Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Captain Cook

A great area to stay at - I'm really glad we chose this Airbnb! The cooler weather was welcome and mountainous scenery was beautiful.

Minh is truly a super host, attentive to detail and to her guests’ needs. She will make you feel at home from the moment you step into her beautifully decorated and fully equipped home. Communication is important to feel relaxed while on vacations. Minh was permanently in touch with us, making sure we were feeling comfortable. When we had problems with the water heater and the ice maker, she fixed them in no time. She even contacted a friend of hers to provide us with ice for our cooler. This friend also gave us fresh eggs from her hens. It was so nice to experience the hospitality of the people in the Big Island! The view of the sunset from the balcony is a piece of art. Her immaculate garden is a treasure. The beautiful color of bamboo in her furniture complements the colors of the sun and brings out the warmth of the house. Minh’s quaint home and hospitality brought peace, joy, and rest to our lives! We came back home renewed. Mahalo, from the bottom of our hearts!

This was a return trip to this Airbnb. We love this place. Great space. Lots of room. Great views. Hot tub etc. it is a quiet area and private. It is a short drive to anything that you are looking for. Definitely recommend.

First thing I must say is that the beds were very comfortable! The location was great, not too far from Kona activity but far enough away you can feel like you’re in the quiet country. (Minus the charming frogs at night but it was cool enough to shut the windows). Excellent view of the ocean. Having laundry was so helpful. We had 5 people there. A little tight… perfect for 4 but it was fine for 5 using pull out couch. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful 7 day stay. Our 3 boys (16, 13, and 10) spent hours on the diving board and in the pool. Sandra’s place had everything we needed for beach trips, including beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and beach towels. I was so happy to have a washing machine to wash out the sandy towels and suits after our beach trips. It was a 5-10 minute trip for Costco,-target and Walmart and a 30-40 minute trip to Hāpuna Beach (don’t miss the Malsada stand on the highway on your way). We would come back to the house to cook supper, swim more in the pool, and watch the sunset from the beautiful yard. We also got a lot of use out of the basketball net in the driveway, and volleyball net in the side yard. Sandra was extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay, including local recommendations. Would definitely stay again if on the Big Island!

We wanted to stay somewhere away from the city and have more of a genuine Hawaiin experience and we couldn't have been happier with our time at Kat and Joe's. Their property is serene, the proximity to the beautiful beaches is perfect and they are kind, welcoming hosts. We hope to stay there again sometime soon!

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

The Sugar Shack was a great stop on our vacation. Gary was an exceptional host and showed us all the great snorkeling areas. We were very happy with the communication and all he provided at his rental.

My second time here -- the best house, with the kindest hosts. Well-stocked kitchen and living space, and I love this neighborhood so much.

The house was cozy and comfortable. We loved the outdoor shower & jacuzzi. Kathleen was very friendly, she explained everything in the house and gave us a warm welcome. There was fresh fruit from the garden for us every day! We would definitly recommend this place!

Kathy’s place was perfect for us near Kona and close to everything. She was extremely helpful and responsive and we would rent again!

Beautiful views surrounded by ʻōhiʻa in bloom. Wendy was responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Olga's place was clean, easy to find and check into, and a short drive from the beach!

Very good place to stay and nice amenities.

Best place we could have stayed. The amenities were above what we expected. Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas, cold filtered water, everything was extremely clean like what you’d expect at a very nice hotel. Spacious parking. Grill if needed and a full kitchen. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Great size closets and lots of room for all your luggage. Even the TV access was a great perk. So many local shops and markets to visit within less than 5 minutes away. If we come back, we would definitely stay again and refer to anyone else visiting the Big Island. Our room was on the third floor and it provided the most beautiful view of the ocean with lots of patio space.

Ka'Haiya's place had a great zen energy, located in one of the last unspoiled corners of the Big Island, you can really disconnect and relax. Green Sand Beach is an adventure just down the road, Black Sand Beach is a quick drive. Being in the South Point, you have equal distance to go East to Volcano National Park or West to all the beautiful beaches. We also covered Mauna Kea summit and the East Coast on our short 5 days stay. Ka'Haiya is a perfect host, quick to respond and offered us great suggestions; we enjoyed sampling the fresh exotic fruits at her farm stand.

This is a nice studio condo in a great location! Easy access to most of the activities in the Kona area being within a 30 minute drive and many restaurants and shops within walking/biking distance. Condo is clean, comfortable and well stocked with basic needs and the common areas are a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean views and sunsets. Overall a great experience and would happily recommend and/or use again!

Thank you Dominique and Fabio for everything. Your place is truly stunning we had such a perfect time. The beach gear was so much fun for our beach days, the location was great and close to pretty much everything we wanted to do on the trip, we loved our morning coffee on the lanai, and the decor was a plus, loved it all! We also got engaged on this trip and I will never forget it. ❤️ Mahalo

Beautiful stay. Beautiful majestic views and conveniently located close to the airport and Kona activities. The place was clean and had everything one could need. The kitchen was useful for cooking our own meals and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. I also loved seeing the little animals in the neighbors yard next door. The place had extra towels, blankets and other supplies you may need that made this place a great stay. I highly recommend.

Our stay here was perfect. Location was amazing right by the beach at a peaceful community, great for viewing sunrise/sunset. The place was just as pictured, very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

place was beautiful! spacious and very well kept. location was great just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the strip down the road. host was responsive and helpful!

Stacey's condo was great, comfortable couch and bed. Very close to the pool. Centrally located. Highly recommended.

This Airbnb was a lovely find! We especially enjoyed the little balcony, the accessibility to shops and restaurants, and the ease of check in.

This condo was perfect for our Honeymoon! It was an end unit and provided amazing private views of the sunset every night. We didn’t close the glass doors once during our stay, as the ocean sounds and breeze were lovely. It was a quick drive to most “touristy” activities, like snorkeling, walking food tour, coffee farm tour, shopping, beaches, etc. Also I would definitely recommend reading the guestbook for the great food and activity recommendations from previous guests!
