Vacation rentals with a fireplace in South Kona

A great location, beautiful views, and a great host team.

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful place for our several days there. Fantastic view and very spacious. Several restaurants were in town. Waimea had few tourists but still was close to several small out-of-the-way towns we otherwise would not have thought of to visit.

Saul's place is perfectly named - "Peace of Paradise!" Sitting on the huge lanai, listening to the waves crash against the shoreline beneath, taking in the sweeping views of Hilo Bay and the open ocean with the palm trees swaying in front of you and tropical birds singing sweetly around you, how can you feel anything other than peaceful and happy? This is a truly special place - so lovely and private and cozy. So many places that try to maximize views and have this many windows feel cold or exposed. Not Saul's! He has anticipated all the comforts and conveniences. The warmth of the wooden furnishings and floors, the abundance of comfortable furniture, the covered roof over the lanai, and all the amenities you could want in kitchen and bathroom made us feel very well cared for and we promised ourselves we will return as soon as possible :)

Wonderful location, private with beautiful grounds. Loved watching the wildlife in the mornings. Kitchen was well stocked, had a bit of trouble with the stove, but finally figured it out. Everything looked exactly like the photos, so no surprises. Would definitely recommend, especially as the host was very helpful and responsive.

We came to Big Island to enjoy calm and recharge. Eliot's place offers just like that as his house is spacious and plenty of space between properties with peaceful surroundings. because the home sits in a large ground in suburb of Hilo. Downtown Pahoa is close so you can dine out and get shopping done easily if you want. Eliot is kind and smart owner to take care of home and our needs. He was always responsive and come back with a solution for our questions.

Our family loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the set up was perfect for our needs. We especially loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings, and falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs. The location was a further from the ocean than we realized, but we enjoyed the lushness of the hilly terrain and would stay there again. Susan and Iris were very responsive when we reported a few minor appliance issues and it didn't impact our overall experience.

Puna Rainforest Retreat Hotspring is truly one of the most beautiful Airbnb properties I’ve ever stayed at. Nestled in the lush rainforest, the property features stunning orchards, a thriving vegetable garden, and a serene trail that made our stay feel like a true escape into nature. Our host, Jacklyn, has clearly poured a lot of love and care into maintaining this special place. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, generously offering us fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the farm. It was such a unique and thoughtful touch that made our experience even more memorable. Our whole family had a wonderful time here, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the natural beauty of the property. If we return to the Big Island, there’s no question—we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a magical and relaxing getaway.

I recommend this stay ! There's privacy, private parking, no issues. Great communication!

Sally's place did not disappoint--we so enjoyed being tucked away on the Big Island. There were plenty of nearby hikes and outdoor activities. It was also incredibly easy to just stay put and relax. We used the spot to get around to various locations on the island. We also had no issues driving back at night. Super great touches we appreciated, like having water shoes, snorkeling gear, and a cooler (all things we ended up using!). Appreciated the flexibility using the shared laundry machines. Sally also proactively offered a later check out on our last day since there was no on checking in. We hadn't planned on lingering, but ended up spending a little more time with our coffee next to the pond that morning!

Great place to stay. Hot tub was a nice addition. Super close to the park.

Fantastic little spot in Volcano! We were minutes away from the park and woke up early to see the eruption. Make sure to bring in drinking water, as we forgot but luckily found a spot in town to buy some :). I’d definitely book again!

Anastasiya was very friendly and responded quickly. The condo was the perfect location for our vacation and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the golf course. It was easy to get in and out and the assigned parking was well located and convenient. I also loved the amenities like the washer dryer dishwasher etc. Overall this was an excellent experience from start to finish.
