Great Place

by Richard 2025-04-07

5/5

Great place to stay with access to many attractions

Beautiful Home

by Dorothy 2025-02-17

We stayed seven weeks and loved the house. It is a beautiful home. We did call Kona Coast twice during our stay and they responded within that day and solved the issues.The grounds are lovely with a rabbit and a rooster that would come up to the front door in the morning to be fed. You can take a 5 minute walk to a wonderful restaurant. We could get fresh fruit from the grounds and pick fantastic bouquets. We would return!

Gorgeous home

by Debbie 2024-12-28

Gorgeous home, comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, and extras like snorkeling gear made our stay easy and enjoyable.Short walk to great coffee, shops, and art galleries. Easy access to anywhere on the island.

Relaxing Get Away

by Stephen 2024-12-03

Great place to stay for a relaxing get away. From sun rise to sun set the views are amazing. Lots of space throughout the property to unplug from the day to day and reflect on other aspects of your life. There was a restaurant/bar and coffee shop with in walking distance from the house

Absolutely Amazing!

by Stephanie 2024-11-11

Loved the view from this property absolutely amazing! The yard was breathtaking🌴🌴🌴

Orchis Hale Is Special Gem

by Bryan 2024-07-05

We loved our trip! The house was very clean, and well appointed. The Orchid Hale is a special gem. We loved being out of the commercial zone, enjoying the beautiful property, wonderful sunsets, and listening to Coqui Frogs at night. The beach and snorkel gear provided were a big plus.

Loved Every Minute

by James 2024-06-25

Beautiful place, amazing location was secluded but short walk to fantastic dining and shopping. Loved every minute. If noises bother you, roosters and Koki frogs could be an issue. I didn't mind either. We hope to return some day!

Fantastic Hawaiian Home with Ocean View

by Rebecca 2024-06-13

We had a great experience. The property listing and pictures were exactly what we’ve enjoyed during our stay. We’ve walked the property every day and our grandchildren have really enjoyed the trees and beautiful flowers. Thank you for everything! Will recommend!

A Beautiful, Beautiful Home

by Leeann 2024-04-19

This house was MORE than described...a beautiful, beautiful home with everything we needed for comfort AND fun. We appreciated the sand chairs, umbrellas and cooler, as well as floaties. There was no skimping on toilet paper, paper towels, or garbage bags. They even provided some laundry soap. We wondered why they had earplugs in the bedrooms....it was the evening frogs...LOL..After night one, we enjoyed falling asleep to their music. The gardens were lovely..and the views devine! Kudos to KonaCoast Vacations for the welcome gift, fluffed pillows and flowers and plants on the tables. We felt truly pampered!?

a very special place

by Lori 2024-04-09

The location was exactly what I was hoping for, close to everything but felt like a far away land. The sunsets on the ocean from the screened in porch were amazing and the acre of tropical landscaping did not disappoint. We all agreed it was a very special place.

amazing views

by Nolan 2024-01-07

Stayed here with my parents, my sister in law, my wife and our daughter. Everything about the stay was great and the property management was the best we've ever had. Less than 15 minutes to respond ton any issues and issues were fixed right away. The property is large and secluded with amazing views of the water and sunsets. The one downside is that the location is about 15 minutes away from everything like beaches, major stores etc. There is a small area for coffee and food nearby though that can be walked to. Otherwise the amenities were great and we would definitely return.

Property is Stunning

by Susan 2023-11-21

This property is it true Hawaii Island escape. Sitting on several acres surrounded by fruit bearing trees, stunning vegetation, manicured lawns, and stunning views of the ocean. This authentic-style Hawaiian home takes advantage of the cool trade winds allowing you to become part of nature with absolute privacy. Dining on the larger Lanai is breathtaking. This property includes a complimentary concierge who will help you plan your entire stay on the island. We will most definitely be booking this beautiful property again on our next day on the main island.

Loved the house

by Jennifer 2023-10-24

Loved the house and the location. The town is so cute.

