Kailua-Kona vacation rentals

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Justin‘s place. It is very spacious and we were a family of five. My mom, my husband and my two daughters. The kitchen was fully stacked, and the mattresses were super comfortable. The snorkeling gear was a little old so we ended up buying our own gear. The area was great. Very close to a swimming beach and a beach for snorkeling. Justin was very responsive. Always replied right away and very helpful. We hope to come back someday soon!

Perfect stay for 2 people, extremely clean, quiet location, accurate description, washer & dryer available, responsive host, walking distance to beach, snorkeling and beach items available to use. I would describe it as cozy and has a small patio with table, chairs and lounge seat to enjoy a small zen garden. Host met us during our stay and gave us the most delicious, farm fresh bunch of bananas, quite unlike the store brought variety. Overall a terrific value for the Kona area, highly recommended, I would book again.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and well-maintained home. The ocean view from the balcony was stunning, and the house was tidy and comfortable. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly, making the experience smooth from start to finish. It’s a great base for exploring the island—just keep in mind that having a car is essential. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Wow. What a spectacular place. A true eco-jungle-lodge-type experience. The location, the home, the host's communication and aloha spirit - everything was fantastic. Highly recommend 4WD / AWD car for the driveway, although we made it work with a sedan (kind of comical, actually). We are an adventurous family of four adults (2 grown kids) that likes experiences and lodging that would be the opposite of a cruise ship or resort. This place was perfect for us. We will be back!

Beautiful place to stay! Ruth is a wonderful host! She gives clear instructions on how to get to the place, how to get inside and lots of recommendations for the area. The place was clean, kitchen area was perfect for our short stay, bathroom was spacious, bed was very comfortable - we slept so good! It was a short drive to the shopping areas and the beaches and other places to visit. Book Ruth's place!!

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

Barry responded in a timely manner. He provided excellent suggestions to visit local areas and fun activities. He also provided a detail manual to guide you through all the details of the home and local area. We were fortunate to have met Barry in person, he was so welcoming! Now the house, it was gorgeous! Just as pictured with all the amenities but wow, even better in person!! Extremely clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated and those views! Magnificent sunsets right from the windows every night!!! The home is in a comfortable and quiet neighborhood, it felt very safe. It is also located perfectly to enjoy all kinds of beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping, craft and farm stands. Lots to do in the area!!! We highly recommend this home as a safe, clean, beautiful, spacious home away from home! Thank you Barry for all your suggestions in making our time there amazing!

Gorgeous property and cute place to stay! This is our second stay at Adam’s place…. Adam is very good with communication and went above and beyond with accommodating was with a special request that was not listed on the accommodations list. We always enjoy our stay at Adam’s place! Definitely our favorite place to stay! Thanks again Adam 🏝️

We had a beautiful stay at Jan’s place. We saw dolphins from the balcony and fell asleep listening to the waves. It’s so close to the ocean you can hear and smell and feel it all the time. We didn’t plan many activities ahead of time and we used the guidebook and beach gear every day of our trip. We let our hearts decide what we wanted to do and it worked out so well! The kitchen is well stocked with necessities if you want to cook meals, and there is a coffee maker with k-cups. The beds are super comfortable and there are plenty of towels. The location is walking distance to all the cute shops and restaurants you could want, and you can look for tide pools in the lava rock right next to the condo. We had a great experience and hope to return someday!

Lovely and spacious apartment with the most beautiful views. It was all very clean with all amenities including beach towels. Dani was very responsive and gave lots of great tips and advice. They also made sure we were settled and comfortable, which I thought was very kind.

Chad’s home was a wonderful. First of all he was great with communication. We were desperate because our original Airbnb reservation, the host never gave us the code to enter the home and never responded until a half hour before the original check in. Luckily with the Airbnb customer service help, we found Chad’s home. It was so relaxing waking up every morning to the water watching the surfers as we had our coffee. In the afternoon we took the best naps listening to the waves crash. The bed was so comfy, well stocked kitchen and lots of beach things like chairs, towels and coolers. We can’t thank Chad enough for the perfect Hawaiian stay!

