Reviews

  • Aug 15, 2024 It was a great place to be. Thank you for hosting our family. Samuel Kang
  • Apr 03, 2024 Dolphin Manor was a perfect getaway for the women in our family! We all had our own bedroom and bathroom! The view was stunning, the house is well equipped and we enjoyed every minute! Dorothy Davila
  • Feb 14, 2024 What an amazing wonderful place. We had 12 stay very comfortably and really enjoyed ourselves. The proximity to restaurants and coffee shops was great. Angela Kimpo
  • Jan 08, 2024 The location is perfect! On the main drive where shops and restaurants are, but far enough away that you don’t get much noise. People in the area are really friendly and helpful. The house was stocked with enough towels, and kitchen supplies for our party of ten. Dishwasher pods, laundry pods, body boards, fishing rods, beach towels. You name it. Before going grocery shopping come to the house and check out the pantry. We tried to replace everything we used, and left back stuff for others like paper towels and dish soap etc. We loved the view. The hot tub was great. It was quite windy most days we were there, someone did come and clean out the pool when we asked if someone could come clean it. We did have an issue with one room, there was a smell in the bathroom, but it was addressed immediately and fixed. Our group of 10 had a great time. We would love to come back to this house again!! Thank you so much! Jessica Narain
  • Dec 18, 2023 This was a great place for our extended family to spend time together. We all had space to be together and space to sleep in our own rooms. The view and sound of the ocean was extra special. Jacquelyn Senekerimyan
  • Nov 14, 2023 We stayed at Dolphin Manor for a week (9 adults, 1 toddler and 1 child) and had a fantastic time. The place is beautiful, with amazing views overlooking the ocean. The house was clean, and well equipped with everything we needed, including a high chair and cot, pool and beach toys, and beach towels. The pool was small but was perfect for what we needed, and had a beautiful view. All rooms had ensuites, and the laundry was great with two sets of washers and dryers. The host was excellent and very responsive. The place is very close (short drive, or walk) to shops and restaurants and beaches. We would definitely stay there again! Jill Newby
  • Aug 16, 2023 Location! Location! Location! Perfect for our large family. Local attractions, food, and entertainment are walkable. If you want the perfect house for a peaceful getaway, this is it! Rona Culotta
  • Jul 20, 2023 The most beautiful place in the world!!! So peaceful, quiet, and spacious. There were 14 of us and we had lots of room and privacy!! Melisa Rice
  • Jun 30, 2023 Perfect set up 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! Pavlina Mitchell
  • Jun 17, 2023 My boys and I have been going away every summer for over 10 years. We meet up with my brothers and their families in different states. This summer it was Hawaii at the Dolphin Manor and I said to the kids, "I don't think we will ever be able to top this place." The kitchen is my dream kitchen and was stocked with sharp knives and top-of-the-line pots, pans, dishes, and any kitchen gadget you could think of - rice cookers, coffee/teapots, blenders, grinders etc. But it was "nature bathing" for tired souls from the east coast that got me - ocean therapy each morning, sunsets each evening, walks to town, etc was perfect. Thank you for a memory that will last a lifetime. Nina Dickerman
  • May 13, 2023 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. Laura Graham
  • Mar 29, 2023 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. Emily Kelly
  • Mar 18, 2023 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! Alpha Ding
  • Jan 15, 2023 What an amazing place to host our organization's retreat! The host was super responsive with literally everything, allowing some of us early access (early flights!) and granting late check out. There weren't any coffee filters on site and they came twice in the same day to make it right. Couldn't have been more pleased with their care, from start to finish. Mahalo! Jeremy Allen
  • Aug 15, 2022 We had a wonderful stay, the view was incredible!!! 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. Theresa M

Description

Experience the amazing views of the sparkling sea at the newly renovated Dolphin Manor by Gather. This home, located on the Big Island’s rocky west coast, provides the amenities and location to enjoy this beautiful setting. Experience the waves crashing from the wrap-around lanai of this stunning five-bedroom, six-bath estate. This private, gated plantation-style property oozes old-world charm but has all the modern conveniences that you crave. There’s no shortage of rooms with a view inside this nearly 3700 sqft home, and the backyard pool and spa provide sought-after outdoor space from which to enjoy the island breezes and ample sunshine that makes Kailua-Kona a popular destination. This home is a short walk to Kona town with a wealth of choices of shopping and restaurants.

Double doors lead into the foyer, where you’re greeted by vaulted ceilings and a grand staircase that flows directly into the great room. The fully renovated kitchen, with its top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and large island, is a chef’s dream. Whip up your family’s favorite meal on the gas cooktop while gazing out at the endless Pacific Ocean. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a spacious laundry room with dual washers/dryers, which could also serve as additional pantry space should you need it. Beyond the large dining table, the bright living room has lots of space to gather. The two larger sofas not only provide a comfortable spot from which to enjoy the view or to curl up with a book plucked from the built-in bookshelves, but they also transform into sleeper sofas to accommodate additional guests. The bright blue of the ocean is put on full display through the windows and a sliding glass door that leads out to the wrap-around lanai and the backyard beyond. Relax with an ice-cold drink on the poolside loungers as you take in the sights and sounds of the “gold coast.” Take a dip in the plunge pool, soak in the spa, or try your hand at a grilled local dish on the provided BBQ. The ground floor of Dolphin Manor also boasts an air-conditioned media room with comfy seating and a large flat-screen TV, as well as a private office so you can get some work done. These rooms also have access to a full bath.

Your entire extended family can join you in paradise when you stay at Dolphin Manor, as this property sleeps up to 18 guests! Wake up to never-ending ocean views from the king-size bed of the large primary bedroom. Glass sliders open to the wrap-around lanai, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or pick out the constellations in the sky at night. The primary bedroom also has a large flat-screen TV and its own private ensuite, with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Two of the upstairs guest bedrooms are ocean-facing and have lanai access, king-size beds, and ensuites, including one with a soaking tub. While the other two bedrooms have lanai access, king-size beds, ensuites with bathtubs, and an office area. All bedrooms have air conditioning and flat-screen TVs.

There is space in front of the home to park up to four vehicles, so rent a car and explore the Big Island! Visit world-class beaches like Makalawena or Hapuna, both in the Kailua-Kona region. Or if driving is not your thing, you can walk 5 minutes to a sand beach, Honl’s Beach. If you’re up for a day trip, make the drive to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, where Kilauea has been actively erupting since 1983 and isn’t expected to stop anytime soon. You can get a glimpse of this incredible natural phenomenon by booking a tour via boat or helicopter, or if you prefer to stay on land, you can hike over the rugged terrain toward the lava flow. The lengthy drive boasts spectacular scenery and is worth this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Please note that this property is not equipped with A/C in the common areas, such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
