Kona Reef D36, Direct Oceanfront! Top Floor! A/C

MerrieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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.

Suite Magic Sands Beach

Super close to the beautiful magic sands beach and only 10 minutes away from manta ray snorkeling which was an amazing experience!!! Nice central spot for all the stops we had planned across the island. Howard was so friendly!

Ocean view with central location tropical paradise

MeganRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Thomas’s house was great! It was clean, comfortable, and beautiful! The kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved having access to the washer and dryer. It fit our family of 5 comfortably, and we appreciated the air conditioning, snorkel gear, and boogie board. There was great snorkeling nearby, and we loved walking across the street to drink our coffee by the ocean every morning! I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Ocean Views, Air Conditioning, Elevator

AbrahamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Oceanfront with AC @ Sea Village

MarinoRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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!

Kona Getaway! Walkable, Washer/Dryer/Non-Smoking!

Ines Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
Glenn’s place was fantastic! It was exactly as pictured, new, VERY clean, and with an amazing aesthetic. The kitchen was equipped with everything you’d need and the basic condiments to make breakfast, dinner, sandwiches, etc. the balcony and sunset views were perfect for winding down with a drink at the end of the day or enjoying a coffee in the morning. Location was perfect, Kona is small, check-in was super easy and straight forward. We heard music and folks a few nights but it quickly died down after 10PM - really not a big deal. Glenn provides all the beach stuff you’d need - coolers, chairs, umbrella, hats! He really thought of every detail. The place honestly has a hotel feel to it, easily a 4/4.5 star. With the currency it was a bit out of our price range but I am SO happy we went for it. Treat yourself and do the same 🙂 Suggestion: rent a Jeep for the day & do the Mauna Kea sunset summit. Best beach to chill/swim: Kua Bay

The Mango Cottage on Keauhou Bay

KaylieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

Big Island Koi Hale

LynnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay here! Barb was a great, responsive host and the location was ideal for getting to town. Kona is quaint and walkable. The home is an architectural delight! It is beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable. The koi pond was our favorite place (just be ready with eco-friendly mosquito repellent). Barb provided many resources for visitors and keeps a well-appointed home. We sincerely thank you for the opportunity to stay in your lovely home!

Oceanfront Home, Kealakekua Bay - Hale Hoʻolana

KrystinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place was beautiful!! The ocean was literally right outside of the house. There was snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and pool noodles provided. It felt really welcoming being here. Regina was quickly responsive to any of my questions or comments as well. Make sure to pack WATER SHOES, the oceans are rock filled. Do not miss visiting 2step beach, which is only about 10 minutes from the house. The house was very comfortable for myself and family. Thank you so much for hosting us Regina, if we come back to Kona we will definitely be looking to stay at your home again! :)

IrvinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Tarek was awesome. Super responsive and very kind. 10/10 recommend his place to stay at when visiting Big Island. House was packed with much needed living amenities (paper towels, board games, laundry facilities). Loved the living conditions I got the chance to stay in!

Beautiful Home With Private Pool on Kealakekua Bay

ColleenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

The house was amazing! The location and the view could not be better. There was plenty of outdoor space and we loved opening the wall of doors to create an open feel to the living space.

Oceanfront Home 118 Puako - Hale Aloha

KatrinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
What an incredible spot! From mornings exploring tide pools to evenings enjoying a meal and beverage at sunset, we were so amazed by the location - so close to popular beaches etc. but in its own little world. Frank was responsive to our needs and we found some bonus beach toys to use! We ran into the next guest exploring the tide pools (he was staying down the street) and he told us they come back almost every year, I can definitely see why.

Oceanview Penthouse!

HeidiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had our dream vacation and can only recommend renting this particular condo. It felt like a home away from home the minute we stepped inside, and we'll remember those quiet morning coffees on the lanai, listening to the ocean, forever. Christine's condo is exactly as promised in the photos - what you can't sense from the photos, but should definitely treat yourself to, is the warm atmosphere of the condo. Here you borrow someone's home, and not just a random condo. Enjoy the perfect sunsets from the lanai, the fragrances from the garden, and enjoy the cool breeze through the condo, if you let the windows stay open. It is pure magic to sit at Queen's Bath, both in the morning and at night, and listen to the waves break. We only met incredibly friendly neighbors - and the friendliest staff at the nearby Ali'i Gardens Market. We wish, we could have stayed much longer and dream of coming back someday to sit on that lanai and watch the waves and drink Kona coffee

Magic Reef 306 Oceanfront

JoAnnRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The view!!! It’s probably one of the best on the island!! GORGEOUS sunsets! Falling asleep to the sound of the ovean, amazing! Don’t be put off by the aged exterior of the condo building. When you step inside, the unit is immaculate and equipped with everything you need! Including beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear etc…We had a problem getting the tv on and Barry called us with the service provider on the line and walked us through. We felt so at home and comfortable. There is a great restaurant and bar downstairs which we frequented. And the access to the beach was so nice. We would definitely stay again. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you Barry and Terry!

Casa Chilin 2bd/2bth@Waikoloa Resort Walk To Beach

VickyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Dawn’s place is cute. She has nice amenities like beach chairs and snorkel gear. She also had a mini rice cooker that was very convenient. It was in a great location right next to local am shops and a small beach.

Christie is an excellent host. Everything was just as described. Comfortable beds. Spotless linens. Clean kitchen. No bugs! Pool can be noisy until it closes but you cannot hear it on the balcony. Other than that, quiet condo complex.
