Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Kona

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

First thing I must say is that the beds were very comfortable! The location was great, not too far from Kona activity but far enough away you can feel like you’re in the quiet country. (Minus the charming frogs at night but it was cool enough to shut the windows). Excellent view of the ocean. Having laundry was so helpful. We had 5 people there. A little tight… perfect for 4 but it was fine for 5 using pull out couch. Would definitely stay again!

Wow. What a spectacular place. A true eco-jungle-lodge-type experience. The location, the home, the host's communication and aloha spirit - everything was fantastic. Highly recommend 4WD / AWD car for the driveway, although we made it work with a sedan (kind of comical, actually). We are an adventurous family of four adults (2 grown kids) that likes experiences and lodging that would be the opposite of a cruise ship or resort. This place was perfect for us. We will be back!

This is a beautiful and immaculate home. Very spacious and accommodated our whole family for my son’s 30 birthday, I would come again!

we spent a week in Matthew's place and would be happy to come back on a future trip. The house is large and full of good stuff - games, kitchen stuff, and more. The immediate surroundings are beautiful as is the view from the porch. Matthew is extremelya helpful and thoughtful. He really cared that we will enjoy our stay. Indeed a five star host. Ocean view is about 90 mins from Kona airport. I suggest not arriving at dark the first time - the area is dark and following the maps app we entered one driveway too early - backing up at darkness was scary. Make sure to follow Matthew's instructions and not just the app. The driveway to the house is not fully paved. However, after you see the way once at daylight it becomes easier. overall, we could use the place as a most comfortable place from which we could reach volcano national park several times and many beaches. it was good to be back to a cosy place at night. We would be happy to do this again!

I really enjoyed the stay at the place. Everything is clean and cozy. There’re AC, washing machine, and dryer, pretty helpful and crucial as the local temperature is high. There’re also amenities like beach umbrella, beach chairs, boogie board, life vests, and noodles. The hosts are always friendly and super responsive. The place is really worth its price.

We can’t say enough about this dreamy stay! Such a perfect fit for our honeymoon on the big island! Jane was so sweet and helpful! Spending our mornings relaxing on the lanai and taking in the scenery was one of our favorite parts of the trip! We wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else on a return trip to Kona!

Incredible place! Beautiful gardens. Walking distance to beach. Great location for day trips. Jill has an amazing attention to detail and the spacious studio displays all of her artistic prowess. It's truly a sanctuary to unwind and chill out. Do yourself a favor and book it for as long as your vacation allows.

Wow! All I can say is Wow! It was a beautiful place with the most amazing views of the ocean. The best breeze comes in the open windows. The outside patio was almost my favorite part. It was wonderful to sit out there with the lights off and listen to nature. My favorite part was a lovely young girl, who lives on the top floor, that talked to my sister and I, and picked some “Flowers” for us. The space is extremely clean. We cooked a few meals with ease cause all that the kitchen offers. The bathroom was small but perfect for us and water pressure was just right. Couch bed and bedroom bed were nice and comfy. It was nice knowing that there were plenty of beach towels, beach chairs and a small cooler for us to take to the beach. Being able to wash our beach stuff when we got back was a huge bonus.I would highly recommend this place for a family with children. Don’t pass this one up. I would stay here again and again.

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 stay as usual!!! Can’t wait to visit again 🥰

The location was perfect, with Manta Ray Night Viewing We enjoyed exploring the area and found plenty of great dining options nearby. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend Michael and their property highly enough.

This was a clean, comfortable home base in Kailua-Kona with easy access to downtown and the south. The pool/bbq area was especially nice. Located near a small beach, perfect for watching sunsets (also the front porch works well). Balcony has an angled ocean view. This unit is directly on Ali'i Dr, making it very accessible, but the unit is set back so it's quiet inside. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, and we appreciated extras like a boogie board and snorkeling gear. Great stay!

Great place that was private and spacious. We loved all the windows.

We loved staying on your coffee farm! Roaming the grounds was so much fun and it was so beautiful! Your space was perfect for us…we loved it! Sound machines were awesome and helped us all sleep so well! And we loved your coffee too! The outside patio space was incredible and we loved sitting out in the morning! You have a beautiful home and farm and we would 100% stay with you again! 🙂

Great location on the island for exploring other regions. The 2 bedrooms had king size beds and their own bathrooms. Kitchen appliances are a bit dated but they are remodeling the units (that’s what the resort told us). The pool area was nice and hot tub. This is a timeshare location and they will try to get you to listen to the sales pitch.

We booked the entire property for our group and we had an amazing time! It was great to wake up to the chickens, cows and birds singing. Silvia and Olivia were fantastic with whatever we needed- which wasn’t much. Would stay here again for the same discounted rate.

Very unique experience. You are actually right in a jungle. With that you have some animals, insects, and noise. We had a small mishap with the ceiling when we first arrived but the hosts quickly took care of it and upgraded our rooms. The jungle rooms are a bit louder at night with the frogs and smaller compared to the other sites in the facility. Overall cool place and great hosts

Manta Soul was a beautiful place to stay with lots of thoughtful amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and eating breakfast in the garden outside the communal kitchen. The property is very close to lots of beaches and other fun things to do in the South Kona area.

A great large spacious cabin, with plenty of room and a big well stocked kitchen. A super pretty area, and the cabin was easy to find with the provided directions.
