Beachfront vacation rentals in Keauhou Bay

We loved staying here. It is close enough to walk into Kona but still very private and peaceful. If you don't want the walk back after dark, you can get a Lyft for about $10. The house is perfect. They have thought of everything and it is a home away from home. It was spotlessly clean. We wished we could have stayed for longer. Stuart was the perfect host and the lanai was a truly wonderful space to relax. We would absolutely love to come back and stay again.

Absolutely LOVED the unit! Will come back! AC was perfect & unit was very clean and big! We even got a late check out! Amazing place great host. Read this review if any one before mine may have discouraged you! BOOK IT

We loved our stay here. It was perfect for my fiancè and I, in terms of space. Loved being able to cook breakfast every day, enjoyed the comfy couch, and eating some meals on the balcony overlooking the water. Great location as well in terms of restaurants and beaches. We'd stay here again!

Aloha Gary! We stayed in your place next door a few years ago and had the time of our lives! When I spoke with you then, it turns out you knew my old Geology of the Hawaiian Islands professor, Dr. Carl Johnson. You mentioned our textbook was by your old professor--we still reference that text from time to time in our work as civil engineers on Hilo side. Jessica is just as full of aloha as we remember, and she even brought us an ono loaf of banana bread. We can't thank you enough for letting us bring our rescue kitty! She's only about 5 weeks old now, but our vet says she's in good health and even though she still drinks formula out of a baby bottle, she uses the litter box. She was a perfect angel and loved your place as much as we did! We hope to stay again and again in your place of heaven on the bay. Mahalo nui loa, Paul and Colleen "Zelda" Nash

I loved this place. Stayed here a week with my mom. The balcony is large and the view is amazing. Despite there being a pool from the apartment next door, noise was never an issue. It was a five minute drive to the downtown. The pool area was relaxing. Jason was very responsive and kind. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Such a beautiful property and the place was well decorated. We were concerned about there being no AC as we tend to run a little hot, however the winds from the ocean and the ceiling fans were more than enough for the end of april-beginning of may. We didn’t need the patio opened at night and we’re perfectly fine at night with just the ceiling fan but there are many other fans provided if you need. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. Would recommend you stay here the views were absolutely gorgeous.

The setting of this house is spectacular, right in Kealakekua Bay. You can see the Captain Cook monument in the distance (we kayaked there from the property). The host provides literally everything that you could possibly need to explore the bay: kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel equipment, etc., and you can do all of this right from their own (rocky) shoreline. The house was well appointed with everything that we needed for the stay. We were glad that we had the cottage so we were separated from the other rentals. It felt private. If you stay in the summer it does get HOT in the house during the day, even with the use of their provided fans, but it cools off enough at night to get a restful sleep. Also, there is a rooster nearby, which didn't bother us East Coast early risers. It's a long drive from the main route down to this property. We recommend stopping at the local honey farm that you pass on the drive down. You'll see their products sold all over the Island.

Beth was a terrific hostess! She always responded warmly to us. Her home and lanai are amazing! And the EASY walk to Manini Beach was the huge cherry on top. Thank you Beth for the use of all the beach toys and snorkel gear!!

The view is unbelievably beautiful! Located right on the ocean’s edge. Fell asleep nightly to the sounds of the ocean! Spent every morning enjoying coffee on the lanai taking in the beauty. The condo was beautifully maintained! Betsy was a great host. When we return to the Big Island we will absolutely stay here again! Loved it!!!

Centrally located and excellent views

We stayed a few days at a resort before staying at Terry’s, and we lived Terrys place so much more! We felt like we were experiencing the “real” Big Island and culture! We want to gone back!

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

Russ’s beautiful penthouse is amazing to say the least. You are literally right on the water and it certainly exceeded our expectations. The car was fantastic and very nice. It is a very clean ride and in top condition. The beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve all slept in. The AC was awesome. Honestly, everything was perfect. Russ laid out detailed and well organized instructions, we had no questions or problems accessing the unit. I’m a light sleeper and it was a very quiet stay, just the sounds of the waves. The pool and hot tub downstairs (elevator worked great and easy to access) were fun and relaxing to use. Nice tenants and guests around and easy access to many beaches and restaurants nearby. In addition, we experienced a last minute very unexpected tragedy~Russ went above and beyond and was compassionate and helpful which completely made the difference for us during this time. 🙏 We would rent this place again hands down. Thank you, Russ, Mahalo!

