Find Places to Stay in North Kona on Airbnb

This space is truly beautiful and unique. The location is great, close to the ocean, some tasty restaurants, and historical sites. Listening to rain drops in the trees surrounding the space was delightful!

One of the best Airbnb’s we have ever stayed in. It was a perfect home to us during our trip to Captain Cook. Jesse and Lucia were great at checking in and making sure we were taken care of. We wish we had known about the roosters, we eventually got used to them, but the first night was definitely a surprise! I would recommend ear plugs to any light sleepers, but the (other) sounds of nature were wonderful to fall asleep and wake up to. I loved the openness of the living room; we really felt connected to nature and it definitely helped us relax and enjoy. The floor above can be nosy if others are walking around, but that’s to be expected anywhere you stay, really. But again, we really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay again. Thank you for everything! Mahalo!

The place was amazing, design and decor was one of a kind. Definitely enjoyed our stay here! Very warm and welcoming hosts

Beautiful, welcoming and spotless! Incredible hosts! Highly recommend!

The check-in process was super smooth and the experience was pretty good :)

We loved our stay at the Mango Farm! Thank you to Heather for making us feel right at home!

This was the perfect place to kick off our honeymoon. Heather provides us with all the amenities and recommendations to enjoy our stay as a “local” - which is our favorite way to travel. The fresh fruit from farm was a plus :) We arrived after dark and check in was easy and the location was simple to find. Beaches, restaurants and markets were 10-20 minutes away. We loved being away from the hustle, nestled into nature. We miss falling asleep to the sound of the frogs. It was hard not to be emotional upon leaving. It truly felt like home. We plan to visit again :)

Lovely, private and serene

The apartment is perfect! It is very well equipped, clean and offers a very nice view to watch sunsets. We enjoyed the stay very much and can just recommend it!

A quiet space a little away from Holualoa Town, a large site with lots of fruit trees and trees. There is a two-story house in that space. The second floor is the host house and the first floor is the guest house. There are many similar homes around the property, in a quiet, relaxed and lovely area away from the hustle and bustle. Located at the foot of Mount Faralai and away from the sea, it is not too hot and cool. It's a bit cool in the morning and evening, so it's a good idea to have long sleeves. Rooms are clean and well cleaned. Cooking utensils are available, and there are rice cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, electric pots, hot plates, toasters, coffee makers, etc., so you can cook yourself without any problems. Since there is also a coffee mill, you can grind the purchased Kona coffee beans and drink it immediately. There is also a cartridge type water purifier, so there is no need to buy water. In addition, there are a lot of beach gear, and beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler boxes, snorkels, cool bottles, etc. were handy. The view from Lanai is a lot of trees underneath, the town of Kailua-Kona and the vast sea far away. Every day I spent watching beautiful sunsets. The lanai is large, so you can eat at the table or relax on the sofa. Rent-a-car is essential, but it is about 15 to 20 minutes drive to Kailua Kona, Keauhou shopping center and beach. Every day I went to KTA, Safeway, Target, Walmart and Kahaluu Beach. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the host lived on the second floor, so there was no need to receive or hand over the keys, just putting the keys on the table. The host woman is very kind and will answer me politely if I have anything, and I'm on the second floor so I can go to listen immediately. It keeps your private well, so you will rarely meet and help you only when you need it. I think it is the best location to spend your time on the Big Island slowly and comfortably, but I think it is a good distance for those who are actively moving to Hilo, Volcano, Mauna Kea, North Kona and many beaches, I went many times during my stay. Especially in the middle of the Kona coffee cultivation area, you can easily go around the coffee plantation everywhere. I stayed for about 3 weeks, but anyway, I found the location, environment, room and host to be satisfactory.

Karoline and her dog Hano are lovely hosts and her place was just perfect for our stay on the big island! Karoline has a beautiful house and guest apartment. Everything was sparkling clean and decorated in a cozy hawaiian style. We cooked a lot and were genuinely surprised by how good the kitchen devices (mixer, pans etc.) are! The whole apartment is very well thought through and Karoline goes above and beyond to ensure that her guests enjoy their stay. She even provided us with fresh fruits from her own garden! She also makes her own soapes and pays special attention to the environment and holding a sustainable houshold. Hano is the cutest, a very friendly, goofy and even a little shy doggo that one cannot help but love. We also loved the view from the apartment. One can see the ocean and watch the most amazing sunsets whilest sipping on a cold Big Wave or Longboard. So, if you get the chance stay here and enjoy this beautiful island from the very best airbnb.

It was wonderful place She had everything what we need . We wish we want back to there for month to stay . Thank you

Spectacularly natural, lush surroundings.. beautiful garden, flowers fruit and coffee. A delightful place to stay where everything is thoughtfully provided for you.

Karoline’s place was warm and cozy as described. It has a neat view of the ocean, and the property itself is surrounded by lush trees. The house was stocked with amazing coffee beans, which my husband really enjoyed having. Karoline’s dog, Hano, was a cool hang out in the mornings. The place is conveniently located to Kona and other beaches (about 15-20mins drive). Highly recommend it.

Karolines house is very charming and well kept in every detail, and with a beautiful view over the garden and to the ocean. Peaceful area and close to a nice little village.

If you are going to the big island, want a spectacular view, comfortable stay, and a wonderful host than we recommend this cozy magnificent spot overlooking Kona. We will never forget our trip and appreciated every second of our time here. Thank you Karoline 🌺

Charming cottage that is in a great location with just a short walk to Manini beach! My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Ron and Karen are very careful to respect your privacy, but are around if you have questions or want a brief chat. They have many very good recommendations for things to do on the island that helped to make our stay special. There are numerous details in this cottage that have history and meaning. Ask Ron about some of the components, they come with a good story!

The cottage is so cute and charming to stay in. Karen and her husband were amazing hosts. As we got in, Karen showed us around to the beach and gave us insights of the area. Snorkeling at the beach was amazing. Lots of bright-colored fish by the reef. We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the decor of the cottage.