We had an Amazing time

by Oscar 2023-10-07

Our 1st vacation as a family, and we had an amazing time staying at this location. It was a lot more and beautiful than expected. The experience here was great with so much to see and do. Neighbors were very nice and welcoming! It was also a great place to start the day and plan our day-to-day adventures. Definitely look forward to staying here again in the future! Mahalo (:

Property was clean and well-managed

by Laurie 2023-09-30

We loved the house and the property! The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We cooked dinner every night, so we appreciated having a kitchen that was very functional and easy to use. The beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the cool, “zen” feel of the house. Most of all, the view was spectacular! And, the bunny visited every day, which delighted our three-year-old granddaughter. We all agreed we would consider staying in that house the next time we come to Hawaii Island. And, we will definitely contact Kona Coast Vacations again. We appreciate all the information you sent us which very helpful, and we thought the property was clean and well-managed.

property was beautiful!

by Laurie 2023-09-27

The property was beautiful! We loved the location - not close to a beach, but on the mountain side surrounded by coffee plants and lots of other lush vegetation. Not only was the property gorgeous but we enjoyed the daily visits from a couple of chickens and a bunny. Our little granddaughter was very excited about the animals! The house was very comfortable and well-appointed, with an inviting zen-like feel. Dinner every night on the lanai was a must so that we could watch the spectacular sunsets.

Everything was Stellar!

by Hannah 2023-08-28

Everything about our stay at the Orchid Inn was stellar. From start to finish, Kona Coast Vacations was communicative and accommodating. We received some of the best instructions from any rental company - thorough directions (even with pictures!), well-times emails preparing us for tour trip, calls from a representative letting us know then were available as a resources for our vacation needs and also to check in to see how we were doing (not too many calls, just enough). This rental company was a joy to work with. The property is gorgeous, inside and out. We spent most of our time enjoying the lanai, watching the animals and taking in the incredible view. The house is gorgeous inside, plenty of room for the five of us. We had all the amenities we needed - a fully stocked kitchen (even Tupperware and to go mugs!), beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler), and plenty of outside seating. There were even a couple small tables with chairs nestled into lovely corners of the yard. The property is 15 minutes up the hill from downtown Kona and grocery stores, and a short walk down the driveway will get you to the little art district of Holualoa where you'll find coffee shops and little boutiques, even a small general store. We would recommend this property to anyone, and hope we can make it back for another trip. It was my parents' first time in Hawaii, and they both want to stay at this property again. It's a mountain oasis, and really made our trip! We all hope it's still available the next time we plan a trip to Hawaii.

one of our favorite properties on the island

by Tony 2023-08-19

Away from the hustle of Kona, this property sits on the side of Mauna Loa in an arts village called Holualoa. Even being away from the town, there are still expansive views and it is one of our favorite properties on the island. Great communication and easy to get into, although make sure to follow the directions to the place that are sent by the manager as Google Maps can't get you there.

Gorgeous view

by Xin 2023-08-10

We enjoyed the farm setting of this house. Frogs sing at night and roosters wake us up in the morning. Gorgeous view from all the windows. Very comfortable house and beds at the same time.

Perfect for our Group

by Betsy 2023-05-31

Perfect for our group of six adults. We loved having meals on the lanai and the glorious sunsets.

Amazing Vacation

by Diana 2023-05-15

This property was exactly as described and more. All the amenities included! We had boogie boards, beach, chairs, and beach towels, washer and dryer! All the appliances work fantastic and it was a nice surprise to have a coffee press! The view is amazing! Beautiful way to wake up every morning with the light coming in from every window, hearing the frogs, roosters, and everything else come to live each morning was perfect! Never slept better! The beds were super comfortable everything was clean and tidy. My son proposed to his girlfriend at the botanical gardens, which made it even more special. Play games at night and we have plenty of room for six adults. Thank you thank you! I will definitely recommend and if we ever go back, we would love to stay again. Amazing vacation we will forever have memories there.

