Kona Bayview Inn

This is BnBstyle in, with wonderful hosts, Thomas and Sharon. They reconstructed their house so that one of the sections of the L shape of the building has been turned into three hotel-like rooms, each with a comfy bed and private bath. The rooms lead out to a common area on the lanai, where breakfast is served in the morning and sunsets are viewed at night. There is ample space to either mingle with the other guests, or have some more private time. I can’t say enough about the home-made breakfasts, which were hot breakfasts made from scratch, and were served with freshly-picked fruit from the property. Because the inn is on a hill overlooking the ocean, the view was unbeatable, it was a perfect way to start and end every day, and I can’t recommend it any higher!

Sharon and Thomas are great hosts. Their sunset views are gorgeous and the breakfasts they served daily were amazing. two Step is near their place and it is an excellent place for snorkeling….I highly recommend this lovely place for your next vacation on the Big Island.

The hosts went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. Our daily breakfast was delicious and full of variety. We were provided great suggestions of places to visit and interesting historic information about the island. Thomas and Sharon are awesome. They really enjoy being hosts. The view from their property is truly amazing, and relaxing.

I cannot imagine anywhere else in this area of Kona, where you would be better located and cared for! This B&B is simply perfect, just three rooms all facing the porch and the wonderful, wonderful view. The rooms, the porch with the sofas, the bookshelf, the facilities for making yourself food or tea in the afternoon/evening are super cosy and nice and Sharon and Thomas are always there for any question or help. They provide you with the nicest breakfast, everyday something different and special and always a range of fresh fruit beautifully prepared and laid out! We think, that is the absolut nicest B&B we have been to!

This is a lovely place in so many ways. It has one low-slung building with 3 guest rooms and the personal home of our gracious and friendly hosts. Sharon and Thomas prepared a delicious and healthful breakfast each day with an array of local fruits and a different Hawaiian main dish each morning. The bed was good and we ate, read and socialized outside our rooms overlooking the bay.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely B&B overlooking the ocean. The room was large and comfortable with a beautiful lanai facing the sunset view. I can’t say enough about the exceptional breakfasts and the friendly hospitality of our gracious hosts. If you prefer a rural garden setting and don’t mind driving into the hills on winding roads, I highly recommend!!!

I needed a getaway. Work was long, divorce, snow, life etc. After 3 other trips (over 2.5 years) to my favorite US vacation spot got cancelled, I took a spin and decided to check "Hawaii" and "Active Volcanos" off my bucket list. Wow, I got so much more than I expected. I came back home more refreshed and rejuvenated than ever. And I travel a lot. Sharon and Thomas (and the other guests even) were inviting, warm and amazing. Great food (Sharon, I can still taste those muffins) both onsite and around. And the view from my room (and the lanai) were amazing. I found myself eager to get back at the end of the day, just to see the sunset. My new favorite US vacation spot.

We had such a relaxing stay. It was great to come back after a long day of hiking and sit out on the lanai. It was so peaceful and the view was gorgeous. Sharon and Thomas were exceptional hosts. They went out of there way to make us feel comfortable and to provide sight seeing guidance, And the breakfasts were out of this world! Wish we could have stayed longer!

We just stayed at the Kona Bayview Inn and it was incredible. The hosts, Sharon and Thomas, were gracious, generous and helpful. They provided everything that we needed. This spot can't be beaten for snorkeling - just minutes away from Honaunau (2-Step) and Captain Cook (great hike). It is also convenient to Kahalu'u. They provided a huge, gourmet breakfast each morning which kept us going all day. Every night the sunset was spectacular from the comfortable lanai. We can't wait to return.
