Family-friendly holiday rentals in Hawaii

I don't even know where to start with this little piece of heaven! The Surf Shack looks like something straight out of a magazine. The attention to detail with all of the decor and thoughtful touches. It was extremely well stocked and felt like I was staying at a friend's house. So cozy and charming. Our family loved watching the sunset every night off the balcony. We loved the little hike down to the beach. Enjoyed the pool, the view, the comfy beds, and my goodness-sweet Hanalei. I had the pleasure of meeting Kasey at the Bikini Hanalei shop in town. She was just as sweet as her condo is beautiful. It was the most memorable trip. We plan to come back again someday=) Thanks for a wonderful time and for sharing your place with us. Mahalo nui loa!

Great place with a great view! Everything we needed during our stay!

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

When searching for a nice place to stay sight unseen, especially after such a loss to the community, we were pleasantly surprised. We wanted something private yet still in the heart of the activity for our wedding and honeymoon. Maui is breathtaking, and the views from the balcony were incredible. Every day, we could see sea turtles in the water from our private beach, and we were even greeted by a few that spent the night on the beach during our stay. The space was fantastic, and the bed was really comfortable. It was also conveniently close to necessities like the ABC store and a few shopping centers. Heidi was very prompt when we reported a minor issue, and she resolved it quickly while keeping us updated throughout the process. Thank you for hosting us! We will definitely be recommending this spot to all our friends and family, and we hope to visit again sometime!

I can’t say enough good things about my stay in the Eco Hale. From the detailed directions to the cabin, to the very warm welcome, Kaeo’s responsiveness, the beauty and serenity of the property, to little details like woolen socks & a going-away bag, everything was 100% on point and what I was looking for to relax and get away from it all. I felt very taken care of from the moment I arrived. The property is safe, exceptionally maintained, and surrounded by beautiful plants, with the sounds of geckos, birds, coqui frogs and rain. Listening to nature while doing yoga or soaking in the tub was the highlight of my trip! Kaeo and Karl really have thought of everything, and are the kindest hosts anyone could ask for. 10/10 experience—I hope to be able to visit again!

This apartment was a great stay in Waikiki. It was our 3rd time there and we really enjoyed this place. Mari was super flexible for check in and check out, which we really appreciate. The balcony is really a big plus in this apartment. The view of the beach is also stunning.

This place is probably one of the most unique and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The inside and out are decorated beautifully. You can see the ocean from the front porch and the lush vegetation surrounding the place is magical. No dishwasher and no A/C but with the windows open and fans provided in each bedroom, it was perfectly fine. The sound of the coqui frogs was also delightful at night. Just know that you will be driving about 20-30 min to get places but it is so absolutely beautiful - it is worth it to stay there. Michael gave us a tour of the property and was very responsive any time we needed anything, which wasn’t often. Highly recommend this place as long as you are willing to drive a little ways to get to things. Make sure to do the scenic red road drive, which is close by.

Beautiful home with just a short walk to Maku'u Point, which we took frequently. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed daily and the kitchen was nice and big to fit our big family. It was our own private paradise. We also appreciated that the house included sustainable features, like solar panels and rain water use. We couldn't have asked for a better experience on the big island. Made our time there very memorable.

the apartment is a very great and special place. Surrounded by the nature you live in a big cozy apartment. You can listen to the animal sounds around you in the night. Jim was very friendly, he gave us helpful information about the area. Check-in was flexibel.

We adored staying in the Treetop getaway - I wish we could have stayed longer! The space was well-organized, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the outdoor seating was so lovely in the mornings! The beach gear that we borrowed for the day was amazing!! We felt so cozy and relaxed in this spot -- and the hosts are super friendly.

This house is just as tranquil and majestic as it looks in the photos. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds, drinking our coffee outside in the morning in a jungle oasis, and dipping in the hot tub in the afternoon. It’s a short drive to Volcano National Park and was the perfect home base while we were explored the area. We will definitely come back and would recommend to all!

