Windspirit Cottage TA tax #137089228801
Cozy spot with a beautiful yard. Loved sitting on the porch and playing with the dog. Too comfortable beds. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Highly recommended.

*Sunrise Studio* Scenic+quiet!
Sharon and Mark were so sweet! We got a little tour and lots of great conversation with them! It was cozy and a beautiful location.

Holualoa Ekahi -Country guest house,Taxes included
We love this area. We stayed for several weeks and loved it. The bed is super comfy and the elevation is perfect - no AC needed but still just 15 minutes to most things. loved it!

Charming, Secluded Studio, Centrally Located
Comfortable accommodations don't begin to describe this beautiful, tranquil spot with tall ceilings and breezy atmosphere. Awesome place to relax on an island with so much to do. Host is great - responsive and provides first class recommendations!

Kealakekua Bay Bali Cottage -steps from Bay
Stepping out of my car, I was greeted by Karen and we walked through the magical lights towards my place for the night. There was a little “welcome Annie” sign at the door. Karen then walked me down to the beach to see where I could snorkel in the morning. This museum like home is full of LOVE. Art, Elephants, surf boards, even a buddha gong. Unfortunately for me, it was also full of little spider roommates that hung high above the bathroom and bedroom. The occasional spider is okay, but to have that many eyes on me was unnerving. I couldn’t stay a second night. I know, I know….I have an unnatural fear. I didn’t see any other friends. I would stay here again if I was with someone else. The bed was super comfy…. and the shower was heavenly. That was the best part for me! The fridge and stove were dirty so I opted out of eating there. ‘The Coffee Shack’, is a very delicious restaurant with an amazing view!! Call ahead to get on the waitlist.

Garden Cottage Ohana
FABULOUS!! This was the most perfect landing spot for my vacation to Kona. This cottage is about 30 mins up the mountain from Kona. There’s breeze, ocean views and the jungle sounds at night at absolutely magical! The house is private, clean and spacious with plenty of outdoor space. We would stay here again in an instant!

The Ohana at Volcanoes National Park
We had a wonderful stay at Dave and Sue’s place! They provided lots of helpful travel information before our arrival, which made it easy for us to plan ahead. The home is clean, cozy, and fully equipped with everything you might need. The location is perfect—just a 5-minute drive to Volcanoes National Park. We were incredibly lucky to catch an eruption during our visit, which made the experience even more unforgettable. Highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting the area!

Koki Kottage. Central location for east Hawaii
If you are looking for a beautiful peaceful taste of Hawaiian paradise, this is the place. Day and night you enjoy creation like never before. We highly recommend this place and look forward to stay there again. Ken and Lori are very nice people, hospitable and very attentive to your needs.

Jungle Living At An Oceanside Fruit Farm
Robin was a great host. She was responsive and accommodating and the jungalow was beautiful. If you’re looking for a great place to reconnect with nature, it’s the perfect place.

Charming Kona Studio ❤ Views | Lanai
We had a fantastic stay. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. The place was very clean and has everything you need. It has a very beautiful view of the city as well as the water. There are beautiful beaches within driving distance. It was located 20 min from the airport. It is also only 5-10 min drive from very good cafes and restaurants as well as shops (local as well as retail such as Walmart, Safeway, target, Costco). We will definitely be keeping this place in mind whenever we return to this beautiful island!!! 🏝️😄

Hale Hapu’u - Tropical Tiki Paradise for Couples.
Very nice and thoughtfully supplied Airbnb with beautiful landscaping. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying the scenery. Host was kind and very responsive.

Beach Road Hale
Loved Jordan’s place. Close walk to cliffs and a hike. Short drive into Hilo, but so nice to have space and the peace and quiet of the area.

