He'eia Bay Beach Bungalow (Big Island)

Thoughtfully curated home which was clean and comfortable and everything we needed for our stay. Our host was easy going and helpful when needed. Would recommend!

If youre looking for an ideal place to stay in Kona, I recommend it here. Good communication with the host, clean ans spacious home, safe neighborhood, clean and all the amenities you can ask for.

This property was everything promised and more! Beautiful home off the golf course with amazing kitchen and overall layout. Incredibly close to the grocery store, shops, and movie theater. Less than 15min to downtown Kona which was a nice break from tourists. The outdoor shower was a huge plus and made cleaning our dive gear so much faster. The owner has beach chairs and a few snorkels available which saved us some money. Overall a wonderful stay. We would love to come back again!

I want to first thank Kirsten for being such a responsive property manager! We had a wonderful time in this home and really enjoyed the calm and safety of the neighborhood. Our small family of 4 just returned home yesterday. We spent 6 days and 5 nights in this home. This would have been the last trip with our moms together but unfortunately my mom couldn’t make it. We wanted to keep things as low key as possible and this home provided that for us. There’s a small rocky beach directly adjacent to the home and then it’s just a short walk down to the shoreline. The first thing we did was take the kids snorkeling. We absolutely loved the functionality of the front patio. It has a shower outside so we were able to rinse off before going inside. The front patio also has a lock so we felt safe leaving all of our wet towels and shoes outside. We found two tiny lizards inside but we were actually quite fascinated by them because we’ve never seen them up close like that before. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to make a basic meal including spices and coffee. You’ll want to make sure you pack a lunch and prepare to cook breakfast and dinner because the shops and restaurants are either closed or closes at 4pm. We definitely put the kitchen to use. Overall, this was a 10/10 home! We hope to visit again soon!

Very nice stay at this property, centrally located for trips to north, south and east, convenient shopping center with markets and restaurants nearby. Property very well cared for with many amenities.

Can't say enough nice things about the house. Great exteriors and interiors and ideal location, with easy access to activities and conveniences. Highly recommended!

The house and location had everything we were looking for and more! We hope to stay there again on our next trip to the Big Island.

My family did a 12-day trip to Kona, Hilo, and Kauai and stayed here for 4 nights--out of all the properties we tried out, this one was our favorite, hands-down. The house is HUGE, perfectly laid out for 4 adults, with so much usable space. We loved walking through the front gate to the front 'courtyard' area, but our favorite was the massive lanai in the back. The yard abuts the golf course but has so much privacy and has been curated really painstakingly--we loved identifying all the fruit trees and just sitting out there with our breakfast or listening to the birds. The kitchen was well-stocked with many items, and we really appreciated also having all the laundry sundries, etc. The neighborhood itself is super close to a grocery store/PO/shave ice/etc, and there is a path in front of the house that leads right down to the ocean (no beach, all black lava rock). We enjoyed walking down there and looking at the fish. There is also a nearby condo resort unit where we enjoyed taking walks. It's a safe area with lots of people nearby. We really never wanted to leave, and if we come back to Kona I'll definitely be looking to see if this place is still available.

The house was fantastic! It was very clean, well stocked with essentials and in a great neighborhood with a beach right across the street and down a short path. It is centrally located for all that Kona side has to offer. We would definitely stay there again.

Our home was exceptional. Beautiful, tastefully decorated and every amenity you could possibly need. Mahalo for sharing your home!

This was a perfect home for my husband and me for several days and then for me solo as a 70 year old. The neighborhood felt very safe. House on a golf course with minimal activity. Beautiful and quiet. House very clean and well equipped. Loved the lanais in back of house with fans. We were there in February, and seldom used the AC. Kept blinds toward sun closed during the day and opened up for outside cooler air late evening. Used overhead fans. In summary… awesome location, very clean and nice house. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house, great location. We had an excellent time and would stay here again.

Great we’ll stocked home! Relaxing lanai facing the golf course. Everything was perfect and better than we expected. Super hosts and very easy to communicate with. Took care of all our requests with a smile! Highly recommended and will hopefully can visit again soon!

Wonderful house in a quiet part of the Big Island but still close to all you could want. We were 4 adult travelers and were all very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the garage has all the beach goods one could need - chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards etc. There is a quiet small bay across the street and a larger one a 5 minute walk away. There is a supermarket and shopping plaza 3 minutes drive away too. We hope to be able to book this wonderful home again.

WOW is an understatement for describing this property. Our family spent a week enjoying this beautiful home in its perfect location, and we can't wait to return. Checking in was a breeze and our thoughtful hosts followed up upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed; they were also able to accommodate a late check out (thanks again!). We loved drinking our morning coffee on the lanai, or at the little ocean cove across the street. The larger Keahuhou Bay is a quick walk away as well, and was perfect for a day of stand up paddle boarding. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

We loved out stay in Kona. The house was beautiful and well-maintained. Lots of amenities that made it very comfortable for our family of four. This was a great location that was just a few minutes to shopping, restaurants, and beaches. We stayed in a few nights just to enjoy the lanai and the backyard. Beautiful place!

It’s a serene, private, comfortable home, and only steps away from an isolated little bay. Grab some groceries up the street and you just might cook the best food on the island, right in your own well-equipped kitchen.

Excellent place to stay on the Big Island—close to everything we wanted and in a beautiful location. Thank you!

Great place. Management company is very communicative. The beach (Heeia Bay) is right across the street and well maintained. It is a rocky beach but a nice place to snorkel or watch the sunset. My only peeve is that the finding the light switches to some of the lights is tricky.

100% meets all expectations! Loved the place. Clean and everything needed was provided inside. Will definitely stay here again

We loved the house. The kitchen in particular was very well stocked, big and open to the entire living area. The cove across the street was easily accessible and the snorkeling was as good as anywhere on the island.

Excellent house for a home base on the big island. The space accommodated 4 adults and 2 kids quite well. Big open kitchen, dining and living spaces provided excellent opportunities for dining in and hanging out before and after long day excursions. The house was well stocked from the kitchen to beach necessities. We highly recommend this house and the Elite team managing it.

Fantastic house, great location right next to the water, lots of amenities, would love to return.

Beautiful home. Very well stocked. Quiet neighborhood with ocean access right across the street. Our Elite Vacation rep made the process very smooth and we felt they were very professional.

This house was very clean and nice. Location was amazing. Just a quick 1 minute walk to the beach for morning coffee and evening sunsets. There is plenty of beach gear to make some great days at the beach with chairs, toys, umbrellas, and boogie boards. The Gardner showed up and was so polite and very helpful for local spots - great guy! The house host was also very polite and quick to respond and help us with everything we needed to provide for all of the COVID docs. Kitchen was very well stocked and organized, which was such a plus with a family of 5 for the week it made cooking all meals at home very nice with everything you could need for any type of meal. Overall, great, clean, great location, everything we needed. Would recommend this house and would stay again!

My family stayed here for 11 nights over Christmas and it was perfection. Two adults, two small kids. Outdoor shower to clean the kids off after the beach, huge yard and covered porch for outdoor dinners, relaxing, playing. Every amenity in the kitchen you could need. Netflix, great internet, standing desk for working. Steps from (rocky) public access where we found amazing shells. Easy drive north or south and to groceries, coffee. Will be staying again- thank you!
