Guesthouse vacation rentals in Kahaluu-Keauhou

Very nice and responsive host, the house is spacious for a family and the views of the night sky is very beautiful too!

wonderful! Don't miss. Highlights: bed extremely comfortable, great hot water and shower pressure, washer/dryer; we cooked fresh fish every night (but could have eaten it raw): from Kona Seafood Market and Choice Mart. Don't miss the view, carrot cake, Ono fish sandwich and EVERYTHING at Coffee shack cafe. Loved the Kayak rental on the corner, we saw the dolphins at Captain Cook and snorkled at 2 step beach every day! We slept so well! Even through roosters and Coqui frog (everywhere on the island). Thank you Rusty for use of the snorkling equipment - including wetsuits and EVERYTHING!

We had a wonderful stay here! The beds were comfortable and the cottage was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to prepare our own meals. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus for us to be able to clean our clothes after long days hiking or at the beach. The location feels private and the view is stunning. We loved hearing the Coqui frogs calling at night and the birds singing in the morning. Our son loved searching for (and easily finding) geckos amongst the beautiful plants on the property. We had one very minor issue during our stay and the host was very responsive and resolved the issue quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

For me personally, Maria’s place rates right at the top of all the places I’ve stayed at using Airbnb (and certainly well above any hotel stay). If you are looking for a place that is just far enough away from Kona to allow for a bit of calm, you should book Maria’s place without hesitation. It was a short albeit steep walk to Pebble Beach. We ventured out easily to Milolii, Green Sand beach (do that one early!), Hookena and Two Step beaches as well as Kona, Kealakekua, and Captain Cook. We very much enjoyed the space and it was definitely more than I thought it would be. More than that though, Maria was always approachable, responsive immediately, and a pleasure to get to know.

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!

We loved Robert's place. It is located in a quiet neighborhood on the hills (about 1200 feet elevation), straight up from the airport. It is a great location to explore the island - 10-15 minute drive to Kailua-Kona town (store & restaurants); the beaches to the north of Kona are easy to reach (I think the closest one we drove to was about 15-20 minutes); great coffee farm to visit about 10 minute drive away (Mountain Thunder), two hours to Volcano National Park (we did a day trip) and slightly less than two hour drive to the Green Sand Beach hike. Robert and Fran live upstairs. They are super friendly and ready to help, but let you do your own thing. The house is well-equipped and Robert has beach supplies that he shared with us. Great ocean and sunset view too. No AC but the temp felt just right given the elevation. We would love to go back!

country feel.a get a way from hustle and bussell of traffic. close to best snorkeling

Would highly recommend this place to stay!! Very clean and tranquil. The hospitality of Hannah was greatly appreciated. Communication was great and the ease of directions was amazing.

Stay was amazing, great view, very beautiful and peaceful ! Very clean, you have your own space, great communication ! I would recommend for sure.

Welcoming and friendly on-site hosts, nice open air kitchen and dining area for meals, central location for west side of island, and a place that now feels like an island home away from home.

Great location in the Kona area. Super close to Da Poke Shack (amazing food) and Magic Sands (cute beach). And Na Na is extremely friendly and helpful!

Mike and Melissa (and Sheryl!) are wonderful hosts, and their place is spacious and comfortable—me and my dog, Margot, felt instantly at home. They were super friendly with great recommendations, and the apartment is private and quiet, yet super convenient to town and all of Kona’s lovely beaches. Would recommend to anybody!

We had such an incredible stay at Guava Cottage. It felt like home, the space was well-appointed and we loved the garden and pool. Hosts were very helpful, friendly and gave us plenty of personal space. Pet’s on site were a special treat! Highly recommend staying here.

Amanda’s place is the perfect retreat for anyone that wants to experience the island like a local but also couldn’t give up on the view lol. I enjoyed my stay a lot! Making a papaya bowl with the view, working with the view, and wake up to see the most beautiful sunrise.

Lovely place to stay. Quiet and peaceful with great view. It is a recently built house that is nicely laid out with clean interior. Breezes provide the cooling but there is AC that we didn’t need. Family lives next door with three young boys. Great place to raise kids and they are very well behaved. It’s in the middle of Kona coffee farms which are really fun to visit (Greenwell does a really nice farm tour and Buddha’s Cup is worth the drive with the best coffee we tasted). Nice breakfast places nearby (Coffee Shack and Menehune Coffee are a must visit). Finally, take the short drive to the Manini beach for the sunset. Spectacular. I highly recommend staying here.

Paradise Perfected. From our first communication with Janet and Jen we felt great about staying with them. Their place was cozy and right up the street from a lovely beach. Perfect location for exploring the Big Island. Everything we needed for our time in Hawaii. Can’t wait to come back.

Jim was very friendly and helped make the check in process very easy! His place was beautiful and extra points for the hot tub!!! We would definitely stay again!

Hannah’s Airbnb is the perfect home base for exploring the big island. Easy check-in/check-out with clear instructions, clean space, comfy bed, and prompt communication when questions come up. Appreciated having the AC and the small things like a cooler, beach chairs, towels, etc. Her description of the place is accurate- it’s small but perfect for when you’re spending the whole day outside exploring and just need a place to sleep. Would highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

We was really happy and love the amazing view. We had everything what we needed and it was perfect to have beach Chairs and sun umbrella. We come back…Thanks🤙🏝️🌤️

This is the BEST Airbnb we have ever stayed at!!! The quality of each and all of it was excellent! It is absolutely beautiful inside and out with windows and screen doors you can leave open for island breezes. There are helpful perks everywhere you turned, from fresh fruit to snacks, the use of body board and beach chairs and towels, and full kitchen. We cannot give this place enough stars! The sunset view was gorgeous. . There is privacy in the lush surroundings and obvious super safe neighborhood while being only a few minutes from the airport, Walmart, Costco, restaurants and shops plus beautiful beaches, make this the ideal location! Hosts were super communicative, proactive and we so appreciate not having a cleaning fee added on! I would take hours listing all the extra perks that helped us be able to just enjoy this vacation! We see why this was one of the highest rated Airbnbs around! They deserve 10 stars 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩!!!

Christyn & Caleb made our stay so welcoming and comfortable. They are excellent hosts, and their home has so much of the island qualities we had hoped to experience. We look forward to returning in the future to this new happy spot.
