    Was the perfect place for our family of 13 to gather and celebrate my husband’s retirement. The sunsets, ocean views and spacious room within the house made for a most enjoyable stay. We really appreciated the AC in the bedrooms. Convenient location to nearby sites. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

    The constant sound of ocean waves, spectacular sunsets, spinner dolphins swimming by, and humpback whales spouting, all from the comforts of your open air living room, made this the best VRBO ever! Accommodated our 17 guests in comfort.

    This beautiful home a little over 1 mile to downtown Kailua Kona was chosen for our annual family gathering- this year 12 of us. Pros: It was perfect for walks to the beach (Kailua Bay) and town, running along Ali’i drive, and picking up groceries. The 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms provided great private space. The views oceanfront were gorgeous, ocean sounds, sunsets, sighting spinner dolphins. Our family enjoyed searching the tidal pools. Kitchen was roomy and we had yummy meals. Cons: the home did not level up to 5 stars due to details and expectations that were unmet. In the kitchen there was a broken cork screw opener, the coffee maker was quite awkward- took awhile to figure out that you had to reload a small white gizmo to make it functional, a separate ice maker with no directions that we never did figure out. (Fortunately there was ice maker in refrigerator). To our surprise there was NO Salt and Pepper, common items to have available… a Keurig coffee maker with no complimentary pods.. The outside grill had broken starter and required manual start with igniter. It seemed odd that in house directions received before check-in we were advised that there would only be cleaning items to last 3 days. Also it was felt Agency “over managed “ with directives, yet fell short with follow through At check in we needed to call for house code which had not been provided. For a house accommodating 12, hot tub very small (2 people)..Overall, we had a great time!

    We had booked this house & given them the deposit. Months later the owners realized the Kona Ironman had been moved to a different weekend and cancelled our reservation. They then re-listed for an insane amount of money & decided to price gouge. We knew a rental would be expensive for IM weekend, but the new amount was outrageous. VRBO said the owners aren't supposed to do that and they'll make a note to reprimand them (I'm sure they care). So FYI if you're ever looking to book through VRBO, know having a reservation and deposit means nothing & it can be canceled on a whim. I would stay far away from this homeowner because who knows when they'll pull this crap again. Don't say you weren't warned. We were just going to badmouth VRBO & the homeowner to friends but they asked us for a review on how our stay was, so here we are.

    This property was perfect for our family of 11. Most in Hawaii for the first time. It was worth every penny to stay in beautiful Dolphin Manor. We loved being all together enjoying the shared spaces, especially the lanai which was very safe for our youngest grandson of 19 months. Plenty of bedrooms, most with a view of the ocean and very nice spacious bathrooms. We made wonderful memories on this trip of a lifetime!
