Loved the location and the view out to the ocean. Our hosts were great, and the room was comfortable. Plus, the breakfasts were delicious!

Sharon and Thomas were extremely welcoming and wonderful hosts. They were happy to give suggestions on things to do and see and graciously lent us snorkeling gear for the day. The daily breakfasts featured the freshest produce and fruits and were the highlight of our stay here.

Nothing really! Everything is so perfect!

I had the most peaceful and beautiful stay at this hotel. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous, and the view was breathtaking. What made it even better were the friendly cat and dog who added to the charm of the place. The breakfast options were delightful, with a variety of choices over the three days I stayed. It was a great way to start each day of my trip. The hotel offered a range of amenities that made my stay even more enjoyable, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Wifi and the public area are great! The rooms were not only spotlessly clean but also thoughtfully furnished with Hawaiian elements, creating a truly immersive experience. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

We had a fantastic stay at the Kona Bayview Inn. Sharon and Thomas are perfect hosts. We loved watching the sunset from the patio, the delicious breakfasts, and meeting cats and dog!

Stayed in September 2022

The drive in is along a very winding road, fun for some, but not too long.

This is the friendly, quiet B&B we all like, and with outstanding breakfasts, it's awesome. Sharon & Thomas are excellent hosts, attentive but never intrusive. Breakfasts are wonderful-lots of fruit from their property! And something hot, different every day: pastry with homemade jam, Portuguese hash, German apple pancake, etc. We spent too much time relaxing, reading, enjoying the view, the birds, and unwinding.

Breakfast was fantastic, innkeepers were lovely, room and property were spotless. Location was gorgeous and tucked away, with an amazing view perfect for sitting outside with a cold beverage of choice. A must stay!

We missed the driveway for the inn the first time. There was a sign nearby, but it could be a little better marked.

We used the Kona Bayview Inn as our base to explore the south Kona region. Thomas and Sharon were great hosts and provided an excellent homemade breakfast each morning. And the sunset views were incredible!

Nothing, but be careful coming down that driveway.

Great hosts! Great view and suggestions! Incredibly helpful and amazing breakfasts. Would definitely be back. Thank you

Breakfast was amazing!! They really go above and beyond. The room was very quiet, comfortable and clean. The host are so helpful and knowledgeable. They give you the best tips about spots to visit and best places to eat. Location for us was a little too far from the main Kona downtown (20 min drive) but I would still definitely stay there again.

I can't think of anything to improve. However, you do need a car to get here.

Clearly, the breakfasts were outstanding. Each of our three breakfasts was completely unique from the day before; the variety of the local fruits (some grown right on the property) was amazing. Coffee was also great. Each room had some beach chairs, towels, and a small cooler to use while out for the day. Very serene and peaceful (with just three guest rooms). We would definitely return to this place the next time we're on the Big Island. This location is ten minutes from Pu'uhonua o Honaunua Natl Historic Park, adjacent to 2-Step Beach. Make sure to visit the national park and do the Coastal Trail.

Having to leave and go back to winter

The view was amazing, beautiful sunsets over the ocean flanked by palm trees. Daytime a slope to the macadamia orchard below and the pacific beyond. The location is great with the place of refuge and two step about a 5 minute drive away. Some of the best snorkeling on the island at two step and several other beaches nearby. The breakfasts were always delicious with fresh tropical fruit and juice every morning along with something extra special made by Sharon. Were there 10 days and had a different cooked item every day and all were great. There is a telescope left out to get a better look at anything seen from the 180 degree view of the ocean from its 750 foot elevation. Did see a few whales a few mornings. Thomas let us explore the macadamia orchard and we picked up pocketfulls of nuts which we brought to the common lounge area to crack and eat with the provided cracker. It was nice to be greeted by Kulani , Thomas and Sharons dog when returning after each days excursions. I was lucky enough to get some fresh marlin from a fishing trip and Thomas put out a grill and all the tools needed to cook it up when asked.We all enjoyed it family style. We couldn't have asked for a better host and hostess or place to stay.

Nothing, it was perfect. No complaints from us.

Everything was fantastic! Thomas and Sharon were so kind and knowledgeable about things to do in the area. The room wasn't fancy but nice and clean with everything you would need (including beach chairs and pool noodles). The breakfasts were incredible, there are cute cats and a dog to hang out with, and the view is perfection. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

We had to leave :-(

This is the bestest B&B we have ever stayed! Sharon and Thomas are excellent hosts. The view from the front yard is gorgeous and open. We can see the ocean and orchard directly from the front yard. The location is not far from town and beaches, but it’s far enough to avoid city light and noise. All we can hear at night is Hawaiian nature sounds. The nights were mostly cloudy so we couldn't see the stars. If we came in dry season, I'm sure the sky will be beautiful. Sharon made us excellent breakfast with local fruits from their garden every morning. We can’t ask for more. Plus, there’re 6 cute cats and 1 super friendly dog!

Nothing! Five-star experience!

Very comfortable accommodations with a beautiful view. The breakfast provided was absolutely phenomenal! We were very pleased with the location. It really felt like a Hawaiian experience. Loved the comfortable lanai. We enjoyed interacting with the hosts and their pets. The property was well-maintained and comfortable. They provided supplies such as chairs, cooler, towels, or anything you may need just by asking. Very helpful and friendly! Really appreciated the refrigerator within the room.
