Beachfront vacation rentals in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates

A great place! Beautiful garden and patio with citrus trees and birds. The house was perfectly stocked with everything in the perfect place. From band-aids to sunburn aloe vera to beach everything to snorkel gear, it is right where you look first. Minutes from fantastic snorkeling and beginner friendly surfing, the house is in a great location. Stuart is a great host, providing local info and very responsive to questions and requests.

Absolutely LOVED the unit! Will come back! AC was perfect & unit was very clean and big! We even got a late check out! Amazing place great host. Read this review if any one before mine may have discouraged you! BOOK IT

Great little place for all your Big Island adventures! The water toys are a massive bonus. Traffic noise can be loud but the view of the ocean and the spectacular sunsets totally offset that.

Aloha Gary! We stayed in your place next door a few years ago and had the time of our lives! When I spoke with you then, it turns out you knew my old Geology of the Hawaiian Islands professor, Dr. Carl Johnson. You mentioned our textbook was by your old professor--we still reference that text from time to time in our work as civil engineers on Hilo side. Jessica is just as full of aloha as we remember, and she even brought us an ono loaf of banana bread. We can't thank you enough for letting us bring our rescue kitty! She's only about 5 weeks old now, but our vet says she's in good health and even though she still drinks formula out of a baby bottle, she uses the litter box. She was a perfect angel and loved your place as much as we did! We hope to stay again and again in your place of heaven on the bay. Mahalo nui loa, Paul and Colleen "Zelda" Nash

I loved this place. Stayed here a week with my mom. The balcony is large and the view is amazing. Despite there being a pool from the apartment next door, noise was never an issue. It was a five minute drive to the downtown. The pool area was relaxing. Jason was very responsive and kind. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The place was very clean with lovely ocean views! We enjoyed our stay, though we did wish trash disposal was included and we didn't have to take it out ourselves.

The setting of this house is spectacular, right in Kealakekua Bay. You can see the Captain Cook monument in the distance (we kayaked there from the property). The host provides literally everything that you could possibly need to explore the bay: kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel equipment, etc., and you can do all of this right from their own (rocky) shoreline. The house was well appointed with everything that we needed for the stay. We were glad that we had the cottage so we were separated from the other rentals. It felt private. If you stay in the summer it does get HOT in the house during the day, even with the use of their provided fans, but it cools off enough at night to get a restful sleep. Also, there is a rooster nearby, which didn't bother us East Coast early risers. It's a long drive from the main route down to this property. We recommend stopping at the local honey farm that you pass on the drive down. You'll see their products sold all over the Island.

Beth was a terrific hostess! She always responded warmly to us. Her home and lanai are amazing! And the EASY walk to Manini Beach was the huge cherry on top. Thank you Beth for the use of all the beach toys and snorkel gear!!

This condo was a perfect home away from home for our family of four! The lanai (balcony) has beautiful views of the ocean and the condo is walking distance from a phenomenal beach for snorkeling, swimming, spear fishing, and even turtle watching! Driving distance to many awesome places. The condo itself is equipped with the essentials for cooking just about anything which makes it great for anyone looking to avoid needing to eat out a lot. Will hopefully be returning some day! Thank you!

The attention to detail in this updated condo is apparent. It is appointed with guests in mind--USB charging stations, water play equipment, well stocked kitchen, cooler, containers and ice for picnics... The waterfront location was great even though this isn't an ocean-facing unit, it is in a location that other occupants aren't walking by the front door, which is nice. Although we didn't use the pool, it was a nice little feature and appeared very well-maintained. We used the AC both for cooling the bedroom and to blur the traffic noise from the busy street below. It did the trick for both!

We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Russ’s beautiful penthouse is amazing to say the least. You are literally right on the water and it certainly exceeded our expectations. The car was fantastic and very nice. It is a very clean ride and in top condition. The beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve all slept in. The AC was awesome. Honestly, everything was perfect. Russ laid out detailed and well organized instructions, we had no questions or problems accessing the unit. I’m a light sleeper and it was a very quiet stay, just the sounds of the waves. The pool and hot tub downstairs (elevator worked great and easy to access) were fun and relaxing to use. Nice tenants and guests around and easy access to many beaches and restaurants nearby. In addition, we experienced a last minute very unexpected tragedy~Russ went above and beyond and was compassionate and helpful which completely made the difference for us during this time. 🙏 We would rent this place again hands down. Thank you, Russ, Mahalo!

