Villa holiday rentals in Island of Hawai'i

Absolutely loved staying here. The ease of parking and walking right in, the outdoor shower, morning jogs right from the house with a view of the volcanoes all make this a great stay. An easier more laid back option than a resort or hotel with the same luxury feel.

Lily's Hale was one of the most unique Airbnb homes we have ever stayed at, and we have visited many around the world. It has a plantation vibe with a modern feel. The home is enormous. The AC units in each room provide excellent comfort for sleeping at night. The location is prime, right down the road from the airport. Hilo is where I grew up; therefore, this area allowed me to be centrally located to everything. You will not be disappointed. We wish we could have stayed for one more week since our rental home was not ready. That is how much we loved the place.

This house is absolutely GORGEOUS - the pictures don’t do it justice. Owners have supplied far more than any other stay has. There were spices, coolers with ice packs, sporting equipment, sun screen - all the little things you wouldn’t think of bringing but end up needing. We plan on staying here again!!!

It was great vacation!

We loved our stay at this resort. Beautiful, well maintained grounds, lovely view from the lanai where we watched sunsets in the evening. Responsive host that sent someone to fix a slow draining tub. The amenities in the house were as described. The appliances and interior were a little worn out, not well maintained and could use a little attention. Would come back for another stay if amenities repaired/maintained.

The house is located on a hill, at the end of a private road. While there's a neighbor on one side behind vegetation, another further up the hill and one you pass while driving up, it's mostly private. We felt like we were in our hidden sanctuary. There's a rainforest which adds lushness and life (birds) to the area. Inside, even though it's small, it has a nice layout where everything works well. It was super clean and designed in pleasant neutral colors that instantly make you feel like at home. The appliances are new and work great. Aliah responds quickly. With electrical outlets outside, it was possible for us to charge our hybrid rental car which was a great bonus. The biggest disadvantage is that its location in the hills means it has a rainforest microclimate. While it was almost always sunny and dry down in Kona, it was usually cloudy or rainy up there, usually from noon. This was a big disappointment for us. If you want to enjoy sun, it's better to stay near the coast.

We stayed at Royal Sea Cliff in unit 109, and it was absolutely amazing. The property was right on the ocean, and the condo was very spacious and comfortable with all the amenities we could ever want. It has a huge lanai which we enjoyed using for our morning coffee and our glass of wine at sunset. There were also pool toys for the kids, and plenty of beach gear for us which was very useful. The grounds are lovely, and the building is well maintained and cleaned. We had an issue with one of the bathroom doors that had gotten off the track, and Kona Coast was very attentive, and sent a handyman out the next day to fix it. The unit is definitely a little pricier, but it was well worth the money spent, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. The only recommendation I would give is to update their cable tv to maybe provide Netflix or at least to have a working tv guide. When we wanted to watch a show at night, we had to manually flip through each channel to find a show, because the digital guide said "no information" for each channel. But this was an insignificant detail compared to everything else that was awesome with the unit. We would love to stay here again if we're ever on the Big Island again!

Kailani Villa is in an absolutely gorgeous location on a secluded and large lot with abundant plants, fruit trees, and lots of space to wander. The ocean views are unforgettable and provide lots of opportunity for rainbow sightings in the afternoons when the moisture rolls in from the ocean. The home is spacious and allows for a nice balance of gathering and privacy. It's particularly convenient to have two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The outdoors is the real star here and it is tempting to spend as much time as possible lounging on the lanai in the hopes of seeing whales break the surface. It's about a 20 minute drive to downtown Hilo which offers fantastic food and shopping. There are activities all around to enjoy.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful vacation home in Hawaii! The house was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing getaway. The air-conditioning worked perfectly, which was much appreciated after long days in the sun. The pool is just steps away from the house, and we used it every single day. Even better, the home comes stocked with any and all pool and beach gear you could possibly need—coolers, chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, boogie boards, and more. It made heading out for the day so easy! One of the highlights was the access to a private beach club, which is just a short drive away. Dean was an excellent host and left a thoughtfully curated list of recommended restaurants. We visited most of them, and they were great! Our favorites were Tommy Bahama, Canoe House, Merrimans and Miller&Lux. We would absolutely return to this beautiful home. It had everything we needed and truly made our Hawaiian vacation effortless.

