House vacation rentals in South Kona

Chelsea was out of town yet was immediately responsive to messages dealing with a couple of minor glitches; it helped that the owner lives nearby. Place overall was great. Lack of air conditioning (it was not hot, but the upstairs did warm up in the April afternoons) was offset by the private pool, a better way to cool off than by refrigerating the house. Nice layout for two couples, one upstairs with the larger bedroom and large en suite bath, the other downstairs with two smaller bedrooms and a bath, so we each had good private space. Only drawback was the downstairs rooms seemed a bit enclosed, although all had windows. Nice large lanai and the landscaping around the pool made it feel especially private. Be sure to investigate the pantry and shelves before shopping...the place was very well supplied when we arrived. We would definitely stay again if we're in Kona!

This was the best first Airbnb experience. We were celebrating our 10-year anniversary with our 3 young kids. This home was just beautiful. The photos do not do enough justice. The home was super spacious and TV in both rooms. Our 5yr old enjoyed the jacuzzi because it was shallow and warm. The pool was huge with a diving board. It was nice having the outdoor kitchen and grill. We were able to prepare our food while also watching the kids swim. We enjoyed her papayas, avocados, and mango. Ms. Sandra shared with us her organic eggs from her chickens, Kale, beets, basil, and lettuce from her garden. Every morning when I woke up, I couldn't wait to open the curtains and windows to see the view and hear the birds. I could go on and on about this place. Thank you Ms. Sandra. It was such a pleasure meeting you and spending time in you beautiful home🙏

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.

Marylin, Steve and Craig were wonderful hosts. As soon as we came onto the property we felt right at home and part of the family. We were greeted with fresh fruit from the beautiful garden and fresh baked banana bread. You are surrounded by a lush tropical garden and many floral bouquets are throughout the tiny home. Craig made us the best coffee and provided us with some local Ube baked goods. Our favorite part of the property was going to sleep with the sound of croaking frogs. This place is truly a little slice of heaven! Hopefully we can come again! ❤️

Pictures do not do this property justice! It's absolutely breathtaking!!! The views were unmatched! Sleeping with all the windows open every night to feel the breeze and hear the sounds of nature was amazing! The hosts were just as sweet as can be and always responsive! Made my Moms bday perfect! This home lacked nothing! We had everything we needed. Close to downtown and local shops. Very easy to find, checking was super easy. Would highly recommend this property!

We went for a family vacation and fit everyone’s needs. Great for kids,grandparents and everyone in between. It was a wonderful place to be when we weren’t adventuring on island. Such a spectacular backyard to hangout in, patio for meals and kitchen for cooking. Everyone had their space! Andy and Bryn were quick with any questions we had. We look forward to booking again!

Naomi’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and spacious. The lanai is an exotic and fun feature and the house is full of character. Tropical frogs serenade at night time while the morning starts with beautiful bird song and a view of the ocean. Meanwhile, beaches, restaurants, and shops are only a 5-10 minute drive away. When you stay in the house though, you feel as though you have escaped the hustle and bustle of day to day life. I stayed here with my wife, two young children, and in-laws. It was a fantastic time and I will always remember it!

We had an amazing stay here and would definitely come back. It's a beautiful home with lots of amenities. I already miss it!

I had a great stay at Mark’s place! He was very responsive and helpful throughout my visit. The space itself is beautiful—high ceilings, very spacious, and thoughtfully prepared. Everything was set up to make me feel right at home. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others! Also, we stayed 4 nights and found local hidden gem places that we could enjoy. Location is very private and quiet which is loved it.

Great place to stay! Spotless clean, great location on the south of the island. The house feels new, as mentioned in the description! Great local places to visit nearby, which you can find in the host’s guidebook. Close to Volcanoes National Park, Black and Green Sands beaches. Peaceful and relaxing, but not too remote to miss any activities. Highly recommend!

We have stayed here before. The host is very responsive whenever I reach out. The place is in a nice neighborhood. Safe to go for a walk or a run. Beds are comfortable and has all necessities. Most likely will be back in town for work in the future and will be staying here if available.

