Find Places to Stay in Holualoa on Airbnb

This is simply the best secret on the island. It’s a magical, romantic fusion of indoor and outdoor space where jungle sounds and ocean waves give you space to contemplate life over champagne under the bamboo covered porch. It has bonus kitties, and little surprises everywhere. You’re lucky if you can find an open week here. They seriously don’t charge enough.

Charming cottage that is in a great location with just a short walk to Manini beach! My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Ron and Karen are very careful to respect your privacy, but are around if you have questions or want a brief chat. They have many very good recommendations for things to do on the island that helped to make our stay special. There are numerous details in this cottage that have history and meaning. Ask Ron about some of the components, they come with a good story!

The cottage is so cute and charming to stay in. Karen and her husband were amazing hosts. As we got in, Karen showed us around to the beach and gave us insights of the area. Snorkeling at the beach was amazing. Lots of bright-colored fish by the reef. We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the decor of the cottage.

Great location, great cottage, great hosts. A real gem. Ideal for snorkelling, kayaking, enjoying the sea shore and beautiful sunsets. Encounter with dolphins almost guaranteed.

The Bali Cottage is a rustic, comfy space and hosts Karen and Ron are exceptional. They will bend over backwards to make sure guests are comfortable; the location is awesome, shady, and a 5 minute walk to Manini Beach. Everything you need is available in the cottage: coolers, beach towels, boogie boards, and toiletries just in case you forget yours! Go to sleep with the gentle sound of the surf... and wake up with the sun shining in your outdoor shower!

Stay here! It’s definitely more of a “glamping” vibe but so amazing! We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean and wildlife. Very friendly hosts! The snorkel gear was awesome to have when we hiked to Captain Cook!

One of the most unique and memorable places I’ve ever stayed. Karen and Ron were very friendly hosts, who made sure we felt right at home.

There are not enough words to say how wonderful the Bali Cottage and Karen are. The space is AMAZING, the only negative thing I can think of is now all other Airbnb’s or even hotels or even my own home will all fall short of the magic that is the Bali Cottage. Karen is super communicative and welcoming and even walked me down to the beach when I got there, which btw is also amazing and charming. Literally could write a book on how much I loved my stay. Thank you again Karen for sharing your space with the world!

You cannot find a better stay with incredible host and incredible views! This part of our 2 week trip was the best! We had outstanding sunset views every night to where anywhere else you would pay heavy. This condo is perfectly described, it's cute and comfortable like home away from home with access to everything Kona. The beach is your backyard! Alice and Jerry could not be nicer and were such gracious host. During some crazy times of travel and many questions I had they were quick to always respond and helped me time after time to make sure my family and I were taken care of weren't without a place to stay while we waited for ever changing flight updates. Alice was ready to even bring any extra supplies we needed before we left. The condo was exactly like mentioned and matched the photos. We loved waking up and seeing dolphins and the amazing fish. Perfectly spaced for myself husband and 17year old daughter. We had everything in the condo from essentials to beach fun items so we were covered fully. I can't wait to start planning a return Hawaii trip and I can 100% say we will be reaching out to Alice and Jerry again for a second stay! No other rental place or owner will show you such care and thoughtfulness and take care of your condo needs then from Alice and Jerry's place.

It would be easier to say what I didn’t love about this place, which is nothing! It was truly amazing. The photos do not do the view justice. The beach is truly right downstairs with an amazing restaurant in the condo building right on the beach! The condo had everything we needed for a great stay. Lots of dishes and cookware and even beach supplies! The beach chairs were an amazing touch. Jerry and Alice were very responsive and always a joy to speak with. Their guest book had fantastic recommendations, we tried several including Magic Sands Beach Grill (numerous times if I’m being honest) and Jackie Reys (I think that is the name). Both were amazing.

The location was amazing. We woke to the sound of the waves every morning and watched the stars every night.

Such a wonderful guest experience at Jerry and Alice's Kona Magic Sands place...we did not want our stay to end! Everything you need for a wonderful vacation is included - from a comfortable bed, all kitchen utensils and appliances, very nice linens and towels and anything you would need for a day at the beach. It is hard to describe the views and sounds of the ocean...there were days we just opened the lanai and spent most of the day enjoying the scenery (and serenity). And after a day of touring, it was so nice to come back and just enjoy the ocean, pool and making dinner in their well-equipped kitchen. We would actually look forward to returning each afternoon/evening to enjoy their place and the atmosphere. Jerry and Alice are such sincere and caring hosts... they truly want guests to enjoy their experience. There were tropical fresh flowers waiting for us as well as bananas from their own tree! We were sad when our stay ended and hope to be guests again! A wonderful, fabulous experience! Mahalo Jerry and Alice for sharing your paradise with us!

Absolutely amazing views and place. We saw whales, dolphins, fish, and turtles all from our condo! Jerry and Alice were some of the nicest people Ive ever met, very accomodating and definitely went above and beyond. We are definitely hoping to come back and stay here again.

It was very relaxing to hear the constant splashing of the waves, which sent us to sleep immediately! The Magic Sands restaurant was excellent, convenient and fun. Great to have an allocated parking space.

Jerry & Alice are the kind of hosts that you remember for years, their kindness and warm communication, they feel like friends rather than hosts. We will never forget the roar of the waves, the breath taking sunsets and the whales and dolphins daily transiting out front. 🐳🌊 🌅

We had a wonderful stay at Jerry and Alice's condo. The views were magnificent - a perfect place to take in an ocean sunset. Was nice to be able to lie in bed and hear the sound of the waves. The location was great too, right next to a nice beach and an easy drive to any other Kona destination. Jerry and Alice were great hosts and provided all the info we needed for our trip along with plenty of suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We would love to stay at their place again.

The apartment is very well equipped. It has everything for short and long term stays. The location is perfect, very close to the shore. Edward has been very available and responsive from the beginning.

This unit has everything. Clean and well looked after. It’s in the heart of downtown Kona. Easy to walk the street for local shopping and restaurants. Ed went out of his way to get us special beach chairs that we asked for. We would come back to this unit.

The access was simple, Edward always responded to texts and questions fast, and the area is right by the beach and a bunch of shops! Such a cool area with lots to do, right on the ocean. Will definitely be coming back!

