Waterfront vacation rentals in Hawaii County

The apartment was beautiful! The view was exactly as the photo depicted. The place was organized, clean, and was supplied with almost everything and anything we needed. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Hawaiian Getaway! This condo was absolutely perfect for our trip to Hawaii! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the cleanliness, comfort, and attention to detail. The view was stunning — waking up to the sound of the ocean and sipping coffee on the lanai felt like a dream. The location is ideal: close to the beach, great restaurants, and local shops, but still peaceful and quiet. The condo was stocked with everything we needed — beach chairs, towels, even a cooler for day trips. The kitchen had all the essentials, and we loved having the option to cook some meals at home. Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing clear instructions and local recommendations that made our stay even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base in paradise. We’re already planning our next visit — highly, highly recommend!

Very nice place and they did their best to accommodate our group

I enjoyed my stay in Kona. This place was exactly as advertised and looked just like the pictures. Thomas was super proactive and responsive to all of my needs. Check in was easy and clear instruction for check in and check out were provided. Amenities included a wide selection of beach items which was fantastic. Location was wonderful with walkable access to several popular but never crowded beaches. Private parking was a plus. I recommend.

Sally's place did not disappoint--we so enjoyed being tucked away on the Big Island. There were plenty of nearby hikes and outdoor activities. It was also incredibly easy to just stay put and relax. We used the spot to get around to various locations on the island. We also had no issues driving back at night. Super great touches we appreciated, like having water shoes, snorkeling gear, and a cooler (all things we ended up using!). Appreciated the flexibility using the shared laundry machines. Sally also proactively offered a later check out on our last day since there was no on checking in. We hadn't planned on lingering, but ended up spending a little more time with our coffee next to the pond that morning!

We've stayed in this condo complex last year for Merrie Monarch and really like the location. The view was amazing! Walking distance to restaurants/coffee shop we frequent. Everything was clean and we appreciated having access to netflix, etc, when relaxing at night. We never cooked, but noted that the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay in the unit again.

Fantastic condo. Bed was very comfortable. Loved having 2 bathrooms. Beach amenities were in closet, so no need to buy any. Coffee pot and electric kettle for hot tea was very appreciated. AC was quiet and kept the condo comfortable. There are some good restaurants next door. Loved the covered parking. Washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice place if you like to stay away from the main city. There's no cell signal around, but this place has good wifi that you can get on some part of the street as well. Scott is great and always available. Only considerations would be that: The laundry is not in building, it's in the next door nieghbors place with time limitations and the sink in the kitchen is a bit small. Apart from that great.

Beautiful, serene house in the best location on the island. Well provisioned and well kept with beautifully landscaped outstanding outdoor living space. Brilliant stargazing at night. Turtles, whales, fish, geckos, birds, and a mongoose provided entertainment during the day. Quick walk to what felt like our own private beach. The provided beach chairs and wagon made it an easy trek. Convenient access to groceries at Mauna Lani (10 min), Waikoloa (15 min), and Waimea (25 min). Rental managers were responsive and helpful every step of the way. We wish we could have stayed longer!!

We booked The Whale House for our Big Island stay. Only four of us were there - 3 kids and an adult - but this house could easily hold several more. We used the 2 bedrooms on the main floor and one of the bedrooms on the lower floor. Each bedroom comes with its own bathroom, which felt like such a luxury coming from city living. My daughter loved the decor. She enjoyed that each room had its own theme. We were in the dolphin room. The kitchen is very well stocked. The garage has beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, coolers, and other beach supplies that came in handy as we explored. The backyard was so lovely. We enjoyed exploring the different flowers and plants. The view of the ocean is unmatched. The sunrise and moonrise were both visible and stunning. We were so lucky to find the Whale House.

Peter and Lori are friendly and welcoming and their property is truly lovely -- it is evident that a lot of care, effort and thought goes into to maintaining it. The cottage makes a perfect home base for exploring the area. It is also so pretty and comfortable that you just might want to pick up a pizza, watch some Jeopardy and dream about what it would be like if every Friday evening was that perfect :) Thank you so much Peter & Lori!

Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay! The location was fantastic and the views were absolutely stunning. The space was beautifully decorated, cozy, and well thought out. The host was very communicative and made everything easy from start to finish. We’d love to come back!

Wonderful home for a vacay on the east shore. This home is so unique, built with 12 sides, it’s a clever design that keeps the home cool. We enjoyed our time on the lanai the most.

We had a lovely stay at Mary’s place. The home is nestled in a lush, serene setting and was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Mary and her property manager were responsive, helpful, and accommodating. We loved relaxing by the pool and taking evening walks to catch the sunset over the ocean at the nearby park. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, and we loved the open-air layout—it felt like a home away from home. Waking up to the sight and sounds of the ocean from the upstairs bedroom is something we’ll miss. Thank you, Mary, for graciously sharing your beautiful space with us! The memories our family made at this home are something we'll always hold dearly.

LOVED this location and the unit! Gorgeous views of the adjacent park from the lanais and a great place for morning walks or runs. I also really appreciated the extra touches — the welcome basket, yoga mats, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. Great value. I’d absolutely stay here again.

This place is exactly as described, quiet, clean, and close to everything in Waikōloa beach. The decor was nice and AC was wonderful. We enjoyed the pool and the kitchen was stocked with all essentials for cooking! One thing cleaning-wise that would have been better is if the floor was mopped… walking around with bare feet, our feet got dirty quickly. However we will definitely be back to visit Carlos’ place.

Great space! We loved our stay. Terry,s place was very comfortable. The presence of beach stuff was very helpful!!

Charlie’s place was perfect for a weekend staycation. Beautiful ocean view, swimming pool was great, and a quick walk to Magic Sands beach. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals and the a/c was nice but actually the fans kept it cool.enough that it wasn’t needed. Charlie was quick to respond to any questions and instructions were helpful and clear. Would definitely recommend staying at this magical AirBnB!

had a fantastic time on Big Island, the stay was perfect, thanks Jenna

Great place to stay! If you’re considering a stay here, pull the trigger and book now! Stephanie’s place is cute, well located, and has the best view of any Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Stephanie is a great host and very responsive.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Paul is an amazing host. He was very easy to reach out to and the place was everything as it looks in the pictures! I’d definitely stay again! Thank you so much Paul!

This place was awesome! Such beautiful views of the ocean, comfortable seating on lanai and full stocked kitchen. Seems they thought of everything from an ice chest to beach towels, chairs, snorkeling gear and even sun hats. Easy walk to town for dinner and light shopping. We had a small problem of no electricity when we arrived. I called William and he was there to fix it within 5 minutes. I would love to come back and stay another time😃
