Hawaii> Captain Cook
- 3 bedroom
- 2 bathroom
- Sleeps 7
Experience spinner dolphins, sea turtles, hump-back whales (in winter), manta rays, amazing fish and coral reefs at pristine Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary.
Enjoy glorious sunsets through the palm fronds from the lanai or walk a few steps to the bay for your photos.
At Manini beach find excellent snorkeling and small sandy pools for little children. We have a one-man kayak and a one-man SUP/kayak combo for our guest’s use and a good variety of snorkel gear in many sizes. The shady park with picnic tables will keep everyone happy for hours! Come back to the house and consider using the outdoor shower to rinse off sand and sea water, pick some fruit from the trees, then relax on the private, covered second story lanai.
This spacious and airy home sleeps seven comfortably with large screened windows, high ceilings and overhead fans in every room. The decor is laid back Hawaiian from days gone by. Walls are decorated with local artwork as well as art collected in the South Pacific in the 1960s and more recently the Cook Islands.
There is a desk and office chair in the nook off the living room. Feel free to use the 25” wide monitor, full size keyboard, mouse and docking station.
The master bedroom has a queen-size bed, newly remodeled private bath with a walk-in shower. An adjoining sleeping porch has a twin bed.
The hall bedroom ("hula room") has a queen-size bed and adjoining updated bath that also opens to the hall. The third bedroom ("bird room") has twin beds.
Prepare meals in the well equipped kitchen that includes a rice cooker, cast iron skillets, blender, coffee grinder and your choice of coffee makers. Sleep with the sound of the ocean in your ears and wake to the riotous songs of birds outside your window. Feed the birds each morning and enjoy the show while you sip your coffee.
The Bay and the village of Napo'opo'o are unlike any you will find in the islands. The area is a quiet village with no condos, hotels, stores, or crowds. All shopping and dining are located 4 miles up the hill in Captain Cook or in the other local villages of Kealakekua and Kainaliu Town. Coolers are available at the front door and in the downstairs laundry area to keep your food purchases fresh - including fish from the Sunday farmers market.
The yard is a forest of palms and fruit trees - including papaya, grapefruit, soursop, tangerine, lime, lemon, orange, star fruit, banana and mango. Feel free...

We loved the house and its proximity to the ocean and snorkeling. It was also a terrific base for the two younger ones to bike the challenging roads around the area. It is such a gorgeous area. We would come again if the opportunity presented itself.

Quiet Get Away was the perfect accommodation for our family of 7 ..3 from Australia and 4 from the USA. Our little piece of paradise was enjoyed by all.

Suggest stocking up on groceries for entire stay in Kona before arrival.

This house is so well set up - we loved it! From bird seed for the feeder, plenty of excellent kitchen supplies, full laundry, and even first aid antiseptic (don’t ask!). Just a short walk to Manini Beach and drive to two step - this is a keeper!

First, this property was as described in the listing. The accommodations were wonderful, and the location in the lush green hillside near the beach was fantastic.
You do have open windows, and the frogs sing you to sleep at night and the birds wake you up with the sun, which we actually really enjoyed.
One thing to note is that the sound is as described so if you are looking for complete silence, this isn't the place for you. The interior rooms are also not fully sound isolated from each other, which you should be aware of.
We adjusted quickly and were happy to make the tradeoff to enjoy the Hawaiian oceanside.
We did take advantage of the close Manini beach, which is a huge advantage of this property. It is close and beautiful. We used the snorkeling gear a few times, which is a bit of a mixed bag of quality and styles. There are some standard snorkels, and some full-face. We had some trouble fitting them to our faces, but were glad we had access to them to try out because our family had never snorkeled before. Whether you bring your own gear or use the stuff provided I highly recommend trying it out!
We absolutely would stay here again. We had such a great time!

Beautiful place in a beautiful location. Great host and everything we needed for a week at the beach. Great local recommendations. Quiet, nature-filled town. Would visit again.

Truly a gem of a home. Open air, surrounded by trees, birds, the breeze. Gorgeous interior, wood, comfortable furniture, plenty of space for our family - grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and 2 little ones. Kitchen stocked with all the amenities and we cooked quite a bit. Snorkeling gear of all sizes at the house. We had everything we wanted here and it was really wonderful. The area is incredible too - close to so many stunning beaches, small quiet community. We hope to come back again sometime soon and make a habit of it!

The home was perfect for us - so well equipped with snorkeling gear and baby supplies. Easy walking to great beaches and fruit stands. Just a few minutes by car from restaurants and grocery store. Loved the fruit trees in the yard!

This was our second stay at the house. That's how much we loved it and the area. The house is very well appointed and close to great snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, etc. Great location!