This unit is great...an ideal price in an ideal location. It was convenient to get to places, a wonderful unit layout, and an important aspect of our two weeks on the Big Island.

Edward was such a great host for us! We only stayed with him one night. Our flight got in late, but he was still responsive when we messaged him. He was even willing to work with us on our check out time so we could enjoy our day in Kona without having to lug our bags around with us. The place was stylishly decorated, comfortable, impeccably clean and easy to access. Thank you Edward for a wonderful stay!

This clean unit is in a quiet location that it very close to the waterfront as well as many shops and stores. It was comfortably furnished inside as well as on the lanai. Edward has stocked his place with many thoughtful items and was quick to respond to our questions. The underground garage parking was very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great place and great host. After I realized that I had booked the wrong night he set me up with another of his properties at a discounted rate.

This place has a great location right next to great restaurants and shopping yet quiet.

Chandy's place is excellent: clean and well equipped with all necessities for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend it to any future visit in the Kona area, Charles and Cecylia , Airbnb -Apple haven Farm Near Gettysburg

We had a great stay at Chandy's place! She was very kind and hospitable and it's a great location for the airport!

Great!

Chandy’s place is a fantastic value. Great family home!

Very cozy accommodation with a particularly comfortable bed. We didn't get to know the host but that was okay. the property is just 5 minutes from the airport.

A cozy and friendly environment with ammenaties as advertised. Chandy was good about coordinating and she also had a working fan set up for us before arrival. We had a great time visiting with her and "grizzly" the next morning and enjoying breakfast together. Highly recommend.

Chandy is such a good host. Everything was perfect clean, it's close to the airport, you'll get some tips where to go. Highly recommend.

Chandy’s place was great! We really enjoyed visiting with her. She provided great tips for enjoying the Big Island! Our stay at her home was lovely and relaxing!

The apartment is perfect! It is very well equipped, clean and offers a very nice view to watch sunsets. We enjoyed the stay very much and can just recommend it!

A quiet space a little away from Holualoa Town, a large site with lots of fruit trees and trees. There is a two-story house in that space. The second floor is the host house and the first floor is the guest house. There are many similar homes around the property, in a quiet, relaxed and lovely area away from the hustle and bustle. Located at the foot of Mount Faralai and away from the sea, it is not too hot and cool. It's a bit cool in the morning and evening, so it's a good idea to have long sleeves. Rooms are clean and well cleaned. Cooking utensils are available, and there are rice cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, electric pots, hot plates, toasters, coffee makers, etc., so you can cook yourself without any problems. Since there is also a coffee mill, you can grind the purchased Kona coffee beans and drink it immediately. There is also a cartridge type water purifier, so there is no need to buy water. In addition, there are a lot of beach gear, and beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler boxes, snorkels, cool bottles, etc. were handy. The view from Lanai is a lot of trees underneath, the town of Kailua-Kona and the vast sea far away. Every day I spent watching beautiful sunsets. The lanai is large, so you can eat at the table or relax on the sofa. Rent-a-car is essential, but it is about 15 to 20 minutes drive to Kailua Kona, Keauhou shopping center and beach. Every day I went to KTA, Safeway, Target, Walmart and Kahaluu Beach. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the host lived on the second floor, so there was no need to receive or hand over the keys, just putting the keys on the table. The host woman is very kind and will answer me politely if I have anything, and I'm on the second floor so I can go to listen immediately. It keeps your private well, so you will rarely meet and help you only when you need it. I think it is the best location to spend your time on the Big Island slowly and comfortably, but I think it is a good distance for those who are actively moving to Hilo, Volcano, Mauna Kea, North Kona and many beaches, I went many times during my stay. Especially in the middle of the Kona coffee cultivation area, you can easily go around the coffee plantation everywhere. I stayed for about 3 weeks, but anyway, I found the location, environment, room and host to be satisfactory.

Karoline and her dog Hano are lovely hosts and her place was just perfect for our stay on the big island! Karoline has a beautiful house and guest apartment. Everything was sparkling clean and decorated in a cozy hawaiian style. We cooked a lot and were genuinely surprised by how good the kitchen devices (mixer, pans etc.) are! The whole apartment is very well thought through and Karoline goes above and beyond to ensure that her guests enjoy their stay. She even provided us with fresh fruits from her own garden! She also makes her own soapes and pays special attention to the environment and holding a sustainable houshold. Hano is the cutest, a very friendly, goofy and even a little shy doggo that one cannot help but love. We also loved the view from the apartment. One can see the ocean and watch the most amazing sunsets whilest sipping on a cold Big Wave or Longboard. So, if you get the chance stay here and enjoy this beautiful island from the very best airbnb.

It was wonderful place She had everything what we need . We wish we want back to there for month to stay . Thank you

Spectacularly natural, lush surroundings.. beautiful garden, flowers fruit and coffee. A delightful place to stay where everything is thoughtfully provided for you.

Karoline’s place was warm and cozy as described. It has a neat view of the ocean, and the property itself is surrounded by lush trees. The house was stocked with amazing coffee beans, which my husband really enjoyed having. Karoline’s dog, Hano, was a cool hang out in the mornings. The place is conveniently located to Kona and other beaches (about 15-20mins drive). Highly recommend it.

Karolines house is very charming and well kept in every detail, and with a beautiful view over the garden and to the ocean. Peaceful area and close to a nice little village.

If you are going to the big island, want a spectacular view, comfortable stay, and a wonderful host than we recommend this cozy magnificent spot overlooking Kona. We will never forget our trip and appreciated every second of our time here. Thank you Karoline 🌺

Had a great time at Marc and Penny's place. They even invited me for a drink and it was nice to share stories!

Marc's place was awesome! Simple, clean, decorated with style. Within walking distance to restaurants and bar. Will definitely stay here again next time.

The Kona Oasis is amazing! Cute space with 1 bed and a bathroom, outdoor kitchen and dining space surrounded by adorable geckos. You will spend the whole trip outside, or inside with your windows open. Walking distance from everything in Kailua Kona - including beaches, restaurants, shopping. Marc is a awesome, hospitable, and super nice. He has tons of local knowledge and made great recommendations.

