My husband and I went with our three children, son in law and our three grandkids. The house was perfect for the 9 of us. We spent a lot of time in the morning and evening on the lanai. It was so peaceful and there is Manini Beach Park where you can get in the ocean that’s about a 5 minute walk. Some mornings we would walk down Manini Beach road just a little ways and sit on the rocks and drink our coffee and watch the ocean. Dharma and Catherine were amazing caretakers. We didn’t get the opportunity to meet Anna because she was out of town but before we left to go to Hawaii she made sure we had all the information we would need to find the house and get in. It made it really easy to find with her directions. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and Dharma and Catherine brought us some beautiful flowers and a card. Our daughter celebrated her birthday and they dropped off a card for her too. If we had any questions they were always super friendly and helpful. There was a tsunami warning and we couldn’t go back to the house for almost 9 hours but Dharma and Catherine made sure we new about the tsunami warning and continued to check on how we were doing and to keep us updated. We so appreciated them they make you feel like family. This is a wonderful place and we would highly recommend staying here.
The house was the perfect size for a group of 8 adults and one child. The walking distance to Manini Beach and Kealakekua Bay was the best. We were also only a ten minute drive to two step and some more amazing snorkeling. Took some time adjusting to the bugs (this is jungle atmosphere after all!) But overall we adapted quickly and loved it. The pwner was super responsive. Grandson loved the geckos!
Anna was a perfect host. She was very welcoming and provided super helpful information, both about the easy check-in and tips for during our stay. The home was absolutely perfect for our family of five adults (us and our 3 adult kids in their 20s). Parking accommodated our two rental cars. Bathrooms and beds were just what we needed. Abundant towels. Full kitchen stocked with essentials and the grill worked great for cooking our meals (mahi mahi tacos for the win!). The large table on the patio was great. The home was a peaceful place to come back to after playing all day and the location was wonderful. We have stayed in the Manini Beach area before and would definitely return to Anna's home. Thank you!
Great host. Excellent communication and the detailed directions and parking info prior to arrival were much appreciated. Clean house, close to lots of great spots on the island. Spacious with room for the whole family. Well appointed kitchen and great outdoor dining space.
Our group ranged from 25-82! We had plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other. The property was everything we could’ve asked for! Thank you Anna for your responsiveness and beautiful home! We will be back!
we are a family of 8.we arrive in Kona August 28, and depart Sept 6. the house was easy to locate. The house is beautiful and spacious and well kept and it is exactly as describe by the owner. My favorite area of the house is upstairs ,with 2 balcony the view is spectacular with the ocean and the vegetation of the land expectational. communication with the host was excellent, Anna is nice and friendly. she made everything easy. the community is 45 minutes away from the airport, must have a car to get around. it does get warm on the island but there is air condition . i enjoy my stay at Ann's home. whenever you decide to visit Kona this home is a must. the community is quiet and the people is respectable and friendly. i give this home and community a ten out of ten. Thank you Ann
We had 3 generations staying here for a week, ages 8-74. The location and accommodations were perfect. We all had a great time and profited from the outside eating area and bbq. The short walk to kid friendly swimming and snorkeling was an added bonus. The area is beautiful and peaceful. We all loved Anna’s place and were sad to leave. I highly recommend Anna’s house as a family friendly vacation option. Having geckos around us was an added bonus that we loved!
The house has 3 bedrooms on one floor a large room upstairs with multiple beds. It has a very nice lani to sit out on for meals with the whole family. The location was great with an easy 5 minute walk to the water to go snorkling. My family enjoyed our time at this house.
We had a great time during our stay. We loved the 3 minute walk to the beach. The snorkeling is very good just minutes away. We were able to enjoy the best sunsets every night. The property managers left fruit for us every morning. The house is well stocked for cooking and cleaning. Everything is modest and comfortable.
This hose is perfectly located near Manini beach in a lovely jungle setting. The house is very comfortable for a large group or family.
We had a fantastic stay at Anna's beautiful house near Manini Beach. The house is a very short jaunt from the water, where we were able to enjoy many spectacular sunsets. The home is lovely and very well-appointed. I would add that it's even more lovely than the photos suggest, which I can't say of most properties. The lanai on the front of the house is well-suited to lots of leisure and relaxation, of which we enjoyed plenty. Anna is an incredibly responsive, kind and generous host, and she really struck a great balance of being easily available to us while also affording us plenty of our own space. I highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back!
The property is nestled away from traffic yet close to the water. The apartment has ample space for three generations, as was our situation. Beds were comfortable. Food prep was easy. Snorkel supplies were available. We did not want. Catherine and Anna were available to assist as needed with dining recommendations, beaches and anything else.
We had a wonderful time at Anna’s place. The kitchen is amazingly well stocked and we enjoyed many meals on the spacious lanai. Views from the upstairs open room were stunning and a great place to do yoga! Every night we walked down to Manini Beach to watch the sunset. Such a special place. Anna made us feel so welcome and was really helpful in getting us oriented. They had chairs and some snorkeling equipment that we borrowed and you can rent kayaks and paddle board right down the road to paddle to a beautiful snorkeling site near the Captain Cook monument.
The first thing to mention is the Hospitality that Anna provided to our family. 7 adults and 2 children felt overwhelming but Anna was quick to put our hearts at ease. This was essential for us to make our 1st ever family trip a special one. We also met Catherine who was equally as wonderful. They were both so helpful with every question we had and yet also made it feel very private for our family.
The house is very spacious with lots of comfortable beds. All the ammenities a family needs. The Lanai was our favorite place to relax with room for all. Overlooking all the beauty hawaii has to offer (including an ocean view)
A short walk to a community park that had everything we could hope for. Beautiful setting, snorkling, relaxing, having a picnic and enjoying the perfect hawaiin vibe. Our son proposed to his girlfriend at this park with the most beautiful sunset ever created! This place is a hidden gem!!
The home is located about 30 minutes from shopping and tourist spots. And about an hour from popular beaches but this was exactly what we were looking for. There are closer beaches so be sure to check those out before deciding to do a more crowded beach.
Overall the experience provided with this home and Anna's warm, kind, and thoughtful hosting was nothing short of perfection.
Thank you Anna (and Catherine) for everything. We all feel like we made new friends 💗
The property was well suited for our group of 10 and was a great location from which to explore the island. The owners were very helpful with communication about the property and suggestions for activities.
Our family had a very pleasant 3 week stay here. The property was well-appointed for our needs. We appreciated having beach/snorkeling equipment and towels available for our use at the beautiful nearby bay, as well as coolers for hauling groceries and refreshments on road trips. There were activities and sights to enjoy on foot or by car. Our host was helpful in suggesting places to visit or picturesque places to eat, and also graciously shared with us some of the fruits and flowers found on site. Whether looking for a day to relax on a warm porch with a good book or a base camp from which to set out to explore all the sights on the island, this is the place to be. Mahalo Anna!
We had a great time! Traveling with "twenty-somethings" and not "twenty-somethings" is a challenge and the home gave us enough space that everyone could relax or socialize without feeling intrusive. Anna is a wonderful host that is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Access to Kona or the southern point of the island was convenient from this location. Manini park and water access is just down the street and other beaches are a very short drive. Highly recommend spending vacation time here.

