Gorgeous Unit, Stunning Views!
The apartment was beautiful! The view was exactly as the photo depicted. The place was organized, clean, and was supplied with almost everything and anything we needed. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Oceanview, Steps to Downtown: The Pono Condo
Very comfortable condo, close to everything, walking distance to farmers market. We really enjoyed our stay and would have loved to stay longer.

Kona Reef D36, Direct Oceanfront! Top Floor! A/C
We immediately felt right at home and welcomed by Regina and Scott. From the well organized binder of information to every amenity one might need, this is THE place to spend a week. When not running out to the sites on the Big Island, this property will meet all your needs. The room was quiet and had easy access. We could easily walk to town or have dinner on our private lanai while watching the sunset. When the staff blows the conch shells at sunset, all will be right in your world.

Beach access + Downtown Kona + Pool + Hot Tub
We had such a wonderful stay! Everything was clean, quiet and decorated beautifully. Loved the taco shop across the street. Also loved the farmers market across the street. The unit was well stocked with everything you need as far as cooking or a beach day. High quality toiletries were provided as well. I felt like the unit was even more spacious than the pictures. We came for my little sisters wedding and this was just the perfect little home away from home. Comfy beds, nice tvs, beautiful lanai. Just a short drive down to downtown. Great location. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise!

Stay Across Banyans: Surf, Sunsets, & Amenities AC
Angela is an incredible host! She is very accommodating and has a clean, well-designed home. The in-unit washer/dryer is a huge plus! 10/10 stay would recommend!!

Mauna Loa Village 1BR Deluxe Unit
What a wonderful place to relax and to enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer!

NEW! ADORABLEbungalow in Kona
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful resort! Everything exceeded our expectations—from the spacious and spotless room to the warm, strong shower that felt amazing after a long day out. You can really feel how much care and thought Greg put into designing the space—it’s cozy, welcoming, and just perfect for a relaxing vacation. The location is unbeatable for snorkeling lovers like us, with some of the island’s best spots just a short drive away. If we ever come back to the Big Island, there’s no doubt—we’ll be staying here again!

Beautiful Ocean Views, Air Conditioning, Elevator
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.

PARADISE! 1 BR Condo Steps Away from the Beach
Nice clean apartment, great location, well equipped, nice pool area and Gabriel on hand to help with any queries.

10 min to Town* AC*King Bed*Oceanside Pool
We had an amazing stay at Annabel’s condo! Kona was absolutely lovely. We watched a some breathtaking sunsets from the chairs on the beach. It was a beautiful spot and just as pictured except the reclining wood chairs on the balcony are no longer there. We also really appreciated and made great use of the beach chairs, towels, noodles and body boards in the closet. There are also some kids floaty and toys for those coming with kids. Check with the host before you come because the salt water pool was closed the week we stayed for maintenance and we were kind of bummed because we were looking forward to using it. The fresh water pool was available though which was lovely. All and all this was great and would book again!

Newly remodeled 2/2 luxury, air con, ocean view
Outstanding air bnb. My family and I loved staying here. We slept well in the cozy beds, ate well in the amazing kitchen and lounged beautifully all around. I adored the full size ld and brand new washer and dryer! Absolutely a hidden gem of all gems. Well appointed in every way. And we even fell in love with the sweet neighbor pup who thoughtfully greeted us daily. Kenya has a great property (with a spectacular view) and a kindness that is steeped into her home, her instruction, and her hospitality. Absolutely 10/10. We would return!!! Actually I would stay anywhere else on the big island. Thank you so much, Kenya!

Centrally Located Downtown Kona Condo
The place was great. Felt like I was in my own lush garden. Easy to walk to restaurants.

Newly Furnished with Ocean Access w/ AC
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Lava Lounge
Lava lounge was extremely convenient and close to Kona downtown and captain cook area. The space was clean, spacious studio and very cozy. Highly recommend for your stay in Kona.

Holualoa Garden Studio- BIG SALE! Spring & Summer
Really enjoyed our stay here. The place had everything we needed and more. It was nice that we could borrow chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc for the beach and the kitchen was very well stocked, which was great since we planned to cook. Parking was a little rough in the rain, as it's a steep hill and our rental car didn't have good tread, but we made it. The only complaint I have is that they required windows be open to help with mold/mildew, but that resulted in us feeling like we didn't have privacy as voices carried and someone was watching TV quite loudly one night, which was a bit disturbing. Outside of that though, it was a great place to stay and we would come again.

Gorgeous condo walking distance to the beach!
Lennis really cares about the comfort of her guests, and it shows through every effort she put into the condo to make us feel at home. The condo was spotlessly clean—no sand, no bugs—which is rare in Hawaii. We are light sleepers and were a little worried about staying on the first floor; surprisingly, we barely heard any footsteps from the upstairs neighbor. Lennis was also very responsive to our requests and proactively went beyond our needs to make it an incredible stay. Sometimes, it’s obvious when an Airbnb host provides only the bare minimum to make money, but Lennis was completely the opposite. From the kitchen tools and towels to the miscellaneous amenities, everything was high quality and something I would use at home for my own comfort. We had a great extended stay in Kona! Mahalo.

Kona Plumeria Guesthouse
The hosts were very responsive and transparent, and offered to do our laundry because the washing machine in our unit was broken temporarily. The place was tidy and clean. Comfortable stay all around

Kona Nate's Ocean Front Photography Escape
nice well kept place, beautiful view of ocean as shown in pictures, enjoyed sitting in the balcony with me coffee. Convenient and within 10 mins to Kona downtown. residential area and safe.

Exceptional Kona Reef Condo: Full AC & Oceanfront
We very happy with the place! We loved the decor and furniture, the patio area is excellent with amazing views of the surf (enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the evening out there!). It is also very conveniently stocked with essentials, which is much appreciated. Easy walk to many, many great restaurants and shops!

Golf Pkg, Min from the beach Shores Waikoloa
We had an amazing stay at Allyson’s condo on the Big Island! The apartment was spotless, beautifully organized, and so thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed – it truly felt like a home away from home for the week. From the kitchen supplies to the beach gear, every detail was carefully considered and made our holiday so much more comfortable and relaxing. The location was perfect for exploring the island, and we loved having such a peaceful, welcoming space to return to at the end of each day. Allyson was a fantastic host - so kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the Big Island - thank you for making our trip so special! The best Airbnb we have ever stayed at.

Suite Magic Sands Beach
This was my first time doing an Air BNB and Howard made my experience so great!! He was super friendly. Recommended all the great places!!! His 24 hour pool access was my favorite along with his great conversation and recommendations! Because of him I’m looking forward to staying at more Air BNBs!!

Relax! Surfing & Racquet Club 5-201
Very nice place and they did their best to accommodate our group

Ocean Front Condo
This was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone! You can look right out onto the water and listen to the waves crash while relaxing on the lanai. It was close enough to restaurants and downtown Kona, but far enough to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Enchanted 1BR Kona City Retreat
This was our first time staying at an Airbnb and we were a little nervous but Deborah was incredible! She exceeded our expectations with her friendliness, recommendations, fast response to questions, and her warm hospitality. The condo was exactly what we were expecting based on the pictures. Extremely clean with everything we needed and a great location. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, semi-private lanai that had a sliver of an ocean view. The bed was harder than we expected but Deborah helped fix the situation quickly to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. This was an amazing first experience and has definitely set our expectations high for future Airbnb stays. Mahalo nui loa Deborah!!! You are genuinely the best 🌺