Marc’s place has great values for it’s price. The room is clean and comfortable with all necessities equipped. What satisfies me most is its private bathroom. It’s super convenient you don’t share bathroom with others. Moreover, you can walk to the supermarket and restaurant. Anyway, I recommend Marc’s place if you’re looking for the budget accommodation in Kona.

A great clean spot with full bathroom and an outdoor kitchen nook within easy walking distance to town and the water. Super friendly hosts will make you feel very welcome and yet give you total privacy

Super chill place. Private entrance

This place was clean and stylish. The owners were on site when we arrived and quickly answered any questions that we had. Close to town and a good place for a quick stay.

Marc‘s room is a great place to stay! It‘s near the beach, restaurants and shopping possibilities. It‘s clean and you have plenty of space in the room and bathroom.

Gorgeous house with an ocean view which I’ll recommend to anyone who asks where to stay at the big island.

The beauty of the room and the entire estate is just like other evaluations. It is very beautiful and unimaginable. I hope that I can have such a home in the urban jungle. I think the owner is a very easy-going lady who is very considerate, but unfortunately my English is so bad that I ca n’t talk too much with her. I have to mention her baking skills here, and I will definitely not lose the other chef masters. Every morning, I eat the owner's cakes, cookies, and coffee, and with the excellent manor landscape, it really makes people reluctant to leave! !! !! Unfortunately, we were too focused on other attractions in those days. Quietly lying on the couch in the manor, listening to the songbirds and watching the sunset, maybe it will make people who come on vacation more relaxed. By the way, I would like to especially thank the roosters in the manor, and thank them for waking me up on time one hour or two hours before the alarm clock, and never let me oversleep. I think if there is grilled chicken, then there will be more than 5 stars Haha

I booked a room w/ a shared bath at Rhonda's place, and it was the perfect place to relax and get good sleep in the first days of my vacation. Besides the many amenities like a pool and beach gear, I appreciated the level of cleanliness and fresh towels. Rhonda also offered a guidebook library for guests, as well as daily treats. It was very easy to find, and a very comfortable place to stay on the Big Island.

Great location in Captain Cook. The pool was perfectly warm so I was able to swim even in the rain. There are a lot of upfront rules which was intimidating but they are really easy to follow if you are courteous and considerate. Would stay again!

Rhonda is the best there is for a bnb. Warm, informative, comfortable. unlike some Airbnb listings, her space is NOT oversold. You relax the moment you get there. This is my second time staying with her a year apart and it is just as good. My only regret is not staying longer!

Rhonda's place is a little paradise in paradise (Captain Cook's bay is amazing). We especially appreciated Rhonda's hospitality, the comfort of her house, the view and the pool! We would definitively love to come back if we ever go back to Big Island again.

Great place. Rhonda is a great hostess. Like she mentions it’s close to the main road so you will hear cars and she’s in the country so there will be roosters.

Location is great for coffee tastings...there are tons of awesome (many are free) coffee tours within a couple miles of her home. Her home has a beautiful ocean view seen by the huge window in the living room!

Simple condo that is set up for two people to be able to sleep with privacy, as one bed is in bedroom and the other in the living room. A little scare on furniture, but there is enough to be comfortable. Walking distance to swimming and nice stroll in town.

This place was centrally located, clean, and had everything I needed including a full kitchen, air conditioning, and lots of space. I really felt like I lived there. Thanks for a super comfortable stay.

Great little condo for a stay in Kona! Has all of the essentials, including a washer and dryer, and it has a nice balcony as well. Very walkable to the shore and other areas around town.

Great place to stay. Walking distance to the main strip of Kona. Great space, much bigger than expected. Fridge was stocked with all kinds of condiments and there was a SUP board and a skim board.

Great host, super responsive and gave us local spots to explore that we would never have found on our own.

Awesome little condo in the heart of Kona perfect for small family's or couples traveling together

Nice apartment in a great location! We were able to walk to a places for food, the touristy downtown area, and a couple beaches! The apartment itself was very versatile, we actually ended up staying on the Murphy bed in the living room because we loved the openness and the patio, although the bedroom was also lovely!

Great place if you are on the go. Has everything that you need.

I had a great experience at Laura's place. Lovely lanai overlooking the first Christian church in the Hawaii Islands that celebrated its 200th anniversary while I was staying there. Would be even more comfortable to have a dining table to eat at and work, especially during the lockdown, but I was able to get creative. The unit was stocked with all of the essentials. Beautiful location a short walk away from the beach.

Highly recommended, super easy and quick to communicate.

Laura's place is great, the location was amazing and for the rate she is offering it was great value for money. The viewings were infrequent and not a problem. The space is small but with the balcony and pool area there is plenty of outdoor option and it is such a short walk to the main street and beach. The place is not overly stocked with household things, but there is enough to make it work, especially if you are spending a lot of time eating out. Would recommend this place to anyone. Laura was also good to communicate with, checking in was easy.

Stay at this condo!!! Perfect location and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Laura was always responsive despite the time difference, and she gave us a long list of places to check out. Would absolutely stay here again in the future.

We loved staying here. Great location, Laura gave us an awesome guide, we had a blast and would love to come back!

Stay here. It’s close to everything, comfortable, and Laura is a great host

A very nice clean small place to stay. Pay attention to description. Not a place to prepare meals, not eat snacks. But very close to many good restaurants. A little street traffic noise with lanai door open. Host very responsive and helpful.

Awesome location (short walk to down town Kailua-Kona). The accomodation is lovely and the pool looked great although I only stopped in once as I preferred to hit the beach. Very comfy bed and very clean! Lovely balcony (lanai) to enjoy morning coffee.

Very cute, clean and well stocked with amazing amenities.

I was satisfied.

Soraya’s place is very nice and clean. She was very helpful and quick in response. We loved the snorkeling gear, beach chairs and tent. My husband was able to snorkel every day at different spots.

Cute studio in the heart of Kona! Easy walking distance to all the restaurants and shops on Ali’i dr! Fantastic host anything we asked for was supplied! Great sunsets across the street at the Royal Kona!

Wonderful location. I had told Soraya that we were coming to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. She has the sweetest welcoming note for us. Definitely recommend this listing.

