Waterfront vacation rentals in Hawaii County

Wonderful place to stay! Our best Airbnb experience on big island to date. Kenya is very friendly and proactive host, the house is at great location and has every little thing you might need for an enjoyable island stay. We’ll be back! P.s. when looking through previous comments, I’ve noticed one “negative” about parking and backing out into the Ali’s drive and it kind of spooked me as I’m a relatively novice driver. That said, it’s actually very convenient and there’s plenty of space for SUV not to back out directly onto the street but rather do a u turn and turn with clear view, I didn’t have any trouble whatsoever.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Hawaiian Getaway! This condo was absolutely perfect for our trip to Hawaii! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the cleanliness, comfort, and attention to detail. The view was stunning — waking up to the sound of the ocean and sipping coffee on the lanai felt like a dream. The location is ideal: close to the beach, great restaurants, and local shops, but still peaceful and quiet. The condo was stocked with everything we needed — beach chairs, towels, even a cooler for day trips. The kitchen had all the essentials, and we loved having the option to cook some meals at home. Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing clear instructions and local recommendations that made our stay even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base in paradise. We’re already planning our next visit — highly, highly recommend!

Very nice place and they did their best to accommodate our group

I enjoyed my stay in Kona. This place was exactly as advertised and looked just like the pictures. Thomas was super proactive and responsive to all of my needs. Check in was easy and clear instruction for check in and check out were provided. Amenities included a wide selection of beach items which was fantastic. Location was wonderful with walkable access to several popular but never crowded beaches. Private parking was a plus. I recommend.

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!

We've stayed in this condo complex last year for Merrie Monarch and really like the location. The view was amazing! Walking distance to restaurants/coffee shop we frequent. Everything was clean and we appreciated having access to netflix, etc, when relaxing at night. We never cooked, but noted that the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay in the unit again.

Fantastic condo. Bed was very comfortable. Loved having 2 bathrooms. Beach amenities were in closet, so no need to buy any. Coffee pot and electric kettle for hot tea was very appreciated. AC was quiet and kept the condo comfortable. There are some good restaurants next door. Loved the covered parking. Washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice place if you like to stay away from the main city. There's no cell signal around, but this place has good wifi that you can get on some part of the street as well. Scott is great and always available. Only considerations would be that: The laundry is not in building, it's in the next door nieghbors place with time limitations and the sink in the kitchen is a bit small. Apart from that great.

We had a wonderful stay at Aloha Falls. Loved sitting on the lanai watching the waterfall and going down to the waterfall. The showers are so big! Staying here feels like you’re remote from everything but its location is so close to downtown Hilo, making it the perfect place to stay. We would def stay here again

We booked The Whale House for our Big Island stay. Only four of us were there - 3 kids and an adult - but this house could easily hold several more. We used the 2 bedrooms on the main floor and one of the bedrooms on the lower floor. Each bedroom comes with its own bathroom, which felt like such a luxury coming from city living. My daughter loved the decor. She enjoyed that each room had its own theme. We were in the dolphin room. The kitchen is very well stocked. The garage has beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, coolers, and other beach supplies that came in handy as we explored. The backyard was so lovely. We enjoyed exploring the different flowers and plants. The view of the ocean is unmatched. The sunrise and moonrise were both visible and stunning. We were so lucky to find the Whale House.

Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

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.

Joe & Cindy’s home was absolutely breathtaking. Photos cannot possibly do justice to the beautiful view and immaculate home. Our hosts were very responsive and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Panoramic view was so nice and the location was good to travel around. Kids loved toys and sauces on the pantry and papaya from the tree on the house was amazing. My family had a pleasant time there, everything was peaceful and enjoyable. Thank you for the lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay at Mary’s place. The home is nestled in a lush, serene setting and was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Mary and her property manager were responsive, helpful, and accommodating. We loved relaxing by the pool and taking evening walks to catch the sunset over the ocean at the nearby park. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, and we loved the open-air layout—it felt like a home away from home. Waking up to the sight and sounds of the ocean from the upstairs bedroom is something we’ll miss. Thank you, Mary, for graciously sharing your beautiful space with us! The memories our family made at this home are something we'll always hold dearly.

View was amazing. As previously stated by other guests the ride down is an eye opener. We took daily walks around the neighborhood and just stayed and enjoyed the sunshine and ocean views. Did manage to catch views of some stray whales, sea turtles floating by and a manta ray!

This was the last trip on my 11 night honeymoon across 3 islands and 4 different lodgings. This was by the far the absolute best location and cleanest and best space easily. They had towels for the beach and pool, a cooler, beach chairs, and the lanai has the most incredible view. Heck even the view from the parking space was incredible. We were also able to walk to dinner and lunch every day and the pool was quiet and we constantly had it all to ourselves. Falling asleep to the waves crashing was incredible. The a/c also went out before we checked in and Staci’s handyman was there to install portable units before we were even in town yet - fortunately everything was fixed before we got there so we didn’t end up needing to use them. Check out was a breeze with the only responsibility being take the trash to the trash room. I cannot recommend this place enough, absolutely amazing experience all around.

Beautiful clean and roomy condo in a perfect location. Close to everything Kona had to offer. I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay inside or while out on the beach. Would highly recommend! And would love to come back one day. Thanks again for an awesome vacation!

Amazing location right next to magic sands beach! Loved that we had access to all the beach supplies we needed (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc). Had a great 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.

Awesome location and lodgings. The soothing sounds of the ocean are the best.

had a fantastic time on Big Island, the stay was perfect, thanks Jenna