Great location, great cottage, great hosts. A real gem. Ideal for snorkelling, kayaking, enjoying the sea shore and beautiful sunsets. Encounter with dolphins almost guaranteed.

The Bali Cottage is a rustic, comfy space and hosts Karen and Ron are exceptional. They will bend over backwards to make sure guests are comfortable; the location is awesome, shady, and a 5 minute walk to Manini Beach. Everything you need is available in the cottage: coolers, beach towels, boogie boards, and toiletries just in case you forget yours! Go to sleep with the gentle sound of the surf... and wake up with the sun shining in your outdoor shower!

Stay here! It’s definitely more of a “glamping” vibe but so amazing! We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean and wildlife. Very friendly hosts! The snorkel gear was awesome to have when we hiked to Captain Cook!

One of the most unique and memorable places I’ve ever stayed. Karen and Ron were very friendly hosts, who made sure we felt right at home.

There are not enough words to say how wonderful the Bali Cottage and Karen are. The space is AMAZING, the only negative thing I can think of is now all other Airbnb’s or even hotels or even my own home will all fall short of the magic that is the Bali Cottage. Karen is super communicative and welcoming and even walked me down to the beach when I got there, which btw is also amazing and charming. Literally could write a book on how much I loved my stay. Thank you again Karen for sharing your space with the world!

A magical place! It has so much atmosphere and quirky touches. Kitchen had everything we needed and we spent a lot of our time on the porch. Didn’t miss the lack of air conditioning for our visit in November. We really settled in and enjoyed our 3 days immensely. You’re not just staying at a place, you’re really being hosted.

The location was amazing. We woke to the sound of the waves every morning and watched the stars every night.

Such a wonderful guest experience at Jerry and Alice's Kona Magic Sands place...we did not want our stay to end! Everything you need for a wonderful vacation is included - from a comfortable bed, all kitchen utensils and appliances, very nice linens and towels and anything you would need for a day at the beach. It is hard to describe the views and sounds of the ocean...there were days we just opened the lanai and spent most of the day enjoying the scenery (and serenity). And after a day of touring, it was so nice to come back and just enjoy the ocean, pool and making dinner in their well-equipped kitchen. We would actually look forward to returning each afternoon/evening to enjoy their place and the atmosphere. Jerry and Alice are such sincere and caring hosts... they truly want guests to enjoy their experience. There were tropical fresh flowers waiting for us as well as bananas from their own tree! We were sad when our stay ended and hope to be guests again! A wonderful, fabulous experience! Mahalo Jerry and Alice for sharing your paradise with us!

Absolutely amazing views and place. We saw whales, dolphins, fish, and turtles all from our condo! Jerry and Alice were some of the nicest people Ive ever met, very accomodating and definitely went above and beyond. We are definitely hoping to come back and stay here again.

It was very relaxing to hear the constant splashing of the waves, which sent us to sleep immediately! The Magic Sands restaurant was excellent, convenient and fun. Great to have an allocated parking space.

Jerry & Alice are the kind of hosts that you remember for years, their kindness and warm communication, they feel like friends rather than hosts. We will never forget the roar of the waves, the breath taking sunsets and the whales and dolphins daily transiting out front. 🐳🌊 🌅

We had a wonderful stay at Jerry and Alice's condo. The views were magnificent - a perfect place to take in an ocean sunset. Was nice to be able to lie in bed and hear the sound of the waves. The location was great too, right next to a nice beach and an easy drive to any other Kona destination. Jerry and Alice were great hosts and provided all the info we needed for our trip along with plenty of suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We would love to stay at their place again.

Jerry and Alice are wonderful hosts and their condo is amazing. I would definitely come back here.

Right next to Magic Sands Beach. Perfect location. We loved hearing the waves lap up on the shore each night. Perfect sea breeze blows into the apartment each day. Jerry and Alice were kind and easy to interact with. Highly recommend!

What a great place! My husband and I stayed for 5 nights during our vacation and we couldn’t have been happier. The location in the Kona area was convenient, and the amenities within the apartment were perfect. It’s super cute, and they’ve thoughtfully made sure it includes everything you need, even things like beach towels, a small portable cooler for day trips, umbrellas, etc. The front deck has such a lovely view and the backyard was a nice surprise. We didn’t get to meet them but communication was great over Airbnb messages. I was a hit worried about the driveway and it is pretty steep, but our SUV rental handled it just fine if we drove carefully.

This airbnb is very cute, sparkling clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, yet quiet and off the beaten path. We appreciated the use of beach gear, including towels, snorkeling gear, chairs, boogie boards, an umbrella and even a cooler with an ice pack. Chris was very attentive to any questions and usually got back to us within 10 minutes of posing a question.

Spotless and charming place with a great view.

Great hosts & great place!

Our stay was perfect! Chris made sure we had the pack n play and high chair for our 20 month old. The play area in the back was perfect for him! He napped and slept great with the black out curtains (so did we). All the extras were great too: the towels for the beach, the snorkel gear, & beach gear. I really enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching the ocean. We have already recommended this place to our friends!

Amazing view. Great communication from host. Excellent stay.

Everything is so well equipped that it can be a minimum stay for couples. I want to recommend it to everyone

Beautiful place to stay. Me and my aunt hung out over night because our main stay was in Hilo. We booked on Airbnb and checked in 45 minutes later. The view is spectacular day and night. I really enjoyed watching the moon hang over the ocean at night! The room is perfect! Literally!!!

This cottage is perfect in every way. The location is close to town and beaches yet far enough removed to be private and quiet. I would absolutely recommend it and would stay here again.

What an awesome 3 days we had here! Private, quiet, cool and felt so nice! An extremely well stocked vacation rental with a spectacular view of the ocean and sunset. Comfy bed and really comfy couch. You won’t be sorry if you stay here, such a welcome change from the heat & crowds of Kailua Kona. So beautiful!

