Holualoa: hospedarias

Very nice and responsive host, the house is spacious for a family and the views of the night sky is very beautiful too!

Rusty's cottage at Captain Hook is magical! The oceanfront location was incredible. We walked right from the cottage to amazing snorkeling spots, and saw incredible marine life including dolphins playing. The cottage itself was comfortable and in a beautiful setting that made relaxation effortless. Having kayak rentals next door was super convenient. We loved visiting the nearby farmers markets and local farms for fresh fruits and vegetables. Rusty is an exceptional host. The neighbors in the community were equally welcoming. We look forward to returning.

We had a wonderful stay here! The beds were comfortable and the cottage was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to prepare our own meals. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus for us to be able to clean our clothes after long days hiking or at the beach. The location feels private and the view is stunning. We loved hearing the Coqui frogs calling at night and the birds singing in the morning. Our son loved searching for (and easily finding) geckos amongst the beautiful plants on the property. We had one very minor issue during our stay and the host was very responsive and resolved the issue quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

For me personally, Maria’s place rates right at the top of all the places I’ve stayed at using Airbnb (and certainly well above any hotel stay). If you are looking for a place that is just far enough away from Kona to allow for a bit of calm, you should book Maria’s place without hesitation. It was a short albeit steep walk to Pebble Beach. We ventured out easily to Milolii, Green Sand beach (do that one early!), Hookena and Two Step beaches as well as Kona, Kealakekua, and Captain Cook. We very much enjoyed the space and it was definitely more than I thought it would be. More than that though, Maria was always approachable, responsive immediately, and a pleasure to get to know.

We stayed just one quick night here after landing on the island. It was a great little space. Very clean, seemed brand new, convenient to town, and you could see the ocean from the cute front porch. The bed was very soft, like a cloud you melted into. Normally I don't like soft beds but this one was nice. It is a stand alone space but wasn't quite as private/secluded as I thought. In case someone wanted more privacy, but it wasn't an issue for us. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

We loved Robert's place. It is located in a quiet neighborhood on the hills (about 1200 feet elevation), straight up from the airport. It is a great location to explore the island - 10-15 minute drive to Kailua-Kona town (store & restaurants); the beaches to the north of Kona are easy to reach (I think the closest one we drove to was about 15-20 minutes); great coffee farm to visit about 10 minute drive away (Mountain Thunder), two hours to Volcano National Park (we did a day trip) and slightly less than two hour drive to the Green Sand Beach hike. Robert and Fran live upstairs. They are super friendly and ready to help, but let you do your own thing. The house is well-equipped and Robert has beach supplies that he shared with us. Great ocean and sunset view too. No AC but the temp felt just right given the elevation. We would love to go back!

A nice rural experience, very peaceful and comfortable!

We were travel weary after a missed flight and long wait at the airport, arriving to the treehouse was stepping into a peaceful paradise. Surrounded by lush, tropical foliage and birdsong, we couldn't have asked for a more calming setting. Keiko met us and gave us a tour of all the amenities, she was warm and welcoming which helped us feel at home. The location was great and we were a quick drive to all the things a human could need. Keiko's dinner recommendation was superb and we came back to rest our weary bones in a comfortable bed with an immersion in the night sounds of frogs. We woke to birdsong and a spectacular view of the Pacific. The treehouse ticked all of our boxes: nature, wildlife, peace, proximity to restaurants/beaches/snorkeling/shopping, privacy and comfort. It was an absolute joy to stay in this treehouse and it's a space that is truly loved. Keiko and James are exemplify what it means to 'host'. Oh, and the coffee was out of this world, really the best on the planet

Stay was amazing, great view, very beautiful and peaceful ! Very clean, you have your own space, great communication ! I would recommend for sure.

Welcoming and friendly on-site hosts, nice open air kitchen and dining area for meals, central location for west side of island, and a place that now feels like an island home away from home.

Great location in the Kona area. Super close to Da Poke Shack (amazing food) and Magic Sands (cute beach). And Na Na is extremely friendly and helpful!

We had a great stay at Andrew’s place. It was extremely clean with great amenities, and convenient to beaches, gym, supermarkets (less than 15 minutes) and quiet and peaceful. Andrew let us borrow his beach equipment (chairs, umbrella etc) which was really helpful. It is also only about ten minutes to a coffee plantation, and convenient for day-trips including to Mauna Kea (about an hour drive). I highly recommend this AirB&B.

Mike and Melissa (and Sheryl!) are wonderful hosts, and their place is spacious and comfortable—me and my dog, Margot, felt instantly at home. They were super friendly with great recommendations, and the apartment is private and quiet, yet super convenient to town and all of Kona’s lovely beaches. Would recommend to anybody!

Erin and Bernie were amazing hosts, and their place in Kona was perfect for our stay! The home was clean, well-equipped, and had a warm, welcoming vibe. They provided great local tips and made sure we had everything we needed. The location was ideal! Close to beaches, restaurants, and all the best spots in Kona. We would absolutely stay here again!

The view is incredible. It’s a few degrees cooler than Kailua-Kona so it is more comfortable. Michael and Amanda are great hosts and the most enjoyable to talk with. The French Press was a unique touch that shows they go above and beyond to provide a peaceful relaxing environment.

We had a fantastic stay! Cate was such a kind and welcoming host, always responsive and helpful. The place had everything we needed—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Jim's place for seven nights with three people and absolutely loved it. Above all, Jim always has been extremely friendly. He even personally showed us around the apartment when we arrived and was always available for any questions. The apartment itself also completely satisfied all of our needs. It was clean, well equipped with everything we needed, spacious and had its own spacious parking lot directly in front of the building. We especially loved the patio with a nice view to the ocean, which has been a great place for breakfast and dinner. The place has been a great starting point to explore the Kona coast and the Big Island in general. Ali'i Drive is easily reachable by foot, which has some nice little stores and restaurants. Supermarkets, Starbucks, and everything else one needs are also not far away. There is also a hot tub available, which can be quit nice in the evening. Over all, we had a great time and would love to stay here again if we come back to Big Island

Cute small cozy place very close driving to everything. Just what I needed as a solo traveler!

Joe was super friendly and easy to communicate with. The pool and hot tub are as amazing as they look in photos! The landscaping is beautiful and we had the entire outdoor area completely to ourselves the entire time.

We loved our stay at Julya's place! The lanai is everything! I will definitely try to stay here next time I'm in Kona.

We really enjoyed staying at Paula and Jerry’s place! The air bnb was exactly what was listed and pictured and more! It was extremely clean and felt very homey. It was honestly a struggle to get up every morning ‘cause the bed was so comfortable. The shower also felt amazing after a long day filled with activities. We really appreciate that they provided beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas.. pretty much all you need when planning to spend a day at the beach. The laundry was a plus too! Paula was also very accomodating. She was very fast to respond. On our last day, it started raining pretty hard and she provided us with two umbrellas. Very sweet and thoughtful. Really made our stay worth it. Definitely recommend!

A quiet, cool spot to get away from the crowds and beach area. We enjoyed the temp drop when you climb in elevation to the house. The area seemed very safe and I never worried about theft or trouble. Nice area with nice people around the house. You will be about 20 minutes from Costco and are at a central starting point to go north or south. We didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house other than to sleep and be out enjoying the Big Island.

We was really happy and love the amazing view. We had everything what we needed and it was perfect to have beach Chairs and sun umbrella. We come back…Thanks🤙🏝️🌤️

Christyn & Caleb made our stay so welcoming and comfortable. They are excellent hosts, and their home has so much of the island qualities we had hoped to experience. We look forward to returning in the future to this new happy spot.
