Best lanai. Beautiful views.
My husband & I spent 2 incredible weeks at Kona Dolphin House. The first week with our daughter, the second with two other couples. (With a max of 6 people, we didn't rent the ohana since we didn't need it.) Once we walked through the great room onto the covered lanai, we were hard-pressed to leave. The highlight of our days were breakfasts and sunsets on that lanai. The views are incredible…from the lanai, the dining room, the living room, even the kitchen.
I'm pretty sure the kitchen has every appliance you'll need. Coffee grinder and maker, 4-slice toaster, toaster oven, microwave, double oven, blender, food processor, and things I didn't recognize. Plenty of glasses, utensils, plates, bowls and cups. Sharp knives for all that delicious fresh fruit you'll pick up at the farmer's market, and an excellent pineapple peeler/corer/slicer. We had enough room for four people to work without bumping into each other. The pantry and fridge contain food items left by previous guests, so you might want to check it out before doing any heavy duty grocery shopping.
The master suites are sooo comfortable. Plenty of towels, a hair dryer in each master bath, as well as a make-up mirror. Huge closets. The first master suite shower is spacious with shower heads at both ends and on the ceiling. Each master suite has its own lanai. One has a hot tub. The other has lounge chairs. The guest room is large; the closet is not as big as the masters but still has plenty of room. The bath for the guest is across the hall, so each of our couples had their own bedroom and bath.
Lots of heavy duty beach towels, nice beach chairs with shoulder straps and drink holders; at least one had an insulated storage pocket. A selection of ice chests and flashlights (for the trip to see the lava flow if you can drag yourself from the house). Snorkeling gear. An overflow fridge in the garage.
The den has three couches that are comfortable for all to sit around and talk.
Beautiful grounds with lemon trees and lilikoi vines. The plants and trees around the house shield you from the neighbors so you feel like you are on your own island.
Dan greeted us upon arrival, gave us a tour, made restaurant and touring recommendations, & made us feel welcome. He quickly responded to questions during our stay. Very helpful!
I'd been lusting after this house since 2010. As enticing as the photos are, the reality is even better. Our first visit, but it won't be our last. January 2017.
Best VR ever
Best VR ever. House is up on a hillside about a thousand feet above sea level looking down on the blue Pacific , Kealakekua Bay, and Honaunau.
What makes that unique is afternoons at the house are not hot and sticky and nights are so quiet. The only sound we heard was frogs (I think) which made falling asleep so comfortable with the cool night air.
The pictures of the house does not do justice: kitchen is fully loaded with pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, cups, etc. --Maybe enough for 15 people or more. Bedrooms are perfectly clean and well furnished.
After landing on the Big Island we picked up live Island Abalones, oysters, lobsters, Kona Kanpachi and more, we all feasted like kings and queens. What made that possible was "THE LANAI" and the sunset that provided live shows. Not only I would recommend this VR, when vacationing on the Big Island, I would stay at this 5 STARS VR again.

This house is PERFECT! Exceeded expectations on every front!
The Kona Dolphin House is PERFECT! One of our brothers got married in the Captain Cook area and we rented this house for those of us not staying at the house where the wedding would be - so three families with kids plus my dad and step mom all stayed here and had a blast! Breathtaking views, very spacious, well appointed, comfortable - we had everything we needed and some! The pictures on the website do NOT do the place justice. It is SPECTACULAR. Also, the owner is super organized, professional and responsive (an absolute PLEASURE to deal with) and the local manager is easily reachable and very helpful. One of the best vacations ever!
Family reunion
Meeting our "Aussie" relatives half way in Hawaii for a family reunion brought us to Kona Dolphin House. Six active seniors enjoyed the gourmet kitchen with everything one needs to make marvellous meals to enjoy on the beautiful lanai. The house is spacious and in a quiet neighbourhood away from the Kona tourist area. The local Captain Cook shopping area provided everything we needed. It was easy traveling to beaches, the volcano, etc using beach chairs,ice coolers,umbrellas and towels provided. The house and grounds were immaculate, the local manager attentive without being intrusive.the views from the lanai all thru the day were unforgettable.
Best holiday in a long, long time
We had an absolutely incredible time at the Kona Dolphin house. The house is in perfect condition, very spacious, with amazing views over the coastline from a stunning deck. There was a nice detached apartment above the garage that was perfect for us with our little baby, to have a little bit of space, while the rest of the extended family stayed in the main house. The location was perfect -- only 15 minutes down to perhaps the best snorkeling in Hawaii -- not to mention 5 mins to the grocery store and a good base from which to visit the volcano or various spots on the west coast on day trips. The gardener gave us a tour of the amazing garden and gave us fresh pineapple, mango, and coconuts. The owner also provided a list of incredibly helpful local recommendations. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. We can't say enough good things about it! Everyone came home relaxed, rejuvenated and happy.
Luxury in Paradise
The Dolphin house took our breath away at first sight. Our group of 14 fit comfortably with the main house and guest house. The grounds are immaculate, the house is perfect, but the view is unforgettable. The drive into Kona was not bad, and definitely worth the cooler evening temperatures. The small shops in town were great and the nearby grocery store very convenient. A great home base if you plan on traveling to the many activities around the island. Would definitely stay at the Dolphin House again!
