Apartment vacation rentals in North Kona

We really enjoyed our stay at Holly’s place. The unit is top floor with an ocean view and has been immaculately renovated. It is well stocked, and all of the linens and toiletries are very high quality. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our time at in Kona and would highly recommend it.

This place was perfect for us! The condo was updated, easily accessible, clean and in a great location! AC was perfect after a long warm day. We loved sitting out on the patio every morning and night. It was a quick 4 minute drive to downtown. The host provided lots of great beach gear we used. Joy was also very responsive! We would definitely stay again!

We had the most magical week at Maryanne's home, would 100% recommend - we'll be back! The condo is even better than photos, it's spacious, well furnished and equipped, cozy and has the most amazing view. This has to be one of the best spots on Ali'i drive because you have an unobstructed view of the ocean and you can walk across the street for tacos (every day), and fruit/flower/fresh baked goods on Fri/Sat/Sun -- and a few minutes down the road is Da Poke Shack... so good! It's really easy to jump in the car and head down to Magic Sands for some boogie boarding, our favorite morning activity. We came with our baby and 8 year old and the condo was perfect for our family of four. Although shades are not technically black out, they keep the rooms very dark and we rarely noticed any street noise. Loved the pool and we used the pool table a lot as well. Maryanne has a stocked closet full of beach goodies (snorkels, boogies, etc) as well as tons of beach towels. Overall, amazing!

Angela was very responsive in the Airbnb’s app! Whenever we had an issue, ie confused the building number (due to jet lag), had a small mishap with the washing machine, or any other questions, she was always quick to reply and came over one night to problem solve the washing machine issue. It was easy, she was flexible with our schedule and very kind! She was also very accommodating for us having two little ones, she had two pack n plays set out with fresh sheets and brand new looking blankets for our arrival. Bathroom had basics items like bath washes, bubble bath, lotion, assortment of sunscreens etc. we especially enjoyed the Tommy Bahama cooler backpack for our long days at Kona beaches. This listing is on Ali’I Dr and therefore close to an assortment of local needs (Walmart for affordable groceries and several beach accesses.) Sometimes the studio was not very toddler friendly- but that is a reflection of our wildling NOT ANGELA! We would easily come again just 2 of us.

I stayed with my kids for a week and everything was satisfactory. If I go to Big Island again, I will visit again without hesitation. Highly recommended

We had a perfect stay — the place was super comfortable and felt just like home. It was clean, cozy, and even had beach gear, which was really handy. There was a great snorkeling spot nearby, and lots of shops and restaurants close, so everything was super convenient. We’d love to come back someday!

Lava Lounge is perfect - very clean, cosy, perfectly equipped and very well thought through. Comfy bed, sweet garden, big bathroom. And the amazing cherry on top were lovely Mack and McKaela with all their wonderful recommendations! Should we ever be so lucky to come back to the Big Island, we’d definitely stay here again. Big hearted treasure place to stay on the Big Island. Mahalo!

We stayed at Betsy’s Airbnb for 8 days and had a fantastic time. The apartment is clean, spacious, and well-organized, with everything you’d need—including a fully equipped kitchen. The location is excellent: restaurants and stores are right next door, and downtown Kona is just a short walk away. The ABC Store is also just a couple of blocks away for convenience. The apartment is directly across from the ocean, offering beautiful views and the relaxing sound of waves. We were lucky to be there during King Kamehameha Day and watched the parade right from the balcony! The bedroom is quiet—we’re light sleepers and had no trouble sleeping. Betsy was a great host—very communicative and helpful. She provided detailed check-in instructions, and when we accidentally left something behind, she went out of her way to mail it back to us. Highly recommended!

Nice clean apartment, great location, well equipped, nice pool area and Gabriel on hand to help with any queries.

This is a beautiful area, we absolutely loved it. The place was clean and had everything that we needed to make our stay outstanding. The location was central to everything in Kailua. It is truly a Gem. We would definitely book again.