Magnificent Property

by Tony 2023-01-08

This property was magnificent. It was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of any city life and sitting just on top of the small village of Holualoa. The frogs sang you to sleep and they did leave a large box of earplugs for the roosters in the morning. Great property and would definitely stay there again!

Absolutely Perfect Place

by Jeff 2022-12-29

After the hullabaloo of travel to the island and trying to find this accommodation by the light of the moon, when we arrived, we were gobsmacked by its beauty. The midnight frog songs and morning bird chorus were mesmerizing. What an absolutely perfect place to call home for our stay in Holualoa. This accommodation is wonderful. We felt a warm welcome and were sad to leave. Directions could be more clear especially to find it at night. But the house had everything one would need and more. It's super private and the lanais look down on the property's own mini coffee plantation & beautiful landscape and with views to Kona and the ocean below.

Stunning

by Elizabeth 2022-12-26

This house is off the beaten path but close to everything. we had plenty of room and everything we needed. every evening we would all line up on the deck to watch the spectacular sunsets over the water. The privacy and views from this house are stunning. we had a wonderful time spending Christmas with our two adult children. We would stay here again!

Grew to Love the Place

by Alice 2022-11-28

To be honest the first time I stepped into the home I was questioning my decision. I quickly processed that this is a home for Hawaii and not Kansas City. We grew to love the place quickly. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. I was prepared to listen to a lot of Roosters crowing based on other reviews, but that was not the case at all. We had one small problem with a toilet, and it was fixed immediately. It is a little hard to find and you have to drive past two other homes to get there. I would stay here again.

Enjoyed the Property

by Robert 2022-10-23

We really enjoyed the property. The inside of the house was perfect for us. The location not so much.

Loved Staying Here

by Jesse 2022-10-12

we loved staying there. The entire property was amazing, filled with fun little surprises like seeing the white rabbit all the time and a wild boar in the neighborhood! I even enjoyed the frogs at night.

Comfortable and well stocked

by Sally 2022-08-20

We were very happy with this rental property! Everything was comfortable and well stocked. One of our favorite features was the deck area with a table and chairs to relax and play card games...the area was well screened, so that there was no problems with bugs, etc. but was also surrounded by a beautiful, large, red-flowered plant which attracted lots of beautiful birds and nature. As well, the grounds of the house were a very special experience for our family. There were absolutely beautiful flowers and plants as well as fruit trees, coffee trees and a few cool critters here and there, including a lovely white rabbit. Just fun to take walk around in the morning with a coffee in-hand. Yes, there was the sound of nature at night -i.e. frogs and such - we just used the ear plugs provided at first and didn't even really notice the sounds by the time we left. Lastly, we really enjoyed the temperature...being slightly higher-up in altitude we found it to be a great location to cool off after a hot day on the beach. At the same time, it was still only about 15-20 minutes to everything. One more thing, we loved the art stores and such within easy walking distance of the house - approx. 10 minute walk. I would give this house more than 10 if I could!

Sunsets are Beautiful

by Queenie 2022-08-07

It was nice staying at a place when you wake up and really feel you're in Hawaii. Sunsets are beautiful and you can see it from master's bedroom, living room and downstairs bedroom. The place is clean. I just wished there was an AC (however there are fans in the garage you can use) and the downstairs bedroom has access from the main house. The place is safe and is well-equipped with necessities. Don't forget to check out the garage as the property management supplied some noodles, boogie boards, etc to use. This place is very spacious. Property management response is adequate. Thank you for letting us stay!

Wonderful stay on the Big Island

by John 2022-07-05

Orchid Inn was a beautiful place to stay on the Big Island. The location was a touch hard to find the first time, but then we appreciated being up the hill with fantastic views. It's a short drive down to Kailua-Kona and we used it as a springboard for trips to the Kilauea, Hilo, and the north shore. The screened-in lanai is fantastic. The kitchen is well supplied. Good washer and dryer. Just perfect. The frogs and roosters are a bit loud, but we got used to them (the ear plugs in the downstairs apartment were appreciated). We'll stay here again if and when we come back to Hawai'i.

