House vacation rentals in South Kona

The house is very secluded and well kept, love the walks and trails around. Jade is very responsive to our questions and request, would totally recommend!

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.

Lovely little cottage in the rainforest! Jacklynn was always around if anything was needed, and always gave suggestions for local adventures. Highly recommend!

We went for a family vacation and fit everyone’s needs. Great for kids,grandparents and everyone in between. It was a wonderful place to be when we weren’t adventuring on island. Such a spectacular backyard to hangout in, patio for meals and kitchen for cooking. Everyone had their space! Andy and Bryn were quick with any questions we had. We look forward to booking again!

Wow! Such an amazing view and peaceful home. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again on future trip to the Big Island.

We loved our stay at Mary’s place! Although it was a little more remote than expected, we appreciated the access to the different beautiful beaches in the neighborhood. The snorkeling at Manini Beach was spectacular! Because we had our 8 month old granddaughter with us, we also spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool. The “glamping” aspect of our stay was fun and we enjoyed the sounds of nature, particularly our rooster alarm at the crack of dawn which certainly helped us get our days started. We would highly recommend Mary’s place and wouldn’t hesitate staying again when on the island.

Great place to stay! Spotless clean, great location on the south of the island. The house feels new, as mentioned in the description! Great local places to visit nearby, which you can find in the host’s guidebook. Close to Volcanoes National Park, Black and Green Sands beaches. Peaceful and relaxing, but not too remote to miss any activities. Highly recommend!

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.

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 home was beautiful and had plenty of space for my family of four. The AC was a huge plus. And the nature sounds were unbeatable! We walked to downtown Hilo lots and had good food nearby. Would definitely come back on our next stay in Hilo! Loved the local feel of this side of the island.

This place is amazing. Beautiful views and landscape. The house was exactly as shown/described and had everything we needed including kitchen ware and items to use at the beach. Loved that there was a black sand beach that was a 15 min drive and the closest town was 15 min away as well. Host was quick to respond for any questions. Would highly recommend staying here.

We came to Big Island to enjoy calm and recharge. Eliot's place offers just like that as his house is spacious and plenty of space between properties with peaceful surroundings. because the home sits in a large ground in suburb of Hilo. Downtown Pahoa is close so you can dine out and get shopping done easily if you want. Eliot is kind and smart owner to take care of home and our needs. He was always responsive and come back with a solution for our questions.

Really enjoyed our stay at Ashley’s place! Very central location yet very peaceful and full of beautiful nature. Every activity we booked was 10-15 mins away from the home. It was only four of us so we had more than enough space in this home. Definitely a great home for a big group!

Suzy was very helpful and responded quickly. Her house was clean, organized and very homey. It was also very helpful to have a washer and dryer for our stay.

Great fit for our laid back group, a serene slice of heaven in Puna Palisades neighborhood. Karan communicated routinely with helpful information for outside visitors. Renters should be aware that check in process is different than AirBnB messages -- there is no code emailed, rather check in direct with owners. All good :-)

We loved our stay at Scott’s house. We were 4 adults + 2 kids and had plenty of space ! Sean, the on site manager, was helpful and easy to reach. The location is close to the airport and Harbour. A little bit further from the city. Parking was easy in the street just in front of the house. I would definitely consider going back if I have another opportunity to go to Hawaii.

We loved the property. We definitely appreciated all the switches being labeled and the property was beautiful. The pool was clean and a lot of fun, and there were plenty of dishes, etc. in the kitchen to satisfy multiple meals with 7 guests.

Everything exceeded our expectations! Booking, checking in and checking out was so easy and simple! The house is gorgeous, big, spacious and so cozy and prepped with all that you could need! A break from the hustle and bustle of O’ahu was exactly what we needed. My family sure enjoyed the house to the fullest! My kids used the party lights every night, the girls got to enjoy the backyard, everyone exercised in the gym, the neighborhood was perfect for a brisk family walk and the 6 of us had so much room to occupy! The big kitchen was wonderful for our lovely family meals and the kids even had lots of space to build a big, cute fort by the front door! The luxury bathroom was fantastic and being able to use the laundry room was just great! Mahalo nui loa again Tony! Stellar job with this airbnb and we hope to come back again soon!

we spent a week in Matthew's place and would be happy to come back on a future trip. The house is large and full of good stuff - games, kitchen stuff, and more. The immediate surroundings are beautiful as is the view from the porch. Matthew is extremelya helpful and thoughtful. He really cared that we will enjoy our stay. Indeed a five star host. Ocean view is about 90 mins from Kona airport. I suggest not arriving at dark the first time - the area is dark and following the maps app we entered one driveway too early - backing up at darkness was scary. Make sure to follow Matthew's instructions and not just the app. The driveway to the house is not fully paved. However, after you see the way once at daylight it becomes easier. overall, we could use the place as a most comfortable place from which we could reach volcano national park several times and many beaches. it was good to be back to a cosy place at night. We would be happy to do this again!

Definitely one of the better AirBNB's we've stayed at. Location was in a quiet area only about 12 minutes to downtown Hilo. There were lots of little extras that made our stay stand out including the Japanese toilet, good quality towels, and the loofahs provided. Things were well labeled in the apartment and it was very nice to have access to laundry. Apartment was very clean too.

Have stayed here several times in different units. It works well for us. If you find older reviews complaining about the water pump being loud its no longer an issue. It was updated recently.

I live on Hawaii Island and work regularly in the South Kona area. I had some work colleagues come to Hawaii for some work in the forest, this place was the perfect fit since it is close, has several rooms and is ideally set up for a larger group. We were working away from the coast, but the location is ideal if you are seeking a coastal retreat. I recommend this location for larger families, or groups of friends that want to be close to the water. It is literally 100 feet or so from the coast in a very quiet neighborhood. Weather is hot during the day, so it is nice that there are AC units in the rooms, but the open lanai area, where the grill is, has just the right breeze to relax and keep cool. Napoopoo road is far from Kailua town, about 40 minutes by car, so if you are into the night life or like to go out to eat a lot this place is not as well suited. However, you get all the quiet and relaxation you could want in a domestic setting.
