Honu Ohana - walk to White Sands
The place was in a nice area, cozy, and very spacious. Stores and shopping like 10min drive. Walking to white sand beach was easy, about 8-10 min. Sunsets were beautiful there. I loved watching the birds everyday. It could get hot sometimes, but fans would refresh the house. Everything needed was there. Liz was very responsive and shared good information about big island. Mahalo 🤙

2 Room Private Treetop Suite
We adored staying in the Treetop getaway - I wish we could have stayed longer! The space was well-organized, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the outdoor seating was so lovely in the mornings! The beach gear that we borrowed for the day was amazing!! We felt so cozy and relaxed in this spot -- and the hosts are super friendly.

Our Sun Spot
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!

Kona-Amazing sunset, Ocean/POOL/AC/Great loc
5 stars! Was a great location! The hosts were friendly and had amazing recommendations. We felt secure and safe, as well as thankful for the wonderful amenities they offered. The pool was amazing and the unit was exactly as described. Everything was clean and quiet. AC was great. Overall just great hosts and place , would 100% recommend!

☀ Private Garden w/ Ocean Views → Green Sands ☀
Beautiful property in Naalehu. Pretty easy to find and there’s a sign that says “Park Here” on the lawn, which is very helpful. Fresh fruit upon our arrival. Paul was very responsive to all my messages. This is about a 20 min drive to the southern most point in the US and to the Green Sand beach hike. Farmers market every Wednesday in Naalehu is really neat. The space is as described and perfect for 2 people. I’ll definitely stay here again if I’m on this side of the island! There’s a washer and drier in the unit too, which is a bonus!

Bright apartment in the Heart of Kona
Great location we walked every day up and down the strip to different restaurants into the beach other sites Walmart, and Safeway are about a five minute drive or about a 10 minute walk Apartment was a good size in newly renovated

Hale Sakai • 10 Min from Kona Airport!
Francesca's place was the perfect home base for our visit to Hawaii! The place was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable in a peaceful neighborhood. We felt safe throughout our stay even when returning late at night. Check-in/out instructions were clear and communicated well in advance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it to anybody visiting the Big Island!

Zen Orchid retreat, amazing view, fresh fruit! :)
Lorelle was there for us from the start, help to navigate, places to go… Always attentive to what we need. Beach towels and snorkeling gear is there and available to use.

Good Vibes Ohana
This was hands down one of my favorite Airbnbs in 14 years of using the platform. Lahi’s Ohana is small but incredibly well-designed—you have everything you need. We used the kitchen daily, loved the cozy work nook, and appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout, especially the high-quality bedding and modern bathroom. The private patio was the highlight—immaculate, peaceful, and perfect for meals or just soaking in the fresh air. The location is super convenient—only 15 minutes to the beach, airport, groceries, and more, nestled in a quiet hillside neighborhood with dedicated parking. Highly recommend!

Studio apartment with sweeping ocean views
A lovely place, wonderful ocean views, great hosts.

1 BR in Paradise w/private Bath, 20 min to beach!
This is a perfect stopover between Kona and Hilo, and is a manageable distance from the Volcanoes National Park. The room is very clean, very private and you have enough space to park your in the drive way. We like the ambience as it's situated right in the middle of a golf course. Debby has been a great host and prepared for our late arrival.

Spacious Apartment Near Airport and Beaches
Stephanie was great at check in instructions and the place was in a good area

1-Bedroom Suite with Private Pool and Garden Lanai
We had a wonderful stay at James’s place! The home was clean, beautifully maintained, and located in a peaceful area that made it easy to relax and explore the Big Island. James was incredibly thoughtful and hospitable. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the island. Thank you again for such a memorable experience!

Hot Tub Studio Green/Black Sands South Point HVNP
Lovely guest suite. Cute decor. Had everything we needed. Hot tub was super clean and exactly what we needed after a hike to the Green Sand beach. Nestled in beautiful lush gardens. Super friendly host.

Ancient Trail Ohana
As we were checking out, my husband commented that Jennifer's place is one of the most comfortable Airbnb's we've ever stayed in and is the most comfortable in Hawaii (and we come to Hawaii often!). Jennifer has thought of everything to make our stay easy, relaxing and comfortable. From lamps and lights in all the right places, to plenty of hooks in the bathroom. The large walk in shower is divine. But the best was having coffee, dinner, or just hanging on the lanai with it gorgeous view, surrounded by amazing flowering plants and fruit trees. Thank you too, Jennifer, for all the fresh fruit from your garden. The only warning I can give future guests is to NOT use Google Maps to find the place. Each time we put the address in, Google Maps tried to take us down the hill on a totally different road. Go by Jennifer's written instructions.

Boho Chic Gem | Ocean Views + A/C + Beaches Nearby
We love this gorgeous home-like place with peace, cleanness, lots of amenities and easy-going owner. We definitely would live again next time visit big island.

JUNGALiCiOUS! A Totally Tropical Bungalow!
We stayed at Kona Mountain Refuge for our one week honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing :) it’s nestled in what feels like a jungle bungalow and is so serene and peaceful. The location was perfect as we got to explore many different parts of the island such as Two Step, Volcano National Park, Hilo, Hapuna beach. The Airbnb is very clean and has all the amenities you could need. We enjoyed the kitchen and even the complimentary washer/dryer. The host provided all swimming equipment you could think of (beach chairs, umbrella, snorkels, towels, noodles)! Very thoughtful of them. They even sent us a detailed guide/list of recommendations which was so helpful in planning our itinerary. We had a car with low clearance and were able to park on top near the street, so parking was not an issue for us. We especially loved the friendly cat Papaya who I miss already! Would definitely return when we come back to the big island! Thank you for an amazing and memorable honeymoon stay :)

✦KONA HAWAIIAN RESORT✦ 2 Bedroom Deluxe Suite!
As a family of three, we found this place comf, The pool was a nice place to cool off at the end of a hot day. We loved the Lanai and grilled some steaks one night on the common area grill. The Aloha vibe was the best part with friendly staff and tropical bird sounds. Mahalo for many our stay so special!

Poolside Studio🤙🏻Ocean View / AC / King🛌10min➡️Beach
We had a great stay at Chris's place! He was very responsive and accommodating, the location was very convenient and the Airbnb is close to lots of restaurants/the city center. We'd definitely stay again for another trip to the Big Island.

Quiet 3 bedroom home with amazing ocean views
Everything went smoothly and the view is gorgeous!

Cozy studio w/ full kitchen, W/D; close to town
Sheena’s studio is awesome, very spacious for 2 people and away from all the busyness. Everything was super comfortable, especially the bed, and best of all this place has all the small essentials you need for a great stay like laundry detergent, beach gear, and shower stuff. The kitchen was also super helpful as we were able to cook our meals and we had everything we needed there. Being higher up the place never got too hot and we slept very comfortably at night with the fans. Sheena was an amazing host, accommodating and friendly! Highly recommend this place for your trip to the big island.

Hawaiian Country 2 Bedroom Ohana with Ocean Views
We stayed as a family of five with our teenage children. The house was quiet with a beautiful ocean view, well-equipped with kitchenware, and the interior was lovely—it made us feel very relaxed. Having a washer and dryer was also a great help. The location was convenient for accessing downtown Kona, Manta Ray Village, and Mauna Kea, where we went stargazing. We also enjoyed the charming sounds of frogs at night—it added to the experience.
