This absolute Ocean Front Home it is not situated on a sea cliff but is just a few feet above sea level on sheltered PaPa Bay. Because of this lots unique topography and elevation you are just above the water line and a few steps from walking to the water. Additionally a minute walk away is a public access point in the Bay which the neighbourhood uses to safely go into the water. Please refer to our pictures for a better appreciation of our location on the Ocean. Aside from the superb ocean location and access this house affords, it is a fairly new concrete home designed to meet and surpass all the latest safety and building codes. It is a 2 Bedroom home with the Master Bedroom having an oversized King sized California Bed. This room has a 12 foot wide glass sliding door directly facing the Ocean. The second bedroom has a queen bed. This 2nd bedroom room has a large 6 foot by 4 foot window for views of the Ocean also. In addition it has another 6 foot x 2 foot window for mountain views. The house has 7 separate sliding glass doors which capitalize on it's stunning ocean views. Appliances are all brand new.. The cabinets in the kitchen were custom designed and built for the home. Finally the best way to describe our home is to simply let our previous guests who have stayed there do it for us. It has been almost 7 years since we built the home brand new and have we have been renting it. We have had numerous guests over the years and everyone so far has been very happy with the home and our communications and tips that we give them. This has made Mindy and I very happy knowing that when we set out on building our dream to make a perfect vacation home , it has been realized based due to the happiness and satisfaction of our past guests.

The pictures do not do this place justice! The house was truly beautiful, had everything we needed, and had amazing oceanfront views! Dan was phenomenal before, during, and after our stay. I cannot recommend this place enough. If we ever come back, we will be staying here again!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the house. The host was very friendly and gave us great advise about what to see and do in the area.

10.0 / 10.0

12 glorious days of sun, fishing, utter relaxation, and an 800 foot lava fountain to put the cherry on top! Hale Hokulani was equipped with everything we needed. View is breathtaking & the hubby enjoyed catching our dinner right outside. All the sliding glass doors and ceiling fans keeps the house nice and cool. There was an internet outage that covered a large portion of the island and Daniel was great about keeping us updated on the status. You are about an hour from Kona & two hours from Hilo. Perfect if you want to do some day trips. Besides the lava tower, watching our niece's halau win top honors at Merrie Monarch made the trip priceless! Mahalo Daniel, we will be back. Aloha, A Hui Hou!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful VRBO rental, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The ocean view from the property is absolutely breathtaking, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop for a relaxing vacation.The host was fantastic, offering great communication prior to our stay and throughout. They were available to answer any questions and provided excellent recommendations for local points of interest. We enjoyed exploring the nearby attractions, which added so much to our trip.Overall, I highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful getaway with stunning views and top-notch hospitality.

Comfortable and spacious lodging. Perfect for ending our month-long visit to the Big Island. The sounds of the waves was hypnotic. I needed internet to teach and, despite the remote area, was teaching kids on the mainland. You need to be a bit rwith all my tech.

10.0 / 10.0

The location of this house on the lava rock cliffs overlooking the ocean is amazing. The sound of the waves day/night, and the beautiful blue water is something we enjoyed every day. The location is a bit (45 minutes) out of Kona, so if you don't want to drive much, this probably isn't for you. We enjoyed the winding drive in and out of the neighborhood. The neighborhood itself was very quiet and peaceful. The house is nice with lots of little perks (spices, ample outdoor seating, etc.). The furnishings aren't fancy but are fine. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel, this isn't it, but if you are looking for a quaint, lovely place on the ocean, we would definitely recommend this rental.

Daniel is very helpful with suggestions for beaches, restaurants and other activities. We were there for our 50th wedding anniversary and the house was in a laid back area with great ocean and shorelines visuals that we enjoyed immensely.

This house was very comfortable and clean. The location right next to the ocean, listening and watching the waves crash against the rocks was wonderful. The owner was great and very helpful when we asked, always responded to any question.

Just what we were looking for. If you want to just relax and enjoy staying at a wonderful spot, this is it. Our host was very helpful and gave us good info on close by water and beach access. We brought our kayak with us and enjoyed the ocean without having to go very far. Would definitely stay here again. any real distance from the house.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved the house. The neighborhood is so quiet, we saw a few people walking in morning or evening but other wise didn’t see or hear anybody. It is amazing to open all the doors and windows and sleep to the sound of the ocean. The sunsets are beautiful from the back porch. It is best to stock up on groceries in Kona, there is small stores within 10 minutes but the prices are higher, they do have just about everything you would need. We got some water 1st day at store but then refilled the water jugs provided, the water you get at fill stations taste good. The house was well stocked with basic salt,pepper, coffee filters, small cooler and then odds and ends people have left. We enjoyed just sitting on back porch enjoying the quiet. My husband fished off the rocks and caught quite a few little fish. He snorkeled in front of the house and saw a lot of fish. We went to the park by the house and walked into the beach. It is short hike and only us and another couple on beach all day. We explored a lot of beaches on south end and most were less crowded, you have to hike a little less than a mile for some but payoff is no one there. The road down is curvy but we didn’t find it bad, even drove it at night and it was fine. House is very easy to locate. Enjoyed talking to owner he was very nice and was there for anything we needed. Excellent place for relaxing and will stay here again.

