Beach house vacation rentals in Hawaii

We stayed end of May, the view was gorgeous. Monk seal beached itself right by the property, saw turtles, and the beach was not crowded.

We had a fantastic stay in Poipu! The Ohana had everything we needed just as described. We appreciated the extra hospitality with some drinks and snacks stocked in the kitchen. It was a beautiful place to stay and much more cost effective than hotels in the same area.

We really enjoyed our 10 nights at Devaki’s beautiful house. It was quiet and peaceful. We never closed the windows or blinds and listening to the rain at night was wonderful. Waking up at daybreak to that view was really nice. The location is perfect and we hope to return soon.

We had an amazing time at Joe and Anna’s place! The location was ideal, tucked in a quiet area but still close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you’d want in an Airbnb. The kitchen had all the utensils and essentials for easy cooking, and the pool was perfect for our kids, especially with the fun pool toys that were already there. Joe and Anna were incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. It really felt like a home away from home, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

This home was as described and the view is out of this world. Every morning we would enjoy our coffee and every evening we would love watching the sunset from the lanai. As you can see from other reviews, this house gets 5 stars because the pros are endless. However - we want to go over a few cons because as a group we rented both sides of the townhouse ($$$$$) and there were some issues that we felt may have swayed our decision to stay there had we known. 1) The homeless in the area. There is public beach access next door to an empty lot - There is then a church that provides free daily meals right behind the home. Put all of this together and the area has become a hang out spot. We had authorities called twice (sleeping in the bushes right outside our room that had bars installed on the windows/blocking the driveway) but could have called them every day. 2) No AC (we knew this) but it gets HOT and if you have littles it will be a problem. 3) Rocky beach entry. Bring water shoes!

The house was great for a group! Check-in/out was keyless but couldn’t do either early or late. Didn’t hear from Jake during our stay

Enjoyed the most mellow and relaxing vacation with my adult children. We walked daily on the great pathway and took in the blue ocean and the peaceful setting. The neighborhood was quiet and what I expected. We enjoyed eating at all the wonderful local places within a casual 20 minute walk. It was rainy this time of the year so sometime we just stayed and chilled in the awesome living room. The house is old so it has its charms but it felt like going to a beach house. There are plenty of windows and we slept with them open and it was very windy at night so we didn’t miss the a/c at all. We are from the Pacific Northwest, my son said he was surprised that 72 degrees could feel so cold and it was funny to see him wear his puffy jacket at times. Anyone staying here in the spring should probably bring a jacket because the wind and moisture can make it feel a lot colder than it should be due to being right next to the ocean. This is an excellent location overall.

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

Such a wonderful place to stay. We would love to come back and stay again. It’s close to the beaches, grocery and food. Beautiful view of the golf course. There were cute little goats to watch also! The beds were large and comfy and all the appliances were far beyond standard! Really enjoyed this location.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location! Very peaceful neighborhood. The kids loved the pool and hot tub. Not walkable to shops but the drive was short to a shopping center with groceries and restaurants. We did have a few bugs, lizards in the home which is expected for Hawaii! And little frogs liked to take a dip in the pool later in the day with us!

What a beautiful setting. We woke up and enjoyed our coffee next to the ocean every morning. We enjoyed the large open spaces to spend time together.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Kauai. The house was perfect for our group of 11. The kids enjoyed the pool so much! Probably our best Airbnb stay yet! Nothing but good things.

Lovely stay — perfect for our family with a 3-year-old. Great location close to some great restaurants and kid-friendly beaches. We even used the athletic club one day and had a blast. I'd recommend this clean, bright spot to anyone staying in Poipu.

I’d give 6 stars if I could! We booked Alexey’s place with our family of 4 - including our 3 and 1 year old and the house was the MVP of our trip. It’s beautiful and has pretty much anything you could ask for. The location is super close to everything in Kona and the pool was wonderful to come back to after spending the day at the beaches. Alexey was a great host. Highly recommend this house if you are traveling to the big island.

