Perfect setup for two families with teens. Mornings on the porch sipping Kona coffee were priceless. We also loved the private snorkeling spot right in front of the house. Use the large flat rock for entry. We can’t wait to visit again!

This house was amazing! Beautiful Ocean views! Big bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Each room had its own AC - however the main living area/Kitchen area did not have AC. It was cool enough in the morning and evenings with the windows and doors open, but a little warm during the heat of the day. Location was great and easy to find. This place was beautiful! We really enjoyed our stay. Also, thank you so much for letting us stay a couple extra hours so our baby could finish her morning nap! Really appreciate it.

We had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Manor, the views are amazing night and day. The outside living area is compact but adequate for the 12 of us. especially with the doors that open to the lanai from the living room. Lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance since parking is expensive and tight.
Guest
The property was so beautiful and just right for our extended family. Enjoyed the fabulous sunsets, the sound of the waves, and the proximity to restaurants, the farmers markets, and beaches. Hosts were super welcoming and helpful. Really appreciated their information.

Beautiful view from the place! Great location close to Kona downtown, very walkable. The pool is smaller in real life than on the picture, but overall matched the description. Overall would recommend this place!

We had a wonderful stay, the view was incredible!!! It was so hard to leave. There were lots of places for our party of 9 to spread out around the house and patios. The pool is very small so we didn't use it much. We were able to get to our destinations easily. though we did need to drive to every place but the farmers market. I would love to go back and stay again some day.
