Apartment holiday rentals in South Kona

Sure! Here’s a polished and favorable review you can post for your stay at The Shores in Waikoloa Beach, HI: ⸻ 5 Stars – A Perfect Island Getaway! We just returned from an incredible 7-day, 7-night stay at The Shores condo complex in Waikoloa Beach, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. The unit was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. From the peaceful lanai to the spacious interior, every detail made us feel right at home in paradise. Our host, Vincent, was outstanding—always quick to respond to any questions and very accommodating throughout our stay. His communication gave us peace of mind and added to the overall smoothness of the trip. The Shores is ideally located, with beautifully maintained grounds, a serene pool area, and easy access to beaches, shops, and restaurants in the Waikoloa Beach area. We’d happily return and highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a hassle-free a

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.

This beachside condo is in a great spot by Kailua-Kona. Easy access to several beaches and not far from the downtown area. There are lots of great amenities in the unit: beach towels and toys, pickleball equipment, and a wonderful lanai. Pamela was very helpful with local recommendations and quick responses.

The condo was perfect for our family of four with two older teens. The third bed is a fold down couch. My kids took turns sleeping on it and both said it was pretty comfortable considering it was a fold down couch. The kitchen was well supplied and all the extra towels were very much appreciated. The pool is salt water, not chlorine. We would definitely recommend this condo to friends/family and stay there again. BTW hosts were amazing! Very prompt replies and very easy to work with.

Beautiful unit with everything you need for a great vacation! Would definitely stay again.

had a fantastic time on Big Island, the stay was perfect, thanks Jenna

Hi Keli, we had a wonderful stay at your place and are giving it a well-deserved 5 stars! The apartment’s beautiful bath and kitchen design, with clean lines and bright surfaces, was a highlight. The location is perfect—quiet yet close to the city center, supermarkets, and tours. The gardens, pools (especially the saltwater one), and stunning sunset views with bird sounds were breathtaking. The thick walls ensured no neighbor noise, and the respect for quiet hours made for peaceful nights. The comfy sofa, bed, and high-quality toiletries added to the experience, and the well-equipped kitchen and convenient elevator were much appreciated. Thank you for a fantastic stay—we’d love to return!

Stacey's condo was great, comfortable couch and bed. Very close to the pool. Centrally located. Highly recommended.

Parking can be tight at night. But great place

Everything excellent, very clean and good location, only the shortness of air for the day in hot weather is a bit hot but I recommend closing windows and at night you open

This 1 bedroom apartment has everything I needed for a long term stay: an equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, WiFi, cable/Roku TV, comfortable furnishings, a lanai with a view, and designated parking. The pool at the complex was excellent for daily swims. The ocean-front location of the complex provided beautiful sunset views.

Great place to stay in Kona! Just yards from shops and restaurants. Kitchen was perfect for meals at the condo and dining on the lanai. Location was close to great activities! Binder in the condo had great suggestions for what to do on the island. We picked a new adventure each day and had a blast! Will definitely stay again when we visit the big island!

Beautiful space in walking distance of downtown.

We enjoyed our stay at Nico and Sarah's condo. It was a convenient location and had everything we needed. Nico and Sarah were responsive to our questions. I would stay here again.

It’s very convenient that this property had free AC. It was also nice that we were able to cook full breakfast every day. That helps save a lot of money. Also great location!

Jason’s condo is one of the nicest, most comfortable/convenient places that we’ve ever stayed. Centrally located with all of the amenities of home. We’re already talking about returning there sometime in the future. Jason is a 10+ communicator and just an all around great person. The condo was worth every penny that we paid for it!

Amazing location in Kona. Communication with Richard was a breeze - highly recommend!!

This is a nice studio condo in a great location! Easy access to most of the activities in the Kona area being within a 30 minute drive and many restaurants and shops within walking/biking distance. Condo is clean, comfortable and well stocked with basic needs and the common areas are a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean views and sunsets. Overall a great experience and would happily recommend and/or use again!

My family and I spent four glorious nights at this air bnb. The location was fantastic! The resort is beautiful! We felt so comfortable returning each evening after our adventures on the big island. The Kona Coast resort is wonderful and having a shopping complex with a grocery store close by (walkable) was a great convenience. I hope we can go back someday. Highly recommend. 10/10.

Airbnb stay was very comfortable and amazing! The place was very clean and was at an ideal location - very close to various restaurants. Nicholas was very responsive and gave great clear instructions for check in. Just a note - there are quite a few cats on the property. Most of them keep to themselves, but a couple are extra friendly and might even follow you to your unit. It’s worth noting this isn’t Nicholas’s fault—just part of the local environment. If you’re a cat lover, you’ll probably enjoy their company! If not, just be aware. Otherwise, everything was clean, comfortable, and as described. Nicholas was a responsive and thoughtful host.

Very responsive, and kind! Loved my stay at this Airbnb, the weather wasn’t that great for my visit but the Airbnb made it better! View was great, looked just like the pictures!

Ina is a very informative and responsive host. She recommended some great local restaurants and places to hang out. The house is clean and the neighborhood is very peaceful. There is a beautiful view of the beach behind the apartment (2 minutes walk). The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils and ingredients. However, we didn't have time to cook. One thing we found annoying was that the AC was portable and a bit noisy.

This was a great location for our adventures around Big Island. The condo is clean and comfortable. Having a rental car is a must, because everything is a bit further apart on this island. It was very nice to have parking! We enjoyed having the beach chairs, coolers and boogie boards. The AC units cool the condo well. We spent most of our time outside exploring, but it was a nice place to return for home base.

We had a terrific stay at Natalie and Mike’s. The condo was spacious, very clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. We especially enjoyed the gorgeous views, resort amenities, convenient proximity to food & shopping, and beach equipment. Mike was also very responsive. We can’t wait to visit again!