Wonderful spot near downtown Kona. Very tastefully decorated, and it had everything we needed. Especially appreciated the coffee setup and snorkeling gear!

We really enjoyed our stay at Marisa’s. The place was just as it was described in the overview. What we thought was great were: 1. The location to beaches and great snorkeling. 2. The location to restaurants and shops is a short distance 3. The BED was so comfortable. We slept so well here and had plenty of room to spread out on the king sized bed. 4. There is air conditioning if needed. 5. Easy and private access into the room. We were so thankful to have such a great place to stay for the week and would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Marisa's place! It was a perfect cozy amount of space for two. Large bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. The bathroom double sink made it easy for us to use at the same time without getting in each other's way. More than enough bath and beach towels provided. No kitchenette (which we didn't need), so you could tell Marisa put thought into including a nice coffeemaker with pods plus dinnerware and drinkware for two. Location is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood with suburban vibes and a quick drive to restaurants, Costco, and the Kona airport. We were also able to explore northwest and south of the island from the apartment. Private entrance, so we could come and go without worry about disturbing anyone and we enjoyed being able to rest after a day of hiking before heading back out for dinner. Great communication with Marisa when we had questions. Thank you for a great stay, Lana! Would book again if we ever return to Big Island in the future.

Marisa's place is just as advertised. It is perfect for a couple. I particularly enjoyed the thoughtful touches such as a clothes hanger right outside to hang wet towels and swimsuits. There is also a chair and table outside in the garden where I had dinner most evenings; very peaceful and relaxing. The studio is also close to everything (shops, restaurants and attractions on Ali'i Drive) however I recommend getting a rental for convenience. We had Netflix even though we didn't stay inside the apartment during the days because it was too beautiful not to go outside. I felt very secure during my stay with Marisa responding almost immediately to my enquiries. She was very helpful and kind. She even recommended the luau at the Royal Kona resort and I could not have been happier. The neighbourhood is super quiet and that made resting easy.

Marisa’s place is beautiful! The bed is incredibly comfortable. Great accommodations! I highly encourage you to stay here!

We enjoyed our stay here. Accommodations were clean. Bed was super comfy. The space was very private (both inside and the outside patio area). Neighborhood was generally quiet except for some barking dogs nearby.

Very clean, great space for what we were wanting and in a great location. Marisa was very accommodating and responded to all our enquiries quickly. We loved our stay here and would recommend it!

Very conviniently located , comfortable place. Marissa is a great host and replied instantly to all my questions.

The house is as is the photos, cozy, quite clean, near the airport and the city of Kailua. Very cozy, with what is necessary in the kitchen to make breakfast. The clean and large bathroom. It is accessed by the side of the house. We had no contact with Marisa, only the first day we agreed a moment, very nice and friendly. Good quality site price

Thanks Shelly and Tom. I had a great time on the big island when I stayed at your place.

We had a wonderful stay at Tom and Shelly’s. The location was perfect with lots of parking space available. Room was spacious! Tom offered us lots of suggestions on where to visit and what to eat and even offered us the fruit growing in their backyard. They have the cutest cat named Lovebug who likes napping in the room. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Nice, clean and quiet bedroom. My husband and myself needed to spend our first night in Big Island close to Kona airport before hitting the road early in the morning to go to Volcano. Very convenient. We did not have the chance to meet Shelly but Tom gave us a warm welcome when we met in the morning! Thank you for the nice stay :)

We found the place to be clean and very homey. Good conversations with Tom and such a view!

The host was very enthusiastic and would entertain the guests to eat his own fruits so that we seemed to be back at our own home

Beautiful home, beautiful hosts, in a beautiful place :) We had an amazing time here, thanks for the warm welcome and great recommendations!

Lanai was very comfortable! I woke up in the voice of a bird and was healed by the many colorful birds that came to the garden. Tom also kindly spoke!

Tom and Shelly were excellent hosts! We immediately felt right at home, and like part of the family. This is one of the first things they will tell you - "You're part of our family while you're here," and they mean it! They also had wonderful recommendations of things to do on the island. Their hospitality is really amazing. The view from their home is gorgeous and I loved waking up and seeing all of the pretty birds in the morning! We definitely plan on coming back!

Stayed overnight. Bedroom was big enough for me and my guest as well as the bathroom. Breakfast was delicious as well. Very calm and chill hosts. Would recommend!

Megan Love House is a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. It is very near kona downtown and close to all the lovely restaurants and bars of the area. But you can’t hear the noise of the streets in the House. The whole place made us feel at ease. Megan and Jacob was very nice, easy to talk to and very friendly when they welcomed us. We appreciated everything from all the wonderful and healthy breakfasts to let us stayed an extra day. We enjoyed our stay at your place. Would definitely come back and stay with you guys again. Tell little Luca we love and will miss him. Mahalo, Evie

I travel nearly constantly, and I recently lived on Hawaii Island for some years. I knew Megan from around town and decided to book the Megan Love house for a work trip. I LOVED this experience! The home is so cozy, with such special touches throughout to put you in the best mindset for enjoying such a special place in the world. Megan ans Jake are generous, kind, and great hosts. As I get older, don’t stay in hosted b&b’s, or share restrooms like I used to, but I did here and had zero discomfort. I loved spending time on the lanai, hooping before bed each night in the lawn, riding the house bikes to town, and taking a yoga class on the beach taught by Megan. I loved being walking distance from Magic’s Beach Grill, Da Poke Shack, and so many great beach spots. Jakes beautiful and healthy breakfasts always impress. I loved all the people who came through during my long stay. I super enjoyed, and plan to retreat here again! Thanks Megan and Jake! Xoxo

Staying at Megan's was awesome. Very clean, cozy, with amazing breakfast. Special energy and in an amazing location.

Megan, what a wonderful stay. Your place has such a welcoming vibe, thanks for the special touches and all the Aloha, Ed+Chantel

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly host, stylish place. This place is a great spot to stay

Excellent. Space with thoughtful hosts. Megan made my wife and I a delicious breakfast in the morning too!

fun people to meet. jake prepared a fantastic breakfast meal every single day!!!!

Wonderful place to stay. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Great location. Comfortable place to stay. I could even do some cooking to save money. It's better value than most places around.

