The Dolphin House was simply amazing! The pictures and words do not do it justice. The home is in a great location to everything. The kitchen is very well stocked as well as the bathrooms and plenty of towels for everyone. We had 9 in our group and there was plenty of room for everyone to have there own space. We ate at the outside table for every meal and the views are amazing!!

This home is beautiful and wonderful for a multigenerational vacation! Nine of us from 67yo to 4 yo stayed for a week here and the home is set up beautifully for us. The layout allowed for nice privacy with separate bedroom/bath areas for folks. The main space downstairs has a wide view to the shore and large bank of windowed slider doors that opens to a wonderful long table on the patio where we ate all our meals. The small but very adequate pool was used alot. This home had a very well supplied kitchen and was a core piece to a very fun vacation for us all. We even saw whales several times from the patio. The property manager and owner reached out with helpful vacation planning resources ahead of time and made themselves available if needed during our stay. I would love to go back!

Celebrated our 25 th wedding anniversary with our family, in the Dolphin House. Renewed our vows on the patio with the ocean in the background. The house was perfect for our family of 8 adults and three grands under 6. We were in the pool and at the huge patio table each night for dinner together. The study was perfect for playing cards while still being near the rest of the family and everyone had a quiet space to retreat when a nap was in order. The neighborhood was gorgeous and, both the beach nearby and the rocks in front of the property were great places to explore. Air conditioning was a MUST and the main areas of the home are not air conditioned which was a little uncomfortable so we spent a lot of time in the pool. There are also bars and coffee shops within walking distance and could even walk to town just over a mile. Saw dolphins and a cruise ship right from the patio and the sunsets were amazing! All in all it was a perfect week spent in this beautiful home.

The dolphin house made our family trip. It is perfect and was great for all ages. There’s too many amazing things about the house to fit in one review. The pool was a great temperature, the outdoor table was massive, and watching the sunset while the waves crashed on the lava rocks was unreal! The house is well stocked and Michelle was so responsive and resolved our only issue in ~15min. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Thank you Michelle and Greg! We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Gorgeous house has everything you need — spectacular views, cathedral ceilings, comfortable beds, fully loaded kitchen with everything, lots of space for being together or having some privacy, lovely pool, awesome grill — great accommodations. Michelle was super responsive and thoughtful. Ordered groceries ahead of time and had them delivered — really a treat and a way to start the vacation in a relaxing way. Thanks to Karina! Can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful 8 day stay at the Dolphin House! The view was beautiful and we spent every evening watching the sunset from the pool or the lanai. Dinners for our group of 9 were perfect at the outdoor table. Kitchen was well appointed. Loved the separate bar with ice maker. All bedrooms were very nice and we appreciated that they all have en-suite bathrooms. The master suite upstairs was pure luxury with a beautiful view. Can’t beat listening to the waves at night. If we weren’t out snorkeling and sightseeing we were outside on the large lanai and in the pool. If the occasion presents itself we will be back. Mahalo!

The Dolphin House is so much more than can be conveyed in the VRBO description and pictures! The perfect setting for our extended family of ten to celebrate a milestone anniversary! Our week long stay was more sublime than we could have imagined! Our four grandchildren wished they could stay forever. Greg and Michelle are rapidly responsive to any questions you may have which makes your stay carefree.

All the 5 star reviews are accurate! The location is perfection, close to everything, and has the best sunset views of all the houses along Kona Bay Dr. Everyday we got up early to enjoy the peaceful view and watch boats go by (including massive cruise ships), swim in the heated pool, walk up and down the wall/walkway, and explore tide pools out on the lava rocks. The crashing waves are magnificent! Dolphin House has everything you could want or need: very comfortable beds plus two air mattresses, tons of beach and bath towels, beach chairs and mats, pool noodles, three beach umbrellas (a necessity) and even various sizes of water shoes which are needed out on the rocks and some beaches. The kitchen is well stocked and has endless cookware and dishes, although we couldn’t find plastic cups for the pool area. Electricity is extremely expensive in Hawaii so many homes don’t have AC but DH does. We were there in hot June so were grateful it was offered for the bedrooms and happy to pay extra for the comfort. Worth every cent! Beware, Hawaii has some unique creatures, some harmless and cute, some not so much, so be careful walking with bare feet and use bug repellent outside. The owners/managers are super responsive. Michelle answers immediately and takes any concern very seriously. They don’t live on the island but use numerous local services so any issue can be solved quickly. Our eight days went by way too fast and everyone in our four generation group was sad to leave!

Our family of 8 (11-74) had so much fun in Hawaii. Dolphin home has exceptional comfortable bedrooms, clean, pantry with amenities. Grocery store near by. The warm pool with fountain looks out on the ocean. Beautiful home with attention to details and owner very available. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.
