Waterfront holiday rentals in Island of Hawai'i

The apartment was beautiful! The view was exactly as the photo depicted. The place was organized, clean, and was supplied with almost everything and anything we needed. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Joy is a marvelous Airbnb hostess: informative, responsive, and thorough. Her unit is a gem: immaculate, well stocked and in a great location for exploring the Kona side of Hawaii and watching gorgeous daily sunsets. A special note about how the unit is stocked…all shelves are labeled for the items they hold and the unit holds everything you can need for a fun and relaxing vacation. Coffee and supplies, small appliances, a cooler for trips, Q-tips, laundry detergent and stain remover, all there and available for use! If you want a cozy rental in the Kona area, make this unit your first choice, unless, of course, we are already renting it. We would go back in a Kona minute.

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!

I enjoyed my stay in Kona. This place was exactly as advertised and looked just like the pictures. Thomas was super proactive and responsive to all of my needs. Check in was easy and clear instruction for check in and check out were provided. Amenities included a wide selection of beach items which was fantastic. Location was wonderful with walkable access to several popular but never crowded beaches. Private parking was a plus. I recommend.

We've stayed in this condo complex last year for Merrie Monarch and really like the location. The view was amazing! Walking distance to restaurants/coffee shop we frequent. Everything was clean and we appreciated having access to netflix, etc, when relaxing at night. We never cooked, but noted that the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay in the unit again.

Fantastic condo. Bed was very comfortable. Loved having 2 bathrooms. Beach amenities were in closet, so no need to buy any. Coffee pot and electric kettle for hot tea was very appreciated. AC was quiet and kept the condo comfortable. There are some good restaurants next door. Loved the covered parking. Washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again.

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!

People come to Puna for the community, for Kehena Beach and for getting away from the resorts and crowdds of "regular Hawaii". Scott's place puts you right where you want to be to experience this part of the Big Island. Location is as perfect as it gets for Kehena beach, no worries about parking, just walk across the road! the unit is huge with a patio, private parking, big living space and kitchenette with full size fridge. lots of space all around. I couldn't recommend more if you know the area and know the best place to be!

Sierra and her place were wonderful! It was peaceful haven with a gorgeous view of a waterfall (which we later walked down to enjoy - an easy and convenient walk!). The lanai and outdoor setting was my favorite along with the spacious bathrooms! No need for AC as the cross breezes are so comforting :)

We booked The Whale House for our Big Island stay. Only four of us were there - 3 kids and an adult - but this house could easily hold several more. We used the 2 bedrooms on the main floor and one of the bedrooms on the lower floor. Each bedroom comes with its own bathroom, which felt like such a luxury coming from city living. My daughter loved the decor. She enjoyed that each room had its own theme. We were in the dolphin room. The kitchen is very well stocked. The garage has beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, coolers, and other beach supplies that came in handy as we explored. The backyard was so lovely. We enjoyed exploring the different flowers and plants. The view of the ocean is unmatched. The sunrise and moonrise were both visible and stunning. We were so lucky to find the Whale House.

Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

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!

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.

Wonderful house and location for our vacation. So relaxing to sit on the balcony and listen to the ocean. Dave was very helpful and responsive, in addition, they had a property manager that was equally responsive. Beautiful setting.

The house is absolutely amazing! We had a marvelous time relaxing in the house and exploring the island. Everything was as described and even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The tranquility of the place together with the ocean sounds is just purely relaxing and inspiring. The house is in great condition and offers everything we needed for our stay. Theresa and Justin are wonderful hosts that were always were kind and helpful and prepared the house with great love.

Wendy’s place was amazing for us. We loved watching the surfers in the morning while we drank our coffee. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! One day we took an uber to the beach and used the chairs and umbrella. They were great! My husband is a larger man and fit nicely in their beach chairs. Another thing to note is there location. It’s walkable to town but down the road so you get that peace and quiet. We had an amazing time and would recommend staying here!

Jan and Cami were very nice to deal with. Their condo is in an amazing location. They thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. Very well organized space. It was clean and inviting.

Great! There were beach towels and gear provided. Very clean and comfortable!

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.

had a fantastic time on Big Island, the stay was perfect, thanks Jenna

Thank you for a Beautiful condo and experience! The view is Awesome! The Complex is a great placement for a mixture of sandy beaches, tide pools, and surf. The condo has great placement in the complex for accessibility to elevator, pool and amenities. Stephanie’s condo will make you feel right at home with housewares, extra beach accessories, A great welcome and suggestion book for the island and overall organized, tidy surroundings! Donna and I Loved our stay

Great location. Close to everything. Had everything we needed. Watched surfer surfing every morning. Highlight of the stay, saw a turtle at the beach right in front of the house two mornings in a row.

This place was awesome! Such beautiful views of the ocean, comfortable seating on lanai and full stocked kitchen. Seems they thought of everything from an ice chest to beach towels, chairs, snorkeling gear and even sun hats. Easy walk to town for dinner and light shopping. We had a small problem of no electricity when we arrived. I called William and he was there to fix it within 5 minutes. I would love to come back and stay another time😃