We had an absolutely fabulous time in Kona, and Zhe & Sijie’s place was a huge part of it. It made for an amazing home away from home for our two-week stay. The home was exactly as described and as it appeared in the photos - if anything, it was even more perfect in person. Plenty of living space, the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch at the house each day, and the three bedrooms and bathrooms were a perfect fit for my husband and me, our son and my dad. The elevated deck was perfect for reading in the sun or watching the sunset and then watching the stars come out. The pool is small, but a nice place to relax between activities or at the end of a busy day. The house is also in a very nice neighborhood, very secure and close to a grocery store and quite a few restaurants. Zhe and Sijie were fantastic hosts, super quick to reply to any questions we had, and proactively communicating info about check in and check out. 10/10, highly recommend!!

This stay was pure perfection. Waking up each morning just steps away from the ocean, with cruise ships gliding in against the sunrise, felt like living in a postcard. The home itself was pristine, stylish, and clearly curated for guests who appreciate comfort and beauty. Every touch from the well stocked kitchen to the cozy lanai for morning coffee- made the experience feel first-class. The host was outstanding: responsive, without being intrusive, making the entire trip seamless. If you're dreaming of an unforgettable Hawaiian getaway, this is the place. Five stars, I highly recommend! Mahalo 🤙

Loved this sleeping right where you can hear the ocean

We travel to swim competitions quite a bit and Pat and Susan’s rental is by far the best we have stayed in. It was exactly as described. Since we have an athlete we cook healthy meals and the kitchen was a dream. The storage closet was also amazing. Everything you would need for adventure. Golf clubs, snorkeling gear, kids sand buckets, coolers for the beach etc. The condo was also extremely clean. The location was great also. Away from the busy touristy downtown. Thank you for a great stay! Mahalo 🌺

The only sounds at night aside from the constant roar of the surf, is intermittent coqui calls. beautiful view and nice location, AC worked great and provided for great nights sleep. would definitely stay again.

We love our stay! Our family of 5 had more than enough space. The views and coffee in the morning watching surfers was priceless! Highly recommend this place as it’s close to everything!

Condo was bright and updated, well appointed with a great ocean view. It was a great location being a 10 min walk to Magic Sands beach and a close drive to town. The condo had beach umbrellas, chairs and towels. The checkin and checkout instructions were very clear and timely. Would definitely recommend.

This house was in a beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds. it was very well maintained and comfortable. The house has lots of basics in the pantry and condiments. We loved watching sunset from the lanai through the trees or walking 50 ft to the Pier for a Bayside view (with dolphins often making an appearance). Excellent snorkeling at nearby Manini Beach Park (some of us jumped in at the Pier, too) and by kayak at the Cook Monument across the Bay, or at 2-Step, a 5 minute drive down the road. The AC was good but not usually necessary with great ventilation and fans. The bugs are definitely hoping for snacks, so vigilance to keep a tidy house is crucial (but this is to be expected and wasn't a problem). Dawn was very responsive to a few small problems, and when we couldn't get the dryer to work she had a neighbor offer his so we could finish in time to check out (the dryer was a smart dryer and it out smarted us). We really appreciated how Dawn responded so quickly and helpfully!

We absolutely loved our stay at Gail’s condo. The co do matched the photos and the location was fabulous. We absolutely loved the saltwater pool and listening to people blow the conch shells. Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. We have made memories to last a lifetime.

Where do I start? I was a little hesitant when we pulled up from outside appearance. But WOW the inside was incredible & exactly as pictured…maybe even better! From the attention to details of beach towels to coffee beans, large coffee cups to the AMAZING shower with great water pressure, to plenty of fans to use, when not using the air conditioning to high end towels, to a nice, easy to use washer & dryer. The Magic, the restaurant attached to the building is awesome with amazing views of surfing & drinks along with great views of the sunset! There are also multiple great restaurants a couple of miles down the shoreline. Would book this condo again, anytime!

Great location! And very well maintained home. We had a great time with our family!
