Private suite vacation rentals in South Kona

The apartment was well-appointed with every amenity needed for a pleasant stay. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet and secluded yet walking distance to two beautiful beaches and close to nice restaurants. Liz was very quick to respond to questions and very helpful.

It’s conveniently located close to the airport. Easy check in/out. We also appreciated being able to do some laundry. Thanks Ania and John!

Our family had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful home on the Big Island! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely at ease. The house was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need — from beach towels and snorkeling gear to a fully equipped kitchen perfect for family meals. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying coffee with a view each morning was pure magic. The location was ideal — close enough to explore beaches, and local spots, yet peaceful and private enough to feel like a true retreat. Our hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, offering great recommendations and making sure our stay was seamless. We created memories here that our family will cherish forever. If you’re looking for a home away from home in paradise, this is it! Mahalo for everything — we can’t wait to return!

I had a comfortable stay. I loved the local bread and produce in the kitchen. Avocado toast with banana and papaya was amazing sitting on the front lanai. The bed was quite relaxing with lots of soothing pillows for a perfectly restful sleep.

The perfect place for our family, plenty of space, items for the kids, and pool access. The setting is beautiful and nice to have a little more privacy.

We had a great stay at Lorelle Petite Retreat apartment. We loved the location being on the hill; it was nice, cool and tranquil. The space was clean and well shocked. Lorelle is a very generous, friendly person.We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Would certainly stay again. Well-located home base near Kona, close to everything but outside the main hustle and bustle. Easy checkin. A few other reviewers mentioned some loud neighbors - I experienced nothing like that. Place was just as described and perfect for my needs. Thanks!

Diwa’s place was fabulous. It was very comfortable and clean and the grounds were gorgeous. Her instructions to get in and out were very detailed. We loved getting to see her dogs, Charley and Malia as well.

The air bnb was absolutely amazing. It was equipped with everything you will need to cook and the pictures don't do the view justice. It was better than we could have imagined and Amanda was very quick with answering any questions we had. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

I can't say enough about how great this place is. It's beautiful, inside and out. It's actually the nicest Airbnb we've ever stayed at. Really, everything is top-notch, down to the products Jennifer uses, the availability of laundry facilities, and the friendliness of the host. Jennifer was so accommodating, bringing us veggies and fruit from the garden, and even bringing us something we left behind to the next place we were staying in town. I was a little intimidated by the steep driveway at first, and I wouldn't recommend showing up for the first time after dark, but I quickly adapted. The place is so quiet and peaceful, and I would say the pictures on the website don't even capture how lovely it is. I would definitely stay here again if we're fortunate enough to return to the Big Island.

We enjoyed our stay at Debby’s! We will definitely book again when we visit Naalehu!

I am so glad to have found this wonderful poolside bungalow for my long weekend. It’s tugged away in a little corner of this island paradise in a quiet neighborhood. Self check-in was quick and easy. The room was spotless clean, very comfortable and well thought out. There is even a water cooler/dispenser by the pool which, by the way, is for my exclusive use and made the place even more special. James & Rocky were warm and welcoming without being intrusive. James came by with a very nice welcome treat and that was the last time I saw anyone during my stay, though I knew they were right there if I ever needed anything. Internet was OK when it worked but be ready for the occasional spinning icons. But then, who cares?! I was supposed to be unplugged in this perfect get-away hideout. Mahalo nui, James and Rocky.

Lou and Kami are wonderful hosts and the place is amazing. It's even better than the photos showed, and we felt right at home. Everything was clean, cute style, and designed with guests in mind. The view from the lanai was amazing no matter what type of weather, and we really enjoyed our little bird friends!! They were very responsive and kind people, and we'd love to stay there again! Make sure you check out their book of recommendations, everything in there is amazing!!

We had a wonderful time at Brad and Susan's home. The pool and hot tub were beautiful. They told us places to go. Provided chairs and cooler for our beach day, picked fresh fruit off of the trees and were wonderful people. We would return in a heart beat.

We had a great stay at Ruth’s place - it was clean, quiet, and centrally located for us to explore the island. Ruth had equipped the place with everything you might need - from cooking appliances, tea and coffee, to beach towels and chairs. We had a lovely time and will plan to stay again next time we vacation in the Kona area!

Mary was an amazing host. Her property was immaculate and much larger than I anticipated. We had plenty of room for my family and felt very comfortable. The neighborhood is safe and we were able to sleep with the windows and sliding door open for the fresh cool air. Having two bathrooms was a huge plus and there was a washer and dryer as well. Top notch service from our host who went above and beyond for us. I loved all the attention to detail. There were nice ceiling fans in each room. Plenty of towels and wash rags. One of the most thought out rentals I have stayed in. I would highly recommend Mary’s place to stay if you’re on the Big Island. Mahalo Mary, for your hospitality!

My wife and I LOVED our stay at the Kona Coffee Plantation. The spacious, tastefully furnished apartment is set in a beautiful, jungle like setting. Although the unit sits above the main house it offers complete privacy. Loved the large deck off the main living area and the huge sliding doors that lead to it—helped bring the outside, in. The photos don’t do the property justice. Kona, itself is a few minutes drive down the mountain by and some of the best beaches in Waikoloa are an easy half hour drive. Our favorite was A bay. Staying here gave us the best of both worlds—beach and mountain side. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful spot. Wendy was very accommodating. The house was beautiful exactly as it was advertised. Beach entrances everywhere absolutely fabulous place. We will definitely come again.

What a wonderful place on the Big Island to explore the big island. My son (college age) loved his stay here.

Nancy and Bob were so welcoming. She greeted us when we checked in despite our late arrival. Throughout our stay, she and Bob kept us updated with the best local recommendations and happenings in the area, such as restaurant recommendations, local farmers markets, and even updated us about active lava flow! Nancy and Bob are a warm, welcoming couple. Their place is in such a peaceful, secluded location away from the main road. Highly recommend!

There is a reason this place has all the perfect reviews! It was extremely clean and super comfortable. It really does get cool at night outside and opening the windows gives a great breeze and the rainforest sounds of frogs outside was relaxing. Now there is a rooster right outside that will wake you up for the first hour of sunrise but it's stated clearly in the listing. Also, it's a short drive to the cliffs to watch the sunrise so I was up anyway. It really felt like a rainforest oasis and it was so cool! Christopher was an incredible host and gave amazing recommendations too! I would totally stay here again!

My family and I stayed at Nohea’s place for one night, but I wish we were able to stay longer. Her place was very beautiful and exactly as pictured. My family and I felt very comfortable. Nohea was quick to answer my questions and she was able to accommodate my early check in request. Her home is so beautiful and I’m very thankful she allowed my family and I to stay there. Next time I head out to Kailua Kona I will definitely be booking to stay here again. Check in and check out process was seamless and it is so easy to find.

As a family of three, we found this place comf, The pool was a nice place to cool off at the end of a hot day. We loved the Lanai and grilled some steaks one night on the common area grill. The Aloha vibe was the best part with friendly staff and tropical bird sounds. Mahalo for many our stay so special!

Sheena’s studio is awesome, very spacious for 2 people and away from all the busyness. Everything was super comfortable, especially the bed, and best of all this place has all the small essentials you need for a great stay like laundry detergent, beach gear, and shower stuff. The kitchen was also super helpful as we were able to cook our meals and we had everything we needed there. Being higher up the place never got too hot and we slept very comfortably at night with the fans. Sheena was an amazing host, accommodating and friendly! Highly recommend this place for your trip to the big island.
