We just wrapped up a 10 day vacation on the Big Island, and this vacation rental exceeded my expectations in every way. The home is beautiful and it was spotless. The location can't be beat, it is right across the street from Kealakekua Bay, which some say has the best snorkeling in the entire state. We rented kayaks twice to go to the monument, you can walk 5 minutes down the road and rent them. This place is special, and if you are thinking of staying in the Captain Cook area I would highly recommend this home. Check in was easy, and morning coffee came with breathtaking views of the ocean. You can sleep and listen to the waves all night. Plenty of room, we had a party of 8 people. Large kitchen to cook in. Just really one of the best places Ive ever stayed.
