Modern Ocean Views with AC
Had a great time, very quiet neighborhood, beautiful view, nice place to stay, quick walk to a secluded beach, great place to stay on the north shore

Modern Sealodge 2BD 2BA Ocean View Walk to Beach
Brooke’s place is great, exactly as pictured. A very relaxing environment—picture tea/coffee mornings on the view deck and a great place to come back to after sightseeing. Kitchen is great, well stocked w basics to get cooking after a quick grocery stop n. As for bedding, the cotton linens are washed in free and clear detergent, which is a huge bonus in our opinion. One cool thing that I didn’t understand in the description is that the upstairs bedroom area has a king bed that can be separated into twin beds. We were traveling with only one kid so the king bed was perfect for him, but if traveling with two kids or two adult friends having the option of separate beds is great. After booking, Brooke offered to have the beds separated or together, so it’s an option that she will make happen for you. Brooke’s place is well stocked for fun too, with 4 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards snorkel gear too (which I didn’t inventory, but you can ask) and a mid-sized ice chest. 10 out of 10!

Count the Waterfalls from Elegant Condo with AC!
We had a great stay here. Very relaxing and felt at home. Beautiful views, and the pool was a nice way to unwind at the end of a day of hiking in the area. Thank you!

Seaside Serenity in Hawaii
Amazing location in the heart of Poipu, which is right where you want to be especially for first timers! The community was amazing with the perfect beach front property. My girlfriend and I did surfing lessons and it was wonderful. Short drive to anywhere on the island. Would recommend to anyone.

Aloha Kai: Oceanfront @ Lae Nani's Newest Reno, AC
I don’t think we could have picked a better place to stay on our honeymoon than Aloha Kai. Jon’s place is modern and immaculate with a homey feel and all the amenities you could ask for. He is a responsive host and it was apparent he wanted us to have a memorable stay. Kapaa is an excellent area with lots of great restaurants and shops in walking distance yet not overly crowded. My wife and I can’t wait to return! 10/10 would recommend Jon’s Aloha Kai paradise!

Oceanfront, Newly Remodeled 2 bed Condo, WiFi, AC
It is a beautiful and relaxing place. Perfect ocean view and wonderful in just about every way. Close to a trail that leads to a secluded beach, and some shopping spots. Beds were comfortable and there are a/c units in every room to keep things cool. Dont have a negative thing to say about our stay here!

Jewel of the Pacific. Oceanfront Condo at Sealodge
Fantastic spot in Princeville. Can’t beat the views. Spent a lot of time on the balcony - starting and ending our days there. Enjoyed the pool as well. Would rent here again.

Tropical Paradise at HBR,beach access,AC & kitchen
Alicja is an incredible host to work with. The place was great and Alicja is very responsive and gives clear instructions for everything you'll need to know. She does an amazing job!

Hula Hideaway, Kaua'i
This was a great place and a short walk to the beach. Also great how close it was to the airport after a long flight to the island. Wonderful Airbnb hosts as well as they were always super responsive and proactive. Loved being about midway between the North and Southside of the island. Couple places we loved near by, favorite shaved ice was Hee Fat and Malasadas at Paradise bakery. Like this rental, very reasonable prices and offer fantastic products!

Kimsey Beach House TVNC#5010 TA#060-903-8336-01
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.

koolkondo Shores 404 Ocean Front
The family stay went well. The walk to Brenneke’s and the beaches is super easy and close - the key to the back road makes it super easy. Great location in Poi’pu.

Your own private oceanview Cottage 16 C
We have stayed at many different properties of Susanne’s over the years, and this was one of our favorite places to stay. Exactly as depicted in the ad. Super clean and super convenient. We can’t wait to come back to Kauai and stay in one of Susanne’s properties in the future.

Princeville @ Hanalei - Luxury Home Sleeps 12
This home was absolutely beautiful. It was clean and comfortable and the AC did not disappoint. It was fully stocked with everything we needed and more! Nice neighborhood close to beaches, shopping and restaurants. The only downfall (which is no fault of the house or host) is that the next door neighbor was constantly watching us in the yard and did NOT like when the kids ball rolled into his yard. Oops! Other than that, it was perfect. We would definitely stay here again…minus the ball.

