Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in North Kona

I travel to this area most years for conferences and holiday. Always choose this accommodation if available because of its location, amenities and most helpful guests. It is my number one place to stay for ease of access also. Very quiet and lovely neighbourhood and very safe walking any time day or night. It is up a hill which gives a great view and I like it for the exercise walking to restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries and other shops. Could ask for better hosts! A favourite of many B&Bs I have stayed at around the world.

Probably our favorite AirBNB ever. It felt like we were visiting friends. The house is beautiful and spotless, very comfortable. All the beach gear available to borrow and great local recommendations. Location is beautiful, quiet, private, but close to everything. We loved Megan and her family so much and will stay here on our next trip to Kona!

Incredible little hidden gem. Close to coffee farms, local vibes, snorkeling, etc. peaceful and private. There is a lattice partition between the two garden suite lanai’s - had wonderful chats with the lovely folks staying in the next suite but still the apartment felt very secluded. Viviane is a generous and gracious host. Mahalo, Viviane!

Come for the amazing views and stay for the delicious breakfast featuring locally grown fruits! Kurt and Kana were traveling but we were very well cared for by Jeff and Camille. We were only there for a short stay while visiting family in Captain Cook but loved our roomy accommodations with a private patio, large bath and sitting area. We had an adventure finding this spot at night. I’d suggest calling ahead to get better directions from one of the friendly hosts. One tip is to enter Government Main Rd from the end closes to Captain Cook (look for the McCoy Plantation sign) rather than the other end.

Our stay at Clem’s place was nothing short of amazing. We were greeted warmly by our hosts and shown around the property as well given a rundown of the extra amenities provided. Everything was perfect and the attention to detail was outstanding. I highly recommend staying here especially if you are a single traveler or a couple wishing to relax in a beautiful and peaceful environment surrounded by singing birds, friendly dogs, and good vibes. Also, don’t miss out on the delicious breakfast each morning! That was easily one of the highlights of our stay. Thanks again Clem and Angus, we will be back soon.

I really enjoyed my 5 nights. My family had been with me for a couple weeks at a much higher nightly cost, so in my extra 10 days I wanted to ratchet down to a more reasonable nightly cost. And this natural paradise was a success for me. I loved getting know Honokaa area better - and the roads around this retreat are just remarkable with their huge eucalyptus trees! Kitchen was pristine, and they have a nice French press for my critical morning coffee. And enjoyed eating the farm’s bananas for breakfast. And space in the fridge & freezer for my extra foods left over. I was tempted to stay extra nights, but figured it better to keep exploring the awesome island. They had an extra blanket because it does get chilly in the middle of the night. Memorable and enjoyable airbnb!

Carl and Elma are very friendly and helpful! Elma is an excellent cook and the gluten free breakfasts (I have celiac disease) were delicious and fresh! Carl was very helpful in giving us a map with recommendations of what to see in the area. We loved the private locking bedroom (key provided) with attached bathroom and private lanai with ocean view. Beautiful gardens, sunsets, stars, sunrises, birds, cows and wild pigs. It felt very close to nature sleeping at night. The mini fridge on the patio came in handy. It is about an hour south of Kona airport. We stayed for two nights on our island circumnavigation adventure. Greenwell Kona coffee tour was excellent, enjoyed the Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, the painted church. Highly recommend Junjira Fresh Thai Kitchen at (near ChoiceMart grocery store -take out or patio seat) and Honaunau Poke Shop (takeout or patio seating) about 5-10 miles north. We would definitely choose to stay here again. Thanks Carl and Elma!

Megan and her husband were warm, welcoming, and great hosts. This is definitely a family business and feels like being invited to stay over at a family or friend’s house. The room and bathroom were extremely clean and well stocked with amenities. I highly recommend staying with them if you’re looking to feel right at home.

CC is super nice, she picked us up at the airport, so check in was very smoothly. She was very kind, she also prepared instant noodle, breakfast for us. Only 10 mins away from the airport, highly recommended for a Kona stay :)
