The amazing ocean view made up for the dusty outdoor utensils.

My stay at Kona Bayview Inn was simply delightful. The breathtaking views of Kealakekua Bay, combined with the delicious homemade breakfasts featuring fresh local fruits and quiches, truly made each morning special. The serene atmosphere and friendly hosts, Sharon and Thomas, added a personal touch that made me feel at home.

No air conditioning in the room.

Staying at Kona Bayview Inn felt like being in paradise. Thomas and Sharon were amazing hosts, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Every morning brought a delicious breakfast filled with fresh local fruits and homemade treats, a highlight that fueled our daily adventures. The garden and ocean views were stunning, especially during sunset. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely decor. However, the lack of air conditioning made for warmer afternoons, though the evenings cooled down nicely. If you plan to explore, having a car is a must, as the location is a bit secluded from tourist spots but truly serene. The outdoor dining utensils could use a little more attention. they had some dust. Overall, this B&B offers a charming retreat with personalized touches. Though the indoor comfort could improve, the breathtaking views and excellent breakfast make it worthwhile.

10/10

Woke up to the sweetest breakfast with fresh local fruit every mornin’ and those views? Just jaw-droppin’. We felt like we was in our own little slice of heaven with the birds chirpin’ and the sunsets paintin’ the sky. Just fixin’ to come back soon!

spectacular ocean views, lush garden ambiance, thoughtful Hawaiian decor

Rooms lacking air conditioning can make daytime uncomfortable!!! Dust on outdoor dining utensils needs addressing!!! Open verandah cleanliness should be improved to enhance guest experience!!!

I stayed in the Double Room with Private Bathroom for 5 nights. The bed was super comfy, and the decor had a nice Hawaiian touch. Enjoying coffee on the lanai each morning while soaking in the breathtaking views was a highlight. Only downside was the lack of air conditioning, which made afternoons a bit warm. But overall, it was a cozy spot to relax after exploring Captain Cook.

We had an amazing stay with delicious breakfasts featuring fresh local fruit and homemade goodies every morning! The sun loungers and garden area offered perfect spots for relaxation after our adventures. One small downside was that the wifi could be a bit spotty at times, but that didn't ruin our great experience. Definitely take some time to enjoy the sunsets! 🌅

Our group had a fantastic stay! The hosts were so helpful and full of local tips. We snorkeled nearby and loved the beautiful views. Breakfast was hearty, featuring fresh local produce. The sunsets on the Lanai were unforgettable! Don't miss the Kona Joe Coffee Farm and snorkelling spots in the area.

One minor concern was that the outdoor seating area could use a bit more attention for cleanliness.

Just a perfect match for spending nights in Captain Cook with real value for money. Loved having beach towels and snorkeling gear provided, which made our beach day so much easier. Be sure to check out the nearby beaches for great snorkeling spots.

Couple retreat, peaceful paradise

Staying here was like being a part of a family. Each breakfast felt special, with fresh local fruit piled high, and I remember one morning enjoying warm quiches on the lanai while watching the mango trees sway in the breeze. The hosts, Sharon and Thomas, were so cute.

It was certainly on the pricey side, but honestly, it was worth every penny.
