Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Hawaiian Islands

The view alone is worth the price! Everything was so lush and beautiful! We felt like we were in our very own private resort. We enjoyed the spacious house itself and the outdoor area. The pool was great and the beds were super comfortable! This was a great base to explore the entire Big Island of Hawaii! I would recommend this home to anyone! Just book it already!

We had a wonderful 7 day stay. Our 3 boys (16, 13, and 10) spent hours on the diving board and in the pool. Sandra’s place had everything we needed for beach trips, including beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, cooler and beach towels. I was so happy to have a washing machine to wash out the sandy towels and suits after our beach trips. It was a 5-10 minute trip for Costco,-target and Walmart and a 30-40 minute trip to Hāpuna Beach (don’t miss the Malsada stand on the highway on your way). We would come back to the house to cook supper, swim more in the pool, and watch the sunset from the beautiful yard. We also got a lot of use out of the basketball net in the driveway, and volleyball net in the side yard. Sandra was extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay, including local recommendations. Would definitely stay again if on the Big Island!

Wonderful place for our several days there. Fantastic view and very spacious. Several restaurants were in town. Waimea had few tourists but still was close to several small out-of-the-way towns we otherwise would not have thought of to visit.

Sandra was very nice. The house was clean and exactly what we expected. She offered great suggestions when we asked for recommendations on places to visit. I would definitely recommend staying here.

What a beautiful setting and home! It was so easy to relax with the amazing grounds and yard. It was the perfect space for our family of 3. Our 5 year old could not get enough of the pool, the chickens and the abundant “nature treasures.” When we come back to Maui, we won’t hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful rural location tucked away but not a far drive to Hilo, Volcano National Park, several beaches, farmers markets, other beautiful places to explore. The Airbnb had all needed amenities, really comfortable bed, plenty of space, games and books to read, a nice picnic table outside with a tent garage for the car so your luggage doesn’t get wet if it rains when you arrive, and even a robe and slippers which I am a sucker for - makes me feel so cozy when I am away from home! More than happy with our stay, we hope to come back!

We had an amazing stay! It was unique and at a great location in Hawaii. We felt so comfortable and the whole family (including a toddler & infant) enjoyed our stay. It is by far one of our favorite Airbnbs that we have stayed at.

Thanks again for sharing you gentle paradise with us it was truly the Hawai’i we were seeking and found it. We are now in love with the “ Hilo side” and can’t thank you enough. All the best. Rob and Helene Crane

We had a great stay. The place is cozy, has a great view and amenities and supplies. It is in great location, close enough to everything in waikiki but away enough to not deal with the busy and louder areas. Great host who was very informative, accomodating, detailed and gave alot of recommendations.

Our stay in Kihei was great! Anke’s place was very cute and comfortable with a perfect view from the lanai. All communication was professional and reliable 💕

It is a prime location if it is your first time coming to Waikīkī. Right across the street you have the zoo as well as the beach. Travis was great at communicating and also allowed a flexible check-in. He keeps everything you may need for your stay; towels, beach chairs, umbrella, reusable bags, and bug repellent (which I had forgotten). The noise from the bar was not too bad for us and we were able to get sleep.

Shaun was a super friendly and proactive host. His place had everything we needed to entertain and care for our little one on her first big trip, which made life easy for mom and dad. We love the Kiahuna Plantation and highly recommend units like Shaun's on the backside of the property for privacy and peace, while still having easy access to all of the amenities. We look forward to our next trip!

Very good place to stay and nice amenities.

Great house in a good location. Everything can be reached quickly and easily. The house has everything you need for your vacation

Great place! Host is responsive and great location.

This place is such a steal! Great price and in walking distance from the beach and a bunch of great restaurants. Take’s food recommendations were so good and we had an amazing time. Best part was coming home to the nice AC set to the perfect temp after a day in the sun! Highly recommend :)

We absolutely loved our stay here!! The space is so beautiful and clean, and we especially loved the deck with the view. The bed was so comfy and the huge tv was a nice plus. Allison was very responsive, had clear instructions, and the washer/dryer was great to have. It was also in the perfect location on North Shore, quick drive to gorgeous beaches and lovely restaurants. Only thing we had an issue with was finding parking some nights. Other than that, 10/10

From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. Melissa was a perfect host and gave great recommendations from food and groceries, to the best places to snorkel and find adventure steps from the condo. Accommodations were exactly as described, and the beds were so comfortable. We loved the decor, and it was so clean and organized. The a/c and ceiling fans kept us cool and comfortable. Relaxation was a top priority, and our stay was so peaceful with plenty of space for our family to spread out, and yet cozy enough to gather and just be together! The pools were great, and the bbq areas were clean with excellent prep space to dine al fresco. Restaurants were within walking distance after long adventure days. The kitchen was well-stocked with thoughtful cooking supplies and a large fridge. We were able fill our water bottles with filtered water from the fridge - so nice! Loved the chairs, umbrella, and the wagon for our days at the beach. We are looking forward to our next stay!

My husband and I stayed here for part 2 of our honeymoon trip. It was everything we could’ve asked for and more! Such a beautiful space and wonderful location!

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!

It was such a find! Beautiful water and gorgeous safe beach. Every detail fantastic. Just the area is a bit depressed. Make sure to hit a Foodland before you head to town and use Penny’s recommendation for places to eat. Fun for us to be out of the tourist areas but if you are expecting a Waikiki experience stay there. The beach and condo were unbelievable- after the crowds in Waikiki I was so relieved to have the safe beach practically to ourselves. Would definitely stay at Penny’s place again.

Dianne’s oceanfront condo in Kaanapali is an absolute gem—hands down one of the most stunning vacation rentals we've experienced. The panoramic ocean views from both the living room and bedroom are nothing short of breathtaking, offering an immersive front-row seat to the Pacific. The space itself is immaculate and thoughtfully designed, blending elegant décor with ultimate comfort. It’s fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Falling asleep each night to the soothing sound of waves crashing just outside was pure serenity. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the local food truck yard, grocery store, and an array of fantastic restaurants. On top of all that, Dianne is a phenomenal host: responsive, accommodating, and truly committed to making your stay perfect. If you’re looking for the ultimate Kaanapali escape, this is it!!

Wife and I have been married 43 years and this was our best vacation ever. We love Kauai, but have never had the beautiful views and convenience we had with Allison's place. She is very vested in making sure you are taken care of and happy. She was so responsive...we couldn't have asked for better treatment. The view from our lanai was spectacular! I was diagnosed with Parkinson's right before our trip, so we were around the resort a little more than we had planned. It could not have been better. We all know that going to Hawaii is not cheap, but we left this place feeling like we really got our moneys worth. The condo was beautifully decorated and was comfortable from the moment we entered. I can't overstate how pleased we are with the way Allison treated us and the beautiful place she provided for us. We are looking forward to our next trip to Kauai. It really is the best Island in our opinion. Thanks again to Allison and her team for all of their caring and professionalism.

I’ve been to Waikiki 4 times and this stay was my best yet. The view of the ocean was amazing and the place had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. The surrounding area was super convenient and we didn’t have to walk more than 10-15 min to get groceries, shop, surf, and explore the best of Waikiki. Will be coming back!!
