Kona Resort CW Sleeps 6
Awesome place and location. Joy was very helpful and quick to respond

Hale Iki in Kona
Beautiful home in a beautiful location. We very much enjoyed our visit. Thank you

Quiet Paradise on Bay w/Aircon
This house was in a beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds. it was very well maintained and comfortable. The house has lots of basics in the pantry and condiments. We loved watching sunset from the lanai through the trees or walking 50 ft to the Pier for a Bayside view (with dolphins often making an appearance). Excellent snorkeling at nearby Manini Beach Park (some of us jumped in at the Pier, too) and by kayak at the Cook Monument across the Bay, or at 2-Step, a 5 minute drive down the road. The AC was good but not usually necessary with great ventilation and fans. The bugs are definitely hoping for snacks, so vigilance to keep a tidy house is crucial (but this is to be expected and wasn't a problem). Dawn was very responsive to a few small problems, and when we couldn't get the dryer to work she had a neighbor offer his so we could finish in time to check out (the dryer was a smart dryer and it out smarted us). We really appreciated how Dawn responded so quickly and helpfully!

Kona Mansions#301 Top Floor, Corner Unit w/Ocean v
We enjoyed our stay. Close to downtown. Would rent again.

Tropical Oasis Home with Pool and Steps to Beach
We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Steps to Beaches, 2 King Suites, Private Pool, AC
We had an absolutely fabulous time in Kona, and Zhe & Sijie’s place was a huge part of it. It made for an amazing home away from home for our two-week stay. The home was exactly as described and as it appeared in the photos - if anything, it was even more perfect in person. Plenty of living space, the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch at the house each day, and the three bedrooms and bathrooms were a perfect fit for my husband and me, our son and my dad. The elevated deck was perfect for reading in the sun or watching the sunset and then watching the stars come out. The pool is small, but a nice place to relax between activities or at the end of a busy day. The house is also in a very nice neighborhood, very secure and close to a grocery store and quite a few restaurants. Zhe and Sijie were fantastic hosts, super quick to reply to any questions we had, and proactively communicating info about check in and check out. 10/10, highly recommend!!

Oceanfront Home, Kealakekua Bay - Hale Hoʻolana
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.

Kona Surf Snorkel Paradise, Beachfront, Hot Tub
This home is in a paradise location. We snorkeled everyday at Kahalu’u Beach Park across the road (we rented gear at Snorkel Bobs down the street.) The out side space/lanai and full sliding doors in the living room were wonderful to enjoy the ocean view. Sleeping space with our group was tricky. The house sleeps 4 couples. We 3 couples and had 3 grown boys. 1 got the extra queen bed. Additional sleeping space (trundle and roll away) was tricky and not comfortable for adult sizes. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The bbq was great to have and clean. There were e-bikes close by. Grocery, shops and many restaurants and beaches within a few minutes.

Exceptional Oceanview Home - Pool & Stunning View
Had an amazing stay at Lee and Courtney's place. The house was incredible and had everything that my family of five needed (to even include tons of beach/snorkeling gear and beach towels). The house is very convenient to many great beaches and activities on the Kona side of the island. We really enjoyed the lanai and all the amazing outdoor space to include the pool and hot tub. We would definitely stay at this house again if we come back to the Big Island.

Big House with ocean view and private pool in Kona
Chelsea was out of town yet was immediately responsive to messages dealing with a couple of minor glitches; it helped that the owner lives nearby. Place overall was great. Lack of air conditioning (it was not hot, but the upstairs did warm up in the April afternoons) was offset by the private pool, a better way to cool off than by refrigerating the house. Nice layout for two couples, one upstairs with the larger bedroom and large en suite bath, the other downstairs with two smaller bedrooms and a bath, so we each had good private space. Only drawback was the downstairs rooms seemed a bit enclosed, although all had windows. Nice large lanai and the landscaping around the pool made it feel especially private. Be sure to investigate the pantry and shelves before shopping...the place was very well supplied when we arrived. We would definitely stay again if we're in Kona!

Kona Dreams: 3BR Oceanview Home w/ Private Pool
We had an absolute blast staying at this place! The house is very spacious, located in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood a few minutes drive from everything around Kona, including supermarkets, wonderful beaches and the airport. The pool with ocean views was just fantastic to enjoy at any time of the day. We enjoyed many lunches, dinners and coffees on the covered lanai. All rooms fully functional including a great air conditioning system, ample parking just in front of the house. This is a gem to create fabulous memories during your stay in Kona - warmly recommend!

Island Time-Luxury Golf Front Home with Pool/Spa
The place was beautiful and well-appointed. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Jodi was an incredible host. We had a wonderful vacation and would love to come back!