Great location in Poipu and an easy walk to the beach. Never had to worry about parking at the beach which was a huge plus for this popular location. Multiple restaurants walkable and wagons with chairs and umbrella made it an all around full service experience. The beds and pillows were very comfortable including the pullout bed. The pool area is right outside the door with lounge chairs to start and end your day. We truly loved our time here. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you

I recently stayed at Justin’s Airbnb in Kona, and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, Justin was incredibly welcoming, offering great recommendations for local activities and making sure we had everything we needed. The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a perfect island retreat. One of the highlights was the pool – it was pristine and provided the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the island. The outdoor area was fantastic, with plenty of seating, and we enjoyed several evenings watching the sunset from the lanai. The location in Kona was ideal, with easy access to beaches, dining, and shopping, yet the house felt like a private oasis. We felt truly at home during our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I highly recommend Justin’s place for anyone looking to experience the best of Kona in comfort and style!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Justin‘s place. It is very spacious and we were a family of five. My mom, my husband and my two daughters. The kitchen was fully stacked, and the mattresses were super comfortable. The snorkeling gear was a little old so we ended up buying our own gear. The area was great. Very close to a swimming beach and a beach for snorkeling. Justin was very responsive. Always replied right away and very helpful. We hope to come back someday soon!

Michael’s place is very accommodating with all the amenities described. My family travelled from several different locations to be together here and it all worked perfectly. I was bummed that the other visiting guests not staying there could not use the pool, but I understand the liability and respect the rules. All in all, it was a wonderful trip!

Great place to stay while visiting this island. Beach is down the street. No need to pay for extra parking. Sure it was a little tight with the parking, but really this is a wayyyy better options than having to pay daily for parking structure that’s not conveniently foot steps away. Definitely liked that it’s quiet there too. It’s a great location to stay at because it only about 15 - 30 mins away from all the tourist things we wanted to do. There were some ants in the bathroom and kitchen, so keep a look out for that. It wasn’t a huge problem and kinda expected when staying in Hawaii. Would definitely stay here again. Big difference from staying in Waikiki and wayyyy cheaper!

The Lime House was nice and close to beach, shopping and restaurants. How to respond to when we had questions and got back to us quickly. Kitchen and dinning room/living got very hot in the afternoon evening No widow coverings and no windows to open. The small room at the back of the house gets really hot because of no A/C. Had fans that helped with air circulation. Location is just off the main road, so if the windows are opened, it’s a little noisy. Other than that our stay was great and liked having the option to walk down to the beach.

We had a great stay at Megan and Vincent’s place. Perfect four our family of four with two adult children. The art inside is beautiful and really adds to the vibe of the home. But more importantly the surrounding landscaping is stunning with fruit trees, palms and tropical plants surrounding the home. Just a great place to hang out and relax. The beach equipment was great and so helpful. AC was also key when it got hot later in the days. Perfect spot to explore Hawaii’s west coast. Can easily walk to a fun and funky beach with boogie boarding and beach volleyball and a restaurant right on the water. Easy drive to downtown Kona and all its offerings - yet away from the crowds and traffic. Would definitely stay again!

Miguel, who also goes by Micco, was the most welcoming host I've ever had with an Airbnb rental! He absolutely made us feel welcome, and his house really felt like a home. It's absolutely beautiful inside but even more, it was so comfortable I could enjoy hanging out there. The view of the mountains from the front deck is gorgeous and the view of the backyard from the screened in patio is also lovely. The rooms are quite comfortable and the kitchen is spacious. The house is located a few minutes walk to Hanalei Bay beach and downtown shopping. Both are very "walkable." Micco also was very attentive, helpful and responsive during our stay. We'll definitely be returning!

Our family felt right at home, thanks to Donna! It was comfortable and clean, and really ended up being exactly how she described! We will definitely reach out to Donna next time we're coming to Kauai!

We had a wonderful stay at this darling home in Kapa’a, Kauai! The space was spotless and thoughtfully maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location couldn’t have been better—close to shops, restaurants, and the beach, yet still peaceful and quiet. It was also the perfect spot for children, with a safe and cozy atmosphere that made us all feel right at home. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a relaxing stay on the island!