Location can't be beat! Parking is the only downfall. All you need or want is a pleasant walk. Many restaurants, shops, bars etc.

Great central location, closer to the beach and the lively part of Kona than I expected. It’s right on your doorstep. There is a pool and BBQs you can use in the building too, which is nice. FYI - there is no oven in the kitchen and the bathroom is small and shares the sink with the kitchen. Still very happy with the place, though. Great value, great location, very clean.

Very well located unit to base yourself for Kona adventures!

The location is superb. The place is clean and has the basic amenities. Ideal for people who are out the whole day and need a place to sleep in. It would be nice to have a frying pan or a medium pot to use. We wanted to buy fresh seafood and cook it ourselves.

If you are a beginner on the Big Island, I highly recommend this. Meals, sightseeing spots and beaches are also available within walking distance of the surrounding area. The host responded smoothly.

The studio had an incredible location behind the Ali’i Drive, with a really confortable bed and space. Everything was ok.

Mark was a wonderful host and our room was even better than expected! The view was great and the walk to downtown was only 20-30min. I really enjoyed my stay here.

This place was absolutely amazing! Everything was sparkling clean with nice details like a small coffee station and a water filter you can use in the kitchen. Mark is a funny and nice person, he really helped us by giving us a ride to the bus. Thank you so much! :)

Great spot for a base of operations. Flexible check in time is a fantastic plus.

Mark was so great and helpful! A solid human and so much Aloha ✨❤️

Mark was super nice and even offered us a ride from the airport since he was there already! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was really nice with a rain shower! Kona is within walking distance, but there really aren’t any sidewalks. Overall, it was a great value.

Really nice place to stay, great host.

Mark was nice and quite accommodating. We enjoyed our short stay. Everything was very clean. We would recommend this place.

Mark is very attentive and a friendly host. His place is very clean and is a great location. A beautiful ocean view from his patio. One can sit, relax and take in the beautiful view. Overall, a great value. Thanks Mark!

Wonderful host! Great space!

Super nice Airbnb. Well located in the mountains near the airport. Confy bed, nice terrasse and original outside shower. Views were extraordinary. Amanda and her husband were super nice and welcoming. Would recommend this place!!!

This is such a cozy little place! Being out of town, this is a nice quiet retreat away from the crowds. The space itself was well-equipped with everything we needed and very nice! The outdoor shower was amazing and offered an awesome view down the hillside and out to the ocean. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the island, but wanting a little more seclusion and privacy.

Such a lovely place! Great view. Awesome outdoor shower. Comfy bed. Would definitely stay here again 😊

So many lovely touches that enhance an already amazing space. The outdoor bamboo shower was heavenly...nice and hot too. Comfortable bed and linens. We hope to stay again soon!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The view was wonderful and the ohana was very clean. Loved the outdoor shower as well. The only con is that it was at least a 20 minute drive for almost everything we did.

Incredible view, incredible bed, incredible retreat. Cannot say enough nice things about this.

I loved staying at the Lookout, what a great getaway! The pictures don't do the surrounding mountain jungle justice. Nice touches both inside and out (the outdoor shower was a fantastic way to wake up). The driveway is very steep and street parking means that if you have mobility issues, this won't be the place for you, but it does mean a gorgeous view of Kona and the ocean from the kitchenette windows. Bonus: the higher elevation means that the mornings are cooler than by the beach, but with the same breeze. Thanks for the great stay!

LeeAnne was a gracious host and very easy to communicate, she even checked in to see if we had everything we needed. Great location, close to town but far enough out that it is peaceful and quiet.

Located in the midst of a jungle, LeeAnne’s place is a special one. Comfortably equipped and furnished, our stay in this peaceful environment was a great one. She was a great host who checked on us and made sure we were taken care of. As indicated in her listing, at night, there is the slight issue of noise from the surrounding wildlife, but nothing that is insurmountable through the closing of windows and barely the need for earplugs.

Absolutely great stay, the location is beyond beautiful and the accommodation had everything we needed. LeeAnne responded very fast to any questions we had. We recommend this listing to anyone wanting a great spot near the best beaches of the Big Island!

I loved staying here! It’s clean, well supplied, and a great location. I could easily get to the harbor for my early morning boat trips and the health food store where I picked up lunch daily. LeeAnne stopped by to say hello. She made me feel extremely welcomed. I would stay here again!

This is a nice apartment style stay that is private and clean. It’s a great location and close to town (Kailua-Kona) and the coffee farms. It is on a beautiful property. LeeAnne was extremely kind and accommodating. We had a great stay.

This was a perfect spot for us to come back to after the day’s adventures. LeeAnne’s place is quiet and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. Wish it could have been longer. Mahalo, LeeAnne!

We stayed at this beautiful spot for 11 nights while we explored the island and were in awe every time we pulled in to park! LeeAnne was very friendly, accommodating and easy to communicate with. The place had all the amenities we needed to assist in preparation for our daily adventures and provided a welcomed respite when we arrived back after a long day of exploring. The location of the rental felt very private and was exactly as described. If you read LeeAnne’s through description, there will be zero surprises- we loved it there more than we anticipated. In summation, it’s a perfect little spot, nestled away on the “hillside”, to enjoy a slice of tropical paradise. Fully recommend!

It was very nice and comfortable house! Everything is perfect with host's careful concern. Hope to stay here again!

The view is exquisite!!!! Imagine peaceful mornings on the lanai enjoying freshly picked papaya while overlooking Kona and the Pacific. John and Anne are wonderful hosts. We can't wait to return. Thanks.

Very friendly hosts, taking care of their home. Also we liked getting so many local tips from John. A good stay!

Very brief stay after arriving late and departing early, but John was communicative, the space was clean and the view was great!

John and Anne were super friendly hosts. Their place is in a great location not too far a drive from downtown Kona. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to check out the area!

Great place, great location and nice terrace to see the sunset. It has a small fridge, small oven and all the cutlery and plates that you need. John and Ann are very nice hosts.

This home was beautiful and very comfortable.. the backyard was cozy and the family was very sweet and accommodating.. great for the price too

John and his wife Ann are great people. We stayed in one of the bedrooms in the main house with the bathroom down the hallway. We felt like family and enjoyed our stay.