Quiet, peaceful, colorful

by Christina 2022-06-18

I'm so happy we decided to stay at this location and not in Kailua proper. It was only a short drive to all the major attractions and conveniences of greater Kona, but the property gave the illusion of seclusion on the mountain. It was quiet, peaceful, colorful. There's wide variety of flora on site, and a fair amount of fauna, too. I personally loved the frog serenade each night and rooster chorus at dawn. (There are earplugs in the home for those who didn't.) We enjoyed several breathtaking sunsets from the lanai. The early morning vista, with the water glistening in the distance, is equally as beautiful. It is a short walk to the center of Holualoa, an artsy hub with a neat vibe. There are a few galleries, boutiques, and a great coffee shop. If you're lucky enough to visit in the beginning of the month, you will enjoy the local food vendors and music of First Friday. The home itself is clean, spacious, and fully-stocked with anything you might need for your comfort. The cooler temperatures at that altitude make AC unnecessary. The window screens and ceiling fans help to push air around, otherwise it might get a bit damp. The value of the wrap-around lanai (open and screened) cannot be overstated. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it for anyone looking for a central, yet peaceful spot from which to enjoy Hawaii Island.

Gorgeous View

by Robert 2022-05-30

Orchid Hale was a wonderful place, and perfect for our 5 adults. The screened in lanai was the main location for eating and hanging out. The seclusion had two sides. It was beautiful with a gorgeous view. On the other hand, the place is up a shared driveway from a 1 lane road. It was a challenge to drive at night (if you have 74-year old eyes and nerves). Secondly, unless you are used to nighttime noises, the coqui and roosters are a bit loud. Ear plugs are a must minimum.

Relaxing, Beautiful Scenery

by Christine 2022-05-29

High on the mountain with its head in the clouds sits a lovely 3 bedroom 3 bath home with modern kitchen and open air layout. So Quiet, relaxing, and comfortable we hope to get back soon. Kitchen well stocked, lots of comfortable seating options inside and out, with beautiful surrounding scenery.

Love this home

by Laura 2022-04-30

We love this home. Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable. The perfect size for 3 mature couples.

Very Nice!

by Greg 2021-12-12

Renting the property was easy with no problems. House was very nice. Pretty location if you wanted to be a bit away from the hustle and bustle. It was just 10-15 min away from many stores and activities. One drawback- roosters took awhile to get used to, very loud.

The Orchid Inn was such a delightful place

by Shweta 2021-08-31

The home is spacious and has lovely wooden interiors. We woke up to gorgeous sunrises and ended the day with a different sunset every time. The lanai is screened in which we loved. It rained everyday, the temperatures were cool at night and early morning. Loved being put to sleep by the tree frogs and being woken up by the roosters nearby. There are ear plugs provided in case needed. The gardens at the property as just wonderful. We loved the green that constantly surrounded us- colorful tropical plants and flowers, and even the gorgeous and very curious but shy geckos. It was nice to stay up in Holualoa and drive to the snorkel within a few minutes. Our concierge, David, was most helpful, prompt and courteous. Loved the experience we had.

Beautiful Location!

by Nicole 2021-08-12

My family and I desperately needed a vacation after 2020. We selected our first VRBO at Orchid Inn and we were blown away by the quality. Absolutely beautiful location, convenient, and a great rate. One thing to note- there is a frog infestation on the island so don't expect silent nights. The provided earplugs were helpful. The frogs would not deter us from visiting Orchid Inn again!

Everything was excellent!

by Suzanne 2021-08-10

Excellent!! Everything was as advertised- no surprises!

Beautiful!

by Richard 2021-06-15

Centrally located for everything. Restaurants, beaches and farmers markets. Day trips to Volcano National Park, Waipio valley and Hilo are very easy from Orchid Inn. Plus, the grounds at the house are beautiful and the sunsets from the lanai are spectacular.

