Summary:

Wake with Kealakekua Bay in view from every bedroom, then step outside to one of the Big Island's most remarkable ocean settings. This three-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront home sleeps up to six right at the water's edge, near a protected marine sanctuary known for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking. Rent kayaks from the vendor next door, join a guided outing toward the cliff caves, or keep it simple with a tropical drink and dinner on the waterside patio. Inside, hardwood floors, wicker details, and vaulted ceilings give the home an easy plantation-style feel, while the kitchen is ready for local fruit or fresh seafood. Watch for dolphins and, in season, whales from the lanai. Please note that the home does not have air conditioning and relies on cooling trade winds. It is a rare pick for a family or friends who want the bay to be the whole point of the trip.



The Space:

Hardwood floors, wicker details, and vaulted ceilings give this three-bedroom, two-bath home a relaxed plantation-style feel. The open kitchen is ready for easy island meals, and sliding doors let the living room open toward the breeze and water. Cable TV and board games cover quiet evenings. There is no air conditioning, so the home relies on the cooling trade winds that move through the oceanfront setting.



Guest Access:

Guests at Manini Beach Breath Taker enjoy access to a private entrance with a lit path for easy evening arrivals, plus a garden area for relaxing outside. The oceanfront setting sits along Kealakekua Bay with beach access just steps away, ideal for snorkeling and kayaking. Sea views and outdoor seating complete this Big Island retreat.



The Neighborhood:

Captain Cook sits on the Big Island's South Kona coast, where coffee farms and a quieter shoreline frame the days. Kealakekua Bay is the local standout, a protected marine sanctuary known for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, with guided outings and shoreline history close by. Rent a kayak, explore the coast, or visit a coffee farm before coming back to watch the water change color. Shops and restaurants are a drive rather than a stroll, which suits travelers looking for more nature and less resort traffic. It is a beautiful, unhurried corner of the island for families and friends who want the ocean close and the schedule open.



Getting Around:

Kona International Airport is roughly 35 to 45 minutes away along the scenic Kona Coast. A rental car is recommended for exploring local coffee farms, shops, dining, and beaches. Kealakekua Bay and nearby snorkeling spots are close by, while most other South Kona destinations require a drive. Parking is available on site for this home.



Other Things to Note:

Parking is provided for two vehicles in the driveway. Street parking is not permitted. This vacation rental is not equipped with air conditioning. Permit # W74181539.