John’s guest room was exactly what our traveling family needed. The room and on suite bathroom was clean and accommodated all of our needs. His home is located close to downtown kona and only a short ride to the airport. The unobstructed view of the sunset was also a plus. If you are looking for an attentive host family, you’ll enjoy your stay at John’s place.

Aaron and Elizabeth were super convenient. Very accommodating and the sweetest. They were great with communication. As for amenities, they blew us away. Place was gorgeous, right in heart of town, beautiful scenery, and just super aloha. My spouse and I would definitely reccomend as well as make this our favorite airbnb in kona!

Spacious, clean, and very nice one-bedroom condo in a great location in Kona. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops on Ali’i Drive. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a great one bedroom apartment on the third floor. It is clean and cozy. It has a great view of the water. There is a small kitchen with a refrigerator. The shops and restaurants are less than a 10 min walk, but it is a slight uphill on the way back. It is perfect if you are out enjoying the island and come back to relax and sleep at night. I will definitely look into staying here for our next trip.

I’ll miss Aaron’s place! This was like a home away from home. Aaron’s place is stocked with everything you need from kitchen supplies and spices to a comfy bed and even a washer/dryer! Truly felt like we were at home while exploring the Big island. Walking distance from downtown Kona but even better from Broke Da Mouth (one of my fave restaurants on the island). Aaron was easy to contact and very accommodating. I’m coming back here next year for sure!!

Certainly put this on your itinerary as a great place in Kona

The condo is located at the end of town which I loved. I enjoyed being to walk to most places while I visited. The view is wonderful. Had my morning coffee each day with an awesome view. I loved it and it was exactly how it was described!

Amazing location, gorgeous views, wonderful host. We felt lucky every day!

We had a great stay at Aaron’s place. Clean, stocked with everything we needed, budget friendly, great location, although we didn’t communicate with Aaron much, we knew if we had questions/ concerns he would answer with hospitality. Thanks Aaron, hope to stay again.

Todd and his place are rad. Look forward to my next stay!

Absolute gem of a spot. Pictures don’t do it justice. Todd is such an interesting man and his house is truly Hawaiian gem. After reading a couple pages of the book Hawaii by James Michener; which I grabbed off his book rack,I had to buy a copy myself. Wish I was still there. Enjoy the ocean view on his back porch and stay longer than a day.

Hello Todd! thank you very much for your warm welcome, the good travel tips, your hospitality and pleasant manner. A peaceful atmosphere, the sound of the waves right outside the window and lovely details in the design. We really enjoyed our stay in your house, thank you! Annette and Steffi

Lovely! Great views!

If you want a beach house vibe with excellent hospitality, you’ve come to the right place! Todd’s house is amazing! The views are incredible and you can’t put a price on falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. Don’t even get me started on the indescribable sunsets you’ll see from his gallery. If you want to make new friends, just go snorkeling in front of his house. You’ll be greeted by sea turtles and fish every day. If you’re lucky like us, you can even kayak with the dolphins. Todd let us do all of this free of charge! He is an amazing host and was always a delight to chat with. He gave us good suggestions on where to eat and what to do. The bed in the room is huge and really comfortable. The stars painted on the ceiling are a nice touch and having our own private bathroom was pretty perfect too. All in all, our stay was great and we’d go back anytime!

Todd’s place was wonderful! He made us feel so welcome and the view from the back deck was AMAZING! It quickly became our favorite spot to enjoy and we were always a bit disappointed when we didn’t make it back for the phenomenal sunsets! We were also able to see lots of whales from the back deck which made my trip! Parking was a bit difficult as some others said, but Todd helped us get situated on our spot and even helped us park the car. This is not a resort type stay, but is comfortable, and again the view is spectacular! I can’t say how much I appreciated staying here, and will definitely look into staying here again if I’m able to come back!

Todd was very friendly, welcoming, and responsive. The ocean was right outside our bedroom window; it was awesome to be lulled to sleep by it! The house is quiet, rustic and Close to town and activities.

Awesome stay! Thanks for the hospitality Todd...what an incredible view and ambiance to fall asleep and wake to, thanks for sharing with us!

Mark and Pla have a great spot near the ocean. It is only a three minute walk down the driveway. Also, there is a market very close to their place that is highly convenient, especially if you don’t have a car.

Great place to stay

Mark and Pla are amazing hosts. Thank you so much for your hospitality, absolutely great conditions, offering the whole beach equipment, chairs, swimming masks and desk. The place itself is near a very beautiful magic sand beach. There is a free and safe parking as well.The room was very comfortable and the kitchen as well. Everything necessary there. Mark and Pla were so friendly and helped in everything we needed. They also offer free coffee and water. Definitely will come here again. I do recommend them absolutely! Thank you again!!!

The hosts were very nice and helpful. The place was clean and they even had many things for us we could use (Snorkel gear, noodles, portable cooler etc.). They also recommended a lot of places worth seeing that weren't mentioned on the internet. Thank you for having us!

Expect the most awesome Airbnb experience ever. Mark and Pla are both wonderful and made sure that I felt welcomed and comfortable. They were very gracious hosts and I can't wait to be able to stay at their place again.

Mark and Pla are great hosts. They are both friendly and welcoming. Mark has the best suggestions for eating and drinking out - I highly recommend listening to him. Everything from check-in to directions to useful tips were all great!

Mark and Pla were the most hospitable hosts and welcomed my sister and me into their home with open arms! They are so generous and kind. Most importantly, they are totally down-to-earth. Thank you for making our trip special, Mark and Pla!

Mark and Pla are incredible hosts! I spent 5 nights there and Mark gave me lots of adresses to enjoy my stay. He introduced me to paddle boarding and we have swim with the dolphins and the turtles. They are more than kind with their guests . I spent two entire days with Mark :) I strongly recommend to go there !!! It was a wonderful stay ! Thank you for everything :)

I used it for my honeymoon. A clean home in a very quiet location. I was able to spend slowly in the spacious living room.

We had a wonderful stay at Beth’s place. It was perfect for our group of 5 and the location was great.

If I could give 6 stars, I would.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and we loved sitting out in the enclosed deck area. There was a game table and everyone enjoyed playing each other in chess.

