Book North Kona Hotels

"We assumed a hospitality listing would have A/C in a warm climate. We were wrong. Warm temps were uncomfortable. There is minimal privacy for couples. The windows are covered only by screens which can be covered by shutter blinds with gaps. One window in the front room has no covering except a screen - so anyone around can always hear into the residence at all times. A second VRBO residence on the property requires its residents to walk right by that open window to get to their residence. The lack of A/C requires residents to keep the windows open for air anyway. The windows being open reduces privacy given the proximity of other VRBO residents and the homeowner. And lastly, the windows being open at night prevents residents from blocking out the extremely loud noise of the frogs that live in the trees at night. The pool is shown in the pictures as being private, yet it is behind the property owner’s house. To put it mildly, everything that I expected about this stay was deceptively advertised in the posting. "

"This was an amazing place to stay! Property manager was great and very quick to respond when we had questions.Would definitely stay here again!Clean, spacious and relaxing!"

"Cute cottage in a serene and unique location! Very close to Kona and the beach while also feeling remote. Lisa is a communicative and thoughtful host."

"The rooms were clean and communication was easy! The coffee is amazing and meow meow was super sweet."

"The property sits high on a hill, good spot for sunsets. We recommend getting there during daylight but we've arrived after dark before and the host was able to guide us to the lodging. We like coming here for several nights at the start of our trip, it's not that far from the airport and it's nice and private. The bed had a nice cozy comforter and the bed was comfortable."

"The Orchid Hale was more than we could have imagined. The property was so beautiful that we walked it several times during our stay. The lanai kept drawing us in for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The views were spectacular. The kitchen had everything we needed. The house was clean. It was a dream stay for my family. Nothing like we had ever stayed in before and would do it again and again. "
