Vacation rentals with breakfast in South Kona

I stayed at Julia’s beautiful apartment for three nights. I can honestly say that I have never stayed at a better airbnb. She was the most friendly, helpful and nice host you can imagine. And the location is just incredible, in the middle of her self managed beautiful garden/rainforest. The room is very clean, cozy and everything was just as you’d need it. She and her friend even took me on a morning hike in volcanoes NP and showed me the nature, lava formations and told stories from their time living in the area. I’ve enjoyed the stay at this beautiful Airbnb in the middle of the rainforest and if I ever come back I will definitely stay there again! All the best to Julia and her family!

The accommodations are simple. The bed was very comfortable with AC in that room. The unit was clean and simple but reasonable for the location - very close to kayaking and snorkeling. There were plenty of towels, hot water, easy cooking facilities, private quiet and safe. If you want upscale fancy - go to a hotel. If you want some space to spread out for a reasonable price by the beach this unit wins my vote! Loved our stay and we will return.

Great stay. The views were gorgeous, deck patio was huge. You could hear the wildlife at nighttime. Jason was super communicative. All around 5 stars!

We have stayed on the property many times, and the description and location of this unit is really ideal.

Out of the beaten paths yet conveniently close to Kea'au, Pahoa and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, this beautiful house is located in a quiet and lush environment. Riaan and Lisa are very kind and helpful hosts and make you feel at home.

This was a lovely setting with great accommodations. The pool was very clean. The house space was spacious. The kitchen was very well appointed with all the utensils and cookware one could hope for. We were very comfortable and would highly recommend it to others.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home very much. Plenty of room for our family of 5, and the kitchen was fairly well appointed for cooking in. There were also many extras that we appreciated as well, such as flashlights (the property is remote, so very dark outside at night), laundry detergent, books and games. etc. One thing to note is that there was a slight musty smell; I suspect due to the wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedrooms and the tropical climate. This did not bother half of us, but the other half of us who are more sensitive to smells were a little bothered. I think a change of flooring would be a good idea (not an easy fix, I know).

This was my families second time here and it was better then the first. The first time was awesome but due to the upgrades and extra amenities it made the stay even better. Truly recommend and will for sure be back. Aloha

If you want a quiet place to stay this is a good choice! Away from the crowds but easily accessible to attractions. The property is stunning with beautiful flowers and birds and incredible views.

The house in the clouds is so cozy and serene! We were greeted by the very friendly black cat Squeakers! It’s perfect for a night to stay at before hiking at Volcano National Park the next morning. Kristin is so friendly and responsive. It was so thoughtful of her to provide breakfast. Overall highly recommend!

Incredible little hidden gem. Close to coffee farms, local vibes, snorkeling, etc. peaceful and private. There is a lattice partition between the two garden suite lanai’s - had wonderful chats with the lovely folks staying in the next suite but still the apartment felt very secluded. Viviane is a generous and gracious host. Mahalo, Viviane!

They were very helpful and kind from the moment I booked and the place was sweet! Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! The place was clean, with a comfortable bed, and a pleasant breeze! There was parking on the premises and convenient amenities. Definitely recommend having a car on the big Island, especially if booking this place as you would need to drive to see the best sights (~2h to Kona at the opposite end of the island). Very cute coffee shops and farmer’s market available nearby though! Mahalo🌺

Large enough for group stays of 4 people. Great restaurant right next door. Nice kitchen and bathroom. Very comfy!!

This beautiful apartment is located on the hills south of Kailua-Kona, an area which feels more genuine and offers fantastic elevated views of the coast. It is close to some of the best snorkeling spots of the island, and there are lots of Kona coffee farms and interesting places along the way. Regina is the best host one can hope for, naturally very caring, and gives more space to the guests than to herself. She provides fruits, bagels, and treats, on top of being just a very nice person to chat and live with. Riley is the sweetest dog on the planet and a real highlight of the stay. The sunset from the balcony is to die for. There isn't any other place on Big Island we would like to stay.

Maxx was very accommodating to us as there was hiccup in renting out the Escape to Mauna Loa Village and gave us another space to spend the rest of our trip. It was very clean, easily accessible, and a perfect location for exploring Kona. I would definitely love to book with Maxx again in the future!

Lovely staycation :-)

Sarah’s place was such an incredible spot, surrounded by natural beauty and a warm, spacious, clean and wonderful room. Sara was super friendly and helpful - we felt right at home. Would 100% go back again!

Exceptional Hospitality! This stay was absolutely wonderful thanks to CC . From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond to make me feel at home. She was always responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about my comfort. The place itself was clean and cozy, but it’s the host’s warmth that made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend – I'd love to stay again!

This was a wonderful place to stay! Kurt and Kana were such gracious hosts. We loved the yummy breakfasts, comfortable bed, and beautiful sunset views. We’d love to come back for a visit someday.

Ryan’s sanctuary is a stunning property nested away filled with fruit trees, animals and meditation areas. He thrives at growing a local community focused on self-sustainability and ecological wisdom. He is kind and everyone on the property was superb. Highly recommend this spot for any visitors looking to enjoy some time in bliss!

Very relaxed and easy place to stay. It’s right near the best surf beach in Hilo so if you are into surfing it would be the perfect place to stay. Not far from the main town. Steph was very nice and easy to communicate.

Quaint and super peaceful place! Exactly as listed, the surroundings were absolutely lovely, birds chirping, and frogs at night. Screened room was so nice to sit in and enjoy nature, as well as outdoor lanai. The breakfast was lovely- things put in the fridge to eat as you like, facilities to prepare the food in the outdoor shared kitchen. Easy check in and parking was fine. Would definitely stay here again!

Meeting Akiko-san has become one of the precious treasures in my life. Her heart is as warm, strong, and gentle as the Big Island itself. I was worried about what would happen during my stay at the Banana Cottage, which was... in the forest. ... and then a miracle happened. I found peace of mind among the sounds of frogs, birds, and wind at night. I was able to spend a mystical time without worries. Thanks to the yoga, meditation classes, and walking to the beach that Akiko-san offered, which helped me to center myself. Her encouragement and sharing of wisdom have really helped me realize who I really am. My utmost gratitude for allowing me to have a wonderful time with Akiko-san, as I almost forgot the day I was going to leave! -Gasshō
