Steps to the Ocean at Manini Beach at Kealakekua Bay! Konakays
Kealakekua Bay (which means Pathway to the Gods) has one of the Big Island's most spectacular coral reefs. Because it is a Marine Life Sanctuary, the fish are plentiful and swarm over the well developed reef that slopes from the shores into the ocean. Spinner dolphins, Manta Rays, and Green Sea turtles are commonly seen resting in the Bay. Humpback Whales visit in the winter season from January to March. The reefs make this area an underwater showcase, so come enjoy a swim or snorkel, and dive into some of the worlds most pristine waters, all well within walking distance from the house. Often there is an opportunity to swim with the plentiful spinner dolphins, right in the bay.

Great location and very welcoming. Couple of take aways
Amazing location. You really feel like a local. So close to key Captain Cook venues. Apt is large. They supply all that you need and more. Frig was stocked with some great treats. Such Aloja spirit.
WiFi is sporadic and not strong in half of the house. Window unit for the master and many fans provided.
Overall a great experience and super nice owner Kay!

Kona Kay's house was perfectly located, a 5 minute walk from the beach and still very quiet. Manini is a slice of Heaven. The house is not new or fancy, it's somewhat old fashioned, spacious, quiet, clean. The beds are very comfortable...having a bath and a half was great...Kay was very helpful, kind and friendly but not at all intrusive. She offered fresh fruit from her stand, nice because there are no nearby stores. Parking is easy. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great Location, Fantastic Host
This upstairs unit is a 5-minute walk from the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. Kaye was an amazing generous host. The unit is well-equipped and very clean. The heat during our stay was intense so we scheduled our time away from the unit in the afternoon and evening. A window AC unit made the bedroom bearable at night. Thanks for a great stay Kaye!

Peaceful oasis
Amazing location a short walk from a wonderful historic bay with fantastic snorkeling. Swam with a manta ray one morning.
Kay was so kind, provided us with more fruit than we could handle, and plenty of other food and goodies.
The neighborhood itself is also great to walk around, with plenty of beautiful flowers and birds.
Very short drive to Two Step and The City of Refuge, both of which are must sees.
I would recommend this spot to anyone I know.

Amazing location!
We thoroughly loved staying here! The location is amazing- close to the water, and lots of things to do. The kitchen is well equiped and the space is comfortable with two full bedrooms. Kay is a gracious host - she shared fruits from the property and let us pick some too. She runs a fruit and baked goods stand next door. We would definitely stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kay's comfortable and spacious apartment. We love Kealakekua Bay and all that it offers and Kay's apartment was well suited to our experience. Kay was very responsive to any of our needs and her Hawaiian hospitality was very much appreciated. Maholo Kay!

One of our favorite things about this house was the location
One of our favorite places on the big island is the Manini Beach Park at Kealakekua Bay. This is the first time we rented a property in this area. This house was within easy walking distance of Manini Beach. Kay was an accommodating host and allowed us to make a quick stop, before check in time, to drop off food we were bring with us from another rental. Kay shared some of the fruit with us from the many fruit trees on the grounds. The house itself was an older home and a bit dated. The most unfortunate thing about the house was the windows did not face the prevailing wind and it would get hot during the afternoon. We didn’t spend much time at the house so it wasn’t too much of a problem for us. Fortunately, there was an air conditioner in the master bedroom which made that room comfortable for sleeping.