We really enjoyed the area, we loved working with Anna she was great! The home was wonderful! The beach was within walking distance, and the snorkeling was amazing. We loved the Island!

We have a large family of nine and this house was perfect and in our price range. We loved the location close to snorkeling and tidepools. Our host was great, communicative and helpful. The property felt very private and lush. Bring mosquito repellant!

We had an absolutely wonderful 10 day stay at the house! It was very comfortable for our party of 8 people. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. We ate outside on the beautiful deck for every meal. All the furniture is also very nice and comfortable. Nate the caretaker and Katherine were super nice and helpful, they brought us great banana bread that Katherine made and fruit from their garden. The bay and very nice park are only a few minutes from the house. We are very happy we stayed there and love the area and would definitely stay there again!

Anna was an amazing host! She was alway willing to give us ideas for our next adventure and they were always spot on. The house was amazing for my family of 10. The scenery and experience just two minutes walk away was great, seeing whales, dolphins and sea turtles. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is so peaceful. Will definitely be booking again next time I come.

Anna and Catherine were accommodating and communicative for our needs during our 2 week stay in Captain Cook HI.
This home is a Quiet property in a near jungle setting several minutes walk to Manini beach with great views of the sunset and ingress for snorkeling. The property has an excellent Deck with secluded garden view (and visible ocean in the near distance) was our favorite spot in this home.
Ample bedroom space for 3 couples and a small family upstairs, but expect to manage bathroom use.
