Further details for this vacation house rental in Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii

Comfort and Serenity...: The open design of the home allows you to savor the fragrant aromas of the plumeria, jasmine, gardenia, and many other indigenous flowers of the Big Island. After a meal, retire to one of the many spacious lanais overlooking the Bay, where you can be swept away by the calming sounds and smells of the ocean -- or catch a glimpse of the spinner dolphins or breaching whales in season. Nap in the family-size hammock or curl up with a book on the bamboo chaise. No matter where you choose to lounge, you'll be treated to ocean views, exotic birds, fresh fragrant air, and comfortable furnishings. Launch one of our top-of-the-line kayaks into the crystal-clear waters of historic Kealakekua Bay -- the home of the Ancient Hawaiian Alii (Royalty). Snorkel or shore dive with schools of tropical fish, Manta Ray, sea turtles, and octopus. If you have never had the experience of swimming with a pod of dolphins, plan on it everyday.

Wildlife abounds...: These mammals will entertain you with their acrobatics and friendly dispositions -- and will guide you on an unforgettable tour of the Bay. And for those of you who visit during the balmy winter months, enjoy the phenomenon of migrating humpback whales who come back each year to give birth. For the truly adventuresome, grab a boogie board or surfboard, and catch the 'local' break. After an exhilarating day in the sun and surf, enjoy a glass of wine while watching a breathtaking sunset -- which soon becomes a moonlit sky, scattered with stars. Make sure you are the first to catch the 'Southern Star' -- and make a wish. The possibilities are endless at Hale Keawe. Hale Keawe is centrally located in the district of South Kona. World-renowned for its temperate climate, secluded beaches, and brilliant sunshine, Kona is also famous for its coffee. Minutes from the house, you can tour one of the local coffee plantations.

Nearby activities...: 4 miles up the hill, the historic town of Captain Cook offers sweeping panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and there is convenient grocery shopping, video rentals, quaint eateries, and numerous shops featuring local arts and crafts and unique antiques in Captain Cook. Just 15 miles north is the village of Kailua, where you can charter a dive boat, parasail, eat at a world-class restaurant, enjoy a cocktail on the ocean at sunset, or frequent one of the many local nightclubs. Shopping opportunities are abundant, and so is the local 'Aloha' spirit. Don't miss the local farmers market for ripe papaya, pineapple, colorful anthyriums and orchids, sun-dried Kona coffee, and the freshest fresh fish catch of the day. Local beaches include a black sand beach that is sheltered by a majestic pali (cliff) to the north, and an ancient heiau (temple) to the east. A white sandy beach shaded by coconut palms makes an inviting spot for gathering coral and seashells.

Ski: Water skiing is available in the town of Kona.

Golf: Several professional golf courses are located on the Big Island.

Other Activities: Kayaking

WOW

DavidA Los Angeles
Review Submitted: September 12, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
For the past 10 years my wife and I have stayed at vacation homes around the US, Hawaii and Europe and I can honestly say this is the most romantic property we have ever stayed in. If the owner ever sells we would love to make it our home.

We arrived at the house on a private grassy lane just a stones throw from Kealakekua Bay where the Captain Cook Monument is. We unlocked the gate and parked are rental car right next to the door. We were greeted by a couple of cats and lots of birds and "Gecko's" (just like the one from the insurance commercial.) We saw the photos and virtual tour on the website but they cannot relay the beauty and magic we found.

The house has no walls facing the private courtyard with a view of the bay. The bedrooms are well maintained and comfortable. You have an option of opening full wall windows and doors or closing them for privacy. I liked the open air lava shower and my wife liked the fully equipped kitchen. We had to hit the grocery store back in town. I would suggest shopping prior to going to the house. The Safeway is on the road from the airport.

There was a large assortment of snorkel gear and footwear but we bought our own at the Wal-Mart next to the Safeway. I never like depending on equipment at a rental property.

There were several Kayaks which we launched from the pier and paddled out about 200 yards when are boat was surrounded by dolphins. It seemed like hundreds of them with babies. We paddled to the monument and snorkeled around with the people from the tour boat. They had to leave but we stayed another hour or so before paddling back through the dolphins again.

The only drawback is this property is in South Kona, so if you are looking for nightclubs then stay closer to Kailua-Kona.

We drove around the Island to the volcano about 2 hours away but stopped at many local sites like The City of Refuge, South Point and a black sand beach with about 10 turtles on it. Most of our friends who have stayed on the Kohala Coast north of Kailua have never driven this way to the volcano.

Would we stay here again? You bet. My wife suggests buying some Hawaiian music CD's at the store. There is a sound system that pipes music throughout the house. And make sure you get Mai Tai mix so you can enjoy sipping them in the hammock under the tall palm trees.
