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!

7 days at big island

Charming condo, with all the necessities. The neighbors downstairs are very nice, as is the landlady next door. Not far from the ocean. Quiet location, with birdsong and the smell of flowers in the morning. We really enjoyed it.

Relaxing stay

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!

Steps from the beach

Budget travelers will appreciate this well-equipped place in beautiful Napoop’o on Kealakekua Bay. Two of us did multi-hour dives from the beach, which a mere five-minute walk away. On top of that, Kay is a such a gracious host.

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.

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!

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.

Everything you want

The house was stocked with food, filtered water, chocklate, juice, lotions, sunscreen, anything you might need. Kai fixed anything wrong immediately and gave us fruit daily. The location is the best for attractions & snorkeling. The house is very dpacious. The only thing wrong is that Kay's place made the next place i went to very disappointing because i was used to such a great host, space, and check in.

Best Location!

The location of this rental couldn't be better! It is steps from the bay and from kayak rentals to head out to the monument. Two-step and the place of refuge are just a couple miles down the road. The house itself is spacious and clean with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen. Air conditioning in one bedroom. The host was kind and courteous, helping us settle in despite the late hour of our arrival and the downstairs neighbor was such a delight to chat with and meet her cats. Highly recommend! We hope to be back.

We really enjoyed staying at Kei's property. The space and grounds were exactly as depicted. It was spacious, clean and suited us and our stay perfectly. Enjoyed the location, very close to Mainini Beach and the Place of Refuge. Kei was very kind and helpful even when we accidentally locked outselves out, twice. Felt like we were staying with friends.

Kay was so kind and shared fresh fruit from her fruit stand. We loved the short walk to the beach. It was so close and we walked there to snorkel and watch the sunset. We were just down the road from Two Step beach. The unit is dated but very clean. It was a great base for our vacation

This cute apartment reminds me of my grandma’s place. Apartment is older, but it has everything that you need in there. It is walking distance to a small bay where you can snorkeling with beautiful fishes. There is a fruit stand right outside where you can get local fruits. Kay, the owner is super nice and friendly. The only down side is the apartment is on second floor and can get pretty warm in summer time. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the stay.

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.