Nice, spacious cottage with perfect privacy and stunning sunsets. Always a little breeze so no need for A/C. A plus are the mosquite-netted windows, although we did not encounter a single one! While there are further houses nearby, the cottage itself is really private and kind of remote. We would stay in the cottage again.

Super place and great location. Very tropical setting

The cottage was immaculate and spotless. The location was very private and lush. I would definitely stay there again

Really well appointed cosy cottage for a couple ... we stayed for a week. Great base of operations with nice views of the sea. Quiet location yet very handy if travelling north and east. Hosts very professional, great communicators. Highly recommended.

Wow! This place is absolutely awesome. Private, spotless, homey, far enough away to be private, yet close enough to have a great time. Plenty of amenities and hot water and a bathtub. My personal favorite. We opened every window and basked in the ocean breeze. You can see the ocean from the porch and bedroom window. It’s got a full kitchen. Stop at Safeway and get what you need first. It’s only about 10 minutes away. We had a teeny tiny issue, that I’m reluctant to even mention, and the only reason I am is to let you know Maura handled it right away. If we come back to Hawai’i, this is where we will stay! Mahalo

It's great, clean, the setting is great with a view of the ocean and the sunset!

Lovely house, thanks for being a wonderful host Beth!

The house is very spacious, bright, and airy. It was very clean and quiet as well. The location is excellent - very close to beaches, snorkeling, and shops/restaurants. There was some snorkeling and beach gear that we could borrow, which was very helpful.

Staying at Bath's location was great! We were close to beaches, grocery stores, a delicious poke place, and downtown. It was dark, cool, and quiet at night, and bright and airy in the day. There was everything we needed for cooking our own meals and general living, including a puzzle and board games, and my entire party had a great time. When we return to Kona we plan to stay here again!

Lovely little beach house with everything you need. Close to town and the beach.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Lots of things to do in the area, like kayaking, surfing, snorkeling. The house was nice and clean, comfortable and authentic Hawaiian. Walking distance to the beach is 10 minutes. Great location and value.

Great spot! Very clean and spacious. It is a drive to the beach and to restaurants, but the house amenities are perfect for a getaway.

This space was so cozy and had views of the ocean and the mountain. The location was so close to the beach for awesome snorkeling and and swimming. Beth was a wonderful host, and I would gladly stay again.

Nice place close to lots of fun places and beaches

Super clear and timely communication with easy check in. A perfect little spot for a traveler on a budget.

Great place! I’ll definitely return.

Hannah’s place was perfect for our one night stay after a long flight from NYC. Easy check in, comfy bed and some nice reading material about the big island made for a short lovely stay. Also appreciated the soft fluffy towels to wash the long plane ride off (it’s the little things :) Thanks Hannah!

Very easy to get to from the airport using google. Great location to downtown Kona (about 8 min drive). Very clean and quite. Exactly like the pictures! Great space for the price.

This spot is excellent if you need a spot to stay close to the airport! The bed was super comfortable and the host provided us with two towels! There were two fans to keep you nice and cool. Ideal for a couple or solo traveller. We were only there for one night and was staying at another Airbnb for the week. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars was because it wasn’t the most clean.. it smelled a little musty and there were splatters all over the mirror in the bathroom.. it’s super convenient but I probably wouldn’t stay here for more than a night or two..with that being said the host was very quick to respond and overall was a pleasant interaction/experience.

This place was great as a stop over near the airport--had everything you need! Hannah was great, and answered my call when I got lost. A very gracious host! Thank you!

We felt comfortable and can recommend it. Unit larger than expected. Functionally furnished. However, there is no storage space. No closet, no clothes rail, few hooks. The fridge in the room runs quietly. Microwave, coffee machine and basic kitchen equipment available. Wifi stable. Cleanliness ok, same as bed linen and towels. No roommates with multiple legs. Wash and dry for free. Quiet surroundings. Pure residential area in the hills in front of Kona. Parking in front of the door. 5 minutes by car to the next Walmart / Safeways. From 10 minutes by car into the tourist bustle. Easy check in and check out. Contact the landlord only in writing, not in person. Hannah always replies super quickly. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio was very good. It was enough to sleep. We would book it again for this.

Hannah's place is a great spot for arrival/departure days - easy access, clean, and convenient.

Peter and Kathy are down to earth people. Very gracious in making their home your home. Knowledgeable about the area, culture and people. It's more than just a stay, it's a great experience.

Peter and Cathy’s place is exactly as advertised and even better Asan experience. We would highly recommend it.

Lovely place, kind and knowledgable hosts, close to town, all the amenities you'd need.

We only stayed a few hours really as our flight was very late. They were very quick with responses and “no worries” when I messaged them from the airport. Cute place and functional, I wouldn’t hesitate to return here. Quick visit with Peter, very friendly and helpful.

Clean, comfortable, all the amenities , beautiful landscaping , safe & secure. Gracious hosts!

Perfect apartment and lovely dog.

Great host, friendly and informative. Comfortable accommodations. Very convenient to the airport. There are coqui frogs in the area there, very loud at night, earplugs worked for me. Can see the ocean in the distance from the back lanai. Enjoyed bird watching in the morning while having tea.

A very brief stay for us but Peter & Cathy were wonderfully accomodating. A very sweet spot....clean, stylish, comfortable....loved it!

We ended up spending only a few hours at this lovely cottage due to some travel mix ups. However, this cottage is so lovely that I want to go back! The hosts are very responsive and kind. The space is very clean and relaxing. I would highly recommend this cottage to any traveler looking for a cozy space in an amazing setting.

We choose this location because we were coming in late and it is close to the airport. But while it is only 15 minutes away it is in another world. Just out of the valley and up into the beautifully forested hills. I love Airbnb because people are willing to share their amazing places with others. This cute cottage is beautiful decorated with many thoughtful touches. There was a bowl with some fruit waiting for us. Which we really appreciated after a long day of flying and munching on snack food all day. I don’t know why people would stay in a hotel when they can stay in a amazing place like this for less than the cost of a hotel room. The bed was very comfortable and we got a great nights sleep. We would definitely stay here again and probably for a longer period of time. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Perfect getaway in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the rain forest all around it. Close enough to Kona. Bed was so comfortable!

