Vacation rentals with beach access in Captain Cook

I’d make up a reason to go to Hawaii just to stay at Megan and Vicent’s Airbnb again. To start, they were excellent hosts - very responsive before arrival, and available for questions and suggestions once we arrived. The house itself is so peaceful, comfortable, and roomy that it sometimes made it difficult to mobilize in the mornings. The interiors were killer, too - everything I’d include if I were decking out my own island home. Thanks again for a fantastic stay!! - Brian

Kathie has a great place to stay in Kona! We loved being right at the water’s edge and hearing the waves crash against the rocks. The place was super clean and cozy. Kathie had lots of extras for the beach that we didn’t have to buy or rent. Kathie had stellar communication. Would definitely stay here again!

Kathy's place was great! There's a small beach across the street, it was really clean and the bed was very comfortable. I appreciated the filtered water in the fridge and how quiet it was at night. She was a very communicative host and was responsive and available if there was anything I needed. I would definitely stay at Kathy's place again.

The condo had everything we needed and looked just like the photos. The beach gear was a fantastic touch, making our beach days effortless and fun. The fully stocked kitchen was nice—we loved being able to buy fresh fruit and prepare it at home. The bed was comfortable, and while there’s no AC in the bedroom, the fan kept the space comfortable. The location was conveniently located - only a 2-minute drive to the closes white sand beach and 15-20 minutes to Costco and Walmart. The street outside can be a bit loud from the passing cars, so the lanai wasn’t the quietest spot to relax, but it wasn’t an issue inside, and we slept well. Check-in and checkout were seamless, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Tom was an excellent host—he was proactive and highly responsive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Overall, a well-equipped and conveniently located stay that made our trip enjoyable!

this is the third Airbnb We have stayed at on this trip to Hawaii and by far the nicest. Even though it's not right on the beach it's like a brand new studio apartment very well furnished the bed was comfortable bathroom was excellent and a nice large kitchen area. We walked down to the ocean and it was four or five blocks maybe a 7 minute walk. if we ever come back we'll definitely stay here again

Spacious and well stocked Airbnb. Really nice touches with a few snacks and drinks provided and plenty of towels and kitchen amenities. The place is a bit dated but clean and the main bed was very comfortable. The pullout sofa in the living room is extremely uncomfortable if you’re planning to have anyone sleep there. I didn’t reach out to the host about it so maybe they could have provided a foam topper or something else for it. If you’re looking to have anyone sleep adults sleep out there I would check with the host to see if they can provide something to make it more comfortable since it was harder than a futon to sleep on. Overall good value for the price and convenient location.

We had an amazing stay! The apartment was so spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved watching the horses from the lanai and having Buddy the dog greet us everyday when we arrived back. We felt like we had the best spot on the island to watch the sunset. The sounds of the coqui frogs at sunset was absolutely amazing and so relaxing to fall asleep to. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped for self catering and it was really helpful having some things in the cupboards like spices, oil, syrup, etc. We were so sorry when it was time for us to leave!

Simply put, Abra's place is much much better than it looks in the pictures. The place could have not been more peaceful, situated right next to a wonderful beach. There is a swimming pool and a restaurant! We loved our time in Big Island and we think that Abra's place played an important role in how much we loved our experience!

Minh’s place is a treasure! The location looking over the ocean is breathtaking. We had the best sleep in months with the doors open and hearing the waves. Whales swam by a few times and walking to the beach was good exercise. I plan to return.

We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Hi! very pretty place near magic sands beach if you like to buggy board! place was clean and was the most organized air b &b I have every stayed in! everything labeled and super well stocked ( coffee beans, pots, pans, basic cooking necessities , food storage dishes , paper towels, cleaning supplies ) . Made it so easy to live there for a few days! The only thing I din't notice on the listing was that the owners live downstairs on a separate floor / separate entrance. That being said , I did not see anyone the entire time I was there , but I was worried my kids might disturb them , and usually try and book places without owners on the premises due to my children who are still young and always tusseling with each other ( boys! ) - overall an amazing stay. and host was very responsive to any questions. Mahalo!!

