Private suite vacation rentals in Kailua-Kona

The apartment was well-appointed with every amenity needed for a pleasant stay. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet and secluded yet walking distance to two beautiful beaches and close to nice restaurants. Liz was very quick to respond to questions and very helpful.

It’s conveniently located close to the airport. Easy check in/out. We also appreciated being able to do some laundry. Thanks Ania and John!

Our family had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful home on the Big Island! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely at ease. The house was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need — from beach towels and snorkeling gear to a fully equipped kitchen perfect for family meals. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying coffee with a view each morning was pure magic. The location was ideal — close enough to explore beaches, and local spots, yet peaceful and private enough to feel like a true retreat. Our hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, offering great recommendations and making sure our stay was seamless. We created memories here that our family will cherish forever. If you’re looking for a home away from home in paradise, this is it! Mahalo for everything — we can’t wait to return!

We had a great stay at Lorelle Petite Retreat apartment. We loved the location being on the hill; it was nice, cool and tranquil. The space was clean and well shocked. Lorelle is a very generous, friendly person.We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Would certainly stay again. Well-located home base near Kona, close to everything but outside the main hustle and bustle. Easy checkin. A few other reviewers mentioned some loud neighbors - I experienced nothing like that. Place was just as described and perfect for my needs. Thanks!

I loved my stay at Francesca's place. It's located very close to the airport and easy to find, which was a huge relief after a long day of travel. The spot itself is very comfortable, quiet, and peaceful. The dedicated parking spot and laundry available were also very convenient for my 2 week stay. Highly recommend and would stay again

Serenity Hale was an exceptional find! Everything that was stated in the description was accurate. The view is unparalleled! 40 mile vistas into the horizon or look down the coast towards Southpoint. The property was very quiet and secluded at the end of the neighborhood. We also enjoyed spending time with Mojo the dog. Jim let us run a load of laundry mid-week. We used the grill with the kitchen plates and utensils provided. Overall, a great place and great value.

Great stay! Full kitchen, lovely backyard space, very comfortable beds. Simple, clean, very quiet and had everything we needed. Really awesome being able to borrow beach chairs, umbrella, boogy boards, etc. for the beach. Highly recommend

The air bnb was absolutely amazing. It was equipped with everything you will need to cook and the pictures don't do the view justice. It was better than we could have imagined and Amanda was very quick with answering any questions we had. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

I can't say enough about how great this place is. It's beautiful, inside and out. It's actually the nicest Airbnb we've ever stayed at. Really, everything is top-notch, down to the products Jennifer uses, the availability of laundry facilities, and the friendliness of the host. Jennifer was so accommodating, bringing us veggies and fruit from the garden, and even bringing us something we left behind to the next place we were staying in town. I was a little intimidated by the steep driveway at first, and I wouldn't recommend showing up for the first time after dark, but I quickly adapted. The place is so quiet and peaceful, and I would say the pictures on the website don't even capture how lovely it is. I would definitely stay here again if we're fortunate enough to return to the Big Island.

Good comfortable private place. Very much like checking in and out of a hotel room but with self check in.

I am so glad to have found this wonderful poolside bungalow for my long weekend. It’s tugged away in a little corner of this island paradise in a quiet neighborhood. Self check-in was quick and easy. The room was spotless clean, very comfortable and well thought out. There is even a water cooler/dispenser by the pool which, by the way, is for my exclusive use and made the place even more special. James & Rocky were warm and welcoming without being intrusive. James came by with a very nice welcome treat and that was the last time I saw anyone during my stay, though I knew they were right there if I ever needed anything. Internet was OK when it worked but be ready for the occasional spinning icons. But then, who cares?! I was supposed to be unplugged in this perfect get-away hideout. Mahalo nui, James and Rocky.

We had a great stay at Ruth’s place - it was clean, quiet, and centrally located for us to explore the island. Ruth had equipped the place with everything you might need - from cooking appliances, tea and coffee, to beach towels and chairs. We had a lovely time and will plan to stay again next time we vacation in the Kona area!

We had a nice 3 day stay in the loft. It is nice, has a great view and is a short drive away from beaches and generally everything on the West coast. I would stay here again.

Mary was an amazing host. Her property was immaculate and much larger than I anticipated. We had plenty of room for my family and felt very comfortable. The neighborhood is safe and we were able to sleep with the windows and sliding door open for the fresh cool air. Having two bathrooms was a huge plus and there was a washer and dryer as well. Top notch service from our host who went above and beyond for us. I loved all the attention to detail. There were nice ceiling fans in each room. Plenty of towels and wash rags. One of the most thought out rentals I have stayed in. I would highly recommend Mary’s place to stay if you’re on the Big Island. Mahalo Mary, for your hospitality!

This was the perfect place for me to stay traveling alone! Bed was very comfortable and it was really everything I wanted. Close to everything, will definitely return when back to the big island!

We had a great stay at the mango farm! Particularly loved the kittens and Jiji! Cozy and relaxing.

We had a lovely stay at this cozy little studio tucked away behind the main house. It’s a tiny home, but incredibly well-equipped — it had everything we needed, from barbecue burner grill and washer/dryer to beach chairs and even a first aid kit, which really shows the hosts have thought of everything. The space itself is super clean and comfortable, and the private covered patio was a perfect spot to relax with a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The backyard is beautiful and peaceful, with fruit trees and even a few chickens roaming around. Despite feeling like a quiet retreat, the location is also very convenient — just about 15 minutes from restaurants and grocery stores. Overall, it was a perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and accessibility. Would recommend to anyone who visits around Kona.

This was a great place outside of the resort area. Wendy was a great host and left us some fresh fruit which was delicious. It was a short walk down to the beach and we saw tons if turtles. The place was well stocked with beach towels and gear, and there was laundry available which was a plus for us. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking to explore beaches in this area while staying somewhere a little more off the beaten path.

This property is a hidden gem. We spent 5 glorious, magical nights here. Our host, Paul was welcoming and you can tell he really cares that his guests have what they need. The space is wonderful. We only needed the ac once when there was no wind. The other times you only need the tradewinds. We really enjoyed moving from space to space when it was too hot or too windy. Whatever we were doing for the day, we looked forward to coming back to this place and settling in as we watched the sunset. If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, do it. You won’t be sorry.

Kona Mountain Refuge was absolutely amazing we really enjoyed our time here. Beautiful view overlooking the stars, the views were incredible! Beautiful kitchen, comfortable bed. They had all amenities for a beach, chairs, umbrella, snorkeling, after sun care. Beautiful stay on the Kona side thank you so much!!

I arrived in Kona earlier than expected and wasn’t sure where to stay, but thankfully the host allowed an early check-in, which made everything so much easier. The place was clean, comfortable, and made for a great stay. Thank you!

Awesome place to stay! Entire place is bamboo which is super unique. I will be back to stay at this place again soon!

The house was great, and the views were amazing! The co-hosts were awesome also! It’s an hour drive to Kona, which isn’t terrible and an hour and a half to the volcano. Plenty to look at and do in the area, and I would definitely recommend this beautiful home