We were looking for someplace away from the crowds that was peaceful and quiet and that’s exactly what we found at this property. On the water edge with access to snorkeling just down the road. Neighborhood is exceptionally quiet, which was wonderful. The host was easily accessible and provided plenty even information about the house and the area.

Property was very nice. We saw whales in the bay. Sunsets were phenomenal. Drive in was a little crazy, but once there, it was beautiful. We were out most of the day, so it wasn't a big deal, but there was active construction going on next door during our visit. Also, the mosquitoes were no joke. Strongly recommend bringing both spray and candles if you plan on eating outside.

10.0 / 10.0

Upon entering the property, you're met with the open spaciosness of the house, sliding glass windows on just about every wall to let you enjoy the immense beauty of the ocean surroundings. Large modern kitchen with everything you would need - The California king was so very comfortable, slept in complete bliss every night - This was our 4th time in Miloli'i, so the road down for is just like many other roads on the Big Island, windy - Dan the owner was extremely courteous and being just down the road, we knew we had someone we could count on, if needed - As far as we are concerned, if Dan and Mindy are renting, we'll be coming every year!

10.0 / 10.0

My family had a wonderful visit, and we enjoyed the privacy of this location. Every morning and evening we sat on the porch and looked for whales. Dan, the property owner, was very responsive and gave helpful recommendations for activities and places to visit. The house had everything we needed, and check in and out was very easy!! We plan to stay here again on our next visit to the Big Island!

The house has amazing views from the living and dining room spaces. Perfect for small families or a pair of couples looking to explore the big island. Be aware the location is a decent drive from both Kona and Hilo, so plan your shopping trips accordingly.

We had been in a VRBO two houses down - 9 yrs ago so knew all about the area - no surprizes except the new housing . Loved watching the waves and going to sleep with doors open and waves crashing in. Away from the city and quiet nights is what we want. Adequet internet and TV for those few lazy days. Place is spacious comfortable and clean. What else does anyone need? The skinny dipping teenagers a couple houses down one afternoon were a bonus. Kona is an hour way on a winding road, but that was well known to us and is not a problem as we dont care to visit the city we went the other direction mostly and visited the wilds.

10.0 / 10.0

First of all…we can’t say enough about the property’s owners. They are down to earth people who made us feel so much at home. They gave us tips on places to go and things to do. If we needed anything or had any questions they immediately responded. The house is very comfortable and homey but the view is absolutely breathtaking. If you are looking for a place to relax or a base to come and go from, we promise you will not be disappointed!! We didn’t want to leave and even though this was a bucket list vacation, we will probably go back!

Awesome spot. So quiet at night and good to look at stars from. Just what we needed. Daniel is an awesome host. Very helpful with vacation ideas . We did most of them and loved it. Kitchen very well stocked. It has everything. Will come back for sure. If you can arrive at daytime....not a bad idea. I still arrived at night with no issues just take your time.

We enjoyed our stay at the oceanfront house. The ocean view was amazing. The house was clean and fully stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The location was great. We found a great snorkeling area in the nearby Honomalino beach. We had the entire beach to ourselves. We enjoyed our morning hikes to the lava rock field at the end of the street. The star gazing was amazing. During our stay, it was very hot and humid. The fans and windows were inadequate to cool down the house at night. We wished the house had covered patios in the back to enjoy the house in the afternoon. Overall we enjoyed our peaceful stay and recommended this home to our friends.

Great spot….beautiful ocean view. Has everything you’ll need. Although it states they have things like shampoos and body soap. There was none…except for what maybe someone accidentally left from previous stay. Hosts are incredibly nice….communication with them is awesome. We ran out of a couple things and they got it to us super fast! Just an important fyi to anyone wanting to travel a bunch into Kona and such. This cute and quiet place is an hour away. And the road down to this really cute neighborhood and place is extremely winding…and at times nerve wracking…..especially in the dark. If you don’t mind the drive…this place is a sweet gem! And….the sunsets are out of this world!!

The host was great and the house nice and clean. If you want remote with lots of stars and quiet by the ocean then this is great. About 45 minutes from the world but not an issue for us. If you need civilization then maybe not for you.

