Waterfront holiday rentals in Kona

Enjoyed our stay! The unit was clean, well furnished, and several fresh flowers were placed throughout. The host left a nice card and a bowl fresh fruit. Enjoyed eating breakfast on the private balcony overlooking the coast. The host provided concise instructions about location and how to check in. Thanks for a great stay.

I already find myself missing this wonderful place! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The property is impeccably clean and beautifully furnished, equipped with everything we could possibly need for a perfect vacation. The breathtaking view was a highlight, and it was such a pleasure to enjoy it from the spacious and lovely terrace. We also appreciated the excellent amenities, including the well-maintained pool and BBQ area, which added to our great experience. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your amazing place!

Great place to stay and it has everything you need from cooking to beach day Very responsive host and very helpful 15 min -20 min ( because of traffic with local speed limit 15 miles/ hour) about to get to main grocery store like Costco Walmart etc But nicely located in middle of major attractions

We chose Chris's place for the gorgeous view and nearness to the ocean. We were not disaeppointed; we spent all the time we were there, except for sleeping and showering, on the lanai, looking out on the ocean. We fell easily asleep to the sound of the waves. The sea breeze and the fans were sufficient to cool the apartment. When it was time for us to leave for the airport, we packed our car and gave ourselves some extra time to just sit on the lanai one last time, loving the view. I don't think I will ever forget it. We were impressed by the well-stocked kitchen and most appreciative. Beyond salt, pepper, and evo, there were spices and condiments, rice (and a rice cooker!) and soy sauce, and even some cocktail makings. The pots and pans and knives were excellent. It was no struggle at all to prepare meals and clean up with the help of a full-size dishwasher. An initial stop at a 24-hr safeway and one more trip were all we needed, plus a trip to an amazing fishmonger.

The location is excellent, and the view is absolutely stunning! You can enjoy beautiful ocean scenery throughout your stay. However, please note that the sound of the ocean waves can be quite loud, and the soundproofing in the hallway is not perfect. If you are particularly sensitive to noise, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay for its unbeatable location and views!

Close to town, beautiful view of the ocean & crashing surf right out the living room window, and great hosts! Note, the unit (even in January) got a little warm in the afternoon but they have fans and AC, which we didn’t run, so don’t imagine there’s a problem. Great spot, would definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was just as described and very clean. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the lanai every night! A great place to stay when in Kona!

What a great place to stay! We also discovered the condo also has a couple of boogie boards and beach chairs as well as a small cooler - that was a great find. It should also be noted that the association is focused on being quiet and peaceful - no music and limited phone use on the Lanai's and public spaces - that was also really nice as you could focus on the waves and beautiful views. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME

One of the most beautiful lanai we have been seen in Hawaii. I admire Mark and his family for keeping this place beautiful and tidy as it requires countless efforts.

Peter and Lori’s property is a little slice of paradise! We loved lounging around the property and watching everything going on in the bay. From boat tours to surfers, it was just so serene to be right on the water. You can’t get better than that! Plus, the mango cottage had everything we needed to make our stay that much more enjoyable. We were sad to say goodbye but hope to come back again!

Fantastic location. Kitchen was fully stocked. Sunset views were amazing. Master bed room was quite a bit more spacious than the other two rooms. Don’t expect any privacy with the other two rooms since it was only divided by a thin sliding door. Note for light sleepers, loud car noises throughout the night. The street is very busy, take care when entering and leaving the driveway.

The place comes with everything you need, and the location is great if you want to make a stop from Kona to volcano. it's also close to green beach and south point. Overall we had a nice stay here.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melanie’s hospitality or the place itself. Amazing views and the house is stocked with everything you might need. Ping pong table was a huge hit and pool/hot tub were just what my family needed to relax and reconnect. The view of the ocean is unbelievable. Completely recommend staying here.

Great place to stay, especially with little ones. Has everything you need for beach days. Hosts were accommodating, home was clean.

The Pagoda House is a destination in itself! We explored the island from there, but also spent time just hanging out in the garden and pool. GORGEOUS! It was well appointed for our extended family gathering.

Beautiful home and location was perfect! Home is across from beach and we loved watching the surfers and snorklers as well as the amazing sunsets. An unexpected surprise was how much we enjoyed the outdoor shower. The home also had everything you would need for a day at the beach from boogie boards to beach chairs and towels. Would definitely stay there again!

...to plagiarize a comment I saw stated in another review: stop looking and book this place! This is the one! A+++ If you have found this option based on the criteria you think you need, there is likely no better place. The location is ideal. The view of the ocean & pool is incredible--the mesmerizing surf and scenery cannot be matched. A special note: This home provides three of the most comfortable beds that might exist within the Hawaiian Islands. Also--the front foyer is chock full of everything you need for beach fun... EVERYTHING...which was so helpful and reduced expense significantly. The efforts made by the host are very notable and appreciated. (I dig air conditioning--this place has it and it works wonderfully.) We hope to return to the Big Island and if we do this will be the first place we consider to stay again. This condo is close enough to anything and far enough away from everything--it will suit anyone...and really is a perfect vacation home. Mahalo!🤙😎

This property is conveniently located within walking distance of many excellent restaurants and shops. We enjoyed walking through the town each night and dined in some of the best restaurants that we found on the island. The first night there we walked a couple of blocks to Huggo’s and had the best meal of the entire trip. We stopped in early and were able to get a table overlooking the crashing surf. The food and ambiance were amazing.

This place was perfect to stay at while we were there for my son’s tahitian competition. it had everything we needed while we were there. The only minor minor thing that was not mentioned was that there are 2 steps after you get off the elevator in order to access the front door, so if you have a stroller or wheelchair you do need to keep that in mind. but other than that stay was awesome!

Gorgeous water front location in Kailua Kona... Great spot

Terry has done it again! This was our second year staying at Terry’s well equipped and beautiful condo. Again we enjoyed daily whale watching right on the beach as well as sea turtles feeding on the shoreline. You will be in need of nothing at Terry’s hideaway as he has truly thought of every guests’ needs. In fact Terry reached out to us prior to our arrival offering to pick up anything we needed as we had a late flight. Our flight going home didn’t leave until late at night and Terry allowed us to check out late as well! Mahalo again Terry. Stay blessed 🌺😌

Booked a last minute trip to Big Islans and Jenna was very accommodating to allow early check in and let us use the beach chairs and towels. The home is charming and cozy as described. It’s a convenient drive into town. Make sure to take a walk to the back to see the ocean views!

Thank you Paul for making this Airbnb experience so memorable. Paul communicated well regarding location, instructions for entering the condo and things to do in the area. The condo and its location are fabulous!! There is so much to do in Kona but just sitting on the balcony and enjoying the beautiful ocean view will be some of my favorite memories!

We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to rent again from Marco. The condo was well equipped for cooking and relaxing. There were only two of us so we couldn't comment on the sleeper sofa. The washer and dryer were convenient and worked well. Marco always responded quickly to our questions and concerns. The views out to the pool and shore were excellent.
