Family-friendly vacation 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!

We loved the location! We rented a car but in the afternoon we were able to walk to the Coconut Marketplace to shop or to the Lava Lava restaurant for dinner. The view from the lanai was peaceful and beautiful. The chairs, umbrella and small ice chest were very useful.

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.

We stayed here to be close to the IM 70.3 Hawaii. This was such a great location for that (very short drive to the venue). There are good restaurants right near by and the area with the condo is very quiet. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and everything was beautiful inside.

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!

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 🏝️

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 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!

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!

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!

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

Very clean condo along with a great view. Surrounding area is a bit rough but property is private and secure. We were very happy with the communication, information, and overall experience. Thank you!

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.

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.
