Citrus gardens by the Sea
A great place! Beautiful garden and patio with citrus trees and birds. The house was perfectly stocked with everything in the perfect place. From band-aids to sunburn aloe vera to beach everything to snorkel gear, it is right where you look first. Minutes from fantastic snorkeling and beginner friendly surfing, the house is in a great location. Stuart is a great host, providing local info and very responsive to questions and requests.

*10% off—Rare Oceanview Patio w/ HotTub, A/C, Pool
Nico and Sarah’s place was great! You’re steps away from a small beach and the view from the balcony is amazing. Hearing the ocean views at night was really relaxing. The AC was powerful and kept it nice and cool inside. Very clean as well. The hosts were very accommodating with early check in and later check out for our 2 year old.

Awesome Ocean Front Home - See the Sea for Miles!
One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Janice was so kind and communicated great with us. The view is even better in person and the house was bigger in person too! Everything pictured is better than you can imagine. We saw turtles from the cliff every day! Hot tub was fun and so were the games. Neighborhood was great for walks and everyone is so friendly. We did not want to leave!

Oceanfront, Modern, Accessible Kona: Close to Town
I loved this place. Stayed here a week with my mom. The balcony is large and the view is amazing. Despite there being a pool from the apartment next door, noise was never an issue. It was a five minute drive to the downtown. The pool area was relaxing. Jason was very responsive and kind. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Super Clean~A+ Location~Remodeled~Ocean Front View
The place was very clean with lovely ocean views! We enjoyed our stay, though we did wish trash disposal was included and we didn't have to take it out ourselves.

black sand beach house, ocean views, swim spa/pool
Had a real nice stay at Aaron’s beach house. Was peaceful and quiet. Highlights were hanging out on the balconies overlooking the ocean, spa pool, ping pong and finding coconuts in the yard. Did quite a bit of cooking and found his kitchen to be very well stocked. The fruit basket was a real nice touch (how I miss the papayas!) Aaron was very responsive and friendly. Helped with recommendations as did local hosts. Beach notes -needs a little traversing to get down. We were a 3 generation family and found it easier to access the beach on the far end (further away from house). There was an easier path on that side. - the ocean was pretty rough when we visited, would need to be a strong swimmer. We didn’t let our 8 & 10 yr old swim but they enjoyed playing in sand and shore’s edge. - was definitely clothing optional

Amazing Views of the Bay and Ocean, Steps to Beach
Beth was a terrific hostess! She always responded warmly to us. Her home and lanai are amazing! And the EASY walk to Manini Beach was the huge cherry on top. Thank you Beth for the use of all the beach toys and snorkel gear!!

Two Beach Park homes in Hilo's best location.
We stayed 4 days here with extended family in the smaller home on the same property and it was great. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of space for our family of 5 (larger group was 10 total) to spread out. The best part was the beach across the road with good snorkeling (stronger currents so be careful) and lagoon with turtles. Plenty of outdoor gear to borrow- SUP, kayaks, small boogie boards, water shoes and snorkel/fins. Would definitely stay here again.

Penthouse 2-Bed Snorkeling Delight Kahaluu Beach
This condo was a perfect home away from home for our family of four! The lanai (balcony) has beautiful views of the ocean and the condo is walking distance from a phenomenal beach for snorkeling, swimming, spear fishing, and even turtle watching! Driving distance to many awesome places. The condo itself is equipped with the essentials for cooking just about anything which makes it great for anyone looking to avoid needing to eat out a lot. Will hopefully be returning some day! Thank you!

Oceanfront Condo/Hawaiian Style. 1Bd, w/AC & Wifi
The attention to detail in this updated condo is apparent. It is appointed with guests in mind--USB charging stations, water play equipment, well stocked kitchen, cooler, containers and ice for picnics... The waterfront location was great even though this isn't an ocean-facing unit, it is in a location that other occupants aren't walking by the front door, which is nice. Although we didn't use the pool, it was a nice little feature and appeared very well-maintained. We used the AC both for cooling the bedroom and to blur the traffic noise from the busy street below. It did the trick for both!

Oceanfront! Outstanding! 2BR/2BA w Pool & Hot Tub
We had a wonderful time at Brad and Susan's home. The pool and hot tub were beautiful. They told us places to go. Provided chairs and cooler for our beach day, picked fresh fruit off of the trees and were wonderful people. We would return in a heart beat.

