Great views from a beautiful house
We greatly enjoyed our stay with the fantastic views and quiet, private location. The house is well-appointed and is fitted out with most things required, including beach towels, snorkels, fins and goggles. The owners communicate well and are helpful and quick to respond to any issues, always aspiring to a 5 star quality level. The Alexa notifications detracted a little from the relaxation. Overall, a great property that contributed to us having a terrific holiday.

65th Bday Celebration with Family
The photos on the VRBO site are completely accurate. This place is magical! Experiencing the sight and sound of the waves rolling into the small bay that is the centerpiece of the house, especially early in the morning and at sunset, was mesmerizing. The house is just far enough away from Kona center to feel private, but close enough to get supplies, dinner, etc.

"Peace on Earth"
Happy St. Patrick's Day! In opening my families review of this incredible property I will lead with: If you don't enjoy the sound of waves do not stay here! My family enjoyed this special place from February 20, 2024, until March 5, 2024. This property has everything you needed to feel like home. We cooked up many an incredible meal for family and friends that left no need to eat out each night. The Lanai table be it early morning or evening was a perfect setting to visit, watch sunrises and sunsets, enjoy the incredible meals, or just to rest in solitude. The lawn area below by the rock wall was a great place to sit in chairs and watch all the sea life below in the tide pools. Feeding the six eels when the tide was in was one of our trip's highlights. Any fish trimmings would always start a feeding frenzy when they located their prey. The beds were comfortable. The fans above and the sea breezes thru the patio door screens was all the cooling affect you might need. We didn't feel the need to turn on the A.C. at any time. The bathrooms like the whole house were very clean. Hot water was never a problem taking multiple showers in the morning or evening. The kitchen cabinets we loaded with everything you would ever need to cook whatever meal was needed. The electric stove was a little tricky for us, I think mainly all of us had gas ranges at home. The barbecue though simple did and incredible job at grilling great steaks and seafood. Thanks David you were a great host Cheers!

Great views with many hiccups
We booked Dave's place to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. The day prior to arriving, I had messaged Dave for check in instructions as I had not received anything. He replied many hours later saying he would text me the details. Never have I had to give personal phone number to get check in details, so I did not feel comfortable doing so, and on the day of the check-in, I messaged him on vrbo again for check in details. No reply. Long story short, we had to be re- wait 2 hours to get check in information

House was great, true to the pics. Feeding the eels, seeing the neighborhood cat, gazing at the tide pools, enjoying the hot tub, and lounging at the surf was awesome. Home was in great shape. Location is good too, very close to restaurants and beaches for snorkeling or enjoying the waves in the water at magic sands.

Hidden Gem - Gorgeous Location
Beautiful waterfront home near center of town with spectacular views from upstairs and downstairs master bedrooms. House gives a great tropical vacation vibe, well appointed with all comforts. It was a humid time in Kona but the whole house AC worked perfectly for sleeping while providing open access to the waterfront yard and porch. We are a 3-generation family of 6 adults (ages 74,73, 57, 50, 23 and 21) and it was perfect for all of us. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and made the entire process stress-free. I would come back again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful views
We had a wonderful time at this property. Plenty of space for our family of 5, well stocked kitchen and fabulous outdoor space. We loved that we could snorkel just steps away from the property, be careful at low tide though. Honestly we didn’t even need to snorkel anywhere else, there were so many fish right behind the house!

Gorgeous oceanfront paradise
WOW! This property—the house, the lanai, the yard, the view—is spectacular! Capt Dave was very easy to communicate with. Great house for a family. Those with very young kids will need to be attentive to stairs and backyard garden wall facing water. Snorkeling in the bay is great!

BEST EVER!
I can't say enough good things about this stay. The home was more perfect than we could have imagined. It had all the supplies and amenities we needed for a dream vacation by the sea for my hubby and I, our two teenagers, and their two friends. We loved the location right on the ocean. Just over the front yard sea wall was our own private little slice of ocean paradise. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, rainbows, a multitude of colorful fish, and moray eels. The eels came right up to be fed, which was super cool for all of us but especially the kids. The little beach next door provided great ocean access, but definitely watch out for sea urchins! Wear protective water shoes and you are in for a beautiful swim, snorkel, or boogie board experience. We were just close enough to Kona to easily bop into town for supplies, food, and fun, but far enough away to feel like we had our own quiet little place away from all the hustle and bustle. Awesome beaches were all within easy driving distance. Communication with the manager was excellent too. We will 100% be back!

About the host

Hosted by david p anderson

Host profile image
We love the Big Island because of its people and its raw beauty, and of course the dolphins and whales that live here. My wife and I run a Whale and Dolphin watching business. The waters near Kailua Kona are one of the best places in the world to swim with wild dolphins year round and these waters also have incredible humpback whale watching, in season.

Why they chose this property

I believe you will love this home, as we do, because of the beautiful view across Lyman's bay, which is considered sacred ground and it will never be developed. And you can look out at the open ocean as well. The pocket doors and windows disappear so you can literally bring the outside inside. It is only 20 feet from the turquoise water, and because it is a newer home it comes with central air, which is actually a surprising rarity in many oceanfront properties in Kona. I believe this home is one of the most beautiful homes on the Big Island. It has a simple unpretentious beauty. I love that we can share this home with others, like we have shared the beautiful dolphins and whales we love with others. Kona has so much to do; restaurants and nightlife, if you are looking to do that, or if you are like us, this is paradise for nature lovers. You will love the giant sea turtles and eels and fish and crabs and birds and geckos and dolphins and whales sighted at various times right from the home. Kona is a great community of people. And we are certain that you will enjoy staying in the center of this very culturally diversified community.
Mahalo,
Capt. Dave
