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!

Mari was very responsive and helped out if we had issues. Location is perfect! Beautiful beach views and large windows with great lighting all day! Many fans and an A/C unit. Balcony was great with the day bed and stools. Kid friendly, and a pack and play was provided. this property was a 5 minute walk to the beach and main drag of restaurants. Parking was a bit tight and you have to call the front desk to be let into the garage. Overall, an amazing stay and we would definitely book again!

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.

Mahalo Nui for such a beautiful stay! Perfect place for my ohana to just relax. I highly recommend this place. Beautiful, peaceful, convenient and comfortable. Host was very accommodating, quick to respond and overall welcoming. Look forward to booking with these folks again soon aloha xo

Small but nice 1-room apartment. Good for two people. Functionally furnished Amazing view on ocean/beach. Just a 10 min walk to Waikiki Main Street and 15 min to the beach

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.

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!

Gorgeous property and cute place to stay! This is our second stay at Adam’s place…. Adam is very good with communication and went above and beyond with accommodating was with a special request that was not listed on the accommodations list. We always enjoy our stay at Adam’s place! Definitely our favorite place to stay! Thanks again Adam 🏝️

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!

Fred's place in Honolulu was excellent—perfectly located between Ala Moana Beach and Waikiki, right next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Initially, we thought about renting a car, but based on Fred's helpful advice, we decided against it. We found it easy and enjoyable to walk to either Waikiki or Ala Moana Beach, and when needed, Ubers were readily available and quick. The condo itself was well-equipped and comfortable. A dishwasher would have made things even more convenient, especially since we had breakfast there daily, but overall, the amenities provided met all our needs. Additionally, the condo is situated within the Ilikai Hotel, offering the convenience of a local market, coffee shop, and ice cream parlor right within the building. Being just behind the marina added to the appeal and convenience of our stay. You can't go wrong choosing Fred's place!

Our stay could not have been better. The unit was very well equipped, had everything we needed. The view gland location could not be beat. We will definitely be back!

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.

We had a fantastic stay at Heather & Khaled’s Airbnb. Khaled was very responsive and really friendly! The place was very clean and spacious. The view is spectacular- can’t beat the sound of the waves! Some things we really appreciated that we did not see in other comments that I wanted to highlight: Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are all provided. The BBQ grill does NOT need charcoal - it is ready to use and has all the supplies needed. The bed comes with a soft blanket (as someone who NEEDS a soft blanket when I sleep, this was great). There is a ceiling fan if you are someone that can’t sleep without a fan! We would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. It’s the mid point between north and south side of this island. Has great food and grocery stores nearby all within walking distance.