Great little cottage with a queen bed and bathroom. It's up on the mountain side of the island so it's a lot cooler of a place to stay than if you were costal. Great communication with the hosts.

This location is perfect. Not too far from the action, but still far enough from the noise. Mele and Paulo are chill and easy going. The space is small and enough for two people. Has just about all you need. You'll hear hawaii nature at night and in the AM. Check it out!

Great little space in the forest above Kailua-Kona. Beautiful yard, cute outdoor dining table. Love the forest - it’s a lovely place to enjoy it.

Wonderful place, nice and quiet and comfy!

We had a really great stay at Mele & Paulo's BnB. The space is very clean and nicely decorated. The location is great too. Close enough to the airport and at a very comfortable altitude lending to a great night's sleep. We wouldn't hesitate staying here again.

We felt very comfortable, the apartment was bigger than we expected and you could easily stay with two more persons. It’s nice and quiet, everything was very clean. A little damage was fixed right away by the owner. We didn’t want to leave and looking forward to come back some time :) Liz and Robert are great hosts. Mahalo :)

Our stay here was completely wonderful. The location is perfection and the suggestions of what to do were spot on! We enjoyed every second and are so happy we got to stay here. Way beyond our expectations.... thank you so much.

Great quiet home one block up from Alii drive, the main strip in Kona. Walking distance to the beach or pack up and drive. Seems to be an active spot for joggers. Beautiful clear water. We especially loved two restaurants near by (a good walk but doable) The Rock and Hugo's. It's the same owners, restaurants side by side but different menus and price. Super super great location for a sun set and our favorite MaiTai. You need reservations for the Rock. You can feel the influx of travellers when a cruise ship shows up but being there for a couple of days you can avoid the main strip. For some great snorkelling visit Two Step park.

What a great place in a great location to explore the Kona side of the island. It is in a quiet neighborhood where the only noises are that of nature. Beautiful flowers and back gardens. Bed and futon were comfortable. Lots of amenities to enjoy your day at the beach and close to restaurants or excursions. Thanks Liz and Robert for everything!

Excellent outdoor space at property. Worth noting that swimming on the nearby coast could require foot ware because of rocks. Availability of snorkel equipment etc and body boards was welcome and overall our stay was a very relaxing experience.

Great location close to beaches, local shopping center and downtown restaurant row. Quiet location, bird songs await you in the morning. Host were available when needed but provided privacy. Definitely would stay here again!

It is beautiful, quiet, spacious, and comfortable. We had a really good time. Highly recommended!

Great location-loved being able to walk to a great snorkeling beach and avoid the traffic of downtown Kona,and still be able to get there easily to enjoy the restaurants and other amenities. The outside lanai and gardens were very nice, with a good spot to wash off beach sand. Would stay there again for sure!

Great Airbnb if you wanna see a different side to the hawaii life

We absolutely loved our stay at the Harbor View Hale! While we could tell we were in for a treat from the informative listing, the actual experience surpassed our expectations from the moment we checked in. The Hale is very conveniently located just a few minutes drive from downtown Kailua-Kona. The space is immaculately kept and very comfortable with all the amenities and furnishings you could hope for and then some. Jaan and Saima were very clear and timely with all of their communications and left great information in the Hale about the Big Island and things to do in the local area and elsewhere. Great space, great location, great hosts. We wholeheartedly recommend.

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. The entire experience (from booking to checkout) was exceptional. The property was spotless with so many extras, it would take all day to list them. The location was great. The fresh papaya from their tree was incredible. The view was excellent. Can't recommend Jaan and Saima as hosts highly enough.

Jaan and Saima's place was fantastic! You can tell that they care about creating a great experience for guests and have great pride in their rental. Lots of little extras and sweet touches made this place feel more like home, and we would absolutely rent from them again. Mahalo for a fantastic stay!

Jaan and Saima’s place is wonderful! Clean, great location and amazing view. They are very thoughtful hosts and I cannot recommend their place enough if you are staying in the area.

From the moment we booked this place we were treated like royalty. Excellent communication with lots of ideas on things to do and check in info. The description and amenities were accurate (actually the reality was way beyond our expectation). This is a one bedroom/kitchen/sitting area/shower/laundry/private balcony with a view flat in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was clean, parking was easy, free and safe. We were right up the hill from Costco. The place was equipped with everything you could need - most importantly a cooler, boogie board, beach chairs and umbrella, picnic dishes. The kitchen has necessary appliances like a good coffee maker/grinder, toaster oven, microwave, full size fridge and oven. Good knives and dishes for food prep if that's your thing and other supplies to make you feel at home. We were able to plug in our devices conveniently in every room. There's no AC but we didn't need it - there was a nice breeze plus fans in every room. We can't say enough about this place - we will be back. Thank you Jaan and Saima!

Jaan and Saima have an awesome place, well appointed with many nice touches and amenities. The lanai is large and has a great view and the multiple fans were also helpful. Lots of beach gear to use as well. Above the hustle and bustle of Kona but just a few minutes drive to “the action”. Highly recommend this place to all travelers.

The Harbor View Hale was an amazing stay. They put so much thought and detail into making you feel comfortable. The fresh fruit and breakfast were just one of the many things that made our stay extremely comfortable. Any item that you may need is there for you.. there are small labels around next to windows, and in the kitchen that help with some of the confusion on where things are and how to work them. Plus the location and view!! Could not beat that. I also loved the homemade lilikoi jelly souvenirs and Jaan makes. I bought 4 to take home! We had no trouble with parking, and most things are 10-30 minutes out. But driving in Hawaii is not like 30 minutes driving back home. Every trip feels short! The bed, pillows, furniture, appliances, flooring, everything is such nice quality. I love the table in the living room, the plants, I love the bookshelf in the bedroom and how the closet is designed. Even the hangers are the best felt hangers. From a functionality standpoint, 5 Stars!

