Big Island B&Bs, Inns and Vacation Rentals that Make for an Unforgettable Vacation
There’s a certain level of luxury and comfort that comes with a stay in a great hotel, but resorts aren’t for everyone. Thankfully, those seeking alternative accommodations to a larger vacation resort or hotel stay will find plenty to their liking on Hawaii’s Big Island. From high-end bed and breakfasts, beautiful country inns, and stunning vacation rentals, you have some incredible options when researching your next Big Island stay.

Bed and Breakfasts and Inns

Honu Kai Bed & Breakfast
74-1529 Hao Kuni St
Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

A quaint and elegant experience on a plantation-style estate overlooking the lush Kona Coast, the Honu Kai Bed & Breakfast is a remarkable establishment that rewrites the typical expectations found in bed and breakfasts. Exquisite decor, dense natural surroundings, and incredible fresh-cooked meals are just a few of the highlights. And with close proximity to Kailua-Kona’s dining, activities, and world-famous beaches, there’s no better place to call home during your Big Island getaway.

The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls

While an excellent B&B in its own right, the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls has the unique cherry on top in the state’s largest private waterfall. Staying at the inn grants exclusive access to the 100-foot waterfall that was used as a location in several major Hollywood movies, this is a unique benefit not available with other accommodations in Hilo. The inn itself is a sight to behold, with tasteful interior design and private residences available to guests – and of course, a fresh, locally-sourced breakfast is included.

Vacation Rentals

Vacation Rentals have revolutionized travel lodging and for good reason: you’ll often get more for your money than what a hotel or motel can offer. Everything from a private room to an expansive estate rental are available on the Big Island through VRBO’s service, ensuring you’ll find something right for you and your guests no matter your needs. Prices Range quite a bit depending on amenities, but there is generally something for everyone out there. Check Out Big Island VRBO rentals to find something just right for your Hawaii adventure.
