Beach house vacation rentals in Hawaii

Hands down our best Airbnb experience ever, the house is better than the photos, was clean, comfortable and right on a beach with a wonderfully well kept and large yard. It was a pleasure to come back to it each day after exploring the island. That said, what made the trip exceptional was the host, Kendall was a pleasure to interact with, always responsive and super helpful regarding the house and the area, made several recommendations and even called local resources to confirm that certain parks were open or closed during our stay. We can highly recommend staying here, no regrets.

We enjoyed our very nice, quiet, and comfortable stay. Everything was clean and the neighborhood was beautiful and safe. One night, we decided to cook hamburgers in and everything that we needed was there! A hot plate, a frying pan, etc. It was nice to have a regular size refrigerator too. Loved this place, really enjoyed meeting Mike and Sue, and would book again! It was very convenient for our hikes in Waimea Canyon, to see the Spouting Horn, and turtles on Poipu Beach.

Loved this wonderful studio in Hanalei and Devaki as well! A wonderful hostess!

We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

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.

The house was gorgeous, it matched the pictures and descriptions perfectly. At night it was very peaceful and just the most beautiful views every morning. My wife and I loved that it was so close to the best snorkeling that we've ever done and if you didn't want to do the hike to get to it there's plenty of rentable kayaks nearby. We also managed to see a mama humpback whale and her calf in the bay while we were relaxing on the lanai. Last thing I'll say is that the house was close to alot of local food places that all are highly recommended. When I plan my next trip to the Big Island I will definitely be looking to stay at this house again.

Shiva's cottage was absolutely wonderful. We loved everything about it...the deck that practically overhangs the ocean, the house layout, the design-we especially adored the kitchen floor-the whole house was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Shiva was a pleasure to work with-very welcoming and great communication. The area is quiet and peaceful, which is just what we were looking for, after a busy week in Kona. Thank you Shiva for an amazing stay-we can't wait to come back!

This was a great place to stay on the big island. The property was fantastic. I would go again. The beach shown on line is not on the property or near the property but there is a small area on magic sand beach to wade into about 1000’ away that is a public beach. You need to drive 15 miles north to find a nice beach.

We had a fantastic stay! Beautiful home, quiet and conveniently located. This is truly a beautiful property and we would be glad to stay again.

The place was beautiful and well-appointed. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Jodi was an incredible host. We had a wonderful vacation and would love to come back!

The house is beautiful. Was actually bigger than we expected. Truly felt like we had some personal space. It felt like home.

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

We were so thankful to stay at Sandra's lovely place. The villa was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were able to make meals, including using the bbq, and ate most of our meals on the deck and a few out by the pool. The pool was nice and warm, and we loved the outdoor shower. The entire space was very private. Sandra was gracious and accommodating with a special, last minute request, we highly recommend this stay to other guests.

We had an amazing time! The home allowed for a beautiful and peaceful getaway for our family of five with young kiddos.

Great place. About a 15-20 minute walk to a couple beaches. You are in a neighborhood so it feels safe to walk around/not many cars. 5-7 minute drive to nearest grocery store and a few restaurants. Very close to Hanalei town - about 30 min to Haena State Park. You definitely need a car while sight seeing around Kauai. The home is large (big enough for 9-10 people) and the kitchen/living area is great for family mornings and evenings. You can see the mountains and waterfalls on a clear day. The lanai on the first and second floor are great in the mornings. All the rooms are spacious and very clean. 3 of the rooms are on the bottom floor (including the 4th room/bunk bed that is in common area). The only room on the first floor is the master. Only issue was that the fridge ice maker did not work and had a little difficulty contacting the 24/7 property manager. Brad was a great communicator and really helps you know the lay of the land. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great time here! We loved the location next to the Grand Hyatt and all that they have to offer. You can walk to shipwreck beach 5-10 min. Geralyn was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. it was hard for us to find a place last minute that would accommodate 7 guests. this place worked out great it's just the right amount of beds. if you are looking to stay in Poipu/Koloa this is a great option. We loved all the beach gear available for use in the garage. Very convenient. Hope to be back again sometime in the future.

Great fit for our laid back group, a serene slice of heaven in Puna Palisades neighborhood. Karan communicated routinely with helpful information for outside visitors. Renters should be aware that check in process is different than AirBnB messages -- there is no code emailed, rather check in direct with owners. All good :-)

This stay way absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful and peaceful location. We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and fell asleep nightly to the soothing jungle sounds. The host was extremely accommodating and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. This has been my favorite Airbnb stay by far! I will definitely be staying here again if I ever make it back to the islands !

Our small family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) loved our stay at Michael’s. We are already planning to come back ! Quiet area, with many hang out spots so we could be together when we wanted, and have space when we needed. The little pool was a big hit ! My girls and I were in it multiple times a day to keep cool. Great kitchen, well equipped with all you need. Huge TV for those rainy family movie nights. Lots of outdoor space for workouts, and looking for Geckos, Lizards and Chickens who happen to wander by. There is one of the nicest beaches I’ve seen close by - but it is a 60min committed walk in through amazing jungle on a very old chopped up cobble roadway that the ancestors used. It’s muddy - but well worth seeing the turtle refuge / spring water filled ocean bay at the end. Overall - I highly recommend this stay! It allowed us to soak up the Aloha in style.

Our family enjoyed our stay. It was like sleeping in a treehouse! Ocean views, beautiful sunrises, frogs singing at night, and so many stars. We had everything we needed and the hosts were very helpful with local tips. It was a magical stay!

Robert and Erin were great hosts and communicators. The house is located across a beautiful park/beach. Even though the park was busy it didn’t fell intrusive at all, we loved having our coffee on the front porch in the mornings and unwinding in it at night. We have young boys who loved all the chickens and lizards in the yard, and seeing the sea turtles across the street. Overall the house is in great shape and met our expectations!

What a lovely home in such a beautiful place in Kaui! Home is immaculate, host is friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend this place. Whenever we come back to Kaui, we will definitely want to book here again

I live on Hawaii Island and work regularly in the South Kona area. I had some work colleagues come to Hawaii for some work in the forest, this place was the perfect fit since it is close, has several rooms and is ideally set up for a larger group. We were working away from the coast, but the location is ideal if you are seeking a coastal retreat. I recommend this location for larger families, or groups of friends that want to be close to the water. It is literally 100 feet or so from the coast in a very quiet neighborhood. Weather is hot during the day, so it is nice that there are AC units in the rooms, but the open lanai area, where the grill is, has just the right breeze to relax and keep cool. Napoopoo road is far from Kailua town, about 40 minutes by car, so if you are into the night life or like to go out to eat a lot this place is not as well suited. However, you get all the quiet and relaxation you could want in a domestic setting.

Beautiful place, looked just like the pictures! Peaceful and quiet, all the furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. They provided nice touches throughout to make you feel at home.