Lovely house, thanks for being a wonderful host Beth!

The house is very spacious, bright, and airy. It was very clean and quiet as well. The location is excellent - very close to beaches, snorkeling, and shops/restaurants. There was some snorkeling and beach gear that we could borrow, which was very helpful.

Staying at Bath's location was great! We were close to beaches, grocery stores, a delicious poke place, and downtown. It was dark, cool, and quiet at night, and bright and airy in the day. There was everything we needed for cooking our own meals and general living, including a puzzle and board games, and my entire party had a great time. When we return to Kona we plan to stay here again!

Lovely little beach house with everything you need. Close to town and the beach.

Treehouse Ohana is fantastic! It’s a great location and has tons of charm. James & Keiko are outstanding hosts. Extremely friendly, easygoing, and just plain fun to be around. They provided us great local suggestions with lots of detail. Highly recommend Treehouse Ohana!

Fantastic hosts for this artsy, aloha filled "treehouse." Great location above Kona with terrific ocean views. Watching the full moon from the hot tub was a highlight. Perfect for folks who need 2 bedrooms, just be aware there is sound bleed between the two.

What a great place to stay! James and Keiko are gracious hosts who are very helpful and very welcoming! We really enjoyed our stay here; sunsets from bed, James’ delicious coffee and their hot tub beside an incredible rainbow eucalyptus were our personal highlights. Thank you again James and Keiko for a fantastic experience!

James and Keiko were by far the best hosts that we have encountered in our Airbnb travels. Treehouse Ohana was a dream! Fresh fruit and coffee always available, a stunning view of the ocean over the rainforest right from the bed, and a friendly little kitty to keep us company. The treehouse is located in a private area, surrounded by nature, that is still a quick drive to amazing restaurants and beaches. Though we were only there for a few nights, we wished it could have been a few weeks. Thank you James and Keiko for giving us a home in Hawaii.

Keiko and James are exceptional hosts and great friends at the treehouse. We would definitely come back to their place just to meet and greet them, have a fun conversation and hang out with them. They welcomed us like old friends, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house was clean, fancy, and had an atmosphere of a very special place, especially for art lovers.

The treehouse was a great place for exploring Kona and the west coast of the island. James and Keiko were great hosts, providing local tips, access to snorkel equipment and full access to their kitchen (including amazing coffee from their coffee farm!). The view was amazing and the hot tub was perfect for the end of each day.

The Treehouse Ohana was an unbelievable jungle getaway for our family. Between the delicious coffee from James’ farm each morning to the perfect sunset view with our dinner every night it was idyllic in every way. The kind and peaceful atmosphere invited our 4yr old to bond immediately with James and Keiko as well as sleep soundly each night to the sounds of the jungle. We may be making this amazing spot a yearly event ;)

James and Keiko’s treehouse is MAGICAL. Do yourself a favor and stay here. Not only is the room a tropical paradise, the hosts are absolute superstars.

This is the type of nest in Hawaii you can write a book in. You feel cradled and very creative in this space. I highly recommend it. It is on a mountain. The sounds of nature lullaby you to sleep. The garden and lushness give you vitality as you sip your tea and feel the breeze that comes in your window. The smells of nature and flowers come in and you feel relaxed and inspired. The place is very clean and the host is sweet. Enjoy!

Can’t say enough about KJ’s cottage. The description is spot on. It’s cozy, clean and only a short hop down the hill/ road to the beach and town. KJ is quick to respond to questions, but the webpage pretty much details everything you’d need to know about her place. I literally received a message from her through the app seconds after making the reservation. Had a great stay and am already looking forward to my next visit to the Big Island.

Very nice and clean little place with a great view. Host communicated well!

Great location, so awesome to be in the cool elevation and the jungle like environment. This place is perfect and affordable, especially if you just need a place to rest and recharge before and after your adventures. I would definitely stay again!

Beautiful and peaceful place!

Loved our stay here! Cute, cozy, and well appointed with everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Big Island. Thank you KJ!

Great location with great mountain vibes. KJ is incredibly responsive and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Clean, comfortable bed, beautiful sunset.

The condo is in a great location within walking distance to coffee shops, restrants, and town, not to mention being right on the water. The space is clean and had everything we needed to get through our stay. Everything was very clean and neat and everyone in our party enjoyed the space from the big screen TV to the large spanse of light filled sliding doors that lead right out to your own beachfront oasis to the nicely remodeled walk-in shower. Lots of nice touches that made the space feel well cared for. The neighbors were very nice and the host Mai and Mar were very responsive and accommodating. A spot worth putting on the heart list! Thanks so much.

Such a great place and great host. Mai was so accommodating and flexible with my stay at her place. It is such a perfect spot with the beach literally right outside the slider and downtown within steps. Had everything needed in the kitchen and nice appliances. Parking was really great too. Could not have been happier!

Wonderful location and ample parking, even during the holiday season.

Great condo to stay at! Great location and price. The amenities were unbelievabl. Especially the TV, it was like a web browser you can switch on anything. Thanks

Beautiful property right on the coast. Ample parking and nice amenities. The condo is exactly as described.

Mai’s place At Kona Reef is perfect!

This place was exactly what I thought a beach condo would be, including the wicker furniture! Mai was very quick to respond to any questions I had, and when I needed to arrive a day earlier than planned, she was able to accommodate me, and also provide an early check-in. It was very clean, and the bed linens were of good quality. You can see the ocean from the lanai, there are some overgrown plants on the other side of the wall that hinder the view somewhat, but we spent most of our time actually on the beach, so that wasn't much of an issue. There were beach chairs, an ice chest, and flippers available to use, no snorkels or masks, but those were easy to rent/buy down the road. Everything was clean, and I had no issues using the washer/dryer. The a/c is in the living room, and it doesn't quite reach the bedroom if you turn it on before bed and off when you leave in the AM, but there is a ceiling fan over the bed. The only thing I had a slight issue with, was upon arriving, I read on the card on the table that I had to start a load of towels and take out all trash before I left or face additional cleaning fees. I don't mind helping out, but I already paid a cleaning fee when I booked, so I was taken aback by this directive. Overall, we had a great stay with a great host, and would definitely book again. Thank you Mai

Perfect stay, would recommend

Great stay, awesome location.