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to others. The view is spectacular, the location is easily accessible, far enough away from the city center to be peaceful, yet close enough to reach shops and restaurants with ease. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. When we travel back to the island, we will certainly look to stay here again.

Enjoyed our 4 days at Kona. Condo is centrally located so you can explore whether in town or further afield. Did the Manta-Ray night snorkel with Sea Paradie. Highly recommend. Ate at several local restaurants all within walking distance. Super convenient. Michael is a great host- responsive to questions. Would go back again

A huge thank you to the team that maintains, upkeeps, and hosts this place. We were beyond amazed by the amount of amenities provided and how "homey" this place was. Everything you can think of, from dryer sheets and mugs to first aid kits and beach chairs have been provided. The outdoor lanai is spectacular, and we spent our mornings watching the sunrise and eating breakfast there. Furthermore, we felt very welcomed with drinks in the fridge for us and the design of the room. You get a great view of the ocean at the end of the condo complex, and many markets and mini shopping malls are in the area. 10/10 recommend - you get so much more than what you are paying for. If you're in Kona, please stay here!

Beautiful townhouse with plenty of extras. Provided soap, shampoo, conditioner, kitchen supplies, laundry supplies, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, towels, etc. Wonderful view from the balcony.

I enjoyed my stay at Andrea’s property. It’s quiet, clean and with the ocean view. The snorkeling tool is an extra perk

First time visiting the big island and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay ! Flew out here for my birthday and my oh my did I get lucky by finding this place. You can walk to the beach for a serene morning which is a plus (can also get fresh coconut juice and the best poke bowls by the beach). Or if you’re feeling more night like Ali drive is just less than a 10 min drive away ! Beyond the location the space itself is everything you could ask for and more ! On site laundry, air conditioning, and a coffee maker (my favorite part). A long with countless other essentials, definitely didn’t need to pack as much as I thought. Very thankful to Yoko for being such an amazing host, I will be returning ! (hopefully soon) 🖤

We had a great stay at this lovely condo in Mauna Lani. It is nicely decorated with beachy decor and the kitchen is well stocked. You can tell the owners put thought and care into their home and it shows. The included access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club is a fantastic perk and the available snorkel & beach gear in the garage were much appreciated! Kudos to cleaning crew and their cute bow “art” with the toilet paper and paper towels.

We loved the gorgeous sunset views from the spacious lanai. The condo was clean, well equipped and it’s a short walk to beautiful ABay beach, great restaurants and shops. It was also really nice to have shaded, covered parking. Mahalo to the thoughtful responsive host!

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It’s very comfortable, large, spacious for a group. We had kids in our group and they loved the outdoor pool area. While at home, we spent majority of our time around the pool area. Noelani provided us with beach chairs, towels, umbrella which was perfect to take to the beaches around us. Would highly recommend this beautiful property!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful unit in Kona! The space was spotless, tastefully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a lot of care had gone into making the unit feel like a home away from home. Allyson was a fantastic host—attentive, friendly, and incredibly prompt in answering any questions we had. Her communication made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. We’re already looking forward to our next trip and will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Big Island!

The unit exceeded our expectations in every regard. Quiet and peaceful development, with close proximity to the pool. A trailhead for a short walk to the beach was just down the road, which offered easy access to the beach if you didn’t want to drive. We will definitely be renting this unit again.

This was such a a wonderful place to stay. It was perfect for our small family with plenty of space to spread out. The spaces were amazing and comfortable and it was easy to keep cool. The location was great in terms of walking out to cafes and shops. It was nice and quiet and perhaps were it not for the full moon a great place to check out the night sky. We made great use of the beach toys and chairs. I honestly can't imagine a better place to stay.

This place was perfect for our 6 adult family plus a 5 month old. The kitchen is well stocked with more small appliances and gadgets than most places. The outdoors has many different areas to retreat to. But the upper deck, my my my, what a view!!! A great place to start your day with coffee and catch the sunset with your favorite beverage. This property also provided gear for the beach like towels, umbrellas, ice chests, and fun gear for kids… a wonderful surprise. Heidi was an amazing host who communicated promptly and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this place and would definitely go back.
