Vacation rentals in Honu‘apo Bay

Seriously paradise. It met all my desires for a beach vacation: It is right across the street from Magic sands beach - the condo is set back, so about a 4 minute walk. I think it is the only sandy beach in the area. A 3 minute drive to amazing snorkeling in a protected bay/ cove. A 10 minute drive to great shops and restaurants. You have your own parking spot. Re: the condo- Quiet, and I am a light sleeper. Chorus of birds in the trees on the property begins at dawn. They are the alarm clock I've always wanted. They get more quiet after the initial greeting of the day. The apartment has all the amenities, including good kitchen knives for cooking, pots and pans in good shape, olive oil, pls more. All the beach gear and snorkeling gear you could want. You have a partial ocean view from the lanai, it is really nice to sit out at the table and eat while gazing at the water and hills. Do be safe at this beach - big waves break right on sand - just use common sense and you will be fine.

We really enjoyed our time in Hilo. Richard's house was a great space for our family. Definitely a chill, summer house vibe. It had everything we needed, and the view out the picture windows was stunning. We loved the huge tree in the front yard. We spent a lot of time at Richardson Beach. Snorkeling was really great. We would love to return.

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.

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!

Part of a condo group, next to (unpretentious) Beaches restaurant - which locals stated was "the best in Kona" - and only steps away from Magic Sands Beach. View out the double wide slider was to clear ocean surf, full of yellow tang and black trigger fish visible in most swells. There is no A/C but the fans (there were 5 but we really only need the two large ceiling fans) kept it very comfortable.) This was April and daytime temperatures were low 80's. All in all a very nice place hanging out or as a home base. Great location for Kona and the beaches north. About .1 mile to La'aloa St, which takes you up to Hwy 11 (bypass highway for north or south travel. I recommend for a group of 2.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. Ariya was super responsive and friendly. The house was clean and well equipped. Views are beautiful. The only drawback for us was that the pool was too deep to let the kids totally loose in as they couldn’t touch the bottom even in the shallow end. I will admit this is unlikely to be a problem for adults. The house is a bit of a drive from stores and towns/ some sites of interest, this was known to us and not an issue. Definitely need a car to get around, and a good idea to have groceries stocked!

Such an amazing feeling walking in the door to a clean, pristine, organized, beautiful space. Lots of room for the price and great fitting for 3-4 people. No one was standing on eachother, where I’ve stayed at places for the same price and we were so tight so this was refreshing. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom and shower was so clean and wonderful, everything was organized and easy to use and understand. I am beyond happy with my stay and I do recommend this to anyone who is looking for a place in town where you can walk into town and go shopping or eating and not be directly on the main road having to hear loud cars pass by. This place was quiet and amazing. 10/10 Thank you so much

Such a relaxing stay. Even had food stocked in kitchen!

Very beautiful and comfortable spot, in a great location! The community pool and grills were nice and convenient for days when you didn’t feel like driving to a beach and staying in and grilling up dinner. Having a washer / dryer in unit was also a wonderful touch. About a mile walk to the Kona strip, with restaurants and such, (road has a dedicated bike / walking lane, so felt safe doing so).