Magical!

by Jacqueline 2021-05-17

Magical tropical setting with fantastic gardens! The interior of the house is very tastefully decorated with wonderful artistic touches.

This home is Fantastic!

by Shaun 2021-05-14

This home is fantastic! It's so quiet and secluded we almost forgot we had neighbors. Except for the frogs...they do love to sing at night. The bedrooms are spacious & light and the showers in the en suite bathrooms are actually comfortable for a taller person. We really appreciated the large kitchen since we prepared most of our meals at the house and we loved the dining area on the screened-in porch. They also provide a washer and dryer (so we were able to pack light), a nice barbecue grill for cooking out, and coolers, beach mats, and beach chairs for outings. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to the island.

Loved it!

by Christine 2019-07-26

We stayed at The Orchid Inn in Kona and it was beautiful! Amazing views and you can see the sun setting. Big kitchen and nice open space for the living room, dining area and kitchen. Whomever decorated did a really nice job on the place. The gardens surrounding the property are stunning with lots of flowers blooming. There were lychee fruit growing up high in the trees and it must have been the groundskeepers who cut down a branch full of lychee and left it on the front porch for us - they were yummy! There is a long private driveway so there is some space between the homes there. Privacy and lots of birds singing. They do have a few roosters that wake up early so you may need some earplugs for that (they have lots of disposable available at the house), but if you have been to Hawaii you know that the roosters are a familiar voice. The beds were also very comfortable! Very handy to have a washer and dryer. It is about a 10 minute drive down the hill to get to the center of Kona Kailua, but the drive is easy and actually quite lovely with all the beautiful trees and plants growing there. Really enjoyed our stay!

Highly recommend....magical and unique!

by Sue 2019-02-05

We had a wonderful time, the orchid inn Is a magical unique home, Both comfortable and beautiful. Besides for the beautiful location, we also appreciated the home's great decorating. There were all kinds of extra touches such as very well stocked kitchen.

The Orchid Inn is balm for the soul!

by Antonia 2019-01-11

David was very responsive and helpful in arranging kayaking, whale watching, the luau and the submarine, in addition to providing helpful information about the local scene we would otherwise not have had accessible to us. You do, however, need to pay attention to some of the electrical issues I mentioned in the earlier note. I would recommend this property for a family like ours, recognizing that not everyone wants a peaceful setting filled with nature.

Beautiful Setting

by Michael 2018-03-21

Beautiful paradise setting. We enjoyed our stay at The Orchid Inn. My 10 year old grandson was so impressed, he asked if we could leave a thank you note for the owner.

Amazing Experience

by Timothy 2018-07-05

My wonderful husband planned our trip to the Big Island and found the Orchid Inn online. He had been to the Big Island before and said it was his favorite Island. Staying here at the Orchid Inn has been and amazing experience. The grounds, I enjoyed exploring the grounds and picking the fruit from the trees. I love Lilikoi and wish it had been in season. I absolutely fell in love with this house, every part of the design and being able to keep it open. It is such a comfortable place to stay and would love to return. The Lanai is amazing and the funky mirror that opens to a screened window just made me appreciate whoever customized the Orchid Inn. I sincerely enjoyed every moment of our stay even during Kilauea's eruption, haze in the sky. Hawaii has now won a place in my heart. I hope to return soon

Orchid Inn

by Christine 2018-01-01

We absolutely enjoyed our time at your beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us. Mahalo!

Holiday Dream

by Keiran 2017-06-01

The house to commence our Holiday dream. Beautifully presented and offering every conceivable thing required to a point where it was very hard to leave..It was a real pleasure to arrive at the house. Even to find flowers in a vase. I am a florist by trade,so to walk around the garden an see all the wonderful fruit and flowers was a real joy. We even found a Bat flower in bloom, which we picked and had in a vase the whole time we were here. The view from the house is lovely, as we watched watched the cruise boats come in and out.
Thank you for a lovely Holiday

All we hoped for!

