Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Hawaii County

We were very well pleased with the accommodations and the amenities. The house was spacious, clean, and well appointed.

hidden gem on lovely grounds with his own honey bees making scrumptious honey. Dennis was so sweet and friendly and his dog and cat were so sweet too. loved how close and convenient it was to the volcano national park. The property is set in a simply gorgeous subtropical plot.

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!

Peggy’s place was absolutely remarkable. We drove into the driveway and there were three Kanji pheasants standing around in front of the house! The wrap around windows let us enjoy the jungle landscape no matter where we were in the house. The bed was comfortable and Peggy even left us a pineapple, papayas, and apple bananas. The location was great for us—within minutes of Volcanoes National Park, so we were able to get an early start both mornings we spent hiking. Peggy was great at communicating, made recommendations for dinners for us which were spot on, and even emailed us first thing in the morning to let us know an eruption had begun! My husband and I both loved the place and it was one of the most memorable Airbnbs we have ever stayed in. Thanks again Peggy!

Everything was as described. We had no issues finding the place, checking in or out. Everything was easily identified. Everything was clean, organized, and not “cheap”. Sometimes you get some Airbnb that use cheaper stuff (plates, cutlery, cups etc) but these cups were clean and legit. It’s small things like this that are appreciated. Beds are comfy, patio is comfortable. Locations: short drive to gas and small local market. Short drive to volcano and hikes etc. Great base camp for the area.

Our family loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the set up was perfect for our needs. We especially loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings, and falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs. The location was a further from the ocean than we realized, but we enjoyed the lushness of the hilly terrain and would stay there again. Susan and Iris were very responsive when we reported a few minor appliance issues and it didn't impact our overall experience.

Puna Rainforest Retreat Hotspring is truly one of the most beautiful Airbnb properties I’ve ever stayed at. Nestled in the lush rainforest, the property features stunning orchards, a thriving vegetable garden, and a serene trail that made our stay feel like a true escape into nature. Our host, Jacklyn, has clearly poured a lot of love and care into maintaining this special place. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, generously offering us fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the farm. It was such a unique and thoughtful touch that made our experience even more memorable. Our whole family had a wonderful time here, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the natural beauty of the property. If we return to the Big Island, there’s no question—we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a magical and relaxing getaway.

We booked Todd’s place last minute after our arrangements in Kona didn’t work out and we are SO happy to have ended up there. Excellent host and house. Todd gave us great local recommendations and even sent us a note when volcanic activity picked up. The vicinity to the park was perfect. The house was very clean and well cared for. We especially appreciated all of the artistic touches from tile to mill work. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

I recommend this stay ! There's privacy, private parking, no issues. Great communication!

Sally's place did not disappoint--we so enjoyed being tucked away on the Big Island. There were plenty of nearby hikes and outdoor activities. It was also incredibly easy to just stay put and relax. We used the spot to get around to various locations on the island. We also had no issues driving back at night. Super great touches we appreciated, like having water shoes, snorkeling gear, and a cooler (all things we ended up using!). Appreciated the flexibility using the shared laundry machines. Sally also proactively offered a later check out on our last day since there was no on checking in. We hadn't planned on lingering, but ended up spending a little more time with our coffee next to the pond that morning!

Loved my stay at the gecko inn! Gets cool at night which is perfect for sleeping. Very comfortable and private area. 10/10 recommend! It’s minuets from the entrance of the national park

Well-stocked 3B/2B condo ~30 min from Kona Airport. I was pleasantly surprised by how thoughtfully stocked and pristine this unit was. Everything appeared brand new and of high quality. Comfy beds, kitchen with Nespresso machine, spice rack, and cookware. Thoughtful extras like beach gear, toiletries, and laundry supplies were appreciated. Easy check-in/out and responsive host. A few things to note: 1. This is a third-floor walk-up. It may not be ideal for guests with mobility issues. 2. There is a portable AC in the kitchen and ceiling fans in every room. Despite this the condo can get hot, especially the main bedroom. I’ve since learned that central AC is uncommon in Hawaii, but this may be helpful for future guests to know. 3. The second bedroom is separated by a sliding door, and the third is a loft. Light sleepers should be aware that sound travels, though earplugs were thoughtfully provided. Overall, my group of 5 enjoyed our stay here. Mahalo!
