About this house rental
Kahaluu Beach Holmes is a great vacation rental property with a spectacular view! We are located a short 300 feet from Kahaluu Beach, one of the Island’s premier snorkeling beaches. Our home offers unrivaled views of the beach and a panoramic view of the pacific ocean from our large lanais. We offer 4400 sq ft of living space on two levels and can sleep 10 comfortably. Larger groups contact us prior to booking.
The top two floors of the 3 story home, that are approximately 2200 sq ft each. Both floors have two king bedrooms / two bathrooms, a full size furnished kitchen, large living room, and private lanai with beautiful ocean views. For larger groups each level has a comfortable queen size futon with a 'real' mattress, the 2nd floor has an additional queen size Murphy bed in the living room. This allows beds for 10 plus the futons.
Each floor has a private entrance as well as a comfortable indoor split level stairway that joins them.
The house is fully furnished, there is great off street parking, laundry, WIFI, cable, and the view from the top floor is unmatched. Unquestionably one of the best vacation rentals in the area.
We are located 300 feet (an easy walk down the driveway) from Kahaluu Beach! Undoubtedly one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Fed by a fresh water spring, up to 10 million gallons per day. These waters are almost always calm, with colorful corals, rock formations, and 100+ species of fish. Swim with huge schools of colorful fish and green sea turtles in these protected waters; don't forget your underwater camera!
The north end of the beach is where the waves break and is best for body boarding and surfing. The local surf instructors give lessons there on a regular basis. Kahaluu is well loved because of the calm, protected waters - perfect for families and kids as well as the adventurous wave seeker. Shady trees surround this beautiful sandy beach. Facilities include a pavilion, rest rooms, showers, a lifeguard tower. Concession stands, surf school and beach gear rental.
Please call with any questions!

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
The house was very accommodating, we had a great time beautiful views from the lānai. It’s central to pretty much everything. Highly recommended, great for large group.

This home was perfect for our informal family group of 4 adults and 3 kids. The location could not have been better for surfing, snorkeling and convenience. The host and on-location manager were very responsive and helpful prior to and during our stay. The plentiful deck space was well used for morning coffee, watching the kids surf, outdoor dining, game nights and drying out all those bathing suits and towels. We definitely would stay here again!
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Great: Fantastic location across from the snorkel beach and easy access to magic sands and downtown Kona.Beautiful views from the lanai and plenty of seating on both balconies and in living rooms. The house layout was perfect for our family of ten with king beds in the four bedrooms, two pull out couches downstairs and one pull out couch upstairs. The downstairs neighbor (and whomever came to feed the cats downstairs) was very kind and shared knowledge of beaches and places to go around the island. Average: There were exactly 10 ten bath towels and exactly 10 beach towels. It was enough since we had 10 people, but don’t expect to have extra if you need to clean something up or use a hair towel (ladies). Same for bedding. As others mentioned, the lack of AC was expected. There was one fan per room so we did shuffling around the house when we were in common spaces and before bed. It worked out, but more would have been better. Overall it was clean, not excellent, but clean. Needs work:The host doesn’t check the vrbo message center. It would be hours or days before a response and it would come in a private text message with reminder to text privately. I ended up just adding the texts to the message center for vrbo records. Overall a great, economical option for a large family. We had a wonderful week in a gorgeous place.

You stay here because of the location. Being a short walk away from some excellent snorkeling and beautiful views are the standouts of this Vrbo. It is also a short drive to downtown Kona and to a nearby shopping area with a grocery store. The accommodation itself is dated and would be surprised if it was ever updated and there are aspects of the house the need a refresh especially considering the price point of the home. Furthermore given the 400 cleaning fee I would expect the home to be spotless upon arrival but it was not. If you are looking for a pleasant and simple place near a prime snorkeling spot this is your place. But its cost point and lackluster accommodation quality would have me looking at other options in the future.
