House vacation rentals in Hawaii

We’ve been to Maui four times in the past year, and Peter’s place has been by far the best location and value of all our visits. It’s perfectly situated—just 5–15 minutes from what we feel are the best beaches and snorkeling spots on the island. The location easily beats Kaanapali and Napili. The home is well-kept, in a quiet neighborhood just off the main road, so you get peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Peter is a kind and respectful host—he gives you your space but is quick to respond if you need anything. I don’t usually leave long reviews, but after staying at so many Airbnbs, I can confidently say: if you’re heading to Maui, this is the place and location you want. 100% satisfied. Thank you, Peter.

Our mountainside rainforest home was the highlight of our vacation. The view was amazing and we enjoyed breakfast on the deck every morning while spotting wildlife. There is every kind of fruit you can imagine growing around the home. It truly felt like paradise. Priscilla was very accommodating and responsive with any questions we had. If you value serenity, natural beauty, and privacy, this property is a real treat. Also, no bugs!

Jenne’s place is everything described in the posting. The view was awesome. We enjoyed the garden, the trees and the birds. The welcome cookies was a nice touch - kids enjoyed it. Overall wonderful stay. Would definitely return next time we come to big island.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept very well. We appreciated the private patio space. This home is in a convenient location for easy walking to restaurants and shops in central Paia. It was hard to leave!

This place is amazing. Beautiful views and landscape. The house was exactly as shown/described and had everything we needed including kitchen ware and items to use at the beach. Loved that there was a black sand beach that was a 15 min drive and the closest town was 15 min away as well. Host was quick to respond for any questions. Would highly recommend staying here.

We have had the most amazing stay in Hanalei - Rainbow House is everything we were hoping for and more. Surfing with Micco was the icing on the cake. We will be back to Hanalei soon and we plan on booking here again. From the quiet location to the convenience of being able to walk everywhere, we have been happy as clams on our family vacation! 8 thumbs up from a family of four.

Quick responses and very helpful when issues came up.

This place was totally awesome! It was so beautiful and peaceful! We slept so well! The house was well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Denise and Brian are the best hosts, making sure we had everything we need. Itineraries were provided so we were never bored. We will definitely be back for a stay in the beautiful rainforest on the Big Island! 🏝️

This home is extremely well equipped with everything you may need. Kitchen tools, speaker to play music, beach gear and towels, it's all there. The house has a beautiful garden and it's a quiet neighborhood. Cassie is very responsive and flexible. She gave us some great recommendations in the area. The location of the house is very convenient, centrally located on the island. Beds are comfortable and so is the living room. If we come back to Maui we will stay here again!

Minh’s place is a treasure! The location looking over the ocean is breathtaking. We had the best sleep in months with the doors open and hearing the waves. Whales swam by a few times and walking to the beach was good exercise. I plan to return.

Had a lovely stay despite how short our visit was. Would love to come back:) Julie’s space is quite homey, and she had so many thoughtful accommodations out that didn’t go unnoticed :)

This is a hidden gemstone! Lots of privacy and off the beaten path away from tourists.

Our family loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the set up was perfect for our needs. We especially loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings, and falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs. The location was a further from the ocean than we realized, but we enjoyed the lushness of the hilly terrain and would stay there again. Susan and Iris were very responsive when we reported a few minor appliance issues and it didn't impact our overall experience.

the home was a great and John was very helpful throughout our stay. The instruments onsite were an added bonus as my kids were able to delicately use some of them (one currently in guitar lessons, another in piano) while I played along with my set of harmonicas. Has a heated outdoor shower which is always nice. Didn't need to bring our own beach towels and there was plenty of beach equipment available including chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. As to be expected of a jungle beach side home there are ants, termites, and critters, but none were ever a problem through our 4 night stay. No AC, but that was never a problem. Fans in all the rooms. View from the upper deck is amazing, and every morning we watched the sunrise before going out to the beaches and such. Food around town can close early so being mindful of that can be important if you want some of the best in Hana if not the whole island (braddah hutts and huli huli chicken for starters). overall, highly recommend staying here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Turtle House. Poni was wonderful, location made us feel like we were locals. Beaches were amazing, so many fun restaurants to choose from. Her guide book was second to none, recommendations were spot on. We will definitely stay here again.

We are here in a group of 8 to attend a conference, and Eric's place is perfect because it accommodates all of us without feeling cramped (lots of space for luggage too), washing and drying machine have huge capacity, and the unit receives packages (from online purchases). Eric and Miranda are both very friendly, graceful, and really fast in responding to our messages. We all loved the stay! Although it is not in walking distance to restaurants or shops, but Uber is easy to order and the neighborhood is quiet and pretty.

This was the best first Airbnb experience. We were celebrating our 10-year anniversary with our 3 young kids. This home was just beautiful. The photos do not do enough justice. The home was super spacious and TV in both rooms. Our 5yr old enjoyed the jacuzzi because it was shallow and warm. The pool was huge with a diving board. It was nice having the outdoor kitchen and grill. We were able to prepare our food while also watching the kids swim. We enjoyed her papayas, avocados, and mango. Ms. Sandra shared with us her organic eggs from her chickens, Kale, beets, basil, and lettuce from her garden. Every morning when I woke up, I couldn't wait to open the curtains and windows to see the view and hear the birds. I could go on and on about this place. Thank you Ms. Sandra. It was such a pleasure meeting you and spending time in you beautiful home🙏

We had the dream family trip of a lifetime. The kids loved the pool—morning, noon and evening except when we went off on adventures. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of a rocky beach. The house was roomy and well stocked with two large, long dining tables, one indoors and the other on an enclosed porch outdoors. Perfect for family dining. Joe and Anna were lovely hosts, pleasant and informative. We’d definitely recommend this home to anyone.

We would absolutely stay here again. Poka'i Bay Beach was awesome for our small kids and only 14 min away. We loved the house and yard.

We went for a family vacation and fit everyone’s needs. Great for kids,grandparents and everyone in between. It was a wonderful place to be when we weren’t adventuring on island. Such a spectacular backyard to hangout in, patio for meals and kitchen for cooking. Everyone had their space! Andy and Bryn were quick with any questions we had. We look forward to booking again!

Stunning location and perfectly appointed for our relaxing family visit! We will be back!

Wow! Such an amazing view and peaceful home. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again on future trip to the Big Island.

Lovely home in a good location up in the mountains only a 10 min drive from Kapaa town. Since it is in the mountains there is a lot more rain. We ended up enjoying the south Poipu weather more so will probably stay there next time.

We loved our stay at Mary’s place! Although it was a little more remote than expected, we appreciated the access to the different beautiful beaches in the neighborhood. The snorkeling at Manini Beach was spectacular! Because we had our 8 month old granddaughter with us, we also spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool. The “glamping” aspect of our stay was fun and we enjoyed the sounds of nature, particularly our rooster alarm at the crack of dawn which certainly helped us get our days started. We would highly recommend Mary’s place and wouldn’t hesitate staying again when on the island.