We loved this space and location and would definitely stay again.

This beautiful cozy apartment is located at the heart of Kona, the complex is very beautiful, I had a lovely time spending my days both within the complex and around Kona! Definitely recommend those wish to stay in the heart of the town.

Right in town! Entire facility was well kept. Pool was clean and everyone was very friendly.

Cece’s an outstanding host. As soon as I booked my reservation, she provided information on her studio and local tips. Her studio is small but got everything we needed. The the location is so prime, we can walk anywhere in the downtown area. Thank you!

Great place to stay for anyone traveling overseas to the big island or anyone in the local area! Cece is a great host and the environment is very welcoming to everyone. Worth the booking👌

This place is great! Right in the heart of Kona Town. Host is very responsive and was very helpful. Enjoyed my stay very much!

very convenient location in kona. walk to restaurants, beaches, farmer's market & more.

Though we only stayed for two days, our time in Cynthia’s beautiful guest house was a joy. The views are just gorgeous & the space is very clean, inviting, & cozy. It’s hard to pick between enjoying the amazing patio overlooking lush trees & the ocean or venturing just down the road to explore the area. The location is perfect for zipping down to enjoy the beach or local restaurants-there is so much to access within a 15min drive. Everything you could need is provided, along with some thoughtful extras. I would love to come back & highly recommend this space if you are looking for a scenic, cozy, & unique place to stay!

Very cozy, relaxing, clean, cute space. Really enjoyed the location and view.

Amazing Experience and Stay ! Location is on top of a Hill over Kona - in a very safe Neighborhood and has great views. The Guest Suite over looks the beautiful natural Jungle w. an ocean view - You get to experience nature at its best - with sounds of various animals and sounds of roosters in the morning. The suite has everything you need, just bring your groceries (water/food). Small drive into Kona for Restaurants. Cynthia is a great host and gave clear instructions. Had a personalized Welcome message when we arrived and a lot of cool amenities (washer/dryer) - List of activities you can do while on the Big Island and my favorite was the ukulele on the bed...it was fun to play :) Would highly recommend and come back to stay again.

Clean, quiet, cozy, beautiful view and good Facilities. Cynthia answers rapidly and wanna make your stay as good as possible.

Great location up in the hills over Kona! Just an easy 20 minute drive into town, and there’s a great view from the patio all the way down to the ocean. It comes as advertised or is even nicer than we expected based on the photos and reviews. And there were nice thoughtful touches like a bag of local hand picked Kona coffee beans for sale. It has everything you need to stay there and cook and entertain yourself.

This was a truly wonderful experience. There was a welcome sign, bottle of bubbly, the view and sunsets were the best you could ask for.

Beautiful, very private guest house in lush garden setting. Cynthia was ideal host, very welcoming and personable but carefully non-intrusive. Home is accessed from the high road, several miles above the activities of Kona and a distance from amenities like stores and restaurants. Views en route and from the property are spectacular!

My husband and I had a great 2-night stay at Cynthia’s. Easy arrival and clear communication. A great place to stay outside of Kona without being too far away, about 20 min to shopping/restaurants in a concentrated area. You feel like you are in a tucked away paradise with the birds singing away. Total privacy despite being below the main level of the house. Noise was never an issue, and we were out exploring for most of the day anyway. The place has all you need for beach day, which was a great plus. The bed was so comfy! I would gladly stay here again if I found myself in Kona again.

Great place. Quiet and serene apartment complex with view of ocean and pool. Quick 5 min walk into town and great amenities.

Just about what we expected from the listing! Good apartment, excellent location, and walk to the ocean. We enjoyed watching the sunset at night from the pool area.

Great location for walking around downtown Kona. Close to beach. Pool is right on the ocean. Clean and comfortable.

This condo is in a prime location. It’s only a couple min walk into town. The view is beautiful and it’s close to the pool. If we come back to the big island we would definitely stay here again. Mai was so helpful and answered us so quickly.

The place was very nice and the location and amenities were fabulous. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The pool and hot tub was just what I needed for some solid "me" time!

Mai and her associates were very responsive to questions we had. Our family felt well equipped for cooking at home when we wanted to cook. The place was clean and quaint. We enjoyed the place very much. Mai’s place had everything we needed when we went to the beach or went on our excursion. We were close to the stores, some white sand beach’s, and the market place (which we enjoyed a lot along with the short walks). The swimming pool there was always warm too. Thanks Mai and Mar.

Great location and value for being within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. The pool is also nice for dipping in real quick and there is also a beach right next door.

Mai’s place is great! The pool, hot tub and access to the beach are amazing! Sunset there is not to be missed! The king sized bed is so comfy, and the kitchen has all the accessories you would ever need... even has a coffee grinder! We appreciated use of the cooler. beach chairs, and boogie boards as well! You will love staying here!

Very kind and knowledgeable. Showed me a path to a secluded beach nearby and gave me raw honey for a cut I got. Rooms are nice and clean. Close to the beach/downtown.

I enjoyed my stay with Sue the room was clean and comfy. Sue was also a sweetheart. On the first night we arrived Sue walked us to where our Luau was at one of the resorts, and showed my mom different areas to go shopping. Also walking distance to bars and restaurants and pick up spots for tours. Would stay here again easily.

Economical way for especially one person to visit this paradise in a very good location within the middle of the community.

Sue was a very kind host and gave me great tips for my Roadtrip! The house is beautiful!

I enjoyed my stay here. Myung Sook is really nice and friendly. She is also super helpful. Many things are within walking distance of her place so it was very convenient.

Good place , good place and Sun is very happy

Our stay with Sue was amazing! She is so kind, responds quickly to messages, has great tips on where to go and how to get around, and she meets you when you check in. The room is cozy and the airbnb is in a great location. If you bring your own vehicle, it’s important to communicate what time you’re getting back and leaving each day, because parking is tight! Sue is very helpful in figuring it all out. I would definitely stay here again!

Sue was a gracious and thoughtful host - a beautiful person, who made my stay in Kona a very special one. If you're looking for a basic room in a great location with an exceptional host - this is the place.
