Location, location, location. Manta Ray Manor is a vibrant, 3 bedroom/3 ensuite baths, ocean view 2500 square foot home set on the Kona coast in a private, gated oceanfront community. Manta Ray Manor provides a perfect retreat for your Hawaii adventure. Keiki Beach with its beautiful white sand, swimming lagoon, tide pools and ocean access is a short walk down the Manor's comfortable private street.
Manta Ray Manor is an architect-designed, fully functional beach retreat. It's bigger than a bungalow, allowing everyone their own space, but small enough to rekindle the family aloha. High ceilings, expansive windows and large living areas make the home airy, bright and relaxing. The living room, with its expansive seating and 60" TV (if desired), provides a comfortable indoor gathering place. Just off the living room is the tropical lanai, complete with enough outdoor furniture for the entire ohana to lounge and enjoy meals. Relax in the lanai's hot tub under the palm tree framed starry sky.
After a long day, retreat to your private bedroom and bath. Manta Ray Manor's master suite is roomy with its own living area, California king size bed, full bath and private lanai with ocean view and mountain. Fall asleep and wake up to the rhythm of the waves. A second, spacious bedroom with king size bed and ensuite bath resides upstairs. Enjoy peaceful views of island pines, palm trees and Mount Hualālai in the distance. The third bedroom is light and bright with a king bed, bathroom and main floor location. All bedrooms have California closets. Two air conditioning units cool the entire home as needed.
Manta Ray Manor’s custom kitchen is equipped with all the accessories your crew needs to entertain and enjoy great meals at home. This includes a gas range, large double-sided refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, Vitamix and plenty of dishes, pans and flatware. Just off the kitchen is the dining room which comfortably seats 6.
Kona town and famous Ali'i Drive, with their eclectic restaurants, breweries, shopping and lively outdoor scene, are 1 mile away, as is Kailua Pier and its outdoor activities. Fill your days with paddle-boarding, kayaking, whale watching, snorkeling, scuba diving (with giant oceanic manta rays!) volcano viewing... The possibilities go on and on. Or, just relax on your neighborhood beach with a cold drink, good book and peaceful aloha spirit. No matter what you choose to do, these amenities are easily accessible by foot, bike ride or short drive. This is the magic of Manta Ray Manor.
6 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas, 2 body boards, assorted beach toys, a beach wagon and cooler are conveniently stored inside the side gate. We periodically add items, so this list changes. The rinsing hose is located by the main lanai's front steps. A recreation area is adjacent to Kona Bay Estates and Manta Ray Manor. Feel free to use the tennis and pickleball courts, Aquatic center with community pool, Olympic size lap pool, kids’ playground, horseshoe pits, frisbee golf course, Maka’eo Walking Path and more (indoor facilities may be limited due to Covid-19).
If you've never been to the Big Island of Hawaii, it's the largest Hawaiian Island. With 80% of the state’s landmass, but only 20% of its people, the Big Island has wide open spaces, high mountains, spacious valleys and room to breathe. The island also has several volcanos. Kilauea, Mauna Loa, ...

We spent a week at Manta Ray Manor in November, 2023. It was 3 couples that were all friends for many years and decided to take a dream vacation together. First of all, George and Diane were terrific hosts. They gave us all the information we needed before we got to Kona and kept in touch while there. We had no issues at all with the home is very well appointed. The location is outstanding with just a very short walk to the beach and into town. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood that felt very safe. The house itself is gorgeous, clean and decorated beautifully. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone going to Kona. Aloha!

We stayed for a week at the Manta Ray Manor in Aug 2023 - 2 adults and 3 14 year old girls. First, the communications by George and Diane (the owners) was perfect. They gave all the information in a timely manner and made sure everything was perfect during our stay. The house is gorgeous and in a great location - an almost private beach 200 yds away, the athletic facilities for tennis, pickleball, swimming right next door and Kona a short walk away.
Lots of room and a lovely patio area. We would return in a minute. 5+stars - Walter Beach

We loved the house and it’s close proximity to a lot of the things we wanted to see and do during our time on the Big Island!

George and Diane were the perfect hosts at this beautiful location. The house is spacious and nicely appointed. There were 4 adults and one teenager in our group and we felt that we had plenty of space to gather and plenty of space if we wanted a little alone time. The kitchen is filled with everything you need. The house was spotless when we arrived. The location of the house is great. It is in a gated community that is on the ocean so it's very quiet. But a short drive or slightly longer walk will get you to restaurants, shaved ice, and everything you need. Grocery stores are nearby.
George communicated with us before and throughout our visit. He provided great suggestions to thing to do and places to eat. And he answered all of my questions. This could not have been a better stay!

This beautiful home was everything we hoped for and more. Quiet and secluded with a wonderful little sandy beach for our two year old, but close enough to town to walk in. I'm happy to recommend it to all.

Our home was of high quality, immaculate condition and clearly as advertised in the listing! The location so close to the village, so close to tide pool and beach access and six or so miles from the airport was ideal. We had five adults but this home would be terrific for a family with children considering the privacy, quiet location and ocean access. The booking, the payment process and access to the home was terrific! We hope that one day we will be able to return to this fantastic property!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. The house is spacious, beautiful, and in a fantastic location. We had a small family reunion with 6 adults and baby.
The house is very well equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards, some light workout gear, and even some snorkel gear and tennis rackets. There are lots of great personal touches, such as a thoughtful and informative guide to the house and the area the hosts created themselves. The hosts were were wonderful throughout and communication and check-in were all easy and streamlined.
Would absolutely recommend.

This property is a hidden gem on the Big Island. The property was just incredible. My family and I (2 adults, 1 teen, and 2 kids) spent 1 week at Manta Ray and we were so sad to leave. The gated community is extremely peaceful and quiet. The location is ideal and a quick drive to restaurants, shops, etc. We especially loved Keiki beach which is a short 3 mins walk from the property. It's the perfect beach for swimming and snorkeling and makes the location of the property ideal. We didn't need to drive to a beach to swim everyday. We watched the sunset each evening from the beach which was one of our favorite activities.
The house itself was even better than we expected. The rooms are all very spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable and we loved having a bathroom in each bedroom. There is even a small "office" space to work from (which hopefully you won't need to use). The living room, kitchen and dining room were perfect for hanging out and relaxing. Our kids loved the huge sofa and it was big enough for all 5 of us to lounge and watch TV. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which was fully stocked with cookware and utensils. We also loved the hot tub and the outdoor deck.
Thank you George and Diane for opening your home. We created the most wonderful memories on the Big Island and we can't wait to come back. We have told all of our friends and family about your home. Mahalo.