Cozy spot with a beautiful yard. Loved sitting on the porch and playing with the dog. Too comfortable beds. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property in Naalehu. Pretty easy to find and there’s a sign that says “Park Here” on the lawn, which is very helpful. Fresh fruit upon our arrival. Paul was very responsive to all my messages. This is about a 20 min drive to the southern most point in the US and to the Green Sand beach hike. Farmers market every Wednesday in Naalehu is really neat. The space is as described and perfect for 2 people. I’ll definitely stay here again if I’m on this side of the island! There’s a washer and drier in the unit too, which is a bonus!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The property was stunning, with a perfect blend of style and comfort. What really made it special, though, was the attention to detail - from the cozy touches to the thoughtful amenities, it truly felt like home. The private setting was a huge bonus, allowing us to relax and unwind in peace. We loved the little things, like the fully stocked kitchen and the welcoming touches throughout the home. Overall, we'd highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

Beautiful and peaceful location. Watch gorgeous sunsets with panaromic voews pf the ocean right from the deck! Great snorkeling close by if you're comfortable getting in from rocks. Private pool to enjoy when you've had enough salt water for the day.

The new Kula Jewel is an amazing property with an incredible panoramic view of the island with an exceptionally cozy and spacious interior and a lovely porch. The main living area and kitchen were beautifully designed and highly functional which made us feel at home. The master bedrooom was so relaxing with a great mattress and was made even better when opening the windows at night and listening to the gentle rhythm of raindrops falling. The master bathroom design was brilliant. Pamela and the property manager Jim made sure our young daughter was well taken care of by setting up a comfortable pullout twin size bed in the Master so she could stay in the same room with us and not be scared. The other two bedrooms were spacious and well equipped, we just didnt need to use them. Pamela is the best host we have ever had the pleasure of working with on Airbnb. Her commnication was superb, recommendations for what to do and where to eat on the island spot on, and we cant wait to come back!

We had the best time in Maui staying at Jean’s place and everything was exactly as described on air bnb. The condo was in the perfect location just down the street from Napili bay and Kapalua bay which we spent tons of time at lounging and snorkelling. It felt like a home away from home during our stay and if we ever get the chance we’d love to stay at Jeans place again in the future! The views from the Lanai were absolutely stunning and the trade winds cooled off the unit perfectly we didn’t even end up using the AC unit once during our entire trip. The sound of the waves at night was a dreamy experience and we were blown away with the overall experience. 10/10 stay in unit 201! Thanks again Jean!

This is a great place to stay if you are exploring the Kona side of the island. The home is beautiful and well appointed. It was so peaceful and relaxing! We would definitely stay with them again.

This was our first visit to Honolulu and staying at Kurts place made our stay that much more special. Allowing us to have an early check in when we realised we had to be off our cruise ship very early that morning made our first day much easier. The apartment has stunning views of Waikiki - waking up to them each morning was very special. The apartment is across from the zoo where you can see flamingos from the window of the apartment which we loved. The apartment has beach gear provided making days at the beach a breeze and there are plenty of fabulous restaurants nearby. Our favorites were Lulu's Waikiki and Hawaiian Aroma!

Such a special and beautiful villa - will be staying here when I come to Maui from now on!

Wonderful stay! Great location, quiet with ocean views, and a lovely breeze that really does mean no A/C necessary. Jennifer was super responsive and the place was perfect for us.

My wife and I had a wonderful 9 day honeymoon exploring the big island. Beautiful sunsets, spacious accommodations and friendly hosts awaited us whenever we returned from our adventures. Close proximity to local beach, shopping, and restaurants made things easy. Could not have worked out better for what we wanted. Thank you Deb and Bob for being so hospitable. We hope to visit again someday.

A lovely condo in beautiful surroundings. Happy hour at the pool complex was a nice find. The unit was stocked with games and beach things … perfect for young families. A great place to stay.

What an incredible location in Kahana! This corner unit condo at Valley Isle Resort sits right on top of the water. Every morning, I sat on the balcony drinking my coffee and watching the sea turtles directly below float in the water. I also saw multiple whales (sadly it wasn't until we were packing up did I find the binoculars on the tv stand). The condo also had direct access to the beach. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, laundry in the unit, and beach essentials (chairs, towels, cooler) were available.
