Loved all the snorkeling. Even saw 2 octopuses and dolphins. So wonderful to be able to take out kayaks and SUPs whenever. The house was charming and the porch had an amazing view of the beautiful serene bay. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of dishes! Jessa, on-site property care-taker, was a hoot and was so helpful and informative.

Perfectly situated on the bay with EZ access to the water if the waves are right. Multiple kayaks and plenty of accessoriies available on the property including life jackets, beach chairs, umbrellas, masks, snorkels. Beautiful views and breakfast/dinner setting on the lanai. The 6 of us worked perfectly with the rental. The downstairs unit shares the outside areas and we had up to 10 people there including kids which detracted alittle from the serenity but all in all very worth and would highly recommend.

The caretakers are awesome and the location is paradise.

This is a wonderful location. The views can’t be beat. Very nice having kayaks available. On site host is very nice. Be aware, it’s isolated, 15 minutes down the hill from closest restaurants or groceries. There are three different units on this property, upstairs, downstairs, and cottage next door. No hot tub on site even though listing still says it has one.
5.0
The location is stunning. You could not ask for a more perfect setting. Jessa, the on site property manager, was beyond gracious and truly made us feel like we were at home and part of the family. Our only regret was that we did not spend our entire Hawaiian vacation here. Every island and rental house after Big Island was a disapointment. We would return in a heartbeat.

If you want to get away from the bussle of Kona, awake to the sounds of the ocean mixed with birdsongs, see incredible sunsets while sipping your favorite drink, snorkel without crowds, or kayak out into a magical bay, this is the spot. It may not be as sunny but it is therefore much more lush and you really can't beat the laid back vibes.

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Lawai'a Sea Lodge! We made some excursions around the island, but home was our favorite. A beautiful home right on the water with kayaks and world-class snorkeling on a preserved bay, with a great host, sleeping with open windows to the sound of waves on the rocks. We hope to return. God bless you!

Upon arrival, we were met by our host, Jesse, she was so awesome & Informative. The views were so unreal we didn't want to leave the property, the crashing waves, we kayaked & snorkeled right out our back door & saw tons of fish & spinner dolphins. Our on property neighbors were great. We had a BBQ & invited Jesse & her family to join us & they even cooked & cleaned up for us, cannot ask for much more than that. I would highly recommend this place & we will defiantly come back! Debbie & Jeff-SLC, Utah

Fantastic stay.
House was built in 1935 and has kept that charm, but with updates which feel like you are vacationing in the 1970s (in a very positive way). No A/C, but it was cool enough at night that I needed a blanket. The kitchen has everything you need, including tons of spices from earlier guests. Don’t shop until you check out what is there. Shop at the KTA Superstore at the top of the hill in Kainaliu. They have everything you need and great poke as well.
Do not go anywhere else to go snorkeling, kayaking, to watch the sunset or go swimming; you won’t find anything better than in the backyard. The snorkeling is mind-blowing right at the mouth of the lagoon, don’t even waste the effort going another 100 yards.
The host, Jessie is super nice and accommodating. Be aware they the kayaks and access to the water is used by several units aside from the three on site (not a problem).
In summary we could not have enjoyed staying anywhere else more.

Well, we had breakfast with ocean view (25m to the sea), sun downer drinks and slept like babies…

We just loved it and would always come back!

What a great experience to spend a week at captain cook! The property manager, Jessa, is a true gem who made our stay a Hawaiian experience that none of us will soon forget!

We LOVED OUR stay here! The house is a little quirky, but very charming - we really felt like locals. We enjoyed the kayaks and snorkeling in the beautiful bay, which was fantastic! Waking up to spinner dolphins playing in the bay was an added bonus. Jenna and her daughter were so kind and friendly and brought us candles and helped us prepare for the freak storm that came through. Enjoyed the hot tub as well. The best part is the location - so beautiful and interesting history. We would love to come back and stay longer. Mahalo to our gracious hosts!

We loved every minute here. Jenna was super friendly, helpful and informative. Of the 3 places we stayed on the Big Island, this is definitely our favorite and we will be returning!

The upper cottage unit was amazing. We didn’t want to leave the beautiful views and instant access to the most amazing bay on the island. We kayaked with the dolphins, swam with the dolphins and kayaked over to the Captain Cook monument to snorkel this pristine cove. Our advice is to give up your morning of sleeping in to get out on the bay early. The winds are calmer and you can get out there before all the tour boats that start arriving between 9:30-10am. The on-site manager was a wealth of knowledge and made sure our stay was perfect. They provide everything you need to enjoy the ocean. For those of you who like me search reviews for mention of the bed quality I will say that the king and one queen were too firm for my bad back. We found the queen bed in the smallest back bedroom (that also had a twin bed in it) to be the most comfortable. We stayed in March and most nights we either had windows partly opened or just closed with ceiling fans on. In the afternoon/evening there was always a strong breeze thru the house coming off the ocean. So I am not sure how it is in Jun-Aug but we were just fine without A/C. We would definitely come back again to stay here!!

Best access to Kealakekua Bay. All the amenities to enjoy the water and the marine life. We swam with with turtles, dolphins, and whales. The dolphins every day!
Relaxed on the deck and enjoyed spectacular sunsets and the gentle ocean breezes all evening long.
It could not have been better, we were so satisfied with everything.

Great property with plenty of room for our group of 17. Enjoyed seeing spinner dolphins, whales and colorful fish. Children ranging in age from 2-13 were able to play in the water, snorkel, and hunt for shells. Would stay here again.

We had the pleasure of renting this property for 4 nights and I am very happy that we did. I had previously visited the Big Island but stayed on the other side so I knew we wanted to explore this side of the island on this visit. The location and amenities were perfect and beyond convenient. In all our trip included 5 adults, with only one couple. There was ample space, and we only rented the top portion of the house. The layout is a little different but still easy to access all of the spaces. The kitchen has everything that you need supply wise, and we spent our first day completing some food prep and just enjoying the property. The views are spectacular morning, noon and night!!!The property is conveniently located for all types of activity and if you rent this house you already will be staying at one of the best kayak and snorkeling spots on the island.
5.0
We really loved this place! The property manager and owner were both helpful, friendly, and ver accommodating . The kitchen had everything we needed as did the bedrooms and bathrooms. We were a family of 7 adults with an infant and the upstairs unit was just perfect. They even provided a pack n play! For the price, I’d suggest some updates to the beds and bedding, but other than that it was a lovely home. Be aware that you do share the property with two other units as well as with neighbors on both sides accessing the property to use the kayaks, boat launch, and tide pool. They neighbors weren’t supposed to linger, but they did. We’ll be back to enjoy this beautiful bay, home and area!