Wow! The best airbnb I've ever seen! Thank you so much for creating such an awesome retreat/ escape! Loved using the beach supplies...snorkeling at 2 step and captain cooks! The fruit was exotic and amazing! And the treehouse is magical! Beyond description.

Amazing views from bed! The whole place is so cutely decorated and Jeff's hospitality was spectacular. Aside from the bedroom and bathroom the common spaces are outside. it was not dirty place by any means but as most out side places leafs fall and wind can blow dust. would not recommend if camping is not your thing but we loved the location and the stay!

The Treehouse was more than we expected. Feeling the air blow through the entire area was very surreal coming from a cold climate. The birds singing was a great start to the day followed by fresh eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast. The bed is very comfortable and the view from it was to die for. You won’t be disappointed. Mahalo Jeff, Lisa and Jeff British Columbia, Canada

The treehouse is absolutely magical! The view from bed is straight out of a magazine, with the outdoor kitchen, luxurious bathroom, and sitting area all delivering fantastic attention to detail. After a visit to the little farm on site to fetch fresh eggs and say hi to the pigs, you'll be wondering why you don't live there yourself! Thanks for such a great stay!

The treehouse is a perfect place to stay in Kona. It’s close to everything, the amenities are great, and you won’t find a more fun, interesting airbnb on the island. Jeff was welcoming, super easy to communicate with, and seems to be constantly improving the place. A+ would sleep again

My husband and I stayed here for our 1 year anniversary and it was unbelievable! The pictures look incredible of the tree house but in person it will truly take your breath away! Jeff was kind enough to bring us some fresh bananas and tangerines from the garden. Amazing trip!

Great place, with a stunning view. Perfect for a couple's trip. Close to the shopping center but stock your stuff beforehand and never leave the place. We were here for honeymoon and had a wonderful time!

My husband and I had an amazing experience in the tree house! Its very special place. Listening to the frogs, birds, and other wildlife was an exceptional experience. Its a beautiful place to relax, unwind, and enjoy special time together.

The location of Jeff’s place was perfect for my trip. I enjoyed the cool nights and lovely view. The bed is quite comfortable and being a tall person I really appreciated the high shower head height. The space is clean, parking in a covered garage was a plus, and being greeted by Marley, their dog, in the mornings for belly rubs was sweet. I did not have need to interact with Jeff much but he was always around so I knew if I needed anything I could easily reach him. As a solo traveler I felt safe at Jeff’s place.

This was a wonderful stay for the price. Every detail was taken care of, and it is clean as can be! Jeff was a perfect host who was very responsive and attentive during our stay! The property is lovely and we slept very well. It’s super nice to stay out of town for a couple reasons: 1. The crowds and extreme congestion don’t exist at Jeff’s place. 2. The cooler temperatures make for very comfortable sleeping. No complaints 👍🏼

Jeff is very kind and generous. The fruits available are seasonal. We were fortunate to have fresh picked papayas, avocados, guavas, dragonfruit, and bananas. As well as fresh eggs from the chickens. We loved his dog Marley and hugged him everyday. The location had an incredible view and wonderful feel. We will definitely return.

Great place. No improvements necessary.

Jeff’s place was great and he was an awesome host. He shared some “praying hands” bananas and had ample beach supplies on hand. The place is just hit enough for 2 people for a few nights as we explored Kona and the surroundings. We’d definitely stay here again.

Jeff's place was amazing. The view from the house is beautiful and Jeff allowed us to walk basically all around the property. He had chickens and pigs on the property, as well as a cute lab named Marley! We had the best time playing with Marley when we were around. The studio itself was very clean and well kept. Perfect amount of space for two of us and in a great location. The main city/beach area was only 15 minutes or so away, which made it easy for us to come back during the day if we wanted to. Overall, great place to stay.

This is a lovely small farm in a good residential area above Kona, but still convenient to the town and beaches. Jeff is an attentive host and his enthusiasm to share his love for his farm is a great bonus. This is what makes the BnB stays so much more enjoyable than a homogenous hotel experience.

If you csn, stay here

A perfect place for us. Good location for all trips, very good facilities, everything was there. The road to the house is a bit steep with a big car. We felt very comfortable. A great veranda with a wonderful view. Mahalo

Very nice location. Far from the big tourist spots, without being too far either. The location is great, in nature. Melinda was welcoming and kind. Overall the experience is good. The cleaning is done, but the walls are dirty and the couches dusty and with cat hair. 2 cats live in the house downstairs; but goes upstairs (part which is rented airbnb) and he is able to open the door. I think some visitors let him in. My allergies manifested quite a bit. But hey, I would come back to this place without asking myself the question; we liked a lot. :) Really cheap for what it is!

Breathtaking beautiful view of the valley and ocean from the wraparound porch. Kitchen has everything needed for fixing a quick meal. The sink, as mentioned previously, has been well used but functional. 2 nice bedrooms with storage. Many amenities to bath area. Owner lives downstairs and will be readily accessible if needed. Enjoyed our stay

Spacious place set up in the mountains. Quiet at night with just some nature sounds. Very peaceful.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. The lanai was a wonderful place for morning tea or sunset relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. It was a great base for jumping off into our adventures.

Really beautiful view! Spacious home. We loved having access to a full kitchen and made use of the stove, rice cooker, and coffee maker. Not as much wiildlife ambiance as other places on the island, but at night we did hear the occasional coqui or falling avocado. Driveway is a little tricky to get out of (on a steep hill, in the bend of a winding road). Would stay here again!

Very friendly hostess. Very nice view. Spacious accommodation with great amenities. Highly recommended.

This place is very convenient for activities near Captain Cook with a great view looking down at Kealakekua Bay. Its a very livable space and we greatly enjoyed our stay. The host had clear communication, was helpful while giving us lots of privacy.