This is where you want to go to escape from the hotel zone tourist traps. No time share presentations! Dan and Mindy are the perfect hosts. Thank you Mindy for that wonderful brunch talking story about life on the Big Island in this very special niche community. You'll be in a 2-bdrm home with full kitchen and a view of the stars from the sliding ocean-facing bedroom doors to kill for. It's life on the rocks (lava rocks). And large sliding doors throughout the home to showcase the lava shelf meeting the ocean. Great snorking off of a quaint dock about a block away. You'll experience the rural life of the modern day islander living at the base of a volcano. (But the technology is there too - high speed internet connection providing seamless video streaming if you bring your own device.) Be prepared for the thrill of an 11-minute drive down a winding mountain road to arrive. Not for the faint-hearted - but the road is paved and well-maintained, unlike some other roads like this in Hawaii. No need for a 4-wheeler. And part of the overall experience. Great beaches within 20-30 minutes drive once up on the highway. However - expect to encounter the full-on nature experience - which included the occasion buggy or tiny mosquito that inhabit the laval rocks surrounding all the homes in this type of setting. Not the Four Seasons. But definitely for the one who chooses to experience the road less travelled.

Was a great choice for our stay in Hawaii! The oceanfront views were a spectacular way to start and end our days, soaking in the beauty of the morning sunrise and the amazing sunsets right over the water. The home was very spacious and well cared for. With no shade and no AC there were times it got rather warm, however we used this time to explore and enjoy the island. Dan is great, he provided a lot of information that was helpful during our stay; both in regards to the house and around the island. With a just a short walk we were able to access the ocean for some morning snorkeling; the access however, even with the steps, can be a bit tricky as the steps can be slick and the waves crashing in. Overall it’s an excellent home and would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time staying at this house. If you are looking for a lovely house with an amazing view and away from the hustle of the tourist areas, then this is where you want to be. This is exactly what we were looking for! Every night we viewed fantastic sunsets. We didn't eat at a restaurant for dinner the entire time because it was so incredible to be there! The home was comfortable, nicely furnished, well equipped and in good condition. Because you're in a rather remote area, you need to watch water consumption, so you have to be willing to deal with this and not have a dishwasher. To us, it was totally worth it. Dan was a great host. He made great recommendations to us once he knew that we were interested in great snorkeling beaches. Of course we also went to Volcano National Park and visited Pahoa where the last eruption took place. While we were there, there was a threat of a tropical storm predicted to hit the Big Island. Dan spent a lot of time reassuring us that storms don't hit that part of the island but still made the necessary preparations. He came over to the house to talk to us and then kept us updated through text. He was right, we did not get a drop of rain! The storm veered south, though the Hilo side of the island did get some impact. We also met so many nice neighbors. We felt very comfortable there and would take a walk every morning. Thank you Dan for your hospitality and opening your home to us. Regards, Shelley and Gil

We had an amazing stay on the oceanfront. Dan was great in communicating details of the unit, places to visit and eat and was available to answer any questions. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation spot.

Coming from the Chicagoland area, I could not have asked for a more peaceful, paradise vacation! Don’t get me wrong, we explored literally all around the big island, immersing ourselves in all it had to offer. But to wake up and fall asleep to the sights and sounds that Dan’s home had to offer though, well that’s just what the doctor ordered (recharge, reset, rebalance, etc) and it really made the vacation! The house was spacious, clean, breezy (the ocean…LOVE), and had everything we needed! The night sky is incredible! We also witnessed rainbows over the ocean multiple times! The neighborhood itself was very quiet. I’m not a fan of some of the roads we experienced on the island, but that’s just me and my nerves…LOL. Dan is an awesome guy with a lot of knowledge and great recommendations, and is easy to get ahold of if needed

Secluded area with great snorkeling just steps away. We wanted to be closer to hiking in the southern part of the island. Roomy house with everything we needed. I would book this property again.

This is a unbelievable property about 40 feet from the cost of the ocean. It's located about an hour away from touristy Kona about an 1.5 hours from the Volcanoes. This is the place you want to be if you want to sit and listen to the ocean under the bright blue sky or the vibrant stars with no distractions. Sleeping with the ocean right outside your door makes for a wonderful nature soundtrack. The drive from the highway is very winding so beware if you get carsick. Overall our stay was beyond words & we would definitely recommend to friends.

The property was perfect. Spacious, clean and amazing front water views. The property is a bit close to water for small children but I had my kids run around mainly without shoes and they did not dare to step on the rocks! There is an awesome paved patio the kids enjoyed time on and of course inside the residence running back and forth! Only tiny complaint would be the drive down and up the main street to get there. It’s a good 10 minute drive of steep turns and curves but totally worth the views. Thank you for having us!

One of a kind, hear the ocean, surrounded by the lava landscape.... Yes, the place could use some updates, and it is quite a ways from stores and restaurants. But the place is huge and the kitchen is outfitted so you can cook up a storm. If you want to feel like you are in a retreat and be so close to the ocean, that you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean, then this is the place for you. There are nearby farms and fruit is available fresh from the stands in the neighborhood. Beaches close by, one you can hike to and usually just you or one or two other people. There were dolphins in the bay when we went. Hard to beat.

The property owner Daniel was a pleasure to work with. The house was so beautiful, and comfortable to live in. And you have the added bonus of Danial’s knowledge of the island for great sightseeing destinations Known only to locals.

We had a marvelous time at the Captain Cook house! Communication with Dan couldn't have been better and the house was exactly as described. We would definitely recommend this property!!
