Captain Cook vacation rentals

WARNING: You're going to love this place so much you wont want to leave to explore the island! Seriously, not much to add on top of other ratings, David was awesome with all our questions (tip: if you need an immediate answer, call dont text). I will miss sitting on the lanai for coffee each morning watching the kayakers head out, afternoon nap in the hammock, dinner on the lanai, the massage chair, falling asleep in the extremely comfortable bed while listening to the waves . . . I'm already dreaming of our return trip.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in Kendall’s Airbnb, and it exceeded all expectations. The home was cozy, immaculately clean, and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm, the space felt like home. Kendall was incredibly welcoming, he provided a sample of the coffee they produce on the farm which was such a thoughtful touch and it was delicious! The location was peaceful being away from the hustle yet convenient, with easy access to local attractions. We enjoyed the quiet afternoon on the private patio, surrounded by lush greenery. Every detail was carefully considered, from the well-stocked kitchen to the bath and bedding. It was a perfect short stay, and I would highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. I’ll definitely be back!

Host was amazing!! Great experience would definitely stay here again

Great spot to unwind. Incredible view from the lanai and everything you could need to relax. Pebble Beach 3 blocks away at the bottom of the hill is a great sunset spot, and it's a quick drive to some great snorkeling/swimming spots. Tons of little honor-system fruit stands nearby, and excellent poke on the main road towards Captain Cook. The host, Minh, was a great communicator, preemptively answering pretty much any question I could have come up with. Minh also sent a nice alert about surf conditions with a recommendation for a sheltered place to snorkel. Sorry to have to leave.

There's a reason (actually, a lot of reasons) this place is rated so highly. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We had a few concerns about staying so far from Kona, but it ended up being one of the best things about our trip. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, and there's a grocery store, great food and even shave ice within 5 minutes of the house. The kitchen is very well equipped and clean, and so we ate in fairly often. An unexpected perk was all of the beach toys available to use in the laundry area. So nice to have! The caretaker downstairs is also very quiet, and super friendly. And Mikael is a fantastic host. Yes, there are signs all over the house. Some are helpful and some feel excessive. And it can get pretty warm when it's hot outside (90 in November was surprising!), but neither of those things are enough to remove even half a star from this experience. We've already recommended the house to friends, and will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Great stay! The stunning view made for beautiful sunsets from the lanai. The kitchen was well-equipped. We picked avocados and oranges. There isn’t a traditional yard or garden, but the 2 lounge chairs on the lower deck sufficed since we spent days at the beach or exploring. We loved the birds, frogs, and lizards. Over-62 visitors should get the $20 annual US National Park pass to park at Pu'uhonua O Honaunau and enjoy both Two Step beach for snorkeling and the amazing historic park. Also, don’t miss the manta ray night snorkel! The 2-bedroom unit we stayed in has stairs, not a ladder, as some reviews suggest. There are several homes are on the property. The parking space in the garage was tight for our 4WD rental car, so the Amy kindly offered to trade her outside space. Note that the driveway is STEEP. Priscilla (and Amy) was fantastic, offering great restaurant and travel tips, local fruit, and even advice for our shelter dog outing with the Hawaii Island Humane Society. Mahalo!

This was by far our favorite place to stay on the island. We would walk to Manini beach every day for the sunset and walked a block to rent a kayak and paddle to captain Cook for snorkeling. Best of all is the peace and beauty of the area. The apartment was well stocked with all we could need and sleeping to the Coqui frog chorus was delightful. Jill really made us feel welcome and accommodated all our needs. She went above and beyond. The fresh fruit from her trees and landscape were also something to appreciate. Would love to come back one day

Beautiful home with an ocean view. The location itself was a bit windy, but we knew that would be the case before arriving. Scenic drives through Naahelu, the Volcanic National Park and also South Point, all relatively close by. Totally worth it! Hopefully we can come stay again someday.

Suzanne’s pictures were spot on. The place was cozy and great location. The kitchen had some supplies which was nice not to have to buy for a few meals. Highly recommend this condo. She was excellent as our host!

Beautiful place, would stay again. The view of the water was amazing and waking up to the sound of the waves was great. Close by to lots of nice shops and eateries, laundry facilities were a bonus and the apartment was spacious, clean and light. Very responsive host providing clear and detailed instructions. Super easy to check in and find. Parking included.

We basically were just there to sleep but Terry's place had everything we needed. Was great, would stay there again.

