Recent Kona guest reviews

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is super close to the beach and was so easy to get to snorkeling as well as it being a quick drive into Kona for food or groceries. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies and had all the towels, snorkeling, and beach equipment needed for any adventure. I highly recommend and would stay here on any future visits back to the big island.

Although our stay was during the Kona Low storm we still had an ocean front view of the ocean. We were able to sit on the lanai and watch the developing storm and its aftermath. Also watched surfers and saw a pod of dolphins. On the day of departure the skies cleared and we saw a beautiful view of the ocean.

Why vacation in Kona?

Kona is a place where tradition meets beach days. You’ll find historic heiau (temples), royal heritage sites, and scenic drives surrounded by lava fields, all just minutes from world-class snorkeling, fishing, and beachcombing. This side of the island stays dry and sunny year-round, making it the go-to destination for outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and sunset cruising. It’s also the heart of the island’s famous coffee belt, with scenic farms offering tours and tastings along the slopes of Hualālai volcano. While Kailua-Kona offers the hustle and harbor, the greater Kona District stretches out into peaceful coastal communities, upland rainforests, and oceanfront adventures.
