Relax, enjoy family and friends, and swim in the crystal clear waters of Kealakekua Bay.
The bay is practically at your doorstep. Kealakekua Bay, which means Pathway to the Gods, is a unique marine sanctuary that is home to pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins, turtles and other amazing marine life. Marvel at the dolphins and whales (in season). Admire the graceful green sea turtles and go nose to nose with a rainbow of exotic fish.
Sleep to the sound of waves and awaken refreshed to a chorus of birds.
Two bedrooms are located on the second floor, and one on the first floor. There is a separate entrance and sitting area/twin bed for the first floor bedroom. Each bedroom has an attached bath with beautifully tiled, walk-in showers. There is a deep, soaking tub in the master bath. Granite countertops with two sinks in each of the upstairs baths add to the beauty and convenience. Many guests say "the photos don't do it justice!"
Conveniently located as your vacation home base on the beautiful Island of Hawaii:
• Two minute walk to Kealakekua Bay
• Three miles to Pu`uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park (City of Refuge)
• Ten – 20 minutes to grocery stores, shops and popular restaurants
• Thirty minutes to Kailua-Kona town
• Beautiful two-hour drive to Volcanoes National Park
• Two - three hours to Hilo Town, Hawi, Hamakua Coast and much more
Our fully equipped kitchen has granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, two sinks, filtered drinking water, coffeemaker and grinder, blender and all cooking and serving utensils you’ll need. The living room, dining room, and lanai catch the tropical breezes in a true relaxed Hawaiian manner.
Relax on the lanai and watch as another spectacular Hawaiian sunset plays out before your eyes . . . truly a place to unwind and enjoy life! The lush landscaped areas hold surprises around every corner. Orchids, ferns and many varieties of palms grace the area. From the outdoor shower you can enjoy the view of the potted herb garden, bamboo and ti, which is used in many Hawaiian ceremonies. You may find ripe pineapples in summer, grapefruits and tangelos in winter. Bananas and coconuts may be ripe at any time.

Reviews
We (2 couples) stayed at Dolphin Bay house for 9 nights. The house itself is perfect, and even better than we expected from the photos. The rooms upstairs are spacious, and get great ocean breeze at night. We wouldn't have used AC even if it was available. We didn't use the downstairs room but it looks like it would be a great place for parents/teenager etc. to have some privacy. The house had everything we needed. You can get glimpses of the bay from the deck and living area, and it's less than a 2 minute walk. Most of the time there's less than 10 people at the nice shady and grassed beach park, which has a caretaker there during the day who is very helpful with tips on the local area and ocean conditions etc. There's really no sand left at the beach, but it has a little cove for a calm place to cool off in the ocean and a channel through the rocks for easy access to the bay for snorkeling. You can rent a kayak right by the house too. The road down from Captain Cook to the house is pretty narrow and windy, so be prepared for that, but it's worth it to be close to the bay. Other than the beach there's not anything else within walking distance, but if you're ok with that it's all part of the appeal of having your own paradise. Would stay here again 100 times before staying in Kona itself, much more peaceful, scenic and just felt like Hawaii.
The house was very comfortable, bedrooms were roomy and lots of room for a large family. The close proximity to a great park and beach was really ideal. The backyard and covered seating area is wonderful to cool down on hot days. If you want a unique experience that is not 'resort like' this is one we would highly recommend. Swimming with dolphins is a once in a lifetime experience.
What a fantastic house for a great family holiday in rural Hawaii! Our family of three couples felt very privileged to stay in this outstanding house: great style, modern superbly equipped, very clean and impeccably maintained. We enjoyed the diverse indoor and outdoor living spaces for all times of the day and all kinds of weather. We all truly enjoyed the house, its very creative garden setting and wildlife in lovely Kealakekua Bay and the surroundings. Thank you, Martha, for sharing this treasure with us.
We stayed at the Dolphin House for one week in late March 2015 and we loved it. The house is beautiful and it is in a very good partially secluded location. It fit our family perfectly; we were my husband and me, our daughter and son-in-law, their three children (aged 13, 8, & 21 mos.), and our son. Everybody loved the house--the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms quite nice. The spacious kitchen has everything you need for involved cooking and the appliances all worked well. The open and airy living/dining area and small office/library area were comfortable and well equipped and the small lanai is very nice. The ground-level private eating area with barbecue, full laundry, equipment room, and landscaped yards are useful bonus features. The house is very close to Manini Beach Park (two-minute walk), which is a great place for relaxing and snorkeling--there is an opening in the lava rocks that allows for easy access to the bay--the grandkids loved it. Kristin was wonderful to us and she was always available for assistance and advice. Also, very helpful was the Hawaiian docent at Manini Beach Park--she provided detailed information about Hawaiian culture and local history. We loved the Dolphin House and we highly recommend it.
Incredible house. Beautifully kept. Location could not have been better. we stayed here for our spring break with three little kids and grandparents. Excellent location as we were a minute walk to Manini beach and less than that to kayak rentals. My wife and 10 year old daughter were able to swim with dolphins in the bay, beach combing was great with lots of tide pools nearby. The facilities were excellent at the house with private back yard, outdoor shower to rinse off after ocean swims. we really enjoyed the bbq and patio too and the beds were about as comfortable as they come. The care-taker, Krista was very helpful and available too. An incredible place!