We absolutely lived everything about this wonderful, magical place. We're will be back.

Beautiful property Very accommodating hosts Great appliances and amenities Perfect especially for an adventure/nature themed vacation

Absolute perfection! While the photos of the property are beautiful, the real life experience is even better. The accommodation is spotless, artfully styled and so comfortable. What the photos can't show is the serenity of the farm. I didn't want to leave, it's so tranquil and relaxing. You can tell the farm is loved and that love is infused into the house. Dinner on the balcony as the sun sets with delicious food from a local takeaway spot recommended by the host was a highlight of our trip. Thank you for the warm aloha, we hope to return again and stay for a bit longer.

This was our second time staying at The Mango Farm and it was absolutely amazing just like the first time we stayed :) Everything was well thought out and designed, in a gorgeous location with a fantastic view! We loved seeing all the animals on the farm and being enclosed by nature. The Mango Farm is truly a special place <3

We loved our stay here! Incredible ocean views, cool design, open-air feeling with walls of sliding glass doors and windows, spacious and open, and an amazing top floor master suite. Great proximity to Captain Cook (just minutes away), and close to other beaches (Two Step), and only about 20 min from Kona. Highly recommend!

It was incredible to have this place as home base during our stay on the Big Island. Loved the peaceful, retreat feel and the sounds & views were wonderful. Easy access to all we wanted to see & do. Hosts were easy to communicate with!

The mango farm is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. It was our first Airbnb Plus experience and it more than lived up to the title. It was huge, comfortable, and had gorgeous views of the ocean and surrounding Captain-cook. At times we even wished we’d planned fewer activities so that we could relax there!

This place is spectacular and very special. The architecture and interior design will live up to the expectations of any Manhattan architect !

I had a great time staying in the hostel. It is 20 mins by car from Kona and you don't have tourists there. It's good as a base where you can sleep and make trips during the day 🤙 Mahalo

Rik’s Daughter, Maianna now runs the hostel and she is very nice! She’ll pick you up and drop you at the airport for $20/each way which is super nice as the hostel is hidden a bit off the road. The place was super cute; cozy quarters in the shared guest room which featured 4 bunk beds. Ample charging outlets are provided. The place is a true farm stay with great views and various animals making all sorts of noises. Lyft ran me about $13 from the Kona Marriott back up to the hostel; you will need a car to get back and forth to town, though hitchhiking is also common and pretty safe. The makeshift outdoor kitchen features a community fridge and 2 burner hot plate so you can cook, just keep in mind that it is outside. Covered, but still outside. There is a very friendly outdoor kitty, Lola that will keep you company as you cook. Back inside, there are 2 more kitties, Moona and Meena who will also keep you company! Meena is a cuddler! Overall I had to pretty good stay. The only thing I’d comment on is a good deep clean to rid the bedroom of old cobwebs. This place is easily the most affordable in town!

Great place to stay!

Relaxing, beautiful welcoming dog. Cool location up on Hualalai coffee farm

Rik is an excellent and very informative host. His hostel is in a great location. I wish I could’ve stayed longer !

The owner is excellent, clearly answered any question, hospitable, drank coffee and fed fruit

I really had a nice time at this place: Think rustic Santa Cruz chic. The hostel has a room with two beds and a room with two sets of bunk beds. I took the latter. There were orchids in just about every room, orchids are my favorite! You'll get a great hot shower if you want one, and there's a tub out on the patio for a bath. There was plenty of drinking water and cups in my space so I didnt need to go hunting for it. There is also a dog at this place, she's quite friendly and loves having her belly rubbed. ^_^ The host was kind enough to make a space out front for my rental car, he even gave me a lift to pick it up! Super nice guy, really responsive if you have questions. Important things to note: It about a $25 Lyft ride from KOA airport. There is no public transportation along this street, so plan accordingly. If you sleep in the room with the bunk beds, there is a small fan in the room. Leave it on while you're out and keep the door closed. It super helped with the humidity and cut down the mosquitoes dramatically. Also about that room: The daytime sounds are the night time sounds....the wildlife noise was constant while I was there. I didn't mind though, I turned on a soundscape to blend with it and it became a nice sleep soundtrack. If you are sensitive to that kind of noise, wear earplugs or maybe opt for the other room if you can. Wifi worked GREAT. The neighborhood itself is pretty quiet. No need for a key, you'll have access to come back and forth whenever you want. There's also a makeshift kitchen on the patio for you to use. I would definitely stay here again!

Rik was an amazing host! He was very kind and considerate. My stay at the hostel was so relaxing and the neighborhood was very quiet. I recommend anyone who is traveling alone (which is what I did). Rik always had coffee made, which was a great touch (: I love Kona coffee! Thank you so much Rik!

Great place and location.

Clean with a great view. Microwave and hot plate to cook with. No stove or oven.

Wonderful Airbnb host. Location was a little difficult to find because of Google maps, but overall a great place to stay. Thankful for the neighbor who helped find the place in the dark.

The appartement is great and equipped with everything needed and the view is one of the best! Kathy Jo is really nice and helpful with anything asked. I would definately book again, thanks!

The view is spectacular and the sunsets are top notch. Exceptional quiet location perfect to relax and just overlook the ocean. The place is perfect for a couple and the amenities are great. The location was perfect for everything we needed. Lovely experience. Host is very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

This accommodation is very comfortable and has an amazing view of the sea and setting sun. The hosts were very helpful with quick responses to any questions. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent location to use as a base as the island of Hawai i is explored. The view from the hillside over the ocean towards the west as the Sun goes down is indescribable. Make sure your memory card has lots of space on it when you see the radiant colors and changing scenes. A grocery store is just minutes away for purchasing any/all the commodities you'd want to have and eat. A Costco is available for larger purchases and it has the least expensive gas on the island. This location is well worth the cost and the sunsets will be on our flash drive for ages.

