Honaunau-Napoopoo House | Mermaid Paradise - a breath away from Kealakekua Bay

2 Bedroom House in Honaunau-Napoopoo, Captain Cook

My Mermaid Paradise, a wonderful spot to leisurely relax and re-new. Smell the flowers at my privately gated, custom home. Two large, comfortable bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. Evenings provide silky Hawaiian 'mauka' (mountain) breezes. Awaken to sounds of songbirds, surrounded by beautiful gardens with lily ponds.
My home has been rented long term for 5 years! The folks who were vacationing when the pandemic began, loved it so much they never left!
They recently they bought their own home & they are sad to leave my Mermaid Paradise!
If you want to read my more recent reviews, please look at my "Mermaid Studio" (my other rental)
I have painted the entire interior and upgraded with new furniture since!
Only 2 minutes walk down the road and you are at the ocean!
I can share this sweet video with you;

My Mermaid home, newly decorated, 1150 square feet is in the middle of the Manini Beach sub-division at Kealakekua Bay.
Charming and bright, a gourmet kitchen with coconut wood bar, a large pantry and a dishwasher. Everything you would like to enjoy dinner with an artistic dining area.
The living area has two new couches that each fold down to a bed (this home sleeps 6 total) -
If you have a larger party, downstairs my Mermaid Studio may be available too. My Mermaid Studio is lovely and spacious with a Cal King bed, a queen sofa, kitchenette, full size fridge and my favorite custom, outside shower is delightful. Please inquire for larger groups or a separate rental.
For your convenience WIFI is available throughout this home.
Enjoy the salty breezes as you barbecue on this large 450 square feet Hawaiian style covered lanai. Listen to the ocean as you relax and unwind after a day of adventure. Relish the beautiful tropical gardens, fruit trees and lotus ponds, which surround this lovely vacation home. Sweet aromas will remind you to stop and smell the essence of the island's aloha spirit.
A short walk down to Manini Beach, on the south side of Kealakekua Bay, Mermaids enjoy the snorkeling, which is so wonderful in the morning. Watching the fish go about their morning clears my mind, healing happens as my body floats!
Beach towels, beach chairs, body boards, foam noodles, coolers, some snorkel gear, life preserver and a beach umbrella too!
Only about 200 steps to the mouth of Manini Beach, or the South entrance at Kahauloa Bay is all an incredible underwater protected ocean sanctuary where Captain Cook sailed into Kealakekua Bay.
Swim with the whales, bottle nose dolphins, green sea turtles, mantas, eagle rays and enjoy world class snorkeling!
Old Hawaii reaches out in every direction as you explore the Napo`opo`o Beach neighborhood, Captain Cooks memorial, Ke`ei Beaches and experience the 'Place of Refuge' (2 steps) at 'Pu`u Honua O`Honauanu' Beach Park.
This 'Place of Refuge 'is a 10 minute drive from my location, a sacred place that is of great religious and historical value to the Hawaiian native culture. There is so much to explore, hike and the swimming is wonderful too!
Kayak, Scuba, paddle board, surf, bike, or hike, explore the Big Island, feel the power of the goddess Pele's creation, relax, rejuvenate, and cleanse your heart with the essence of the spirit of aloha!
Surrounded by the beauty of old Hawaii, discover the many ocean adventures just steps from this private 2 bedroom, 2 full baths vacation home on the Big Island.
Kealakekua bay is located on the Kona Coast, 12 miles South of Kailua-Kona. An historical location, well known for the death of Captain James Cook, the European explorer who made first contact with Native Hawaiians in 1778 at Kealakekua Bay.
(which means 'Pathway to the Gods')
Kealakekua Bay is also one of all Hawaii's most spectacular coral reefs. This is a Marine Life Conservation District where fish are plentiful and swarm over the well developed reef formations that slope steeply from the shore into the nearby deep water. Spinner dolphins and green sea turtles are commonly seen resting in the bay.
Come and enjoy a swim or snorkel in some of the world's most pristine water! Bring your underwater camera too,
45 minutes from Keahole, Kona Airport
15 minutes to local produce markets, healthy food stores, shopping, restaurants, and local theater.
Only about 200 steps to the ocean at Kealakekua Bay.
My 'Manini Mermaid' Vacation Hideaway is perfect location to enjoy Hawaii!
This old Hawaiian fishing village of Napo`opo`o is known for world class snorkeling. Enjoy my comfortable, quiet Mermaid vacation home, surrounded by tropical flowers and fruit trees.
10 minutes drive to Pu`u Honua O`Honaunau National Park (2 steps). Walking distance to many adventures in this small neighborhood.

Summary: Jill was a great communicator and really accommodating. The location was wonderful; just a block to one beach and two blocks to another. The place itself is extremely comfortable, well appointed and is a real gallery of art.
