Ten days of Kona coffee culture: Hawaii's oldest food festival returns Nov 6-15
About 55th Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival
For 55 years the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival has been the Big Island's signature gathering - ten days of farm tours, the Lantern Parade down Ali'i Drive, the Ho'olaule'a celebration and the cupping competition that crowns Kona's best brew. Coffee lovers, chefs and culture seekers fly in for a once-a-year look behind the curtain of the world's most famous coffee region.
Staying in a private villa in Kailua-Kona means your group wakes to the same hillsides where the festival's coffee grows - host a farm-to-table tasting on your own lanai between events, instead of shuttling back to a resort tower.

How we screen every stay
Every home we represent is someone's personal residence, in a real neighborhood, and we've committed to the owner and their neighbors that we'll place it only with guests whose plans fit the home. So, like most professionally managed homes, we confirm a few details with every guest before a reservation is finalized — who is staying, the purpose of the trip, and agreement to the house rules and rental agreement. This is the same for everyone who books with us, and it's meant to protect you too: it keeps the neighborhood quiet and welcoming, keeps the home in the condition you expect, and ensures the property truly matches what you need. Once confirmed with the homeowner, we'll send the final quote for signature within one business day.
