Perched above the Pacific, Dolphin Manor offers front-row views of dolphins playing almost daily, whale watching during the winter season, and even shoreline fishing directly in front of the property.

The private pool, spa, and BBQ area invite you to unwind in comfort while enjoying the warm Kailua-Kona climate.
