Apartment vacation rentals in Kailua-Kona

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!

Our stay was so perfect and high quality. Everything matched the picture and the discreption. We're all so sad we didnt have time to go to the pool and the beach but from looking around and seeing it, I bet it would be a great experience and great place to take beach pictures. Its a gated area and it felt safe to go in and out the complex anytime. Annabel's condo is so clean, has all the things we needed. My next trip back to kona I will definitely be going back to Annabels place. All around felt the spirit of aloha.

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.

Angela was very responsive in the Airbnb’s app! Whenever we had an issue, ie confused the building number (due to jet lag), had a small mishap with the washing machine, or any other questions, she was always quick to reply and came over one night to problem solve the washing machine issue. It was easy, she was flexible with our schedule and very kind! She was also very accommodating for us having two little ones, she had two pack n plays set out with fresh sheets and brand new looking blankets for our arrival. Bathroom had basics items like bath washes, bubble bath, lotion, assortment of sunscreens etc. we especially enjoyed the Tommy Bahama cooler backpack for our long days at Kona beaches. This listing is on Ali’I Dr and therefore close to an assortment of local needs (Walmart for affordable groceries and several beach accesses.) Sometimes the studio was not very toddler friendly- but that is a reflection of our wildling NOT ANGELA! We would easily come again just 2 of us.

What a wonderful place to relax and to enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer!

We had a perfect stay — the place was super comfortable and felt just like home. It was clean, cozy, and even had beach gear, which was really handy. There was a great snorkeling spot nearby, and lots of shops and restaurants close, so everything was super convenient. We’d love to come back someday!

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.

We had a great day at Kristen and Dan’s spot. I highly recommend. Walkable to lots of local spots. Perfect home base for lots of Hawaii adventures. Very comfortable and nice to return to AC after a long day in the sun.

If you are looking for a great place to stay during your trip to Kona this is the place. The condo is newly remodeled and looks amazing. The biggest point is the beautiful view from the lanai with comfortable seating to read and watch the ocean. You can see turtles and watch local surfers catch waves from the lanai.

Nice clean apartment, great location, well equipped, nice pool area and Gabriel on hand to help with any queries.

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!

Had a great stay, clean and great location.

We had the most magical week at Maryanne's home, would 100% recommend - we'll be back! The condo is even better than photos, it's spacious, well furnished and equipped, cozy and has the most amazing view. This has to be one of the best spots on Ali'i drive because you have an unobstructed view of the ocean and you can walk across the street for tacos (every day), and fruit/flower/fresh baked goods on Fri/Sat/Sun -- and a few minutes down the road is Da Poke Shack... so good! It's really easy to jump in the car and head down to Magic Sands for some boogie boarding, our favorite morning activity. We came with our baby and 8 year old and the condo was perfect for our family of four. Although shades are not technically black out, they keep the rooms very dark and we rarely noticed any street noise. Loved the pool and we used the pool table a lot as well. Maryanne has a stocked closet full of beach goodies (snorkels, boogies, etc) as well as tons of beach towels. Overall, amazing!

I was impressed - by the cleanliness, the surroundings (the grounds are beautiful), the quiet / serinity, the thoroughly stocked: 1) food and cooking needs (oils, spices, rice, popcorn, dishes, pots, pans, storage containers, etc), 2) beach closet (beach towels, masks and snorkels, umbrellas, chairs,etc.), 3) bathroom (even emergency supplies), 4) laundry soap. Eric has thought of everything!

Melemalie is a great host, she’s so helpful and clear on instructions. The place is really clean and beautiful. Totally recommend it to everyone.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The place was extremely accommodating with more amenities than we could use. The ocean was steps away with great tide pools for exploring. If you’re a surfer, there is a great wave directly outside. Rudy was fantastic. She even gave us an extra late check out because our flight was later in the afternoon. If I’m ever back in Kona, I will be staying here.

This is such a great location, everything was in walking distance for us. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We liked the back lanai and sat and drank our coffee every morning. There’s a great smell of flowers. The lanai is also right next to the pool so easy to get to the bathroom. You can’t have alcohol in the pool area but this is close enough that you can enjoy a nice mai tai from the lanai. Great host and location. Would book again.

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.

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!

Joy is a marvelous Airbnb hostess: informative, responsive, and thorough. Her unit is a gem: immaculate, well stocked and in a great location for exploring the Kona side of Hawaii and watching gorgeous daily sunsets. A special note about how the unit is stocked…all shelves are labeled for the items they hold and the unit holds everything you can need for a fun and relaxing vacation. Coffee and supplies, small appliances, a cooler for trips, Q-tips, laundry detergent and stain remover, all there and available for use! If you want a cozy rental in the Kona area, make this unit your first choice, unless, of course, we are already renting it. We would go back in a Kona minute.

Super close to the beautiful magic sands beach and only 10 minutes away from manta ray snorkeling which was an amazing experience!!! Nice central spot for all the stops we had planned across the island. Howard was so friendly!

From start to finish, Rex was a communicative, responsive, friendly host. Their condo is spectacular! All the modern amenities, peaceful, and right on the water, with an incredible wrap around lanai, to enjoy breakfast on, and spectacular sunsets. I'd book this gorgeous place in a heartbeat! We had our anniversary here...so perfect! Thanks Rex, for the lovely stay!

We arrived late, but Linda kindly waited to welcome my daughter and me to her very comfortable studio. The studio has everything you need for a stay of several days—or even weeks—surrounded by nature, with the sounds of coqui frogs and roosters that are part of the authentic Hawaiian experience. Linda was always available for any questions or requests, while remaining discreet. A short drive brings you to some of the best spots on this amazing island!

We wish we could give this place more than 5 stars because it was beyond what we imagined. We stayed as a family of four and it was the perfect place to be for a nice five days of vacation. There were two bathrooms and two showers as well as two private bedrooms. There is everything you need for comfort, extra blankets and towels to use. On top of that, the washer and dryer in unit was a gem.The kitchen is so well equipped that we cooked without trouble and ate at the dining table with an amazing view of the sea. The water is literally right outside the lanai with nothing blocking your view. We spent most of our time in the living room because of the beautiful ocean view. The location is great with downtown Kona as a 5-10 min drive or a nice stroll. Marta was also so responsive and kind, and had everything organized and instructions detailed down. We would stay here again if we ever visit Big Island again!
