Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in South Kona

We had a great experience staying in Cody's place as our base whilst we were in Hilo. It's a lovely space to spend time, and we spent several lazy mornings on the veranda with the provided breakfast which you can access at any time. Although the location wasn't convenient for walking, we were able to find Ubers / Lyfts into Hilo without much of an issue on nights we wanted to avoid driving due to alcohol.

Our stay at Kulaniapia Farm exceeded expectations, the cabin especially. I was expecting a pretty bare bones cabin thanks to both the pictures and description, but the cabins are beautifully made, with comfortable linens and a stunning view of the farm, down to the ocean. We spent an entire day exploring the farm and sharing the space with the community members during a monsoon-like rainy day. We didn’t get to enjoy the waterfall due to the weather, but our experience getting to immerse ourselves in the community was even better. I will say the Airbnb listing doesn’t do a great job of explaining the property—you’ll be staying on a working farm where there are several employees doing a work to live program. The shared living space is quite literally their home, which may feel awkward for some (the majority of those we met were lovely humans). There are also cats living in the shared barn space, which may be an issue for those with allergies.

Very kind hosts. They were able to accommodate us on very short notice the evening of. Nice and cozy village. Right down the street from HVNP. Would absolutely stay again!

This was a wonderful place to stay! Kurt and Kana were such gracious hosts. We loved the yummy breakfasts, comfortable bed, and beautiful sunset views. We’d love to come back for a visit someday.

Absolute Gem!! This has to be one of the most cute cabins we’ve ever rented! The cabin is just perfect for 2, and is very well appointed. Gorgeous inside and the property around it is like a fairy tale filled with beautiful flowers, plants & trees. Let the rain tapping on the roof and the frogs serenade you to sleep. Perfectly located to allow you to explore the island during the day, come back for an early evening nap and get up to see the volcano lava flows at night! Amazing place and excellent host. Do not hesitate in booking this.

We stayed at Volcano Village Estates on 3/23/2025, our stay was spectacular. We were maybe 6 minutes away from the National Park, and then 25 minutes for a major grocery store. This spot is perfect for us you want to go to the NP at night to watch the lava (if there is any). John was extremely welcoming and attentive to all of our questions and issues. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this for while staying here in volcano.

We enjoyed being within walking distance to our favorite snorkeling spot in Hilo, at Richardson Park. Claudia is a charming host that will prepare a fabulous breakfast every morning with fresh fruits and other treats. Ask for the waffles, made on the spot! Sleeping to the sound of the frogs and the rain makes you feel that you are in the middle of the jungle. There are mosquitos outside but none inside.

The hosts crafted an exceptional space and experience, providing outstanding hospitality marked by care for the guests and thoughtful local tips.

Lovely staycation :-)

Loved this private place in the rainforest setting and the recycling energy saving methods used here, comfy and quiet and minutes from the park. Only issue was finding it in the dark, the road is very dark and hard to see what driveway to enter..

We (myself and my husband) had an enjoyable stay here. Splendid and admirable service. Resort-style stay at an affordable price and total privacy (no resort sort of crowd). Marvelous view, customized breakfast (I'm vegetarian, Indian). Clem is a sweetheart. He made Indian veg-pulav for us which was top-notch. His pancakes are the best ones we have had so far. He also made early breakfast at 5 am for us since we had a flight to catch. They have an outdoor kitchen with a stove, grill BBQ, micro-oven, crockeries (which they will wash after use - love it. Probably my first trip without washing dishes ), and necessary spices. They have a clean pool (the water was so good), perfect jacuzzi. I had a sound sleep throughout my stay here. The king-size bed had a heater with independent control for both sides (OMG !!! heaven-sent). The room had a coffee maker, kettle, fridge, and more than enough cabinets for clothes, and more. The washer and dryer were very handy. And they have surplus bath towels, hand towels, beach towels, snorkeling goggles and flippers, floatation boards, noodles, swim belts, beach chairs, ice cooler boxes, and MORE. The location is perfect with a calm residence hilltop view, nearby cafes (must try), coffee tasting at Greenwell, nurseries, and beaches. On top of it, we got lucky by spending July 4th here with a relaxed private viewing of fireworks. Special thanks for replacing all towels, door mates and providing room service daily. I would rank no:1 (I have OCD for cleanliness and organizing). For me, it's my fantasy came true !!! I Will definitely stay here again (goes without saying).

Very relaxed and easy place to stay. It’s right near the best surf beach in Hilo so if you are into surfing it would be the perfect place to stay. Not far from the main town. Steph was very nice and easy to communicate.

We had a lovely stay at Megan’s place, highly recommend to anybody looking to explore the Kailua-Kona side of the Island. Thanks Megan!

We had such a wonderful time with Chad and Jennifer. The property was so much more than we even thought. The property is so beautiful and well maintained. Truly unique property with unparalleled beauty. Chad and Jennifer are such gracious, informative hosts. We will definitely look to stay again. Highly recommend. This is a special experience and stay, far beyond what can be described. The pictures, although beautiful, don’t come anywhere near to describing it.

This beautiful location for the bed and breakfast is along a river with access to a lovely waterfall. The accommodations were simple and very comfortable. The surroundings are serene and very special. We enjoyed the short hike down and swimming under the powerful waterfalls. The morning (when sun shines in the water) is best time to check it out. The staff are helpful and kind. It's a great place to stay if you are checking out nearby Hilo or other sites east side of island.

Louis and Tony were very wonderful. We loved staying on their farm. First night we weren't quite ready for the jungle sounds. The roosters can be quite loud even starting early in the night. But after that we got more used to it and something about feeling like you were sleeping outside, but in the safety of a rustic home with screen windows helped melt our stress away. Breakfasts were phenomenal and the hosts were super accommodating to my husband's many dietary restrictions - can't get enough of their fresh fruit and eggs! We would certainly stay here again. Thank you Louis and Tony!

Good value and location in a quiet neighborhood in Volcano. I was on a trip to to see Kilauea erupt and this place allowed me easy access to the volcanoes park and village eateries and Sunday farm market. They were communicative before check in and check out and provided a cutting board/knife I used to cut a couple of pineapples during my visit. Price beats expensive resorts, plus there aren't a lot of people around.

Sarah’s place was such an incredible spot, surrounded by natural beauty and a warm, spacious, clean and wonderful room. Sara was super friendly and helpful - we felt right at home. Would 100% go back again!

If you want to stay close to Volcano National Park, this is the best place to stay. Parking in front of the house, quiet surroundings in the middle of trees. The room was well equipped, with a fridge, microwave, TV, shower, and even heated bed possibility. The breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and very friendly conversations with the hosts and other guests.

Mahalo, Thank you so much. Your place is so peaceful and lovely decor. The rain shower was wonderful. We loved having our breakfast on the lanai with spectacular views. Brittany was so accommodating and we would love to return. Mahalo and much aloha🌺 Kristine and James

CC is super nice, she picked us up at the airport, so check in was very smoothly. She was very kind, she also prepared instant noodle, breakfast for us. Only 10 mins away from the airport, highly recommended for a Kona stay :)

It was a great little getaway and Sarah was so sweet to bring out delicious homemade papaya bowls for breakfast! 10/10!

Great place with amazing views of the ocean and the coconut trees.

Beautiful property. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was amazing with bidet and rain shower.Delicious breakfast delivered at 7:30 on the lanai. We spent our last day lounging by the pool with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean. The property is close to Akaka falls and about an hour from HVNP and Muana Kea observatory.