Great location, clean, was as described. Only downside is the walls are thin as said in previous reviews.

Had a great stay, clean and great location.

From start to finish, Rex was a communicative, responsive, friendly host. Their condo is spectacular! All the modern amenities, peaceful, and right on the water, with an incredible wrap around lanai, to enjoy breakfast on, and spectacular sunsets. I'd book this gorgeous place in a heartbeat! We had our anniversary here...so perfect! Thanks Rex, for the lovely stay!

This is a beautiful unit on a very peaceful piece of property. It was immaculate and had everything I needed for my stay. The host was very nice and accommodated my last minute booking as well. I was a bit afraid to come after dark but the host had very clear instructions with photos that helped so much! The area is beautiful and the neighborhood is very safe. The unit felt very private. Highly recommend!!

We wish we could give this place more than 5 stars because it was beyond what we imagined. We stayed as a family of four and it was the perfect place to be for a nice five days of vacation. There were two bathrooms and two showers as well as two private bedrooms. There is everything you need for comfort, extra blankets and towels to use. On top of that, the washer and dryer in unit was a gem.The kitchen is so well equipped that we cooked without trouble and ate at the dining table with an amazing view of the sea. The water is literally right outside the lanai with nothing blocking your view. We spent most of our time in the living room because of the beautiful ocean view. The location is great with downtown Kona as a 5-10 min drive or a nice stroll. Marta was also so responsive and kind, and had everything organized and instructions detailed down. We would stay here again if we ever visit Big Island again!

We arrived late, but Linda kindly waited to welcome my daughter and me to her very comfortable studio. The studio has everything you need for a stay of several days—or even weeks—surrounded by nature, with the sounds of coqui frogs and roosters that are part of the authentic Hawaiian experience. Linda was always available for any questions or requests, while remaining discreet. A short drive brings you to some of the best spots on this amazing island!

So glad we picked this place for our family of 4. we really appreciated the beach chairs and boogie board, and the kids found plenty to watch on tv. Magic Sands beach is right across the street, with plenty of sand and powerful waves.

This is such a great location, everything was in walking distance for us. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We liked the back lanai and sat and drank our coffee every morning. There’s a great smell of flowers. The lanai is also right next to the pool so easy to get to the bathroom. You can’t have alcohol in the pool area but this is close enough that you can enjoy a nice mai tai from the lanai. Great host and location. Would book again.

We very happy with the place! We loved the decor and furniture, the patio area is excellent with amazing views of the surf (enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the evening out there!). It is also very conveniently stocked with essentials, which is much appreciated. Easy walk to many, many great restaurants and shops!

We had the most incredible stay!! The host was so responsive and helpful, the condo was gorgeous and had so many amenities (beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear, cooler, etc). We loved the area and its central location to so many things. The condo was clean and welcoming and check-in was a breeze. We’d absolutely stay here again!!

We immediately felt right at home and welcomed by Regina and Scott. From the well organized binder of information to every amenity one might need, this is THE place to spend a week. When not running out to the sites on the Big Island, this property will meet all your needs. The room was quiet and had easy access. We could easily walk to town or have dinner on our private lanai while watching the sunset. When the staff blows the conch shells at sunset, all will be right in your world.

Perfect location with a beautiful view. It had everything my family needed to have a great vacation. The windows and fans kept everything cool enough that we didn't need the AC. We even got to see dolphins from the lanai! :)

Our stay was wonderful! The pictures did not do it justice! It was super close to lots of amenities and there was a 3-ring binder that had so much local information in it. The lanai was great for place for coffee in the AM or wine in the PM. Very peaceful out there. Not particularly private in AM as the golfers were not far away but we did not mind at all. Joe was so helpful with the check in procedure which was super easy with his instruction. we would definitely stay there again!!!

We were so happy with Sandra’s place! It was very cute, clean, and came with lots of helpful amenities. The AC worked great throughout the apartment. The unit was also very close to the Main Street with all the shops and restaurants.