Hale Ohana TVNC#5011 TA#100-928-3072-01
What a pleasure it was to stay at Kendall's! The home was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed from baking dishes, herbs to beach chairs and a cooler. The home was beautifully decorated and having two separate floors for our party of 5 was really wonderful. We really enjoyed having every meal out on the lanai. Having such close access to the beach, Waimea Canyon and more was really fantastic! The cherry-on-top was Kendall's dog Piper, who adopted my family for the week. Both Kendall and Joel were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My parents are already talking about wanting to come back to their home! I couldn't this place recommend more!

Oceanfront Beach Cottage: Hawaii at it's best!
The host was very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly, which we really appreciated. We booked last minute, and while the property wasn’t ready upon arrival, the host promptly sent a cleaner to take care of it. Once everything was taken care of, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The view is absolutely wonderful, and despite the initial hiccup, we would definitely book this place again!

Taro Suite at Walelia Getaway
For starters: LOCATION! The walk to the beach is like less than 3 minutes. Host provides some toys for you to play at the beach. LAUNDRY: washes and dries quite nice. FOOD:lots of close restaurants that are located in the hotels but the menus are delish. Would 10/10 recommend. Did I forget to mention private POOL??! Thank you James for letting us stay at your wonderful Airbnb!

Kauai Getaway Condo
Wendy and Adam’s place was spacious enough for two adults and two kids ages 10 & 7. The condo was noticeably clean and there were extra hooks in the bathroom to hang and dry towels. Beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, sand toys and boogie boards came in handy for our beach trips. As a guest I also appreciated the quality of toiletries provided! Great location to everything and walkable to Safeway for groceries and other eateries!

Top Floor Ocean-Side Condo in Poipu
The view!! We watched turtles from the lanai, and beautiful sunrises. And the surroundings were dark enough to see a gorgeous night sky when it was clear. The condo was spacious and clean. Bed was super comfortable, as was the living room furniture. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided. Easy walk to several beaches, short drive to several others. Walked over to the Beach House for happy hour. Close to restaurants and shops. Really enjoyed our stay!

Direct Ocean Front Full Kitchen King bed
Great little gem of a spot. Dolphins and whales jumping off just a few 100yards from the balcony. Amazing sun rises. Pecan breakfast sweets just across the road.

Beachfront oceanside condo paradise AC/pool/HT 247
Stayed for week and a half and enjoyed my time at this Airbnb. The place was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. One of the highlights was the box filled with beach essentials. The kitchen area was fantastic for preparing meals, and really loved dining on the patio with its ocean views. This location is perfect for anyone looking to explore the island like us. Highly recommend!

Stylish Kauai Condo on the Beach
I stayed at this place with 2 kids. Beach is 1 min from the entry door, very safe and peaceful. Not crowded beach at all. Great small restaurants right there. Parking available. Cute little place perfect for us. Patricia and Katie was always ready to answer all of our questions and was very helpful. Very beautiful surroundings, roosters, chickens, small chicks and different kinds of birds everywhere which we found very cute. Cannot wait to come back! Thank you!

Idyllic Oceanfront Condo Above Sealodge Beach
Marcia’s place was a slice of paradise! Perfect place to unplug and just enjoy nature with love ones! Not use to having no AC but the breeze at night was so refreshing and cooling, perfect for a good night! Thank you Marcia!

Poipu Sands 434, 2BD Ocean View, AC in Bdrms
We had such a wonderful stay at your beautiful B&B in Kauai. The beach access was perfect, and the space was so tastefully done—cozy, elegant, and incredibly comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you for making our trip so special!

Paradise Resort w/Pools, Hot Tubs, EBikes, Kitchen
We enjoyed our stay at Nathalie’s in Princeville. It was conveniently located to nearby stores, shopping, beaches, and NaPali coast. (With rental car) The bed was comfortable. The home had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. We appreciated the ability to do laundry. The pool and hot tub were very nice. Communication was quick and very friendly. The “jungle trail” my words, on the property was sooo cool! We enjoyed walking through that path to get to the bluffs to enjoy the nightly sunsets. We enjoyed morning coffee on the patio overlooking nature and visiting our hen, rooster and birdy friends. Chickens are everywhere in Kauai. Overall, Our stay was so quiet,Ahhh, thank you for a slice of paradise! Mahalo.
