Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kailua-Kona

A great area to stay at - I'm really glad we chose this Airbnb! The cooler weather was welcome and mountainous scenery was beautiful.

Lovely location, thoughtful amenities and a wonderful Lanai, (porch) where we were able to sit and have breakfast or best, view the sunsets every night.

We had a great time staying here. The view from the bedroom was beautiful, pictures don’t do it justice. I’ve stayed at a lot of airbnbs, and several others in Kona and this one is definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite. We loved it so much I was gonna extend the stay unfortunately was unavailable this time. The hosts and ray were all friendly. Hope to stay again

Really appreciated Joseph’s fast response in offering for us to check in early!

It was a great place close to the airport while having easy access to everything. Very clean and the beach equipment was amazing to have during our stay. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful 7 day stay. Our 3 boys (16, 13, and 10) spent hours on the diving board and in the pool. Sandra’s place had everything we needed for beach trips, including beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and beach towels. I was so happy to have a washing machine to wash out the sandy towels and suits after our beach trips. It was a 5-10 minute trip for Costco,-target and Walmart and a 30-40 minute trip to Hāpuna Beach (don’t miss the Malsada stand on the highway on your way). We would come back to the house to cook supper, swim more in the pool, and watch the sunset from the beautiful yard. We also got a lot of use out of the basketball net in the driveway, and volleyball net in the side yard. Sandra was extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay, including local recommendations. Would definitely stay again if on the Big Island!

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.

Amazing views of the ocean from the lanai—enjoyed the bird songs, frog mating calls, zealous baby chicks, protective hens, friendly neighbor dog—and comfortable lodging for 3 adults. Really appreciated being able to borrow the beach towels, beach chair/umbrella and cooler too.

Our stay was prefect and incredibly peaceful! it felt like staying with a friend or relative. There were so many wonderful touches. The major draw was the beautiful creek and waterfall and falling asleep with the windows open and the sounds of the jungle. It was tucked away and a wonderful glimpse of local living. A few notes for other travelers: there are other rentals on the property; however, we did not see anyone else besides Darrin upon arrival. Also, this is not one of those sterile, squeaky clean airbnbs that you might be useful. Its definitely super clean but has a "real house" sort of feel. Also, no AC as far as we could tell but it was very cool (and I run hot!) Also, the value for island accommodations was awesome and much appreciated! Darrin was extremely kind to ensure we had a crib for our little ones and even left fresh bananas on our doorstep in the morning - our toddler LOVED opening the door to see this surprise. Oh! and the bed was glorious! Mahalo!

I enjoyed my stay in Kona. This place was exactly as advertised and looked just like the pictures. Thomas was super proactive and responsive to all of my needs. Check in was easy and clear instruction for check in and check out were provided. Amenities included a wide selection of beach items which was fantastic. Location was wonderful with walkable access to several popular but never crowded beaches. Private parking was a plus. I recommend.

Really liked this place. easy walk on alii drive to restaurants and local spots. 2-3 local beaches nearby. pool and the black rocks behind it with the ocean view was beautiful at sunset. Exactly what was expected! Safe area. Loved the extra touches like the macadamia nut pancake mix :)

Wow and wow! Joyce and Zac have gone above and beyond to create a space that is comfortable and private. While the accommodations are indeed attached to their home, the retreat presents like a private apartment. The kitchen is well-stocked, making it easy to cook in for meals, if desired. Nothing has been forgotten concerning the little touches that make traveling easier, so we would consider this rental much better than a hotel. There is no air-conditioning, but numerous fans are provided and we were comfortable during our June stay. The online pictures very accurately depict what you'll see when you arrive. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We whole-heartedly recommend this rental and plan to return on our next trip to Kona.

Best place we could have stayed. The amenities were above what we expected. Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas, cold filtered water, everything was extremely clean like what you’d expect at a very nice hotel. Spacious parking. Grill if needed and a full kitchen. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Great size closets and lots of room for all your luggage. Even the TV access was a great perk. So many local shops and markets to visit within less than 5 minutes away. If we come back, we would definitely stay again and refer to anyone else visiting the Big Island. Our room was on the third floor and it provided the most beautiful view of the ocean with lots of patio space.

We had a fantastic stay at Adam’s peaceful home near Kona. The property is quiet, beautifully maintained, and just a 7-minute drive to town — the perfect mix of nature and convenience. The space was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and the relaxing hot tub. Honestly, the hot tub was even more soothing than an onsen we’ve experienced in Japan — especially with the surrounding sounds of birds and rustling trees. The full kitchen made it easy to cook, and we loved having dinners outside under the stars. The deck and garden felt like a private retreat — calm, lush, and peaceful. Nature’s sounds at night were magical. Adam was an amazing host — warm, responsive, and thoughtful. And his sweet dog and cat made us smile every time we saw them — they added a lovely, homely touch. We highly recommend this place to couples looking for a quiet, cozy escape on the Big Island. We’d love to return. Mahalo!

It's the house of my dream. Everything in the house is taken really good care of by Priscilla and Rob, and the house is definitely one of my favorite places in Kona. I really hope that I can come back soon, and I will bring you a small gift from China, Priscilla~~💜

Overall this was a really great stay - the hosts were very responsive, the Airbnb was spotless, and it was well stocked with everything you could need.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay! The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It had a great view of the ocean, sunset, walking distance to a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and along the beautiful coastal strip. We felt right at home and it was a great place to experience The Big Island 🏝️ Mahalo!

I stayed here for nearly a week at Kirk's condo and I am very satisfied with the place. It's located in a central area close to the Kailua Boardwalk and a few resorts. He's also transparent and very communicative on the check in and check out processes. I highly recommend Kirk's place if you want to stay in Kona. Mahalo nui loa Kirk!

Beautiful stay. Beautiful majestic views and conveniently located close to the airport and Kona activities. The place was clean and had everything one could need. The kitchen was useful for cooking our own meals and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. I also loved seeing the little animals in the neighbors yard next door. The place had extra towels, blankets and other supplies you may need that made this place a great stay. I highly recommend.

Charlie’s place was perfect for a weekend staycation. Beautiful ocean view, swimming pool was great, and a quick walk to Magic Sands beach. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals and the a/c was nice but actually the fans kept it cool.enough that it wasn’t needed. Charlie was quick to respond to any questions and instructions were helpful and clear. Would definitely recommend staying at this magical AirBnB!

Our stay here was perfect. Location was amazing right by the beach at a peaceful community, great for viewing sunrise/sunset. The place was just as pictured, very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

We read reviews about bugs and a bad smell, however we had no issues with either. Place felt very clean and smelled great, has all the amenities and appliances that we needed. Even had a boogie board in the closet that we could use which was fun! Overall great place, right by tons of restaurants and stores as well as the shoreline.

I stayed for work and booked very last minute. Dorothys place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I was very happy that the ac worked well, it was hot outside.

This Airbnb was a lovely find! We especially enjoyed the little balcony, the accessibility to shops and restaurants, and the ease of check in.