The house and setting are all we hoped it would be! We loved walking down into the village for coffee, driving to Kona for dinner, volcano National Park, Waipio Valley, Kua Bay, kayaking and snorkeling! All the fruit trees and flowers give this place the feeling of paradise. How I wish we had this view and could leave the windows open all day at home. Thank to all our hosts and guides here in Hawaii.

Orchid Inn review

by Anonymous 2017-01-04

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at the Orchid Inn. A specious and open property with a great view of the Kona area and the ocean. The yard was a great bonus, full of flowers and fruit, as well as the vocal chickens. Date of Stay: Dec 2016

Accurate Listing

by David 2017-02-02

4/5

A very accurate listing from the pictures, to the seclusion to the early morning choir of chickens and roosters. If you are a light sleeper take ear plugs. Very nice house but located at around 1500 ft so it is cooler in the evenings and morning. If you are looking for beach and hot sunny deck this is not it. Definitely need a vehicle but if you want to see anything you would no matter where you stayed. Surprised that the island does not adopt a more user friendly recycling program even for just cans and bottles.

Holualoa Heaven

Loved the cooler temp up in the mountain area. House and grounds were more than I could ever completely describe. I would definitely stay there again when traveling to the Big Island. Beach equipment provided was very helpful. Snorkel gear, mats, coolers, boogie boards etc. I would advise people to rent a small car though as the driveway is narrow and hard to navigate, I had a minivan but had to exchange it for a versa for peace of mind. Property management and concierge service were on top of everything and our vacation was wonderful. Mahalo!!

Blissful

by Chris 2017-01-13

We had a lovely stay here at the Orchid Inn - absolutely blissful. We love the location and how cool it is compared to sea-level. The nearby town is adorable, and town/beaches are never too far away. We recommend you have socks and long pants for the lovely, brisk mornings and evenings. We got used to and grew quite fond of the rooster crows each morning, but you may opt for earplugs.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time on the Big Island. The Orchid Inn made our stay especially relaxing as it provided everything we needed for two kids, two parents, and two grandparents.

Vaca at the Orchid Inn

by Michael 2016-06-10

Excellent property, lots of living space, great kitchen and BBQ, nice Lanai, lots of wrap around porch, great decor. If you like being in the midst of the tropics, the Orchid Inn gives you the full experience and the night life lights up when the sun goes down and the night birds and other creatures begin their songs. We had an excellent time!

Home away from home!

by Stephanie 2016-07-14

We absolutely LOVED this rental!! It was so beautiful, airy, and spacious with so much natural light and a gorgeous view of Kona. Our favorite part was the enclosed lanai where we actually spent most of our time. It was nice being able to feel like we were outside without being bombarded by bugs! We were especially pleased with how secluded we felt with all the trees and plants surrounding the property. It really made it feel like we were completely away from the hustle and bustle of town. Definitely make sure to check out the cafe that is literally at the end of the driveway! It is called Holuakoa Cafe. We were pleasantly surprised when we had stumbled upon it on our walk and were even more pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. All in all, our visit was just about perfect! We will for sure be coming back to stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing you little slice of paradise with us!

The Orchid Inn is absolutely beautiful, spacious, with nice cool breezes; and its location is perfect for sightseeing all the various destinations in Kona and beyond.

Spectacular view and garden

by Jennifer 2016-08-15

We had an awesome time at the Orchid Inn. It was a great house with a spectacular view. The local critters provided a nightly symphony. The chickens were noisy but the fit right in with the frogs and birds. Thanks for the lovely visit.

The Right Place at the Right Time for a Great Island Experience

by Joseph 2016-11-14

Location, location, location... The Orchid Inn was more than that, though. First, we liked being above it all. We had great views to the western setting sun over the ocean from the screened lanai but it also provided us with privacy and seclusion. The Orchid Inn provided that seclusion along with beautiful grounds and home to match. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with screens on most doors and windows. We have nothing but good things to say about it. A very short walk to a cafe and coffee shop. It was not an unreasonable distance for us to drive to Volcanoes NP or other areas of the island. Five stars!
