Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in South Kona

I travel to this area most years for conferences and holiday. Always choose this accommodation if available because of its location, amenities and most helpful guests. It is my number one place to stay for ease of access also. Very quiet and lovely neighbourhood and very safe walking any time day or night. It is up a hill which gives a great view and I like it for the exercise walking to restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries and other shops. Could ask for better hosts! A favourite of many B&Bs I have stayed at around the world.

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.

I was able to check in at midnight for one night stay after volcano eruption viewing. Host gave clear instructions about late check in. Room was nice with comfortable beds. We didn't get enough time to enjoy the jacuzzi but had a nice morning walk in the area.

This was a wonderful place to stay! Kurt and Kana were such gracious hosts. We loved the yummy breakfasts, comfortable bed, and beautiful sunset views. We’d love to come back for a visit someday.

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.

Great property & location. Would stay again!

We stayed at Volcano Village Estates on 3/23/2025, our stay was spectacular. We were maybe 6 minutes away from the National Park, and then 25 minutes for a major grocery store. This spot is perfect for us you want to go to the NP at night to watch the lava (if there is any). John was extremely welcoming and attentive to all of our questions and issues. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this for while staying here in volcano.

We enjoyed being within walking distance to our favorite snorkeling spot in Hilo, at Richardson Park. Claudia is a charming host that will prepare a fabulous breakfast every morning with fresh fruits and other treats. Ask for the waffles, made on the spot! Sleeping to the sound of the frogs and the rain makes you feel that you are in the middle of the jungle. There are mosquitos outside but none inside.

Lovely staycation :-)

Exceptional Hospitality! This stay was absolutely wonderful thanks to CC . From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond to make me feel at home. She was always responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about my comfort. The place itself was clean and cozy, but it’s the host’s warmth that made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend – I'd love to stay again!

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!

Amazing stay. The hosts put a great deal of care into the property and making your stay a pleasant one. It really is a wonderful bed and breakfast, with a lovely atmosphere actual breakfast. What airbnb should be.

Megan is so sweet and warm. She really makes you feel at home as well as her husband. It really felt like we were staying with family. The space is conveniently located to many areas. He house is cute and safe. She was always very attentive and quick to reply on Airbnb. And that’s very much appreciated. I would recommend family and friends to stay with Megan.

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!

Carl came to welcome us and provide further details. The room was comfortable, with all of the necessary amenities. It was great to have snorkel gear, boogie boards and insect repellent available for use. The hot breakfast served was excellent. Both Carl and Elma were were friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Sarah’s place was such an incredible spot, surrounded by natural beauty and a warm, spacious, clean and wonderful room. Sara was super friendly and helpful - we felt right at home. Would 100% go back again!

Lovely place to stay at. Lots of nature sounds and the windchimes were a nice touch. I even had a couple pheasants right outside my back door when I opened the curtains the next day. It felt quiet and a relief after staying at lodgings on main streets. I met J.D. and an another fellow who I think was helping with some small renovations. Friendly folks. I appreciated the breakfast and the little treats left for guests in the fridge. Lots of options for tea, too, if you're not a coffee person. The nearest store for groceries is about a mile away, and if you want, it's a nice walk. There's filtered water available near the hot tub and also a couple water bottles provided in the room's fridge. I didn't try the hot tub, but it looked nice. This area can get a fair bit colder at night, but there's plenty of warm bedding, and also the hot tub as long as it's not quiet hours. It's close to Volcanoes N.P. and it's also a nice area in general. I would definitely come back.

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.

Jennifer and Chad were such kind gracious hosts for letting us stay in their beautiful property and making us feel like cherished guests. It feels like a 5 star hotel and more. spending time with the animals was such a welcome treat. they have hundreds of feet of private ocean front, and an incredible pool and hot tub. Would not hesitate to stay again.
