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

This was our third visit to Kathie's place. It's a little slice of heaven for us! The beautiful sunset view from the lanai can't be beat nor the crashing waves on the seawall in front of the pool. Be sure to bring your binoculars to view dolphins and whales, a variety of boats and parasailers from the lanai. The unit is beautifully appointed with lovely artwork and furnishings. The bed is very comfortable and having A/C and ceiling fans were greatly appreciated after a long day at the beach. Kathie is a 5-star host who is very attentive and prompt to respond. We will definitely be back on our next visit to the Big Island. Mahalo to Kathie and her team.

Kathy's place was well located - just on the outskirts so you can have quiet and not far from fun. The condo itself met all of our needs. Kathy didn't leave any details out, which makes it feel like home. We'd love to stay there again soon!

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

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!

Second time staying here and would do it again. Great location with easy access to all that downtown Kona has to offer. And not a bad view from the patio with your morning coffee!

We had an unforgettable stay at Swell! We adored Papaya’s company and sweet nature - we’ll be back just to see him and enjoy the incredible sunsets on Swell’s relaxing veranda. The local food was delicious! The snorkeling was some of the best we’ve ever experienced in Hawaii! And the beaches were beautiful. Thanks to all the amazing recommendations! We’ll be back!

A great location, beautiful views, and a great host team.

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 house is a beautiful gem in a very peaceful location. You can hear the birds and have a great view.

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.

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!

Great location. We loved listening to the surf with the windows open early morning. Loved watching the fish from the lanai. Staci was great. Gave us great advice and was super responsive to our questions. Thanks!

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!

Great condo away from tourist area but not far from restaurants and grocery stores. I like being in small building instead of big resort. Well stocked kitchen and furnishings up to date. Clean and quiet. Real hot tub with jets was nice after being out on excursions all day! Kristina was very responsive and helpful. The coffee grinder broke and she had on sent to me within an hour! I would definitely stay here again if I return to the big island again!

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!

This condo is right on the water - nothing but a strip of lawn between you and the water. It has a nice lanai ( balcony) with a dining table and chairs for four and a couple of lounge chairs. The kitchen is reasonably well kitted out. Paul was exceptionally responsive and nice.

Such a beautiful space! Close to everything. Would stay here again!

Lee and Courtney’s place is incredible. The pictures are wonderful but being there is on another level beautiful. The space is spotless clean, bright, and has a great breeze that comes off the ocean. The air conditioning works great if you need it to cool off. We never had to worry about running out of everyday items: paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. If you like to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped with: pots, pans, cooking utensils, all of which is super clean. There is more than enough: plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware. This was the most well equipped short term rental I have ever stayed in. Appliances are new and work great. Bathrooms are updated and super clean. Just a wonderful experience! Lee checked in with us a few times over our stay to make sure everything was perfect and that we were doing well. I will be back and will rent from Lee and Courtney again!
