Beach house holiday rentals in Kealakekua Bay

Such a special place to wake up in - right on the water with snorkelling & a surf break just there. My three kids loved their bunk room and being right on the water. Heidi was amazing and endlessly helpful. If you don't want a resort in this area and appreciate good old school Hawaii - this is the place for you.

We loved our stay right on the beach. It was perfect for our family of 4! We would stay again :)

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 enjoyed our stay. Close to downtown. Would rent again.

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

What a wonderful place to land after being out having adventures! Within walking distance of fabulous beaches, a local shopping center and terrific food. Our hosts were fantastic- quick to respond to questions and full of spot-on recommendations. Their home is a gem. Beautiful on the inside and the outside with a neat layout and a divine screened in lanai. Sijie and Zhe thought of all of the things that people might need/want when Airbnb-ing. I was seriously impressed. All of the beach & snorkel gear, beach towels, water shoes and chairs that they provided were invaluable. Great kitchen for making food at “home” and close to a large grocery store and lots of yummy restaurants nearby. It’s a quiet neighborhood nestled close to the water and surrounded by plumeria, hibiscus and all sorts of greenery. We had a delightful time during our 7 day stay in Kona at Zhe and Sijie’s lovely abode.

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.

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.

Lee’s home is perfect in every way imaginable. Our family of four had a spectacular vacation. We are already planning our next stay.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lennis’s space, along with her thoughtfulness to the space and a being a great host. Her space is very airy, clean, and so many thoughtful details. Such as, beach accessories, many bathroom and kitchen necessities. I stay in a lot of home rentals, and I am really happy when there are items left behind for others to use, like spices, oils, condiments, and there were here. Lennis’s place was our shortest accommodation of our Hawai’i visit(unfortunately), so we didn’t have time to enjoy the pool( which is just a couple of steps away). There are so many flowers and plants on the grounds. We loved that the parking was right in front. It was nice that the condo is a single level apartment. Also, the front porch is lovely, I wouldn’t say it’s very private, but we are city people, so I didn’t mind. And it is not an active road. Stay here!

Awesome stay. This home is generously equipped and made for a perfect home base during our Big Island vacation. Easy to navigate with a cozy, welcoming feel. Enjoyed the pool and lovely gardens. Let’s not forget the ocean view.. perfect for sunsets. Host was helpful, friendly, and responsive.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Jaima's. The house is beautiful - well-cared for and equipped, calm and relaxing, with multiple places to be together and enjoy the trees, birds, and ocean view. Very convenient to the local snorkeling as well as to food, beverage, market, and other amenities and excursions. And don't forget the lovely pool. Have been returning to the house in my mind since we've been home. Enjoy this special place.

Our stay in Kona was absolutely amazing! The Airbnb was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to ocean views and enjoying coffee on the lanai was unforgettable. The location was perfect—close to beaches, shops, and great restaurants, but still peaceful and private. Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making sure we felt right at home. We’d return in a heartbeat. Mahalo for an unforgettable stay!

This was perfect for our family vacation with our adult children! We loved having morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the golf course while watching the sunrise over the mountain. The beautifully landscaped community is pristine and offers well maintained amenities. The pickleball/tennis courts and one of the swimming pools are just steps from the front door, but it was so quiet and peaceful. The townhouse was ideal, VERY comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully outfitted for our family to cook meals together. The lanai was also ideal for hanging out, reading and playing games in the evenings after days of activities. We also appreciated Jeff had nice quality beach chairs and snorkeling equipment available for our days at the beach. Perfect distance from downtown Kona, kayaking & snorkeling excursions and variety of activities. Jeff and Allison were great about providing suggestions. I would absolutely recommend!

We stayed in the apartment with four people (two couples). The accommodation is exactly as described. We felt completely at ease and the communication was great. The fantastic sunset from the terrace was a particular highlight. The whole of Kona and the surrounding area is easily accessible by car. We would love to come back. Thank you!

Our group absolutely loved our stay. The host was extremely responsive and the pictures don't even do the place justice. We loved the view and relaxing by the pool until it was time to hit the beach. The location is ideal; it is not too far from Kona (8 minute drive) but you feel like you're in a jungle oasis.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Justin‘s place. It is very spacious and we were a family of five. My mom, my husband and my two daughters. The kitchen was fully stacked, and the mattresses were super comfortable. The snorkeling gear was a little old so we ended up buying our own gear. The area was great. Very close to a swimming beach and a beach for snorkeling. Justin was very responsive. Always replied right away and very helpful. We hope to come back someday soon!

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!

An amazing stay. I would only deter other people so that it would be available if we ever returned;) Kim was responsive and accommodating. The location is superb and the house amazingly well maintained and stocked. We will return.

We loved it there, super nice hosts! Beautiful views of the ocean right from the patio. Great place to walk down Ali'i drive, and magic sands was super close.

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

the avocado cottage is bigger than expected (for 2 people). the kitchen war clean and consisted of a microwave, a toaster and cuttlery as well as plates. a Walk to the City- center can be done in 20-30 minutes, but you need to cross a big street. the parking may be a bit steep if you have a low sitting car, but the owner was very accomodating in letting us park on the least steep part of the parking. all in all: can recommend

Great place, comfortable and good location. Very responsive to communication.

10/10 I loved my time at Logan and Patricia’s townhome. The space is great and in the heart of Kona. Loved the amenities, beach supplies, and the big comfy couch! Just a pro tip for light sleepers: it’s Hawaii, so sometimes little critters can be a bit loud at night. Just bring earbuds and you’ll be good!