Tropical Oasis Home with Pool and Steps to Beach
We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Steps to Beaches, 2 King Suites, Private Pool, AC
We had an absolutely fabulous time in Kona, and Zhe & Sijie’s place was a huge part of it. It made for an amazing home away from home for our two-week stay. The home was exactly as described and as it appeared in the photos - if anything, it was even more perfect in person. Plenty of living space, the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch at the house each day, and the three bedrooms and bathrooms were a perfect fit for my husband and me, our son and my dad. The elevated deck was perfect for reading in the sun or watching the sunset and then watching the stars come out. The pool is small, but a nice place to relax between activities or at the end of a busy day. The house is also in a very nice neighborhood, very secure and close to a grocery store and quite a few restaurants. Zhe and Sijie were fantastic hosts, super quick to reply to any questions we had, and proactively communicating info about check in and check out. 10/10, highly recommend!!

Oceanfront gated estate w/heated saltwater pool.
Very beautiful home and lots of room for many people to stay. Host is very responsive with any questions/concerns. Very clean as well with lots of things you may need such as beach towels, cooler, water toys etc. Location is very private as well if that's what you're looking for. Just fyi it is ocean front but you cannot get to the ocean from location in case you are looking for that. You can see whales if you look closely which was very cool! Overall great stay for our first time using Airbnb!

Hale Kope Kai w/ Private Pool, Ocean View & Lanai
We throughly enjoyed our stay! Pictures simply do not do justice to the stunning views and gorgeous sunsets!! The home is spacious, extremely comfortable, well stocked, and the big island decor was perfect!! Would recommend without hesitation and hope to return again soon.

Oceanfront/New A/C/Elevator/Surfers
This our second time staying here in 2 years and we look forward to it again. It is a excellent location, away from downtown but close enough to walk. Very peaceful, close to a beach or just hang out. Dawn is an excellent, accommodating, fun host.

Hot tub, jungle house, walk to swim beach
This stay way absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful and peaceful location. We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and fell asleep nightly to the soothing jungle sounds. The host was extremely accommodating and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. This has been my favorite Airbnb stay by far! I will definitely be staying here again if I ever make it back to the islands !

Oceanfront Bungaloha (2023 Remodel on the Water)
If you are looking for a unique Hawaii kind of experience. This is definitely your place. It is off the beaten path so make sure you read the description carefully, but this place is awesome. My family and I had a great time.

Pali Hale - Epic Hawaii Oceanfront Experience
Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

Oceanfront Oasis
Shiva's cottage was absolutely wonderful. We loved everything about it...the deck that practically overhangs the ocean, the house layout, the design-we especially adored the kitchen floor-the whole house was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Shiva was a pleasure to work with-very welcoming and great communication. The area is quiet and peaceful, which is just what we were looking for, after a busy week in Kona. Thank you Shiva for an amazing stay-we can't wait to come back!

OCEANFRONt 3+2.5 AC Oceanfront Pool King Beds
Beautiful townhouse with plenty of extras. Provided soap, shampoo, conditioner, kitchen supplies, laundry supplies, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, towels, etc. Wonderful view from the balcony.

Oceanfront Balinese House w/Hot tub@Kehena beach
We had an amazing stay at this truly unique home! Built in Bali and shipped to Hawaii, the house is a masterpiece of wood craftsmanship, blending traditional Balinese architecture with the natural beauty of its surroundings. The intricate open-air design, and thoughtfully curated details made it feel like a tropical retreat unlike any other. The atmosphere was both peaceful and inspiring, with plenty of space to relax and take in the stunning private environment. Everything was well-maintained, and the hosts were welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience with cultural charm, this is the place to be. We would absolutely love to return!

Kailua-Kona Remodeled Townhouse on Beach w. AC
Our hosts were terrific! Very responsive. We received a detailed message with all instructions ahead of time. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay (even batteries!). They had games available, and all sorts of beach items available (umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, noodles, etc.). The pool at the condo was wonderful-we made several trips to the pool. The moment we arrived we knew the condo was exactly what we needed and that we had made the right choice renting this condo. We hadn’t even left yet and were looking to rent this again for our next trip!! We absolutely recommend this place to families!

Ocean Front Paradise with Hot Tub in Hawaii
Incredible stay and adorable house! Beds were comfy and we had spinner dolphins greet us each morning!
