House vacation rentals in South Kona

The view alone is worth the price! Everything was so lush and beautiful! We felt like we were in our very own private resort. We enjoyed the spacious house itself and the outdoor area. The pool was great and the beds were super comfortable! This was a great base to explore the entire Big Island of Hawaii! I would recommend this home to anyone! Just book it already!

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

We had a wonderful 7 day stay. Our 3 boys (16, 13, and 10) spent hours on the diving board and in the pool. Sandra’s place had everything we needed for beach trips, including beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and beach towels. I was so happy to have a washing machine to wash out the sandy towels and suits after our beach trips. It was a 5-10 minute trip for Costco,-target and Walmart and a 30-40 minute trip to Hāpuna Beach (don’t miss the Malsada stand on the highway on your way). We would come back to the house to cook supper, swim more in the pool, and watch the sunset from the beautiful yard. We also got a lot of use out of the basketball net in the driveway, and volleyball net in the side yard. Sandra was extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay, including local recommendations. Would definitely stay again if on the Big Island!

We really enjoyed the time we spent at this home! The views from the decks are amazing! The pool and hot tub are great and we especially enjoyed the AC and large TVs when we came in at night.

The house, which is very spacious, is located in a quiet residential neighborhood (the only real noise is from the many birds), which is five minutes from a grocery store and some restaurants in Waikoloa Village, and there are many restaurants, beaches, and things to do within a 30-minute drive; downtown Kailua-Kona is 45 minutes, and Volcanoes National Park and Hilo are about two hours (but easy driving everywhere, except for typical urban traffic congestion in Kona). The landscaping is amazing, and the backyard with a swimming pool is extremely private. It is also west-facing, so you get gorgeous sunsets with a slight ocean view (the property is inland). The AC units (for which there is an extra charge) are only in the bedrooms, so the house gets stuffy during the day, but cools off quickly in the evening. We had one minor maintenance issue, but the host, Andy, was responsive and addressed it quickly. We would definitely return if we have a future trip to the Big Island.

Panoramic view was so nice and the location was good to travel around. Kids loved toys and sauces on the pantry and papaya from the tree on the house was amazing. My family had a pleasant time there, everything was peaceful and enjoyable. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Beautiful home on the peaceful Hamakua Coast. Our family enjoyed a wonderful and quiet staycation - the pool was delightful and temp was just right with the cool ocean breeze. Kitchen was stocked with basic essentials making cooking easy. Very comfortable sleep spaces - cool breeze at night with windows open. Loved every minute! Suzy was very friendly and responsive. The grounds were so beautiful - lots of flowers and fruits surrounding us. I highly recommend this home as your next getaway. I will stay here again. Thank you Suzy and Peter!

Unbelievable setting. House was great and Nikki was super responsive as a host. The gorgeous setting of the rainforest felt like we were in the middle of a jungle. I was expecting more of a traditional Hawaiian vibe with the pool but it was easy to head out to a beach during the day to enjoy the sun and water and come back to an oasis in the evening. Beds were super comfortable and house was clean, comfortable and relaxing. Sauna was an incredible bonus! Would definitely stay again ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Kendall was a pleasure to work with. Space was fantastic. He even helped us out with our Turo rental and returned it to Kona for us. Extremely generous and we thank him dearly for that!!

Absolutely beautiful home, exactly as the photos show and as described. Located in a lovely neighborhood and a great place to unplug and unwind. Spotty cell service (as expected for the location) but WiFi was excellent and allowed us to make calls if needed, plus there is a landline if needed. All amenities a traveler could need, including beach towels, toiletries, and spices/cooking supplies. Loved the nightlife (literal nightlife like frogs singing the song of their people at night). We felt safe and comfortable in this luxurious hideaway! Would definitely stay again! Yvette was also a great cohost who offered lots of tips for restaurants and sightseeing! We found them very useful and her local insight made our trip even better!

This place is more beautiful than the photos could ever possibly justify! The first day on the trip the smoke alarm started beeping and it was fixed before I even returned to the house Mikael was so sweet and proactive! This place was peaceful and quiet and the view was breath taking. There are notes left around the house but I personally found them so helpful! It helped me navigate the home as if it was my own! And the black stone pizza up the road was the most incredible place I’ve ever been. 10/10 would stay here over and over!

I had a fantastic stay at Sarah's in Captain Cook, Hawaii! The location was perfect—close to beautiful beaches and some of the best snorkeling spots on the island. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. One of the highlights was how peaceful it was—waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying the stunning oceanfront views from the deck was truly unforgettable. Our host was incredibly friendly and responsive, offering great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the stay. It really felt like a home away from home. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Big Island and would love to stay here again next time I’m in Kona!

This home was perfect for our long weekend getaway, so close tot the volcano and really nice neighborhood; about 40 min from the airport, we enjoyed our morning walks in the neighborhood, the fireplace was great for the really cold mornings and evenings. Home was well stocked with extra blankets and towels; easy to get into home with code, and host was very responsive when we booked

We loved our stay! Very peaceful. Emily addressed all of concerns regarding the active volcano and was very informative. While the place is secluded, her instructions given to us made it very easy to locate. Took her recommendation of getting a vehicle with 4WD and very thankful we did! The pigs and chirping frogs were an added bonus!

Incredible place! Beautiful gardens. Walking distance to beach. Great location for day trips. Jill has an amazing attention to detail and the spacious studio displays all of her artistic prowess. It's truly a sanctuary to unwind and chill out. Do yourself a favor and book it for as long as your vacation allows.

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.

The property was wonderful. It was clean and in a quiet location with amazing views.

This is perfect location if you want to visit Kona and Hilo. The farm is so beautiful and peaceful. The house has everything you need in case you forget something at home. The host is super friendly and a great baker.

The cottage was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed during our stay. It was on a large lot tucked away in lush surroundings and felt like we were far away, even though we were 10-15 minutes away from dining and our tours. And bonus, we were visited by lots of wildlife ❤️ It was the perfect place to spend our 25th anniversary vacation!

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

Beautiful home in a beautiful rural area. Stargazing is amazing from this location! We did the lava tube cave tour just 10 minutes away and visited the green sand beach near south point. About 45 minutes to an hour from activities in Kona/Kailua and northern Captain Cook, 50 minutes to Kīlauea volcano. There are many amazing places to stop along the coast between Ocean View and Kailua that we really enjoyed: pebbles black pebble beach, Shoreline Park with Hawaiian heritage sites and amazing lava flow cliffs, the Captain Cook Monument, Manini Beach with a breathtaking view of the bay and cliffs, Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, and much more. This made us not mind the drive between Ocean View and Kailua at all.

Beautiful house with tasteful furnishing. A bit cramped if the tv is pulled out because the tv is set up on a rollable cabinet but still very beautiful and comfortable place to use as base for exploring the volcano national park. Host is friendly and communicative.

Beautiful oasis with a great beach to walk down to. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we loved that beach! It was so peaceful and the waves were often mellow. It is a bit of a drive into Kona, about 45 minutes. There is a lot to do near the house but to get to white sandy beaches you have to go about 1.25 hours away. The house was great. Clean and open. Neighbors are loud at times but mostly quiet. When they are loud though it is really loud. Overall lovely place and great value.

Such a relaxing and comfortable space, listening to the wind in the forest and the afternoon clouds was very peaceful. We canceled our day plans one day just to relax and read in the yard, and enjoy the space, it's a really lovely home.
