house offer airy opportunities for private dining or simply relaxing out of the tropical sun. A substantial master bath boasts oversize shower, walk in closets, soaking tub, and skylights.
A separate guest cottage, accessed from the inner courtyard, also features two bedrooms (one bedroom with a king size bed the other bedroom with two ex long twin beds), shared bath, screened lanai, ceiling fans, and guest privacy.
'Okika Lani represents the epitome of elegance and seclusion amid the splendid tropical setting of Kealakekua Bay. The home's orientation to the sun and the sea make every sunset a picture perfect centerpiece for the perfect day. In the evening, try to catch the green flash of sunset, from the pool, lanai, or great room, and sip the perfect maitai at the end of a perfect day in paradise.
Aloha and Enjoy.

I am writing to express how much we enjoyed our stay at your property. Everyone in our group absolutely loved the house.The spectacular ocean views from both the house and the pool were a highlight, and the privacy of the location was perfect—especially for practicing yoga while listening to the surf crash on the lava rocks.Thank you for being such a fantastic host. We appreciated how quickly you responded to our questions and accommodated our group.We highly recommend the property and hope to come back again someday.
Private paradise!
We had a fantastic trip and the house was perfect, great location, awesome pool and backyard, and unreal sunsets. The house had everything a family of 5 (2 parents and 3 teenage girls) could need. We would 100% stay here again.
Absolutely amazing stay! The home and the property were awesome. Could not ask for a better week on the Big Island. Would definitely visit again.
It is without question the most well stocked house we have stayed in. The owner has thought of everything. It is peaceful, tranquil a truly amazing Hawaiian experience. There is no question we will be back.
This was our 3rd time staying at Okika Lani. It is a beautiful home and location in the amazing Kealekekua Bay area. Great for a family vacation.
Fabulous place to stay!!
We were fortunate enough to stay here and it was Awesome! Not only is it a great house with a cool design for sea breezes but the pool and ocean views made this place special. You could not position yourself anymore centered on Sunsets! Highly recommend this home and the host. Very helpful and great straightforward communication. Check this place out! You won't be disappointed.
Loved the pool
This was the perfect location for complete rest and relaxation! We could see whales and dolphins from the back patio and the beaches were within walking distance. The sunsets from this spot were a great way to close out each day. Main house and guest house were exceptional.
That says it all.
We had the most amazing stay at this home! It was quiet and absolutely beautiful. We want to stay again!! Highly recommend
Lovely upscale home right on water’s edge of Kealakekua Bay. Expansive bedroom and bath in the house; additional two bedrooms with single bath in detached cottage. Fifteen minute walk to sandy beach. Nearby kayak rentals for excursions to Captain Cook‘s Monument. Nicely remote with minimal tourist activity in the area—a good 30 min drive to nearest groceries, restaurants, shopping, etc. Overall, gorgeous and tranquil Hawaiian experience. Would stay again.
After many years using VRBO, including other vacation rentals on the Big Island, we have to say that this was our BEST VRBO experience ever. The house is architecturally gorgeous, with the porch looking out onto a perfectly manicured lawn, swimming pool and onto one of our favorite bodies of water in the world, Kealakekua bay. You can see Captain Cook Monument and we woke up to dolphins swimming in front most days. The property is located in a private community and is hence very protected and quiet. Kealakekua bay is 3 min down the road and Two Step is 15 min the other way. What really made the experience special was the host and owner, Chrissy. She made the whole stay super welcoming, and went out of her way to help us with a few minor issues that cropped up. She was super responsive to our questions and texts throughout the week. As it happened, Hurricane Hone was on track to hit the Big Island exactly the evening when our flight was due to leave! Chrissy even generously offered to let us stay another night if we were stranded! Fortunately thanks to majestic Mauna Kea’s shelter, we managed to get out on time, reluctantly leaving paradise behind. Our deepest thanks and Mahalo to you and your family Chrissy, for allowing us the privilege of staying at your stunning property and for being so generous and welcoming!
Lovely home; however, A/C with doors shut all time in bedrooms were good….no AC in rest of house with open windows did not sufficiently cool living area. Guest cottage has no view and to access bathroom you had to walk out on porch. Bathroom in guest cottage had no AC.. very warm even with widows open Perfect house for 1 couple…
So happy the owners are willing to let us stay in this spectacular unique mid century modern Hawaiian home. Architecture is welcoming and unique. This is our third visit. Kitchen upgrades have been made but do not diminish the quality of this home. Just Love this home. Pure serenity. Amazing experience.
