Note: For dates May 11-25, 2025, special pricing applies - only the upstairs is available for up to 6 guests. (3 brms and 2 baths, full kitchen and living room). The owners will be onsite staying in the studio downstairs. (All other dates available include use of the studio downstairs)
The Kona Lighthouse is centrally located in a peaceful neighborhood along the Gold Coast of the Big Island, a 5-mile scenic, oceanfront drive between the towns of Kailua-Kona and Keauhou-Kona. —- Ideal for family and small group vacations. A block from White Sands Beach and across the street from the ocean. Enjoy the private lap pool in a lush tropical garden setting. Open & airy home (approx. 2400 sf) with three lanais (decks) each with ocean views. Enjoy cool ocean breezes flowing through the house night and day. Air conditioning in every bedroom, including the studio.
Note that there is an onsite caretaker who lives in an attached apartment on the ground level. There is a designated smoking area outside of her apartment. - If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, we encourage you to please let us know. She is happy to make adjustments to move that smoking area further away to assure your comfort.
Also, if you have a late-evening departing flight, we highly recommend booking an extra night. - We are not often able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs due to guests coming and going on same day and the need for time to clean between guests (big house, lots to clean!). And we are often not able to store luggage past check out time. If you book an extra night, it will allow you the freedom to come and go as you like without having to haul around luggage everywhere you go until your evening flight - and you'll get to really enjoy that last day on the island before heading home!.

Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Did a lot of family cooking and grilling. 3 bathrooms, one with a grotto shower on the lower level. Grandsons loved it. Laundry worked great. Enough parking for 2 cars at least. Pool and beach toys with a wagon to haul them all. Beach is 2 blocks away. Plenty of beach towels. Onsite caretaker was wonderful. Not the Four Seasons, but very comfortable. Great place for 3 generations to enjoy Kona.

The grounds were beautiful with a large variety of plants, flowers and trees. A beautiful peaceful view of the ocean from upper lanai. Ample seating inside and outside, we had a group of 7 adults. The location was ideal, we were in Kona as spectators for the 2024 men’s IronMan race so we were only 20 min drive from the event. A short walk to the beach with a restaurant. The kitchen was fully supplied for meal prep. No kitchen table inside but it was fine for us.The ice maker in freezer was not working great but we just bought a bag of ice. Overall, it was an ideal place for us, we loved it! And we would very much enjoy to stay here again! Mahalo!

Was so nice. Beautiful view, beautiful sunsets. Conveniently located. Lots of rooms and beds. Really appreciated extra gear in the garage for the beach. Lady downstairs was very helpful and friendly. Pool was such a nice alternative to have when the children didnt want to do the beach. Internet connection was great for the whole family.

Very comfortable home in a beautiful, safe neighborhood for our multigenerational group. Took a hot mug of Kona coffee down to the beach each morning and watched the body surfers catch the waves. Cleaning up at the end of a beach day was easy with the very private, hot shower outside. There was so much to enjoy on the island and the location was perfect for reaching all sites easily. We heartily recommend this property!

Perfect size and location. We loved that it is so close to all the activities we wanted to do. The view is amazing! The lanai was a wonderful spot to watch the sunset each night. We really enjoyed our stay here. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. Pool was refreshing to cool off in. We would definitely stay gere again!

This rental was beyond our expectations. I have rented many times through VRBO and this place was the best equipped of any I have rented. The location was perfect. Lots of room for all us. The views from the deck were amazing. I wouuld definitely rent this place again.
Lynda and Craig do a great job hosting this property.

Our family of 6 adults had a perfect stay at Kona Lighthouse. All four bedrooms were comfortable and gracious. The swimming pool was welcome and sparkling. The house was well stocked with beach gear, cooking supplies and linens. The location was a quiet street with great ocean views. We could not have asked for a better stay. Ou

House worked perfectly for our group of 7. Lynda was great with communication and booking and arrangements were clear and easy. The caretaker on site was available and helpful. House had everything we needed. Would definitely rebook.

The property was as presented in the VRBO listing. Everyone was happy with the facility and the ability to make use of extras such as snorkeling equipment and the boogie board.
The interior living area was clean and met or exceeded our expectations. The large outdoor deck was used extensively while enjoying the fine weather that we experienced and we particularly enjoyed the view of the ocean.
We would seriously consider returning to this property if we returned to Kona.
A great home base for our multi-generational family gathering.

We had the best time at this home. It was very well equipped and so comfortable with plenty of space. We loved sitting outside and watching the incredible sunsets while having dinner. Wandering down to the beach for dawn swims in the surf. We had big cook ups to feed our party of 8 people. Terry onsite host was ever so helpful & just lovely. Thank you Lynda & Terry. We will love to stay again if we return.

If you are a large family like ours or even a couple of friends, this is the place to stay! Easy access to the beach and the Main Street restaurants.
Great kitchen to cook in and pool to play in!
