House vacation rentals in North Kona

We have stayed here before. The host is very responsive whenever I reach out. The place is in a nice neighborhood. Safe to go for a walk or a run. Beds are comfortable and has all necessities. Most likely will be back in town for work in the future and will be staying here if available.

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!

This was the best first Airbnb experience. We were celebrating our 10-year anniversary with our 3 young kids. This home was just beautiful. The photos do not do enough justice. The home was super spacious and TV in both rooms. Our 5yr old enjoyed the jacuzzi because it was shallow and warm. The pool was huge with a diving board. It was nice having the outdoor kitchen and grill. We were able to prepare our food while also watching the kids swim. We enjoyed her papayas, avocados, and mango. Ms. Sandra shared with us her organic eggs from her chickens, Kale, beets, basil, and lettuce from her garden. Every morning when I woke up, I couldn't wait to open the curtains and windows to see the view and hear the birds. I could go on and on about this place. Thank you Ms. Sandra. It was such a pleasure meeting you and spending time in you beautiful home🙏

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.

Marylin, Steve and Craig were wonderful hosts. As soon as we came onto the property we felt right at home and part of the family. We were greeted with fresh fruit from the beautiful garden and fresh baked banana bread. You are surrounded by a lush tropical garden and many floral bouquets are throughout the tiny home. Craig made us the best coffee and provided us with some local Ube baked goods. Our favorite part of the property was going to sleep with the sound of croaking frogs. This place is truly a little slice of heaven! Hopefully we can come again! ❤️

This place was exactly what we were looking for, a private place with a pool. It was a great base for our vacation where we could come back after a day of being out and about. We could also just BBQ and relax in the pool. They had beach gear for use, which was very convenient. overall we had a good time.

Naomi’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and spacious. The lanai is an exotic and fun feature and the house is full of character. Tropical frogs serenade at night time while the morning starts with beautiful bird song and a view of the ocean. Meanwhile, beaches, restaurants, and shops are only a 5-10 minute drive away. When you stay in the house though, you feel as though you have escaped the hustle and bustle of day to day life. I stayed here with my wife, two young children, and in-laws. It was a fantastic time and I will always remember it!

We had an amazing stay here and would definitely come back. It's a beautiful home with lots of amenities. I already miss it!

Lovely location, thoughtful amenities and a wonderful Lanai, (porch) where we were able to sit and have breakfast or best, view the sunsets every night.

The most well stocked home I have ever rented. From everything you need in a kitchen, to spices and condiments, a closet full of sunscreen, first aid items, etc. Most importantly, everything this family of four needed to spend the day at the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel kits, etc. House is just as described and close to everything in Kona. House was spotless upon arrival and had great decorative touches. Sheri and Gary are lovely hosts. Very responsive and welcoming. Thank you both for providing a home away from home for our family getaway! Mahalo!

We so enjoyed our jungle stay! The place was easy to find, and just as secluded as the photos make it look. I will say, the upstairs wasn’t rented while we were there, so of course it would have felt a lot less private had there been other people staying. The place was amazingly clean and surprisingly cozy for a garage. Loved having the grill, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, scooters, etc.

We found ourselves in need of last-minute accomodations in the Kona area, and Melissa's place exactly fit out needs! The location is great -- convenient to the airport and a few different beaches, and a bit closer to Mauna Kea than other areas on the Kona side. The space was more than spacious for two, and having the scuba equipment and beach towels was a huge bonus. Especially appreciative that our early check-in request on was accommodated. Would definitely recommend!

The home was clean and very inviting. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. The hosts were welcoming and available to answer questions but not intrusive. We didn't spend much time in the house except eating and sleeping - but it was nice to have a beautiful home away from home. Very lovely stay. Jack and Jackie, Lee and Christi

The Airbnb was a great place to relax and get some peace and quiet for our vacation. It was conveniently located within walking distance of the local farmers’ markets and a short drive from many great restaurants. I appreciate the host’s clear instructions and images to ensure a smooth check in, check out, and stay. I would definitely stay here again if I get the chance!

Loved our stay! Walkable to town, gorgeous grounds, functional kitchen, friendly and helpful staff and large lanai for eating outdoors. The only issue we had was the internet kept going out (three times during our stay). The internet service provider for the resort is an external 3rd party so this isn’t something the property had control over. Each time we had to call the isp to have the internet restored, which they did.

Wonderful place for our several days there. Fantastic view and very spacious. Several restaurants were in town. Waimea had few tourists but still was close to several small out-of-the-way towns we otherwise would not have thought of to visit.

This oasis made for the perfect getaway. With lush vegetation and sweeping ocean views, it was so peaceful to sit on the deck or at the dining room table and just enjoy the scenery after a long day of adventuring. Roaming chickens, cats and song birds frequented the property and chirping frogs made us feel like we were in a rainforest (closing the windows at night helped keep the chirping sound at a tolerable level for the lighter sleepers). Tons of beach gear was available for us to borrow - beach towels, chairs, boogie boards! Large kitchen was well stocked with the essentials.

Wonderful place to stay! Very clean, comfortable beds, amazing view of the ocean. Centrally located and only 9 mins from the airport!

This place is so wonderful! Peaceful neighborhood with lots in walking distance! Pools and hot tubs were great for us on cloudy days, and being walking distance to restaurants and snorkel spots, it was exactly what our family needed! The beds were comfortable (though I wish they had cotton sheets bc it gets a bit warm at night!), the backyard was great for kids, the garage is stocked with everything you could imagine needing for a beach/snorkel day. Jeff and Suzanne really thought of everything here, and it shows! And they happily accommodated our request to have no fragrance cleaning products, which, for a family with allergies, this was super important to us. We would book this again! We did have a few issues with the cleanliness of the dishwasher and washing machine, but they were so quick to address it and make efforts to make things right. This place is worth every penny and made our time in Hawaii really nice.

This was our second time staying here and it was even better than the first time. Clean, comfortable and peaceful. Enjoyed coming back after a busy day in town. James was very responsive to questions and we enjoyed talking with him. Definitely recommend for a family.

Guy was a marvelous host. Friendly and welcoming. The house is beautifully situated in on a gorgeous hillside with an ocean view and screened porch perfect for lounging. The house is well appointed, airy and comfortable. The kitchen is nice and well-appointed. The area is quiet and peaceful, nicely situated to explore the south of the the island while only 45 mins from Kona. We had a great stay and would highly recommend it.

This airbnb was fabtastic. The home felt breezy and was very clean. There were 5 of us and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The home was fully stocked with anything we needed to cook and plenty of beach towels. The home is nearby plenty of sites and restaraunts but far enough away that it felt peaceful. Charles is a wondeful and responsive host!

We had a spectacular stay. The home is located near the best beaches on the big island as well as resorts if you want to grab a day pass. It’s located equally between Kona and Hilo with easy access to the north of the island. The home is stocked with everything you would need for an island vacation, with access to grocery stores and restaurants within five minutes. The longest trip was to the volcano, but we did it easily in a day trip. Jeff was very responsive and his listing is full of recommendations. I truly cannot recommend this home enough. If I could build a replica where I live, I would. It’s truly an oasis. My kids and I absolutely loved it. Jeff really thought of everything in the home that you would need. As a bonus, the internet was perfect for movies after a long day of adventures. There’s a beautiful sunset view from the deck and master, as well as a water fountain that is the best way to start and end the day. 100/10 stay!

Loved the lanai for gorgeous sunsets!
