Location, location, location. Manta Ray Manor is a vibrant, 3 bedroom/3 ensuite baths, ocean view 2500 square foot home set on the Kona coast in a private, gated oceanfront community. Manta Ray Manor provides a perfect retreat for your Hawaii adventure. Keiki Beach with its beautiful white sand, swimming lagoon, tide pools and ocean access is a short walk down the Manor's comfortable private street.
Manta Ray Manor is an architect-designed, fully functional beach retreat. It's bigger than a bungalow, allowing everyone their own space, but small enough to rekindle the family aloha. High ceilings, expansive windows and large living areas make the home airy, bright and relaxing. The living room, with its expansive seating and 60" TV (if desired), provides a comfortable indoor gathering place. Just off the living room is the tropical lanai, complete with enough outdoor furniture for the entire ohana to lounge and enjoy meals. Relax in the lanai's hot tub under the palm tree framed starry sky.
After a long day, retreat to your private bedroom and bath. Manta Ray Manor's master suite is roomy with its own living area, California king size bed, full bath and private lanai with ocean view and mountain. Fall asleep and wake up to the rhythm of the waves. A second, spacious bedroom with king size bed and ensuite bath resides upstairs. Enjoy peaceful views of island pines, palm trees and Mount Hualālai in the distance. The third bedroom is light and bright with a king bed, bathroom and main floor location. All bedrooms have California closets. Two air conditioning units cool the entire home as needed.
Manta Ray Manor’s custom kitchen is equipped with all the accessories your crew needs to entertain and enjoy great meals at home. This includes a gas range, large double-sided refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, Vitamix and plenty of dishes, pans and flatware. Just off the kitchen is the dining room which comfortably seats 6.
Kona town and famous Ali'i Drive, with their eclectic restaurants, breweries, shopping and lively outdoor scene, are 1 mile away, as is Kailua Pier and its outdoor activities. Fill your days with paddle-boarding, kayaking, whale watching, snorkeling, scuba diving (with giant oceanic manta rays!) volcano viewing... The possibilities go on and on. Or, just relax on your neighborhood beach with a cold drink, good book and peaceful aloha spirit. No matter what you choose to do, these amenities are easily accessible by foot, bike ride or short drive. This is the magic of Manta Ray Manor.
6 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas, 2 body boards, assorted beach toys, a beach wagon and cooler are conveniently stored inside the side gate. We periodically add items, so this list changes. The rinsing hose is located by the main lanai's front steps. A recreation area is adjacent to Kona Bay Estates and Manta Ray Manor. Feel free to use the tennis and pickleball courts, Aquatic center with community pool, Olympic size lap pool, kids’ playground, horseshoe pits, frisbee golf course, Maka’eo Walking Path and more (indoor facilities may be limited due to Covid-19).
If you've never been to the Big Island of Hawaii, it's the largest Hawaiian Island. With 80% of the state’s landmass, but only 20% of its people, the Big Island has wide open spaces, high mountains, spacious valleys and room to breathe. The island also has several volcanos. Kilauea, Mauna Loa, ...

We thoroughly enjoyed this home for our family stay. We had a set of grandparents, ourselves, and two children ages 8 & 6. The home was spacious, clean, wall appointed, and provided enough space that everyone could have their own corner. Keiki beach is a short stroll and the Airport Beach access still walkable. I highly recommend if you want a quiet neighborhood and easy access to main roadways to explore the island.

We loved our stay! The house is absolutely beautiful, clean and the location is great! It's walking distance from a little beach that's great for kids, and about 1 mile away from downtown. The views from the upstairs bathroom are breathtaking and the patio is really nice. We would love to come back and stay next time we are in Kona!
The host was very responsive and provided recommendations about the area.
Thank you!

Property and home are fairly new and very well maintained, very clean inside and out and perfect for a family or grouo of friends visiting Kona Kailua and the Big Island of Hawaii. The location is very convenient for access to downtown, you could walk to downtown restaurants and shopping if you wanted to. The little somewhat private beach is just 2 minute walk from thia home. You can snorkel at the private beach when it isnt high tide. There is a beautiful blow hole in the lava bed and incredible view of sunset from this part of the little beach. You could actually just hang out at the home and spend time @ the beach and not even leave the gated community if you just wanted to relax and unwind. We came to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday as well as our son and his girlfriend's college gradations. My son has two summer classes which required a good wifi signal for streaming class participation and the home was perfect for conducting business on line if need be. Master bedroom suite has the nice balcony and ocean view so we used it half the time and let the new graduates have it the last 5 days. Overall I'd say it was an excellent choice for a vacation rental, much better than paying for 3 rooms at one of the local resorts to accomodste all 5 of us.
George our host is very nice and very good at communicating with guests, he gave us good tips on the home and area, there was a minor temporary power outage for a couple hours and George helped update us immediately!

Having just completed a two-week stay with my wife and three grown kids, I can say this is a real jewel of a property. While not located right on the oceanfront, it's a two-minute walk from a cute little secluded beach, where we spent several mornings soaking in the sun. The house itself was immaculate and very roomy. The main bedroom suite was exceptional with a large lanai looking out to the ocean. My son and my daughter with her boyfriend each had their own bedroom/bath. A perfect setup. The sports fields behind the house got a bit rowdy a few nights, but the noise was drowned out by our nightly hot tub soakings. The location was great, too, as a base to explore the Big Island. The owner was very communicative and offered recommendations for restaurants. Overall, a wonderful vacation.

We spent a week at Manta Ray Manor in November, 2023. It was 3 couples that were all friends for many years and decided to take a dream vacation together. First of all, George and Diane were terrific hosts. They gave us all the information we needed before we got to Kona and kept in touch while there. We had no issues at all with the home is very well appointed. The location is outstanding with just a very short walk to the beach and into town. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood that felt very safe. The house itself is gorgeous, clean and decorated beautifully. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone going to Kona. Aloha!

We stayed for a week at the Manta Ray Manor in Aug 2023 - 2 adults and 3 14 year old girls. First, the communications by George and Diane (the owners) was perfect. They gave all the information in a timely manner and made sure everything was perfect during our stay. The house is gorgeous and in a great location - an almost private beach 200 yds away, the athletic facilities for tennis, pickleball, swimming right next door and Kona a short walk away.
Lots of room and a lovely patio area. We would return in a minute. 5+stars - Walter Beach

We loved the house and it’s close proximity to a lot of the things we wanted to see and do during our time on the Big Island!

George and Diane were the perfect hosts at this beautiful location. The house is spacious and nicely appointed. There were 4 adults and one teenager in our group and we felt that we had plenty of space to gather and plenty of space if we wanted a little alone time. The kitchen is filled with everything you need. The house was spotless when we arrived. The location of the house is great. It is in a gated community that is on the ocean so it's very quiet. But a short drive or slightly longer walk will get you to restaurants, shaved ice, and everything you need. Grocery stores are nearby.
George communicated with us before and throughout our visit. He provided great suggestions to thing to do and places to eat. And he answered all of my questions. This could not have been a better stay!

This beautiful home was everything we hoped for and more. Quiet and secluded with a wonderful little sandy beach for our two year old, but close enough to town to walk in. I'm happy to recommend it to all.

Our home was of high quality, immaculate condition and clearly as advertised in the listing! The location so close to the village, so close to tide pool and beach access and six or so miles from the airport was ideal. We had five adults but this home would be terrific for a family with children considering the privacy, quiet location and ocean access. The booking, the payment process and access to the home was terrific! We hope that one day we will be able to return to this fantastic property!
