Holiday rentals with beach access in South Kona

Scott’s place is a peaceful retreat just steps from the beach, with stunning ocean views right from the balcony. The surrounding area is beautifully natural and serene—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. While it’s a bit removed from restaurants and services, having a rental car makes exploring the area easy and convenient. Inside, the apartment is exceptionally well organized—everything is thoughtfully arranged, easy to find, and feels welcoming. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended! – Terry

This was our third visit to Kathie's place. It's a little slice of heaven for us! The beautiful sunset view from the lanai can't be beat nor the crashing waves on the seawall in front of the pool. Be sure to bring your binoculars to view dolphins and whales, a variety of boats and parasailers from the lanai. The unit is beautifully appointed with lovely artwork and furnishings. The bed is very comfortable and having A/C and ceiling fans were greatly appreciated after a long day at the beach. Kathie is a 5-star host who is very attentive and prompt to respond. We will definitely be back on our next visit to the Big Island. Mahalo to Kathie and her team.

Kathy's place was well located - just on the outskirts so you can have quiet and not far from fun. The condo itself met all of our needs. Kathy didn't leave any details out, which makes it feel like home. We'd love to stay there again soon!

The condo had everything we needed and looked just like the photos. The beach gear was a fantastic touch, making our beach days effortless and fun. The fully stocked kitchen was nice—we loved being able to buy fresh fruit and prepare it at home. The bed was comfortable, and while there’s no AC in the bedroom, the fan kept the space comfortable. The location was conveniently located - only a 2-minute drive to the closes white sand beach and 15-20 minutes to Costco and Walmart. The street outside can be a bit loud from the passing cars, so the lanai wasn’t the quietest spot to relax, but it wasn’t an issue inside, and we slept well. Check-in and checkout were seamless, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Tom was an excellent host—he was proactive and highly responsive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Overall, a well-equipped and conveniently located stay that made our trip enjoyable!

this is the third Airbnb We have stayed at on this trip to Hawaii and by far the nicest. Even though it's not right on the beach it's like a brand new studio apartment very well furnished the bed was comfortable bathroom was excellent and a nice large kitchen area. We walked down to the ocean and it was four or five blocks maybe a 7 minute walk. if we ever come back we'll definitely stay here again

We had an amazing stay! The apartment was so spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved watching the horses from the lanai and having Buddy the dog greet us everyday when we arrived back. We felt like we had the best spot on the island to watch the sunset. The sounds of the coqui frogs at sunset was absolutely amazing and so relaxing to fall asleep to. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped for self catering and it was really helpful having some things in the cupboards like spices, oil, syrup, etc. We were so sorry when it was time for us to leave!

Absolutely loved staying at Bailey’s place in Puako. It was so tranquil and gorgeous with the sound of the ocean at night and the amazing birds in the morning. The unit was very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. We were 3 people - our teenage son slept on the pull out couch in the living room - you do have to walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom. This was fine for us. I loved the screen porch!! Bailey left so much info that helped us and was responsive to any request. We would happily come back here again.

Staying at Kona Magic Sands is just amazing! Abra’s unit is one of the best! Very clean and has everything we needed. We love have a unit with a lanai and this one did not disappoint. We love being able to just walk to the beach next door. Abra provided everything we needed to enjoy our time on the Big Island. I would definitely stay here again!

Our family enjoyed our stay. It was like sleeping in a treehouse! Ocean views, beautiful sunrises, frogs singing at night, and so many stars. We had everything we needed and the hosts were very helpful with local tips. It was a magical stay!

Minh’s place is a treasure! The location looking over the ocean is breathtaking. We had the best sleep in months with the doors open and hearing the waves. Whales swam by a few times and walking to the beach was good exercise. I plan to return.

***Excellent place*** my wife, two teenage daughters and I stayed here five nights while visiting family on the big island. Probably in my top five Airbnb‘s ever. Extremely comfortable beds, cold AC, perfect location, the lanai is amazing. Kitchen has everything you would need. Yes there is noise being on a busy street, which I was concerned about, being a light sleeper. But between a white noise maker app and earplugs, I slept amazingly well. We will be back!!🤙🏼

Hi! very pretty place near magic sands beach if you like to buggy board! place was clean and was the most organized air b &b I have every stayed in! everything labeled and super well stocked ( coffee beans, pots, pans, basic cooking necessities , food storage dishes , paper towels, cleaning supplies ) . Made it so easy to live there for a few days! The only thing I din't notice on the listing was that the owners live downstairs on a separate floor / separate entrance. That being said , I did not see anyone the entire time I was there , but I was worried my kids might disturb them , and usually try and book places without owners on the premises due to my children who are still young and always tusseling with each other ( boys! ) - overall an amazing stay. and host was very responsive to any questions. Mahalo!!

Absolutely stunning home…great location and furnished with pretty much anything you could ever need. Between the hammock, ping pong table, tree house, and beach toys, it’s hard to imagine that any place could possibly be more kid-friendly. Hosts were responsive and extremely accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again, and highly recommend this property.

Beautiful place, looked just like the pictures! Peaceful and quiet, all the furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. They provided nice touches throughout to make you feel at home.

We stayed 4 days here with extended family in the smaller home on the same property and it was great. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of space for our family of 5 (larger group was 10 total) to spread out. The best part was the beach across the road with good snorkeling (stronger currents so be careful) and lagoon with turtles. Plenty of outdoor gear to borrow- SUP, kayaks, small boogie boards, water shoes and snorkel/fins. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful location with a very calm and serene pond and Koi fish! It has a wonderful porch with lots of chairs, and the bathrooms are fantastic. You are right next to the ocean and can walk right over to experience the waves and the surf. And there is a gate at the end of the driveway that helps you feel secure. It’s a very nice home and I’m glad we chose it!

The attention to detail in this updated condo is apparent. It is appointed with guests in mind--USB charging stations, water play equipment, well stocked kitchen, cooler, containers and ice for picnics... The waterfront location was great even though this isn't an ocean-facing unit, it is in a location that other occupants aren't walking by the front door, which is nice. Although we didn't use the pool, it was a nice little feature and appeared very well-maintained. We used the AC both for cooling the bedroom and to blur the traffic noise from the busy street below. It did the trick for both!

Great host and an amazing place to stay. We’ll be back again!

The unit was very clean and well maintained. It has a beautiful view of the ocean but light sleepers be aware that you can hear the waves. Great location with lots of restaurants nearby. Has convenient and free parking. The unit has been updated but the complex is a bit older

Great condo away from tourist area but not far from restaurants and grocery stores. I like being in small building instead of big resort. Well stocked kitchen and furnishings up to date. Clean and quiet. Real hot tub with jets was nice after being out on excursions all day! Kristina was very responsive and helpful. The coffee grinder broke and she had on sent to me within an hour! I would definitely stay here again if I return to the big island again!

This sweet condo was just what we needed! The pools and little porch were great and the ability to walk to the bench and see the sunset was perfect. It was so great to be able to use the umbrella and beach chairs on our outings. Great spot!

This condo is right on the water - nothing but a strip of lawn between you and the water. It has a nice lanai ( balcony) with a dining table and chairs for four and a couple of lounge chairs. The kitchen is reasonably well kitted out. Paul was exceptionally responsive and nice.

What a great find!!! Marco’s condo is everything as advertised & more! Beautiful view, quiet, clean, great new appliances. Location is easily walkable to all of Ali’i Drive. We ate breakfast on the lanai every morning, watching the paddlers, parasailers, and surfers. Complex has a fantastic pool & hot tub that are immaculately maintained. We miss it already!

Such a beautiful space! Close to everything. Would stay here again!
