Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in South Kona

Absolutely gorgeous surroundings, a simple but clean room, close to the Volcanoes National Park, wish we could have stayed longer

Incredible little hidden gem. Close to coffee farms, local vibes, snorkeling, etc. peaceful and private. There is a lattice partition between the two garden suite lanai’s - had wonderful chats with the lovely folks staying in the next suite but still the apartment felt very secluded. Viviane is a generous and gracious host. Mahalo, Viviane!

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.

Come for the amazing views and stay for the delicious breakfast featuring locally grown fruits! Kurt and Kana were traveling but we were very well cared for by Jeff and Camille. We were only there for a short stay while visiting family in Captain Cook but loved our roomy accommodations with a private patio, large bath and sitting area. We had an adventure finding this spot at night. I’d suggest calling ahead to get better directions from one of the friendly hosts. One tip is to enter Government Main Rd from the end closes to Captain Cook (look for the McCoy Plantation sign) rather than the other end.

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.

Cody is an outstanding host! This is our 2nd stay here. Very private. We feel like we are in a secluded rain forest. Grounds were beautiful options plentiful for sitting outside and a car space is always available. You need a car to get around. It is close in town. They have simple breakfast items and excellent Kona coffee available to brew when you want it. Definitely plan to return

I had a great time in this place, very peaceful, beautiful, so much nature and great host. William is a wonderful person, he recommended very nice places interesting and beautiful to visit. I did all of them and every place he recommended was amazing. If you are looking a place to find peace and meet wonderful people, this place in “Hilo” in one of them. I want to come back again. This land is wonderful, exquisite, peaceful a place to talk its God under the Milky Way . Thank you William for your wonderful company.

We had a lovely stay at this B&B. The fresh breakfast was delicious, and the room was very comfortable. It's also within walking distance to a few of the charming Hilo museums! We enjoyed everything about the stay.

The location near the airport was ideal for our late arrival. Connie was very proactive in making sure our stay would be comfortable. The beds and linens were cozy. We especially appreciated the yummy breakfast she made us before we had to leave. 10/10, highly recommend.

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).

This accommodation was one of our favorites during our stay on the Big Island. The property is beautiful and we loved the constant sound of the waterfall next to our room for 2 nights. Sadly the waterfall was too rough to enter the day we planned to go SUPing, so we never got to have that experience, but we would happily return!

The room is very clean, the environment is good, the wooden house is not soundproof, but it is very quiet when you sleep at night. If you want to sleep lazy in the morning, you can bring earplugs early, the price is very suitable, the owner is warm and friendly, recommended to stay.

Megan and her husband were warm, welcoming, and great hosts. This is definitely a family business and feels like being invited to stay over at a family or friend’s house. The room and bathroom were extremely clean and well stocked with amenities. I highly recommend staying with them if you’re looking to feel right at home.

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!

Loved Carl & Elma's place! Views, sunsets, comfy private porch and public deck. Great breakfasts. Beautiful tropical plants and trees on property. Quiet. Far from the madding crowd at Kona, close to fabulous snorkeling at Honaunau and Captain Cook. We did the 4 mile RT hike down to Captain Cook monument for very good snorkeling - beware the hot 1000 foot ascent back to trailhead, but so worth it! Liked Black Rock Pizza. Carl and Elma really nice, saw them put up a guest who arrived a day early in an unused space. Would absolutely return and recommend highly.

The room was exactly as described, and comfortable with everything we needed. Sarah was a great host with very helpful tips. Breakfast was delicious, beds were comfortable, house was beautiful.

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.

this was the best place I stayed at
