Kailua-kona Vacation Rental - Walk to the Beach!

3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (5)
"Location is great, just 2 minute walk to the water and less than 10 for a swim. We enjoyed staying Kailau/Kona. The condo is well maintained as is the property. We had to call the property manager to reset the door code when we arrived ... it just took her 5 minutes to come and a few minutes to do it. This condo is small, particularly the kitchen (although the fridge is fullsize) and the bed is just okay, but it has a nice balcony to sit on. It worked well for us."

Peaceful Private En-suite on Kona Coffee Farm

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (39)
"Lauren’s and Nicks place was a perfect stay for us. It is up the mountain and away from any hustle and bustle. However close to many places to eat and beaches. Lauren and Nick were easily available to get a hold of. The place is small and perfect for us two and not having a TV was nice to have a break. If you are looking for a place that is in a peaceful place with lovely host this is a must! "

Perfectly located Air conditioned 2BR 2BTH Condo in downtown Kona

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (45)
"Right in downtown, great location. The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the lanai was spacious. The kitchen is very small and did not lend itself to much cooking. The toilet hose leaked, and the property manager told us to put a towel down."

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"This was a fantastic room that is right by the ocean! The center of the complex is a botanical garden. There are flowers that line the walk-way and torches that are lit at dusk. This room could have managed four people, but we didn’t mind the extra space. It served as a great home-base as we toured the island. There is a closet full of everything you may need for a day at the beach or a journey through the forest. We made very good use of the cooler, beach chairs, and snorkeling...

A perfect suite for temporary short term visitors

"This rental property is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It is inside a gated community, providing a sense of safety. It has its own separate door but is attached to the host's main living quarter, providing both privacy and easy access to the host if necessary. The host family are friendly. We could reach them via text messages and they responded fast. Parking is off-street and conveniently located in front of the rental property. Inside the property, the host provided everything we needed...
