Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Kona

We loved staying here! The location was close to many things in the Kona area. The dedicated parking spot made it easy to come and go. The mini-split AC was quiet and kept the place cool. The in-unit laundry was great too.

Everything was perfectly fine, we stayed a couple of nights during our honeymoon and enjoyed the Pineapple Express! Pretty house and surrounding. Albert gave us some recommendations for activities and food, which was very helpful!

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!

We had a wonderful 7 day stay. Our 3 boys (16, 13, and 10) spent hours on the diving board and in the pool. Sandra’s place had everything we needed for beach trips, including beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and beach towels. I was so happy to have a washing machine to wash out the sandy towels and suits after our beach trips. It was a 5-10 minute trip for Costco,-target and Walmart and a 30-40 minute trip to Hāpuna Beach (don’t miss the Malsada stand on the highway on your way). We would come back to the house to cook supper, swim more in the pool, and watch the sunset from the beautiful yard. We also got a lot of use out of the basketball net in the driveway, and volleyball net in the side yard. Sandra was extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay, including local recommendations. Would definitely stay again if on the Big Island!

We saw the pigs they are cute. The hot tub was fantastic. The kitchen was great. The house is clean and quite secluded.

This place is probably one of the most unique and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The inside and out are decorated beautifully. You can see the ocean from the front porch and the lush vegetation surrounding the place is magical. No dishwasher and no A/C but with the windows open and fans provided in each bedroom, it was perfectly fine. The sound of the coqui frogs was also delightful at night. Just know that you will be driving about 20-30 min to get places but it is so absolutely beautiful - it is worth it to stay there. Michael gave us a tour of the property and was very responsive any time we needed anything, which wasn’t often. Highly recommend this place as long as you are willing to drive a little ways to get to things. Make sure to do the scenic red road drive, which is close by.

We stayed here to be close to the IM 70.3 Hawaii. This was such a great location for that (very short drive to the venue). There are good restaurants right near by and the area with the condo is very quiet. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and everything was beautiful inside.

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely fantastic! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to explore and offering breathtaking sunsets each evening. The space itself was thoroughly comfortable, with well-appointed furnishings and incredibly cozy beds that made it easy to relax after a day of adventure. The real highlight, though, was the array of amenities and supplies available to us. From beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas to Pickleball and tennis rackets, everything we could possibly need for a fun and active stay was provided. It was such a treat to have easy access to everything, allowing us to make the most of our time. Whether we were lounging by the beach or enjoying some friendly competition on the courts, this place had it all. We would absolutely stay here again!

the apartment is a very great and special place. Surrounded by the nature you live in a big cozy apartment. You can listen to the animal sounds around you in the night. Jim was very friendly, he gave us helpful information about the area. Check-in was flexibel.

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.

Lovely wooden cottage, hidden in Volcano village, few min. drive to Volcano national park. Surrounded in lush greenery, tranquil, very well furnished and cozy.

What a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. My mom and I really enjoyed the surroundings and the wonderful hosts. We appreciated Kayo and Roby allowing us to have our working dog stay with us at the rental. We hope to visit again in the future.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The property was stunning, with a perfect blend of style and comfort. What really made it special, though, was the attention to detail - from the cozy touches to the thoughtful amenities, it truly felt like home. The private setting was a huge bonus, allowing us to relax and unwind in peace. We loved the little things, like the fully stocked kitchen and the welcoming touches throughout the home. Overall, we'd highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

Beautiful and peaceful location. Watch gorgeous sunsets with panaromic voews pf the ocean right from the deck! Great snorkeling close by if you're comfortable getting in from rocks. Private pool to enjoy when you've had enough salt water for the day.

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.

I had a great stay at Jade’s with my family. It was beautifully decorated, clean, and exactly what I expected from the photos/listing. Would recommend to a friend.

Wendy’s place was amazing for us. We loved watching the surfers in the morning while we drank our coffee. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! One day we took an uber to the beach and used the chairs and umbrella. They were great! My husband is a larger man and fit nicely in their beach chairs. Another thing to note is there location. It’s walkable to town but down the road so you get that peace and quiet. We had an amazing time and would recommend staying here!

The view alone is worth the price! Everything was so lush and beautiful! We felt like we were in our very own private resort. We enjoyed the spacious house itself and the outdoor area. The pool was great and the beds were super comfortable! This was a great base to explore the entire Big Island of Hawaii! I would recommend this home to anyone! Just book it already!

Jan and Cami were very nice to deal with. Their condo is in an amazing location. They thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. Very well organized space. It was clean and inviting.

I stayed here for nearly a week at Kirk's condo and I am very satisfied with the place. It's located in a central area close to the Kailua Boardwalk and a few resorts. He's also transparent and very communicative on the check in and check out processes. I highly recommend Kirk's place if you want to stay in Kona. Mahalo nui loa Kirk!

This is a great place to stay if you are exploring the Kona side of the island. The home is beautiful and well appointed. It was so peaceful and relaxing! We would definitely stay with them again.

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

My wife and I had a wonderful 9 day honeymoon exploring the big island. Beautiful sunsets, spacious accommodations and friendly hosts awaited us whenever we returned from our adventures. Close proximity to local beach, shopping, and restaurants made things easy. Could not have worked out better for what we wanted. Thank you Deb and Bob for being so hospitable. We hope to visit again someday.

We loved our stay here! The home was immaculate and our hosts were very responsive to the few questions I had. What I loved most was how easy it was to have our kids there - the place was well stocked, beds and couches very comfortable and there were plenty of pool toys. Highly recommend!
