Book a hotel near Bay View Farm, Captain Cook

"The ranch was fascinating, peaceful, and refreshing. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff was splendid. We could not have asked for a better start to our first ever visit to Hawaii! "

"The breakfast was amazing"

"The house was exactly like it was pictured. The views from the property was exquisite. We had an excellent stay and would recommend it to anyone who is headed to the Big Island "

"The house is very spacious and was perfect for our family of five adults and three children. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Nice bbq on the lanai. The huge upstairs bedroom has a great view of the bay. It's got two trundle beds and two double beds, a couple of chairs and the TV. The other three bedrooms are downstairs. Note: one bathroom is connected to a bedroom and the other bathroom is in the hall downstairs. There is no bathroom upstairs. There is an outside shower, though. There is an A/C unit downstairs and upstairs. There are ceiling fans in every room.Anna, our host, was there to greet us and responded immediately to a couple of minor issues. She was very accommodating to our arrival and departure. The house is an easy walk to Manini beach park. It's a rocky beach, but has decent snorkeling. Other (sandy) beaches are nearby but require a car. Kayak rental is very close and we paddled over to the Captain Cook monument for some very nice snorkeling.This part of the island is a natural setting, prepare for insects and wildlife. The bird songs in the morning and the frog calls (not a croaks) all night were wonderful to us, but if you need absolute quiet you may want to use earplugs. The teeny mosquitoes may find you outside (no problem inside if you keep the door closed) but insect repellent deters them well. Our family loved watching the geckos all around the property. Real Hawaii atmosphere here. No crowds. Mahalo, Anna, for a wonderful stay. We'll return!"

"Cleanly, calm atmosphere, beautiful property with lots of light and windows looking out towards the ocean."

"An absolutely beautiful home -- clean and spacious with beautiful views. Very nice hosts with great knowledge of the area and its history. Breakfast was fabulous and plentiful. We would definitely stay again."
