Charming Kailua-kona Apartment Near Hiking & Golf!

3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (4)
"Very nice place but no A/C. This is a downer for a 58 y/o menopausal woman. But, it really wasn’t a problem because it cools down at night and there were plenty of fans!"

Kailua-Kona Cottage < 1 Mile to Magic Sands Beach!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (59)
"Great stay, great location, and quiet neighborhood. The property has everything one needs. My only suggestion would be to put black out curtains on the east side of the bedroom, including the top windows, since the sun rises early."

Holualoa Studio Cottage - GIANT OCEAN VIEW! Cool, private, near town

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (124)
"Billy and Berta were amazing hosts!! This place has everything you need for an amazing stay in Holualoa. The frogs offered a great natural white noise to sleep to, but they also have ear plugs available if they are too loud for their guests. Beach gear, snorkel gear, beach towels, iron, ironing board, French press, coffee grinder, water kettle, extra fans, detergent, after-sun…were just a few of the things available we took advantage of. It’s way from the tourist areas, but still close enough to...

Private Cottage In The Rain Forest TA065882726401

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (115)
"From the house photos, and location at 2,500 feet, we were expecting rain every afternoon, but only saw it clouding over in afternoon and on two days had clear blue skies to sunset. The deck was very wet in the morning with dew. It is a lovely house, with a great deck to enjoy breakfast from, set in a beautiful, extensive, private, tropical garden, which we loved walking around. We enjoyed the great, very peaceful, relaxing, location that was within a ten minute drive down the hill to Kona, and...

BIG ISLAND PLUMERIA COTTAGE New AC! Ideal Couples Getaway in Magical Puako!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (94)
"Loved everything about this place! The location is great. We walked across the street to watch the sunset every evening, always a stunning show. The house was easy to live in, equipped with everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the lanai which looks toward the ocean. There’s beach equipment, and the beaches are a very short drive from the house. There’s also a park at the end of the street where you can get in the water if you’re on the more adventurous side. The property managers are...

Craftsman Cottage on 6 forested acres

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (80)
"Absolutely OUTSTANDING in all respects! The property is lovely in the cloud forest. The house is extremely clean and well maintained, especially for the environment. Kathryn was excellent and brought fresh eggs for us to enjoy. That being said; first night - Coqui Frogs were a bit hard to handle. Wife was ready to pull a "My Cousin Vinny", except we didn't have a hand gun. By the last night she was actually in love with the forest sounds and misses them at night. We truly hope we are blessed...

BIG ISLAND BLUE MAKAI, Oceanfront 2BR in Puako! Beautiful sunsets in paradise

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (62)
"This is a classic Hawaii oceanfront home. If you're looking for modern, then this isn't for you. Reminds me of how the Big Island was when I was a child.... which is exactly what we were looking for. Was everything the listing shows it to be. Peaceful location. We would come back to this home again."

Castle Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa

4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (664)
"Hali’i Kai a quiet resort tucked into the Waikolo area. Its townhomes stretch from oceanfront, back to golf views. Watch for whales from its beautiful, family-friendly pool. Food and drink options, as well as a small gym are also located there. Our units furnishings were somewhat dated, but clean and comfortable. A beach cooler, sand toys, and boogie boards were available for our use. If you’re looking for a smaller, more private resort, I’d definitely recommend Hali’i Kai"
