Perfectly located getaway just above historical Kealakekua Bay, ranked as #11 by CNN as the world's best-snorkeling destinations and #1 among the Hawaii islands. Yet close to Kona in a beautiful and quiet area with the old Hawaiian feeling. Just minutes away from beaches, snorkeling, restaurants, supermarket, cafes, banks, hospital and more. It is situated in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.
The airport is 6 miles north of Kailua-Kona. Our house is perfectly located 14 miles south of Kailua-Kona. As a reference, Kona Paradise which may save you a few dollars is another 12 miles or a 25-minute drive south of our house further away from Kailua-Kona.
Our newly built LUXURY house has 2300 sq. ft. (215 sq. m.) living area including a covered lanai and is super comfortable with everything you can possibly need including a hot tub on the lanai and breathtaking 180-degree view of the ocean and the mountain.
Half of the 2300 sq. ft. living space consists of a covered lanai, great for enjoying your morning espresso while watching the sun climbing over the mountain top, or watch the sunset over the ocean. At night you will be amazed by our spacious 6-person hot tub on the lanai while gazing the stars. With a fantastic 180-degree view of the mountain and the ocean, from Kealakekua Bay to Honaunau Bay, you can sit for hours just relaxing in our luxury patio chaise loungers.
The beautiful fully equipped kitchen and living room are all in one and have a great espresso machine, microwave oven, regular oven, dishwasher, large Weber outdoor grill on the lanai and beautiful quartz-stone countertops.
You can cook in the kitchen and watch the 65-inch 4K TV in the living room at the same time or have a drink and a snack at the kitchen island that seats 4, while you are watching the chef preparing your food. Enjoy your dinner on the lanai at our big dinner table which seats up to eight.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
