Mango Hale Cottage
Nice little place, friendly host! Great beaches both walking and driving. I had a wedding over at the Fairmont Orchard and as the crow flys it's very close.

Great Location: Volcano to Hilo
Kerrine was an absolutely fantastic host! From the moment we arrived, she made sure everything was perfect. The space was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. She was super responsive and gave us great local tips that made our trip even more special. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great experience. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend booking with her if you get the chance!

Sunset House by the Sea
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!

Ocean View with a view
A great little hideaway. It's out of the way from any busy area, there is a great restaurant nearby. The garden was full of plant life which was great to walk round and see. Lovely and quiet and peaceful

Holualoa Ekahi -Country guest house,Taxes included
We stayed just one quick night here after landing on the island. It was a great little space. Very clean, seemed brand new, convenient to town, and you could see the ocean from the cute front porch. The bed was very soft, like a cloud you melted into. Normally I don't like soft beds but this one was nice. It is a stand alone space but wasn't quite as private/secluded as I thought. In case someone wanted more privacy, but it wasn't an issue for us. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Spectacular Views of Kailua-Kona
This location has it all. A close drive to Kona and everything the island has to offer with amazing views of the beach, birdwatching and stargazing. Karrie’s chickens even supplied the morning breakfasts. 10/10 would stay again!

Kealakekua Bay Bali Cottage -steps from Bay
Really unique and relaxing place. Karen and Ron were very welcoming and hospitable. We seemed to be there on the rare days when the sky was dumping buckets, so the outdoor areas got a little damp. The kitchen is fully equipped, bed super comfortable. Bathroom and shower are awesome. The backyard and entire decoration on the property are just amazing. Quick walk to Manini beach with awesome snorkeling and knowledgeable friendly caretakers. Things to note, as it is noted in the description: this is glamping. You're out in nature, geckos chase each other on the walls while you eat, flies, mosquitos, spiders, ants all exist. Birds wake you up with their songs at first light, etc. TL;DR Would visit again

“Special Rate” Private, Waimea Ohana (Guest House)
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!

Ocean Front Jungalow at Kualoli Retreats
My stay was magical - exactly what I was looking for. Her place is simply an amazing location - a very undeveloped area in a rainforest right on the ocean. The sleeping accommodations were wonderful, and the kitchen had everything that I needed for my stay. I spent 11 memorable nights there. It was a definitely a "glamping" type experience - perfect if you are looking for a quiet, reflection-filled nature immersion experience or retreat.

Kailua Surf Shack: Your Hawaiian Adventure!
Had a fantastic stay! The hosts were incredibly friendly and communicated proactively, making everything smooth and easy. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made our trip even better. They also provided everything you could need for a beach day, including surfboards, snorkels, beach chairs, and umbrellas. Highly recommend!

Romantic waterfall cabin in the rain forest
When we decided to come to Hawaii, we had already explored so many beaches and were really craving a deeper connection to nature and that’s exactly what this place gave us. Tucked away in the rainforest, the cabin is surrounded by lush greenery, the soothing sound of a running waterfall, and the sweet calls of birds echoing through the trees. The cabin itself sits perched on a ledge overlooking the waterfall , an absolutely magical view to wake up to. Every morning, we enjoyed coffee on the porch, completely immersed in the sights and sounds of the forest, often greeted by curious wildlife and even the occasional mango falling nearby. Even with a few other cabins on the property, we felt completely tucked away and had so much privacy throughout our stay. It felt like our own little rainforest sanctuary. If you’re looking to unplug, recharge, and feel truly grounded in nature, this cabin is pure paradise. We left feeling inspired, refreshed, and deeply grateful for this experience.

Beach Road Hale
This place was AMAZING!!! The location was perfect, place was roomy, spotless, and so many details in the unit. Jordan was always available to communicate with and everything went super smoothly. Very happy I chose Jordan’s place over anything in town. Close enough to groceries, cafes, and Volcanoes National Park but so private and quiet. Having the trailhead to Shipman’s Beach just steps away was the icing on the cake. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend booking it!!! Thank you Jordan and family and májalo

Cozy Vintage Inspired Hawaiian Guest Cottage
We had a great stay at Andrew’s place. It was extremely clean with great amenities, and convenient to beaches, gym, supermarkets (less than 15 minutes) and quiet and peaceful. Andrew let us borrow his beach equipment (chairs, umbrella etc) which was really helpful. It is also only about ten minutes to a coffee plantation, and convenient for day-trips including to Mauna Kea (about an hour drive). I highly recommend this AirB&B.

Amazing Kona Coast Ocean View-King Bed
The view is incredible. It’s a few degrees cooler than Kailua-Kona so it is more comfortable. Michael and Amanda are great hosts and the most enjoyable to talk with. The French Press was a unique touch that shows they go above and beyond to provide a peaceful relaxing environment.

Modern, Peaceful & Private 1-BR Oasis/Ohana
We had a fantastic stay! Cate was such a kind and welcoming host, always responsive and helpful. The place had everything we needed—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

Shipman Bch Trail@Kaloli, Large ,Modern Studio,AC
Loved our stay! The host was so friendly and gave us some suggestions of things to do locally. We tried some of her recommendations and had a great time. Property looked just like the photos and they definitely thought of every detail. There were so many "extras" and they really thought of all the small details. It was nice to see that they had ice chests, beach bags, snorkel gear, chairs, etc available for us to use. My husband got blisters on his feet after a long hike and they even had a box of bandaids in one of the drawers. The neighborhood was quite and very nice. We'd love to come and stay again!

Upcountry Alpaca, Llama, and Rabbit working farm
We had a lovely stay at Cottontail Cottage for 5 days. The cottage was clean and well-equipped with a kitchen and lovely furnishings. We enjoyed the cooler weather, farm environment, and the animals in our backyard. As hikers we loved the access to Haleakala and the trails, and everything else was around a 40 minute drive away. Christine was also kind enough to give us a tour of the farm animals, which was a highlight of my trip as an avid knitter! Such a serene environment and we'd love to stay again.

Lani Wai Ka Napo'o
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.

Big Lanai w/ outdoor living! Ocean view & breezes!
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.

Amazing Sunset / Ocean View, Beautiful New Home
Very nice and responsive host, the house is spacious for a family and the views of the night sky is very beautiful too!

South Maui Oceanview Solo Cottage
Review Title: Amazing Stay in Maui! I had a fantastic experience at this Airbnb in Maui! The open layout and stunning views made my mornings and sunsets on the patio unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided excellent support throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place for a perfect getaway!

Holualoa Country Home
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.

HALE PAMA - CENTRALLY LOCATED - AFFORDABLE LUXURY
This is our 3rd time back to Charles's place and we are always so happy to get there. Everything is as promised and super clean. We really enjoy using the BBQ, the 2 lanais and there is lots of room for everything. Charles & Kathy are very welcoming & friendly hosts and we can't wait to come back again!! =)

The Ohana
We had a great staying at Linda's. Clean and cozy room and unique bathing area. Bed is super comfortable, we arrived really late and Linda kindly accommodate us with a late check out, will definitely be back soon for a longer vacation! THANK YOU Linda!
