Top Mahaiula Bay Hotel Reviews

Stunning Ocean Views + Designer Designed Kona Home

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent communication from the agent, and beautiful location for our stay. My daughters and I were on the west side of the island for an extra few days and found this location. It was peaceful and picturesque, and we enjoyed several fun days in this location. Easy access to downtown Kona and the surrounding areas, and beautiful views to the ocean from the high elevation. Very minor snafu with the internet on arrival, but the agent worked quickly with repair folks to get it resolved."

"We had a wonderful stay at Janie’s place in Kailua Kona! From the moment we arrived, it truly felt like a home away from home. The house was comfortable, welcoming, and had everything we needed for our stayThe pool was a huge highlight, especially for the kids, and was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the island. The location was fantastic central to everything we wanted to see and do, while still being a great place to come back to and unwind. One of our favourite parts was the amazing sunsets from the deck and pool over looking the beautiful ocean. Janie was a wonderful host, communication was perfect and we really enjoyed our time here. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Big Island and would happily stay here again!A hui hou "
