Our family loved being back at Manini Point House after 10+ years. Still the same relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the bay, morning swims, watching the sunsets, and exploring the island. Thanks again to our host Elizabeth!

This home is a short walk from Manini Point with nightly exquisite sunsets and from Manini Beach, a shaded, grassy beach area great for children and families. Kealakekua Bay is just spectacular. Elizabeth was a warm host and the home has a great wrap around porch, expansive kitchen for group cooking, and a ping pong table which was great for teens and adults alike. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it if you are looking to stay in a neighborhood environment without a lot of tourist activity around you.

This is a great location for the more active travelers. If you like being close to snorkeling, kayaking, and historical parks, you’ll like it here! The welcome fruit basket was incredible.

The house, grounds, and proximity to the water could not have been better. We all know that you can’t pick your neighbors and in this case between the barking dogs and very very early roosters whose coop was right next to us made watching sunrise a daily occurrence. Wax earplugs were very helpful!

This is truly a Hawaiian experience house. Great community and easy access to a nearby beach, If you are into kayaking walk a few hundred feet the other way to the boat launch and there are kayak rentals there. No driving and trying to park! Stayed there 5 nights and went kayaking 2 of them it was so much fun. Great hosts as well and the house was great for the family of 6. A bit further is a two step and great snorkeling beach there. Volcano 2 hour drive. Kona 30 minute drive. Went to the Green beach 1 hour drive. Perfect location for touriest things and just relaxing.

We feel so lucky to have stayed in this sweet neighborhood several times and this is hands down our favorite house. It’s absolutely beautiful and filled with aloha—the upstairs suite is so comfortable. Elizabeth and Steve are great hosts! This is definitely our happy place.

Manini Beach House was a beautiful place to stay and had wonderful amenities, but we spent most of our time outside enjoying the lovely lanai. A charming spot to relax and listen to the coqui at night. The house has everything one could want and is a great place to stay with family - plenty of room in the kitchen, even if there are multiple cooks! A fantastic location!

This house was perfect for a family of 6. The location was amazing, 1 minute walk to a beautiful snorkling beach. Elizabeth was a great host and let us tour her farm which was so beautiful. Your about 20 mintues away from Downtown Kona. I highly recommend this house for your place to stay on the Big Island.

We were here for a Zen retreat at a nearby home and on Manini Beach. We did yoga every morning at the beach! This couldn’t have been a more convenient and lovely place to hang out between times. The host was superb with the information and instructions. The water and snorkeling - delicious.

Our adult family of 5 had a perfect getaway. This home had everything we needed, well stocked kitchen and clean comfortable rooms. Beautiful views with a huge lanai that wraps around the entire house. Location is walking distance to kayaking, Manini beach and some of the best snorkeling on the island. Elizabeth & Steve were perfect hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family enjoyed this ideally located house for a week. We enjoyed watching the geckos and relaxing on the lanai listening to the rain. We swam, snorkeled, and kayaked in Kealakekua Bay, visited other nearby beaches, and were invited for a wonderful tour of Elizabeth's and Steve's Konacopia Farm. Our generous hosts were the greatest guides and shared many of their favorite place to visit. We can't wait to return!

Can not say enough good things about our stay in Manini Beach House! Owners were so easy to work with showing true Aloha spirit! Our family stayed 7 days and found Kealakekua Bay minutes walk away to be perfect place for kayaking. snorkeling and even bank fishing. There is literally something for all ages. The quiet neighborhood setting was exactly what we wanted. You will not be disappointed! We will book again for sure!