This is our second time staying in this beautiful home. Being so close to the ocean is fantastic. Such wonderful views from the bedrooms and kitchen/living room. Our family of six made many wonderful meals in the open concept, kitchen and enjoyed dining on the lanai. Be sure not to miss the sunrise as you’re enjoying your morning coffee. Kim was once again wondeful host. We truly appreciated her generosity in offering us a few extra hours at checkout and refunding our cleaning deposit. We have family that lives in HPP and we try to come out regularly to visit. This will continue to be our go to spot if it’s available. Thank you for another wonderful stay Kim!!

Charming condo in the nice private community; very quiet and yet close to restaurants, shops, beach. Great to enjoy sunsets from the balcony or at the local beach club. The condo had everything we needed for our stay, and James went above and beyond to provide some extra beach gear once we asked. Overall excellent location and very friendly and responsive host. Highly recommended!

The Onion House is certainly the most remarkable place we’ve ever stayed! It’s conveniently located, and we loved its beautiful one-of-a-kind architecture with a paradisiacal pool, foliage, and ocean views. Note, however, the rental materials are very upfront and accurate in saying this isn’t a place suitable for everyone due to its unique construction and features. Terri and Jeanne were great with communication and very responsive. Cheers to the bold artistic vision the Onion House embodies, and to its current owners for their willingness to continue offering it as a destination - we’re so grateful we were able to experience all it offers!

Great access to beach and nice pool/hot tub area. Kitchen well stocked with condiments, odds and ends and cookware. Gas stove outside was a little finicky but otherwise great value and would stay here again.

Our stay at your villas was fantastic! The location was easy to find, just as described. The condo was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, from great kitchen utensils to beach gear. We loved the lovely view of the pool and the amazing sitting area where we could enjoy our coffee on the lanai or have dinner at night. We couldn't have chosen a better place, and we would definitely book again!

The place was great. Well located with a short walk across the street to Queens Marketplace and a short walk to Kings. The house was also clean and well maintained. We loved the lanai with the view of the Golf course. We would totally stay again!!

Betsy’s listing worked out extremely well for us. It is a well-equipped/maintained condo and the space was perfect for two couples. The oceanfront location was a highlight and the large balcony was perfect for relaxing and sunset viewing. It is conveniently located near Kona and yet felt very quiet and removed from the busier tourist bustle. Betsy was a great host - proactive and easy to communicate with. We’d loved to have stayed longer and would certainly return.

The area was beautiful, beach, shopping, movie theater, resturants, and much more all walkable. The villa overlooks the golf course quiet and peaceful. The owners everything you need for a great visit to the beach, If you don't mind staying about 20 minutes from Kona, it's a great place to stay

We had an amazing stay! It was truly a wonderful time, the place was clean and had many amenities. We had everything we needed and there was great communication with Michelle. When we had a question or anything, host was quick to respond and very helpful. Would highly recommend this place, thank you for a great stay!

The home was the perfect size and the interior was just as it appeared online. The new sliding doors were wonderful. It would be nice to have more than 2 “glass” wine glasses. The kitchen was well equipped. The mattress pads need to be replaced, plenty of towels etc. we really enjoyed the home. We also have a home on Oahu and love the Big Island. Mahalo

The balcony was very nice with all the birds in the morning chirping away. The kitchen was clean and had all we needed. The bedrooms were clean and neat. The complementary beach chairs we very helpful so we did not need to rent or buy them. Location is also great near very nice beaches. Especially the A bay. Thank you for having us. It was a great experience.

I don’t really understand why Red awning is involved. After we booked everything was through Kohalo property. Even the checkin codes were wrong from red awning. The place however was beautifully decorated brand new with all the supplies we needed. We spent most of the time on the lanai with its built in kitchen. Walk to queens shops. We drove to beaches but could have walked but with chairs etc it would have been difficult as 70 year old very fit people! Perfect for 2 couples who like to cook!

Beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We had a very happy stay here before competing in the Kona Ironman.