Very private space, lots of reading materials and brochures. The beach equipment was perfect and well maintained. It has a front row view of the best sunsets on the island.

The home was clean and very inviting. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. The hosts were welcoming and available to answer questions but not intrusive. We didn't spend much time in the house except eating and sleeping - but it was nice to have a beautiful home away from home. Very lovely stay. Jack and Jackie, Lee and Christi

Coconut Cottage was absolutely wonderful! A perfect, little hidden gem! The location could not have been better for our teen son and his friends. The cottage was exactly as described and offered everything we needed for our stay. We suffered a family emergency while there, and Susan was so understanding in assisting with our immediate needs. I am so sad that we had to cut our vacation short, but we cannot wait to return!

It is a very lovely place. Christina and her team is very considerate and responsive. The room is very comfortable with lots of heating device. The environment is beautiful with lots of cute animals. definitely would come again, if I visit the volcano national park.

Private, beautiful and spacious. Great location. Anything and everything you need is available to you from the kitchen to the beach. You are across the street from the ocean. Loved the turkeys roaming the property in the morning along with the cute geckos everywhere. The beaches are just a few minutes drive away. They also have a binder filled with recommendations.

Very relaxing and great location! very roomy and enough space for 3 adults. We loved the sitting outside and listening to the birds and rain. Perfect place to relax after a few long days at volcano national park. Jeff was quick to respond and was able to answer all questions. All of us would stay again and have recommended this place to friends visiting in the future.

We just had the best family trip to Hawaii, and it was because of this magical place! The property is beautiful- on a gorgeous orchid, super private, and with a nice little path to walk and explore. The house is huge. We had 12 people (3 families), and it was very comfortable. Everyone had plenty of space, and most of the bedrooms even have 2 beds, which was really convenient. One of the best parts was that every bedroom had its own bathroom, so there was no waiting around for showers or getting ready. The kitchen was amazing—commercial appliances and even a griddle! There’s also plenty of space to hang out, both inside and outside, which was perfect for our group. Also, the rooms are pretty soundproof. We had a baby with us, and no one heard her crying at night. Overall I HIGHLY recommend staying here if you want a relaxing stay with lots of space for a large group. Moon was so nice and responsive and even brought us extra towels during our stay.

We loved our stay at Scott’s house. We were 4 adults + 2 kids and had plenty of space ! Sean, the on site manager, was helpful and easy to reach. The location is close to the airport and Harbour. A little bit further from the city. Parking was easy in the street just in front of the house. I would definitely consider going back if I have another opportunity to go to Hawaii.

Great place to stay for large families exploring Volcano National Park and surrounding area! Well stocked kitchen, beach supplies, and pack n plays for babies.

we spent a week in Matthew's place and would be happy to come back on a future trip. The house is large and full of good stuff - games, kitchen stuff, and more. The immediate surroundings are beautiful as is the view from the porch. Matthew is extremelya helpful and thoughtful. He really cared that we will enjoy our stay. Indeed a five star host. Ocean view is about 90 mins from Kona airport. I suggest not arriving at dark the first time - the area is dark and following the maps app we entered one driveway too early - backing up at darkness was scary. Make sure to follow Matthew's instructions and not just the app. The driveway to the house is not fully paved. However, after you see the way once at daylight it becomes easier. overall, we could use the place as a most comfortable place from which we could reach volcano national park several times and many beaches. it was good to be back to a cosy place at night. We would be happy to do this again!

Loved the lanai for gorgeous sunsets!

Great location making it easy to come and go from the national park. Cozy place that provided everything we needed with a helpful and responsive host!

Julia's place is amazing! Extremely private and inviting. The sunset view is wonderful, and the house is very spacious and well-kept. Would highly recommend. The only thing I would say as a "con" (although this was not for myself, but for other guests) is the limited availability of hot water. The water heater is on during select time windows, and although it usually remained warm, it was hit or miss whether you would be able to take a "hot" shower. That said, I wouldn't let that stop you from booking this place; it's worth every dollar spent.