New, Stunning, 3 Bedroom Condo; A/C/Pools/ Hottub
Wow, just WOW. This should be at the tops of ANY list! Truly the most enjoyable experience we’ve ever had. These superstar hosts have thought of literally EVERYTHING. Every kitchen appliance, cookware, extra linens, cleaning supplies, working vacuum, pristine bathrooms, ALL the goodies for the beach - 4 new snorkel sets, chairs, carry-all bins (!!!!) for your car, towels, boards, umbrella, pickleball sets, 3 different coolers/go-bags…the list goes on. The home Is immaculate, tastefully (and functionally!) appointed, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a single flaw. Their ‘blueprint’ should be the new standard for vacation rentals! The community was quaint and perfect, nestled right above a beautiful bay, and complete with all you need in multiple pools, outdoor cook areas, etc. I traveled with my two kids and my cousins’ family - 3 adults and 4 kids in all. The 3 bedrooms AND 2 bonus beds in the living room were all very comfortable. I can’t say enough about these hosts!!

HAVEN: Poolside Sanctuary with Heavenly Views
Super peaceful and relaxing! With one of the best views I’ve seen in a long time . Extremely friendly neighborhood. Felt right at home

Walua Oasis 2/2 Private Pool
Our group absolutely loved our stay. The host was extremely responsive and the pictures don't even do the place justice. We loved the view and relaxing by the pool until it was time to hit the beach. The location is ideal; it is not too far from Kona (8 minute drive) but you feel like you're in a jungle oasis.

Tropical paradise, heated pool, ocean views, AC
I recently stayed at Justin’s Airbnb in Kona, and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, Justin was incredibly welcoming, offering great recommendations for local activities and making sure we had everything we needed. The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a perfect island retreat. One of the highlights was the pool – it was pristine and provided the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the island. The outdoor area was fantastic, with plenty of seating, and we enjoyed several evenings watching the sunset from the lanai. The location in Kona was ideal, with easy access to beaches, dining, and shopping, yet the house felt like a private oasis. We felt truly at home during our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I highly recommend Justin’s place for anyone looking to experience the best of Kona in comfort and style!

Brand New Private Home at Waikoloa Beach Resort
The house is amazing and was extremely clean. We appreciated Alan's instructions and notebook. He covered everything so we didn't have to contact him after we arrived. It was very peaceful and a perfect location for our stay on the Big Island. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us, Alan!

Oceanfront Puako Paradise - Welcome to Honu Kai
Annie's place is paradise! We loved sitting on the sea wall to watch the sunset, hoping in the water multiple times a day, and waking to the sounds of the surf and the breeze in the palms. The home is perfect for a quiet family get away on the beach!

Amazing Place to Stay on Keauhou Bay! Pool/AC!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Nikki’s place! Her home has everything you can think of to enjoy your vacation in Kona!

Golf Villas Mauna Lani
We had a great stay in Hawaii. The condo was clean and well stocked. We had a few minor issues during our stay but Kristina was extremely responsive and resolved our issues. The property is so beautiful and quiet - very family friendly. It was super nice to have the wagon, boogie boards and cooler during our stay. The back patio was delightful. Would definitely recommend.

Oceanfront Kona Beach House
From the moment we arrived, this stunning beachfront house in Hawaii felt like a dream come true. Tucked away on a pristine stretch of ocean, the property offers the perfect balance of comfort and that laid-back island magic. Waking up each morning to the sound of waves was a highlight in itself. The views are simply unreal – endless ocean and vibrant sunsets. Whether you're lounging on the beach chairs, snorkeling at a nearby beach, or watching the stars from the hot tub, every moment feels like a postcard. The house is spacious, airy, and filled with natural light. I really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen with spices and basic cooking necessities. Peng also has a supply of beach supplies including snorkel masks, coolers, beach chairs, umbrella, etc which came in so handy. Such a magical place I hope to come back to someday!

Big Island Koi Hale
WOW WOW WOW!!! 11/10! We stayed at Barb’s oasis for a week (5 of us) and it was absolutely perfect. The house itself is amazing - very beautiful and spacious. We spent every morning and evening relaxing by the koi pond. The location of the house is perfect - access to wherever you need to go but not right in the middle of everything. The snorkeling at the bay right there is unmatched! Barb was amazing with communication and recommendations! Would absolutely, 100% stay here again! Mahalo, Barb!🌺

Alii drive ocean house, walk to MAGIC SAND BEACH
We loved it there, super nice hosts! Beautiful views of the ocean right from the patio. Great place to walk down Ali'i drive, and magic sands was super close.

Mermaid Manor - Oceanfront - Kona, Hawaii
This was definitely the nicest place I've stayed in. I have stayed in a lot of vacation homes, but none with the awesome ocean views this one has. The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It had a luxurious feel. I highly recommend this place, and we will be back again in the future.