We loved staying at this location due to the beautiful beach views. Sunsets were amazing from the lanai. Home was clean and had all the beach essentials. I am a light sleeper but my husband slept great with the natural noise machine from the waves. Convenient location above da poke shack, magic sands beach and short drive to town. Would stay here again without hesitation.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here! Easy access to the beach next door, went to the attached restaurant a few times, not an extremely busy area yet not too far from downtown, with the unit having almost everything we needed. It was great to have the sun chairs, umbrella, and cooler. Husband’s bonus comment: Good quality plunger in unit. The photos of unit are accurate and I loved being right on the water. During the evening star gazing was incredible. For our stay, the building was under construction but it didn’t disturb us or our stay at all. Charlie so quick and responsive to all of the questions I had. I’d highly recommend this spot. Thanks!

We loved our stay at Joe's! We love this part of the island, and this is one of the few available accommodations with an ocean view. We especially enjoyed soaking in the communal hot tub at sunset overlooking the ocean and having morning coffee and tea in the shaded patio of the condo which has a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. We also appreciated the various accoutrements for making coffee and tea! And the fully stocked kitchenette. It's a cleverly designed small space that feels more like a one bedroom apartment than a studio. Thank you, Joe! We hope to be back soon!

We loved our stay at Davide's place! The ocean-front view was spectacular! We saw spinner dolphins every day and humpback whales one day. The view alone made everything worth it. It was also quiet and very peaceful. It was well stocked and laundry machines were in the unit. We would absolutely stay there again. Thanks Davide!

Ocean view….we loved waking up to the view of the ocean and the sound of the waves. It was very relaxing. The unit was very clean and comfortable. Usually, when I travel, I don’t get good sleep, but this time, I slept so well. The mattress was very comfortable. Parnaz responded very quickly to any questions we had. She gave cleared instructions that made it easy to access the property and use any equipments in the unit. She provided recommendations for things to do and places to eat, which was very helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lynn is a great host and her apartment is perfectly located in a tranquil setting. If you are looking for a quiet and well appointed apartment that is still close enough to drive to town, this is it. We used Lynn’s apartment as a base for the Kona Ironman. The location up the mountain allowed an escape from the hustle of town and respite from heat in the evenings. Perfect!

This place is absolutely beautiful, even prettier than the pics. The beds are comfortable, a fully equipped kitchen. Such a cozy house with great vibe. Too bad we only stayed for 2 days. 100% will come back and highly recommend.

This is a beautiful peaceful place. I loved the light created in the space and the big trees and green bushes surrounding it. It’s also close to hiking in part of the national park. I loved sitting on the balcony of the apartment in the rocking chair listening to rain and seeing the happy mama pig and her young ones roaming. As was the rescue donkey. Frogsong at night gives way to birdsong. A retreat space for me. The hosts have created a harmonious environment. I recommend Amas food truck and the Friday Saturday Italian pizza

This place was exactly what we were looking for! Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, warm and welcoming. Halfway between Hilo and Kona, we were able to really explore the whole island. The best part was waking up, looking out the window and watching the sunrise. If we come back, we know where we’re staying.

Great space with an amazing view! Close to the airport and easy to find with Kathy’s clear directions. Would highly recommend!

As the description says it's nestled in the homes of the locals that live nearby a few miles up the hill. This suited us perfectly since we expected to explore the whole island during our week long stay and didn't expect to be beach side at all times. The space was well equipped with lots of options to chill, cook, nap or explore. My favorite was making breakfast and hearing the birds with the indoor/outdoor kitchen or sitting on the outdoor furniture watching the geckos play. They were experienced hosts who truly wanted us to have a great stay on the island. There were island books to use as a reference during our stay. When learning our flight wasn't until late that night they offered us to extend our stay after standard checkout without any extra payment, just Aloha. Having beach towels, beach bags, coolers, ice blocks and other amenities that were avaliable was a plus for our adventures without having to bring, buy or rent from elsewhere. Lots of little things to elevate our stay.

Love Kat & Joe's place, It's in a nice, quiet, and safety Neiborhood. ocean view Infront of the house gate. Love the full kitchen even we rare cooking but it makes you feel like home. Easy to assess around area, close to some beaches and 30+mins to Kona. Beautiful weather, cools in evening and morning, wonderful garden with many different fruit trees (you can pick as long as they are mature). Kat and Joe are responsible for questions and very nicely to pass by and check to make sure we have everything in needed. Total all we enjoy our stay very much; we have fun and very satisfy of Kat and Joe's place and host; we wish we can stay longer but defiantly will come back again.

"Aloha Spirit at Its Finest! We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property! The hosts' hospitality and warmth made us feel right at home. The tropical garden was a serene oasis, and we loved being able to pick fresh fruits from the trees. The location was perfect – we enjoyed breathtaking ocean views and were just a short 15-minute drive from shopping centers and the best beaches. Communication and service from the hosts were top-notch. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic Hawaiian experience. Mahalo to our wonderful hosts!"
