Guesthouse vacation rentals in Holualoa

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!

Very nice and responsive host, the house is spacious for a family and the views of the night sky is very beautiful too!

wonderful! Don't miss. Highlights: bed extremely comfortable, great hot water and shower pressure, washer/dryer; we cooked fresh fish every night (but could have eaten it raw): from Kona Seafood Market and Choice Mart. Don't miss the view, carrot cake, Ono fish sandwich and EVERYTHING at Coffee shack cafe. Loved the Kayak rental on the corner, we saw the dolphins at Captain Cook and snorkled at 2 step beach every day! We slept so well! Even through roosters and Coqui frog (everywhere on the island). Thank you Rusty for use of the snorkling equipment - including wetsuits and EVERYTHING!

Perfect place to stay at Kona. Has everything one would need in a stay with a great view

For me personally, Maria’s place rates right at the top of all the places I’ve stayed at using Airbnb (and certainly well above any hotel stay). If you are looking for a place that is just far enough away from Kona to allow for a bit of calm, you should book Maria’s place without hesitation. It was a short albeit steep walk to Pebble Beach. We ventured out easily to Milolii, Green Sand beach (do that one early!), Hookena and Two Step beaches as well as Kona, Kealakekua, and Captain Cook. We very much enjoyed the space and it was definitely more than I thought it would be. More than that though, Maria was always approachable, responsive immediately, and a pleasure to get to know.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful stay in James’ treehouse! Beautiful views and wonderful sounds of the forest. Would highly recommend if you want a more special and unique Airbnb.

I had a wonderful stay at Libby's guest house! It was clean, stylish, and felt really welcoming. The location is fantastic, with great food and shops nearby. The scenery is absolutley breathtaking, making Libby's place a perfect get away. One of the highlights of my stay was the soothing sound of the coqui frogs at night, which added a serene touch to the evenings. It was a wonderful reminder the natural beauty of Hawai'i. i loved every moment of my trip and would definitely do it all over again. If you're looking for a nice private get away, I highly recommend Libby's Place.

Essentially your own little home with the most beautiful view of Kailua-Kona. We stayed just one night after our tour of the Big Island before heading to the airport the next afternoon, but this would be a great spot to park it for a whole week as a base camp. We hit up the Manta Ray tour at Manta Ray Advocates the night before and came back to a relaxing soak in the hot tub and stargazing afterwards. Fully stocked kitchen and pretty much any condiment you'd need in the fridge. And we really appreciated the chance to do some laundry midway through our trip to Hawaii.

I would recommend staying here! There is an air fryer but I would have appreciated a microwave for convenience. The washer and dryer for use was plus. Na Na was very responsive and helpful.

We had a very lovely stay at this charming cottage! You can spend some relaxing days there and reach the beautiful beaches north of Kona easily by car. The cottage was very well equipped and very clean.

Chris and Hannah's place was exactly as described, and just what we needed for a base for lots of different Big Island adventures. Hannah reached out a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and was very friendly. IF you are not a confident parker or have a big vehicle, make sure to let the hosts know so you can swap cars for street parking. I was Austin Powering into the parking space every evening in a rental Chevy Malibu, but considered it an opportunity for personal growth as a driver.

Fantastic apartment south of Captain Cook village. It is about a 40 min drive to Kailua-Kona, so the location is a little remote. The place itself is lovely and comfy and offers everything needed. I very much liked the “open windows” - no need for A/C, the fresh wind cools the apartment. I can get a little loud during the night because of the outside wild life. 🙃 Amanda is a great host and I can recommend the place.

Great place to stay. Convenient to get around. Nice oasis created with lots of birds flying around while enjoying coffee and view in the morning. Very clean and comfy bed. Would definitely stay again.

Me and my brother had a wonderful stay. Shelley was super friendly and very responsive. The location is great to get away from the heat and noise from the town as well. Kudos for the Wilson brothers!

Kimo’s place was wonderful. It was lovely to watch the beach from the Lanai. The house was clean and cozy. Jim was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions I had. There was tons of beach stuff to use which was really helpful.

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!

Joe was super friendly and easy to communicate with. The pool and hot tub are as amazing as they look in photos! The landscaping is beautiful and we had the entire outdoor area completely to ourselves the entire time.

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.

We loved our stay at Julya's place! The lanai is everything! I will definitely try to stay here next time I'm in Kona.

This property is absolutely incredible and feels like a dream! Belinda is a top-notch, five-star host. We arrived on the island at the last minute, in need of a place to stay, and she went above and beyond to help us—greeting us in the driveway and even assisting with our bags. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated in a charming vintage Hawaiian style. The shared kitchen was fully stocked, making breakfast a breeze. The highlight? Stepping just outside to pick fresh oranges and tangerines, then squeezing them into the sweetest, most refreshing juice imaginable. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage and the most adorable little green geckos, we savored our breakfasts on the lanai each morning. Days were spent exploring nearby beaches, and each night we returned to the soothing sounds of tropical birds. We couldn’t help but say, "Those staying in town are really missing out on an unforgettable Hawaiian experience." Staying here is something you’ll always remember—it was truly

wonderful place clean and cozy I want to stay again!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! A private oasis minutes from restaurants and many of the activities we booked. Brittney was the perfect host! So sweet, always quick to respond, thorough in her instructions, provided perfect instructions and recommendations in her notebook, and checked in on us via text a couple times throughout our stay! We wish we could stay longer :)