This place is perfect for 2 people! It is a drive from kona and many activities around but the drive is so scenic you hardly mind. The place was exactly like the photos, a great kitchen and bbq we were able to use and overall, all amenities described were perfect. Lovely decking to sit out on in the evenings! Overall this airbnb was great for the price and I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful four days at Jill's Mermaid Studio. Jill was out of town but Jason and Brian helped us with our every need. We enjoyed her friendly cats and chickens that greeted us in the yard. The outside shower is really cool! We walked the path to watch the sunset each evening. Manini Beach just a couple minutes walk around the corner is maintained by local conservation group so is super clean, and has an easy spot to get in the water to snorkel. We rented a kayak from Ehu and Kai ($80 for a double ocean kayak for 5 hours) to paddle over and snorkel at the Captain Cook Monument. If you want to do this it is very easy to sign up and pay right on their website and meet them at the landing just a block from Jill's place (other direction from beach). They provide a dry bag and life vests. Rent snorkel gear from them or bring your own. You can't land the kayak at the monument so you just pull it around behind you with a rope while you snorkel which was no big deal.

Our family loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the set up was perfect for our needs. We especially loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings, and falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs. The location was a further from the ocean than we realized, but we enjoyed the lushness of the hilly terrain and would stay there again. Susan and Iris were very responsive when we reported a few minor appliance issues and it didn't impact our overall experience.

We loved our stay at Mary’s place! Although it was a little more remote than expected, we appreciated the access to the different beautiful beaches in the neighborhood. The snorkeling at Manini Beach was spectacular! Because we had our 8 month old granddaughter with us, we also spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool. The “glamping” aspect of our stay was fun and we enjoyed the sounds of nature, particularly our rooster alarm at the crack of dawn which certainly helped us get our days started. We would highly recommend Mary’s place and wouldn’t hesitate staying again when on the island.

What more is there to add? The five star reviews say it all. The home is in a peaceful neighborhood but close to water, shopping, activities. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. Everything you need to cook is provided. Living in the treetops with abundant bird life is simply magical. The hosts have provided ever the you need for a great vacation stay. We would return here in a heartbeat.

We had a fantastic time. Wendy was proactive and responded immediately to messages. Condo was as described and the kitchen was well stocked. We really appreciated the beach chairs, coolers, ice packs and snorkel gear as well. We took a lot of day trips so it was nice not having to buy a styrofoam cooler or ice. The view from the lanai was amazing. We spent a lot of time there watching the boogie boarders and enjoying the sunset. There was also a cute little rainbow that would come and go behind the palm tree directly out the lanai. We did use the pool/jacuzzi a couple times both were well maintained. I choose Wendy's place both for the view and the proximity to town. It was an easy walk to morning coffee and the restaurants. All in all, it was a great trip. Mahalo

Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home on the ocean! We enjoyed watching the surfers and sunset daily from the lanai or floor to ceiling windows, the sound of the ocean waves so rhythmic and calming. The condo is quiet, the pool and hot tub are great after a day of exploring. The kitchen was decently stocked to prepare daily meals and the condo was clean and well taken care of. The location was excellent, close to town/restaurants in one direction and beaches for snorkeling and picnicking in the other direction. Jennifer had snorkeling equipment, boogie boards and picnic coolers available for our use. We also had a designated, covered parking spot with secure, but easy access to condo. A wonderful stay! I hope our family can return again one day!

The attention to detail in this updated condo is apparent. It is appointed with guests in mind--USB charging stations, water play equipment, well stocked kitchen, cooler, containers and ice for picnics... The waterfront location was great even though this isn't an ocean-facing unit, it is in a location that other occupants aren't walking by the front door, which is nice. Although we didn't use the pool, it was a nice little feature and appeared very well-maintained. We used the AC both for cooling the bedroom and to blur the traffic noise from the busy street below. It did the trick for both!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view was outstanding and great to see surfers every morning and afternoon. The condo itself was very comfortable and would stay here again.

This sweet condo was just what we needed! The pools and little porch were great and the ability to walk to the bench and see the sunset was perfect. It was so great to be able to use the umbrella and beach chairs on our outings. Great spot!

This was our 2nd stay here and we have already booked a return trip! The condo is clean, comfortable and so well stocked for inside and outside play! This location is fantastic! Snorkeling across the street is a treat! Fish counts and varieties were plentiful, and we saw turtles and octopus!! This trip we discovered Magic’s Beach Grill 1 mile away, enjoyed the walk to dinner and a view of the waves and turtles with a very good dinner!

Janell’s place was great and really comfortable with fantastic accommodations. The location is central and walkable. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time. . The place is right on the water and the view is amazing. It is very comfortable beautifully decorated. The bed is very cozy. Walkable to restaurants and shops. Great parking.. lots of little details like a tour book of sites to see. We would love to come back!! Aloha
