I was looking for more of a traveler’s oasis than a generic hotel stay, and can’t imagine a better place to have found it in Hawaii. Kealakekua Bay is magical, and so is this stay. The hosts are warm and kind, and the vibe is very relaxed and authentic. Highlights include the 5-minute stroll to Manini Beach to snorkel right off the beach, walking to rent a kayak to cross the bay to the monument, the beautiful drive up the hillside to nearby highlights, eating fresh honey from the garden, deep sleeps in a comfortable bed with sheets dried in the sun, watching the sunset at the beach across the street, and following the antics of the wee puppy, Kiki. Highly recommend this stay, can't wait to be back.