Our stay at Kathy Jo's place was great! Not too far from the town or the harbour. The view from the back yard is amazing! The shower pressure was so nice and great after a day off diving! Kathy Jo had bread and condiments ready for us, and we cooked dinner in on the hot plate which worked very well. The beds were very comfy and the wifi worked well too. Thanks for the great stay!!!

This house is absolutely stunning with a priceless view! You will wake up to the waves washing over the lava rock in the distance as you look out over the ocean. The pool and spa is your private oasis to relax and be a step removed from the hustle and bustle of the resorts. The house is in a fully guarded, gated community making you feel as safe as can be and it is located in the perfect area within 10 minutes of everything you could want to do! Dustin is an amazing host - very responsive to all inquiries and will make sure your stay exceeds your expectations. I highly recommend this home and we will absolutely be back in the future.

We had our wedding at this amazing house! You can’t even think about petter place! Love it!

A very spacious house in a quiet location, with 3 great sized bedrooms in the main house plus a useful 2 singles in the annex. The key feature is the outdoor living area and pool, which is beautifully designed and the sunset / sea views are absolutely unmatched. We spent all of our time using this area.

My family and I stayed in this stunning Waterfall House. It was breathtaking. We loved every aspect of it and had such a wonderful stay and time! We cooked out and had such a amazing and comfortable stay that we’ll remember forever! We’ll be back! :D

It was great place and experience. All the ppl were very nice and helpful at the house. We had little Hot Water problem for the shower and bath since we have 8 ppl and couldn't have enough Hot water sometime, but other than that we had a lot of fun and really enjoyed it! I would love to come back there. Thank You!

The house is fantastic and walking in the front door to the open living space is so incredible; jaw-dropping! The location could not have been better, such a good view and only a 10 min drive to Kona. Plan on having a fun pool day! The pool was much larger than previous reviews had led me to believe but we were unfortunately unable to use the hot tub as it never got warm:( This property is beautiful and well worth the price.

What a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary! We absolutely loved our time here. The views were spectacular, the pool and water features so serene, and the flow of the space very open. The overall decor was a bit dated, but for the value and overall experience and amenities, it was wonderful. Lots of extra thoughtful touches too! Highly recommend this home for a family or several couples traveling together.

The house is amazing! You can enjoy a stunning sunset from the swimming pool.

Very friendly hosts, taking care of their home. Also we liked getting so many local tips from John. A good stay!

Very brief stay after arriving late and departing early, but John was communicative, the space was clean and the view was great!

John and Anne were super friendly hosts. Their place is in a great location not too far a drive from downtown Kona. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to check out the area!

Great place, great location and nice terrace to see the sunset. It has a small fridge, small oven and all the cutlery and plates that you need. John and Ann are very nice hosts.

This home was beautiful and very comfortable.. the backyard was cozy and the family was very sweet and accommodating.. great for the price too

John and his wife Ann are great people. We stayed in one of the bedrooms in the main house with the bathroom down the hallway. We felt like family and enjoyed our stay.

John’s guest room was exactly what our traveling family needed. The room and on suite bathroom was clean and accommodated all of our needs. His home is located close to downtown kona and only a short ride to the airport. The unobstructed view of the sunset was also a plus. If you are looking for an attentive host family, you’ll enjoy your stay at John’s place.

John and Anne were very friendly and offered to help me when I had questions about the area. The room is in a separate wing of the house so while there is activity in the rest of the house, it felt nice and private in the room. Everything was very clean, too.

Had a great time at Marc and Penny's place. They even invited me for a drink and it was nice to share stories!

Marc's place was awesome! Simple, clean, decorated with style. Within walking distance to restaurants and bar. Will definitely stay here again next time.

The Kona Oasis is amazing! Cute space with 1 bed and a bathroom, outdoor kitchen and dining space surrounded by adorable geckos. You will spend the whole trip outside, or inside with your windows open. Walking distance from everything in Kailua Kona - including beaches, restaurants, shopping. Marc is a awesome, hospitable, and super nice. He has tons of local knowledge and made great recommendations.

Marc’s place has great values for it’s price. The room is clean and comfortable with all necessities equipped. What satisfies me most is its private bathroom. It’s super convenient you don’t share bathroom with others. Moreover, you can walk to the supermarket and restaurant. Anyway, I recommend Marc’s place if you’re looking for the budget accommodation in Kona.

A great clean spot with full bathroom and an outdoor kitchen nook within easy walking distance to town and the water. Super friendly hosts will make you feel very welcome and yet give you total privacy

Super chill place. Private entrance

This place was clean and stylish. The owners were on site when we arrived and quickly answered any questions that we had. Close to town and a good place for a quick stay.

Marc‘s room is a great place to stay! It‘s near the beach, restaurants and shopping possibilities. It‘s clean and you have plenty of space in the room and bathroom.

This unit has everything. Clean and well looked after. It’s in the heart of downtown Kona. Easy to walk the street for local shopping and restaurants. Ed went out of his way to get us special beach chairs that we asked for. We would come back to this unit.

The access was simple, Edward always responded to texts and questions fast, and the area is right by the beach and a bunch of shops! Such a cool area with lots to do, right on the ocean. Will definitely be coming back!

This unit is great...an ideal price in an ideal location. It was convenient to get to places, a wonderful unit layout, and an important aspect of our two weeks on the Big Island.

Edward was such a great host for us! We only stayed with him one night. Our flight got in late, but he was still responsive when we messaged him. He was even willing to work with us on our check out time so we could enjoy our day in Kona without having to lug our bags around with us. The place was stylishly decorated, comfortable, impeccably clean and easy to access. Thank you Edward for a wonderful stay!

This clean unit is in a quiet location that it very close to the waterfront as well as many shops and stores. It was comfortably furnished inside as well as on the lanai. Edward has stocked his place with many thoughtful items and was quick to respond to our questions. The underground garage parking was very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great place and great host. After I realized that I had booked the wrong night he set me up with another of his properties at a discounted rate.

This place has a great location right next to great restaurants and shopping yet quiet.

