Guest house holiday rentals in North Kona

If you like to snorkel or dive, this is the place to stay. It’s just a small walk away. Great for a family also.

This is a perfect little spot for a vacation or if you have family in town. The power went out for a couple of hours and Malis met us at the door with a lantern. She was friendly and responsive, considerate and kind. The space itself is adorable with a comfortable bed and a wide variety of appliances. I highly recommend!

Very nice and responsive host, the house is spacious for a family and the views of the night sky is very beautiful too!

Perfect place to stay at Kona. Has everything one would need in a stay with a great view

Stepping out of my car, I was greeted by Karen and we walked through the magical lights towards my place for the night. There was a little “welcome Annie” sign at the door. Karen then walked me down to the beach to see where I could snorkel in the morning. This museum like home is full of LOVE. Art, Elephants, surf boards, even a buddha gong. Unfortunately for me, it was also full of little spider roommates that hung high above the bathroom and bedroom. The occasional spider is okay, but to have that many eyes on me was unnerving. I couldn’t stay a second night. I know, I know….I have an unnatural fear. I didn’t see any other friends. I would stay here again if I was with someone else. The bed was super comfy…. and the shower was heavenly. That was the best part for me! The fridge and stove were dirty so I opted out of eating there. ‘The Coffee Shack’, is a very delicious restaurant with an amazing view!! Call ahead to get on the waitlist.

Loved this stay. Convenient, modern house with clean and quiet location. We loved being able to walk to coffee and Merriman’s for dinner. The location is a short drive (15-20 mins) from beaches too. I would highly recommend it!

FABULOUS!! This was the most perfect landing spot for my vacation to Kona. This cottage is about 30 mins up the mountain from Kona. There’s breeze, ocean views and the jungle sounds at night at absolutely magical! The house is private, clean and spacious with plenty of outdoor space. We would stay here again in an instant!

Loved staying at Chris and Karla’s! Our boys not only enjoyed the pool but all the little wildlife around. Us adults loved the ease of the bnb, it had all the things we needed for a great family vacation. Close to everything we wanted to see and the road was great to run/walk in the morning. Chris and Karla are great hosts, they think ahead of so many little things that make your stay more pleasant. Would highly recommend this place to stay!

I had a wonderful stay at Libby's guest house! It was clean, stylish, and felt really welcoming. The location is fantastic, with great food and shops nearby. The scenery is absolutley breathtaking, making Libby's place a perfect get away. One of the highlights of my stay was the soothing sound of the coqui frogs at night, which added a serene touch to the evenings. It was a wonderful reminder the natural beauty of Hawai'i. i loved every moment of my trip and would definitely do it all over again. If you're looking for a nice private get away, I highly recommend Libby's Place.

Essentially your own little home with the most beautiful view of Kailua-Kona. We stayed just one night after our tour of the Big Island before heading to the airport the next afternoon, but this would be a great spot to park it for a whole week as a base camp. We hit up the Manta Ray tour at Manta Ray Advocates the night before and came back to a relaxing soak in the hot tub and stargazing afterwards. Fully stocked kitchen and pretty much any condiment you'd need in the fridge. And we really appreciated the chance to do some laundry midway through our trip to Hawaii.

We had a fantastic stay. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. The place was very clean and has everything you need. It has a very beautiful view of the city as well as the water. There are beautiful beaches within driving distance. It was located 20 min from the airport. It is also only 5-10 min drive from very good cafes and restaurants as well as shops (local as well as retail such as Walmart, Safeway, target, Costco). We will definitely be keeping this place in mind whenever we return to this beautiful island!!! 🏝️😄

Great, beautiful and practical apartment, ideally located with parking and washing machine/dryer. All tips and information easily via message. We would come back.

We had a very lovely stay at this charming cottage! You can spend some relaxing days there and reach the beautiful beaches north of Kona easily by car. The cottage was very well equipped and very clean.

Chris and Hannah's place was exactly as described, and just what we needed for a base for lots of different Big Island adventures. Hannah reached out a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and was very friendly. IF you are not a confident parker or have a big vehicle, make sure to let the hosts know so you can swap cars for street parking. I was Austin Powering into the parking space every evening in a rental Chevy Malibu, but considered it an opportunity for personal growth as a driver.

Fantastic apartment south of Captain Cook village. It is about a 40 min drive to Kailua-Kona, so the location is a little remote. The place itself is lovely and comfy and offers everything needed. I very much liked the “open windows” - no need for A/C, the fresh wind cools the apartment. I can get a little loud during the night because of the outside wild life. 🙃 Amanda is a great host and I can recommend the place.

Amanda was very friendly and welcoming. i would recommend this humble aboad to anyone and everyone. what a spectacular view! We felt very invited and it was warm heartfelt retreat. close to the airport and lots of amenities! Would definitely stay again. Mahalo

James was wonderful and the place was clean, close to the main strip of Kailua-Kona, had lots of seating, beautiful ocean views. Would recommend!

Joe was super friendly and easy to communicate with. The pool and hot tub are as amazing as they look in photos! The landscaping is beautiful and we had the entire outdoor area completely to ourselves the entire time.

Great location, close to town and the highway when getting around the Kona side of the island. The space is small, but everything Hannah stocked was useful items for the trip including beach chairs, a fridge, coffee maker, all the things you would want! The space is quiet and the AC was awesome for sleeping. Would absolutley stay here again.

We loved our stay at Julya's place! The lanai is everything! I will definitely try to stay here next time I'm in Kona.

This property is absolutely incredible and feels like a dream! Belinda is a top-notch, five-star host. We arrived on the island at the last minute, in need of a place to stay, and she went above and beyond to help us—greeting us in the driveway and even assisting with our bags. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated in a charming vintage Hawaiian style. The shared kitchen was fully stocked, making breakfast a breeze. The highlight? Stepping just outside to pick fresh oranges and tangerines, then squeezing them into the sweetest, most refreshing juice imaginable. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage and the most adorable little green geckos, we savored our breakfasts on the lanai each morning. Days were spent exploring nearby beaches, and each night we returned to the soothing sounds of tropical birds. We couldn’t help but say, "Those staying in town are really missing out on an unforgettable Hawaiian experience." Staying here is something you’ll always remember—it was truly

wonderful place clean and cozy I want to stay again!

A quiet, cool spot to get away from the crowds and beach area. We enjoyed the temp drop when you climb in elevation to the house. The area seemed very safe and I never worried about theft or trouble. Nice area with nice people around the house. You will be about 20 minutes from Costco and are at a central starting point to go north or south. We didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house other than to sleep and be out enjoying the Big Island.

The host is amazing. He is so kind and generous! The place is clean, it has all of the things you need to make the stay stress-free, and the place is in a great location for people who plan on walking a lot. The washer and dryer were a great amenity and he had detergent already there.