We had an absolutely fabulous time in Kona, and Zhe & Sijie’s place was a huge part of it. It made for an amazing home away from home for our two-week stay. The home was exactly as described and as it appeared in the photos - if anything, it was even more perfect in person. Plenty of living space, the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch at the house each day, and the three bedrooms and bathrooms were a perfect fit for my husband and me, our son and my dad. The elevated deck was perfect for reading in the sun or watching the sunset and then watching the stars come out. The pool is small, but a nice place to relax between activities or at the end of a busy day. The house is also in a very nice neighborhood, very secure and close to a grocery store and quite a few restaurants. Zhe and Sijie were fantastic hosts, super quick to reply to any questions we had, and proactively communicating info about check in and check out. 10/10, highly recommend!!

Wow. We are so blown away by this beautiful home. It's much better than the pictures and any Airbnb we've stayed at. We feel so much kindness and love Kerry & Justin have for this place and everyone who have stayed here. They put every consideration for each traveller. It has everything we needed and much more. The bed and sheets are super comfortable. When we entered this home, we immediately felt the space opens its arms to welcome us.

We throughly enjoyed our stay! Pictures simply do not do justice to the stunning views and gorgeous sunsets!! The home is spacious, extremely comfortable, well stocked, and the big island decor was perfect!! Would recommend without hesitation and hope to return again soon.

This our second time staying here in 2 years and we look forward to it again. It is a excellent location, away from downtown but close enough to walk. Very peaceful, close to a beach or just hang out. Dawn is an excellent, accommodating, fun host.

Wonderful place to stay. We felt right at home, it was clean and peaceful. Easy location to walk to shops and surrounding areas. Absolutely beautiful view. We will be staying there again.

This place was a gem- in a small neighborhood down a 3 mile winding (paved) road of Rt 11 to a true slice of oceanfront paradise. This villa sat on a black lava rocky section that ended with an amazing snorkeling spot that i dove in at least a dozen times. All kinds of colorful fish were plentiful right outside my door. The villa was clean and relaxing, gorgeous easily labeled kitchen, clean bathrooms, light and airy and full wall of windows to view the ocean. Large deckwas perfect for sunset watching. You just need to stock up for supplies- half hour at minimum to supermarket/ restaurants in either direction. But the distance adds to the solitude you feel when you are there. Defiantly would return

We had a great stay with amazing close-up views of the ocean, huge lanai, a very well stocked and spacious updated unit. We even got to view some green sea turtles from the lovely lanai during our stay that made it more special! Highly recommend!

This house was in a beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds. it was very well maintained and comfortable. The house has lots of basics in the pantry and condiments. We loved watching sunset from the lanai through the trees or walking 50 ft to the Pier for a Bayside view (with dolphins often making an appearance). Excellent snorkeling at nearby Manini Beach Park (some of us jumped in at the Pier, too) and by kayak at the Cook Monument across the Bay, or at 2-Step, a 5 minute drive down the road. The AC was good but not usually necessary with great ventilation and fans. The bugs are definitely hoping for snacks, so vigilance to keep a tidy house is crucial (but this is to be expected and wasn't a problem). Dawn was very responsive to a few small problems, and when we couldn't get the dryer to work she had a neighbor offer his so we could finish in time to check out (the dryer was a smart dryer and it out smarted us). We really appreciated how Dawn responded so quickly and helpfully!

We absolutely loved our stay at Gail’s condo. The co do matched the photos and the location was fabulous. We absolutely loved the saltwater pool and listening to people blow the conch shells. Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. We have made memories to last a lifetime.

We loved our accommodation - great beach and restaurant near by and a beautiful spot to watch the sunset . The space itself has been beautifully curated for an incredible holiday. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at Stephanie’s and absolutely love Kona Bali Kai! In fact, we booked a return trip to this unit before leaving the review as we’re in the airport, sad to leave. It’s our favorite place on the island!

Beautiful townhouse with plenty of extras. Provided soap, shampoo, conditioner, kitchen supplies, laundry supplies, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, towels, etc. Wonderful view from the balcony.