Honu Suite - 5 Star Quality, Competitively Priced!
I have long fluctuated between 4 and 5 stars. 5 stars for the impeccable and perfect accommodation. Absolutely clean, superbly equipped and everything as written. 4 stars mentally, because someone (maybe the landlord?) lived privately under our apartment (because a few meters further he apparently builds another house on the property) and we had some noise problems on 2 days - but not from the construction work. Every morning from 6:30, 7:00 the first loud conversations and from 8:00, 8:30 then also partly loud music. Once I even woke up in the evening - it was as if my son was having a party next door. Thus, very noisy, we could understand every word. But since the overall impression and also the super contact of Brandee outweigh positive for me, it deserved 5 stars. Mahalo!

Amazing Kona Coast Ocean View-King Bed
Amanda was very friendly and welcoming. i would recommend this humble aboad to anyone and everyone. what a spectacular view! We felt very invited and it was warm heartfelt retreat. close to the airport and lots of amenities! Would definitely stay again. Mahalo

Adventure to Shipman Beach Trail - Modern Bungalow
This was a wonderful place to stay. Super charming and very comfortable. Madeleine was great and very responsive. I would definitely stay there again if i was on that side of the island again!

Mango Hale Cottage
Our stay at the cottage was fantastic. The street is peaceful and beautiful. The home is surrounded by mango trees and wildlife; in the morning you can hear the birds singing all around and in the outdoor shower area you might see a little gecko friend!

AC | 1 Gig | BBQ | Kitchen | Workspace | Hammock
Very quiet area, beautiful neighborhood, nice, secluded backyard with tropical plants and flowers. Short drive from everything. Will come again in a heartbeat. The unit is very well equipped for all kinds of cooking. Very responsive host, when the battery in the door lock started running low, has arranged for a replacement in just a few hours. Was flexible with the check in schedule. In short, the way Airbnb accommodation should be!

Small Private Studio Close to Airport
Great location, close to town and the highway when getting around the Kona side of the island. The space is small, but everything Hannah stocked was useful items for the trip including beach chairs, a fridge, coffee maker, all the things you would want! The space is quiet and the AC was awesome for sleeping. Would absolutley stay here again.

NEW 2 bedroom hosted Tranquil Island Getaway
All of us enjoyed our stay at Debbie’s place. It was the perfect size for 5 of us; and that extra 1/2 bath was truly great to have! We really enjoyed eating the eggs from Debbie’s chickens that she left for us. We ate them scrambled and soft boiled and all were so delicious!! We picked fruits and flowers from their huge yard and we made friends with their dogs, birds and cows. We wanted to take a picture at the house with our Broken Dog Ranch shirts, but I felt bad that we were already late checking out. So we got together on Oahu for our photo shoot! 😁 This was my 2nd time staying at Debbie’s beautiful hale and I would definitely stay there again! Mahalo nui loa for your warm hospitality, Debbie! A hui ho! Joan I.

Holualoa Country Home
A quiet, cool spot to get away from the crowds and beach area. We enjoyed the temp drop when you climb in elevation to the house. The area seemed very safe and I never worried about theft or trouble. Nice area with nice people around the house. You will be about 20 minutes from Costco and are at a central starting point to go north or south. We didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house other than to sleep and be out enjoying the Big Island.

“Special Rate” Private, Waimea Ohana (Guest House)
Loved this stay. Convenient, modern house with clean and quiet location. We loved being able to walk to coffee and Merriman’s for dinner. The location is a short drive (15-20 mins) from beaches too. I would highly recommend it!

HALE PAMA - CENTRALLY LOCATED - AFFORDABLE LUXURY
Charles and Kathy are wonderful hosts. Great location for excursions. Easy in and out to road system. Highly recommend, and would definitely stay there again.

Chateau Kilauea @Lazy Acres.
If you are planning on spending time at Volcano National Park - stay here! Lily and Brian were helpful and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Hospitality was top notch. We enjoyed the indoor-outdoor lifestyle so much! Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was set up to cook really anything you could want. We spent the mornings before our hikes in the infrared sauna and outdoor shower. Followed by espresso on the deck. We got sweet hellos any goodbyes from the well-behaved family dogs. Lazy Acres is a truly special place. We cannot wait to return! So much more I could say but just trust you will love this place. Experience it for yourself!!