Located very close to everything downtown. Clean, well furnished and comfortable. You can't go wrong staying here while in Kona.

Great location, close to water and to the stores! The host was very helpful and friendly! The place was clean and very nice, recommended to all!

Very comfortable and inviting space with lots of nice touches. With a rental car, very well positioned to explore the big island. We would not hesitate to stay here again on a future trip.

The Plumeria cottage is in a great location! About 5 minutes from downtown Kona and close everything (Beach, Safeway, downtown, Walmart) . Teddy and David left a guide book with extremely useful tips which was super helpful, it covered pretty much any questions you might have. The cottage was spotless , and overall beautiful!

We stayed here in February 2020, to sum it up in one word is: incredible. I was surprised at all the little touches which tied everything together. It's located between the highway and Ali'i Drive. The neighborhood feel makes it quiet and it's maybe a 10 minute ride share down to all the action on Ali'i Drive. Plumeria Cottage has so many amenities! Enjoy your stay! It's so worth every penny and moment!

Teddy and David were very gracious hosts. Super helpful and available for any questions we had about the space, or about the area in general! Next time I am back on Big Island I would stay here again.

Teddy and David have a great place. The unit is quiet, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. We really liked that they had a beach bag and beach towels for us. We will certainly come back when we visit the Big Island again!

There are safeway and Walmart near the house. And lots of tourist attractions. Very comfotable and clean house.

The perfect place for us, very clean, comfortable bed, nicely furnished and sweet details. We would love to come back!

Located in the midst of a jungle, LeeAnne’s place is a special one. Comfortably equipped and furnished, our stay in this peaceful environment was a great one. She was a great host who checked on us and made sure we were taken care of. As indicated in her listing, at night, there is the slight issue of noise from the surrounding wildlife, but nothing that is insurmountable through the closing of windows and barely the need for earplugs.

Absolutely great stay, the location is beyond beautiful and the accommodation had everything we needed. LeeAnne responded very fast to any questions we had. We recommend this listing to anyone wanting a great spot near the best beaches of the Big Island!

I loved staying here! It’s clean, well supplied, and a great location. I could easily get to the harbor for my early morning boat trips and the health food store where I picked up lunch daily. LeeAnne stopped by to say hello. She made me feel extremely welcomed. I would stay here again!

This is a nice apartment style stay that is private and clean. It’s a great location and close to town (Kailua-Kona) and the coffee farms. It is on a beautiful property. LeeAnne was extremely kind and accommodating. We had a great stay.

This was a perfect spot for us to come back to after the day’s adventures. LeeAnne’s place is quiet and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. Wish it could have been longer. Mahalo, LeeAnne!

We stayed at this beautiful spot for 11 nights while we explored the island and were in awe every time we pulled in to park! LeeAnne was very friendly, accommodating and easy to communicate with. The place had all the amenities we needed to assist in preparation for our daily adventures and provided a welcomed respite when we arrived back after a long day of exploring. The location of the rental felt very private and was exactly as described. If you read LeeAnne’s through description, there will be zero surprises- we loved it there more than we anticipated. In summation, it’s a perfect little spot, nestled away on the “hillside”, to enjoy a slice of tropical paradise. Fully recommend!

It was very nice and comfortable house! Everything is perfect with host's careful concern. Hope to stay here again!

Great stay here for 2 nights! Make sure you have a car as no other way of getting around town

This airbnb is hands down the most amazing, stylish, clean, private and comfortable airbnb I’ve been to. James provided the best hospitality, from picking fresh fruits for us, to responding quickly, and even giving us tips on things about the island. I recommend everyone to stay at this airbnb, hope to be back again in the future! Mahalo and aloha.

Awesome place! We loved our stay so much and will definetly be back! Perfect location and great outside area for dining and lounging! Highly recommend !

Great upper unit with spacious back lanai and dining on front lanai.

A great location close to everything and near the Kona airport. Super nice hosts available at anytime ready to answer your questions.

This place is amazing! One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at. Loved the updated accommodations, decor, layout of the place, etc... High end updated furniture. Our family enjoyed the two different outdoor eating areas and decks. Would highly recommend to others!

Great relaxing place. Beautiful sunsets on the front porch. Nice neighbourhood to go for regular jogs up and down the hills. Only thing they could use is some Tommy Bahama chairs and you’re all set!

Sarah and James' place was really cozy and nice. I had really great time in Hawaii because of the atmosphere, beach, fresh air, food and THIS PLACE. Their house was incredible, 'cause you can see beautiful beach and sunset when you're having dinner. And bathroom and bedroom were perfect. Also, Sarah and James sent us welcoming wine and they answered our tricky questions just in a second. :D Thank you for your hosting! See you!

This was the best AirBnB I've ever stayed in. It is sparkling clean, very spacious and offers everything you need - from kitchen amenities to beach towels. Sarah and James were very responsive and welcoming. I wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Awesome location (short walk to down town Kailua-Kona). The accomodation is lovely and the pool looked great although I only stopped in once as I preferred to hit the beach. Very comfy bed and very clean! Lovely balcony (lanai) to enjoy morning coffee.

Very cute, clean and well stocked with amazing amenities.

I was satisfied.

Soraya’s place is very nice and clean. She was very helpful and quick in response. We loved the snorkeling gear, beach chairs and tent. My husband was able to snorkel every day at different spots.

Cute studio in the heart of Kona! Easy walking distance to all the restaurants and shops on Ali’i dr! Fantastic host anything we asked for was supplied! Great sunsets across the street at the Royal Kona!

Wonderful location. I had told Soraya that we were coming to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. She has the sweetest welcoming note for us. Definitely recommend this listing.

Wonderful spot near downtown Kona. Very tastefully decorated, and it had everything we needed. Especially appreciated the coffee setup and snorkeling gear!

You can expect to arrive and be pleasantly surprised with a better equipped and larger space. And it’s near all the great spots in Kona. A 3 minute walk and you’re on the strip. Thomas
