Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Honolulu

We had an unforgettable stay ! The location was perfect—just minutes from the beach and tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Waking up to mountains breezes and birdsong each morning was absolute paradise. The home itself was spotless and beautifully decorated with local touches. The kitchen was well-equipped. The host provided everything we needed—beach chairs, snorkel gear. Communication with the host was excellent—super responsive and helpful with local recommendations. We especially appreciated the personal touches like a welcome note and a list of nearby hidden gems (we discovered a great poke spot because of it!). We felt safe, comfortable.

We loved this place! It was definitely one of the more reasonable cost rentals in the Lanikai neighborhood but it didn’t disappoint. A few things of note: - the appliances are high end KitchenAide and Bosch. The cooktop is a two burner induction that you can put away when not in use. Toaster oven as well. Compact dishwasher and fridge is a one drawer fridge/ one drawer freezer that fits under counter - ample beach towels. Also beach chairs and umbrellas. - the pool was wonderful - less than 10 min walk to Lanikai Beach - do the pillbox hike up the ridge behind you if you want a good workout! We loved our week here. Always planned to cook out on the Weber grill but didn’t end up doing so. The patio was awesome at the end of each day and for morning coffee. Neighborhood was safe. Met the pest control guy and the pool guy while we were here- both really friendly. Would definitely choose this place again.

We enjoyed our stay there. Very clean, quiet, and in a nice secluded area. Pictures and description were very adequate. Melissa's instructions and details in her book were helpful too. Only thing I would suggest is darker curtains in the master bedroom. Sunrise is before 6 am and the light will wake you. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a great vacation!

We had a great stay in Kailua! The house is very comfortable, and it’s only a couple minutes walk to the Kalamas beach access. When not at the beach (with the chairs, towels, boogie boards, and toys provided) or eating Island Snow, the kids loved playing in the yard and the play room, and watching movies in the living room. We ended up staying mostly in Kailua and Lanikai for beaches, shopping, and restaurants, with one morning at the botanical gardens in Kaneohe and one at Haunama Bay, and an afternoon at Bishop Museum after check-out. We’d love to stay here again, in this well-appointed and clean house with hosts who responded to our questions and provided clear guidance on the check-in and check-out process.

Brooke’s place was perfect for my partner and I plus daughter and niece. We were able to cook in the kitchen with sharp knives other good kitchen amenities but also appreciated that there were plenty of dining out options very close by. Kailua and adjacent beaches are clean, friendly and beautiful! It felt safe for the teenagers to spend hours on their own. All around great experience with Brooke being very easy to reach and helpful with recommendations for hikes, shops and restaurants.

Good place, modern, and had a nice view from the yard of the natural beauty. lots of toys to take to the beach and in a nice gated community

Emma is a great host. She consistently responded throughout our stay and helped fix minor issues that came up. Her place is beautiful and we had a great family vacation on Oahu. Thanks Emma!

Great ohana memories were made, it seriously felt like home. Host was quick in responding. Ocean view was better than expected in person. Will definitely miss waking up to that great view. Mahalo! 🤙🏻 ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at Tom’s place! The view was even better than in the pictures, and there were even more amenities than were listed (including the WiFi, TV, and a washer/dryer). It’s in a perfect location, and we plan on coming back to Tom’s place! You can’t go wrong booking here.

We stayed at additional night beyond our stay and stayed in another one of their properties that they owned and it was just as amazing as the first one

We had a great time at Jun’s place in Honolulu! The location was excellent and the view from the balcony was incredible!

Maurie was awesome, and the place was great! Absolutely worth the price, and she was always responsive with helpful tips to make my first Hawaii trip even better. The place was perfect for what I wanted to do, very clean and with the amenities advertised. Everything was as advertised and she went above and beyond regarding any questions that I had about the place or the surrounding area. Thanks again for all of your help.

Great place in walking distance to the beach and plenty of other things. The views are amazing, I would book again.

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

Stay was comfortable and Charlie was very responsive. Would stay again if we’re back in the area

We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was clean and looked like the photos. The location was also great, it’s right by the main street with all the shops and restaurants.

Annie’s place is lovely and quaint. Perfect getaway for two. Location was perfect due to the fact that you are a block away from all of the main streets that contain all the restaurants and shops. My wife and I enjoyed our meals out on the balcony that had a nice view of the mountains, channel, and partial ocean view. We would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation near Waikiki Beach! The room was spacious and bright, with modern decor, and it was just a short walk to the beach, making the location very convenient. The host was warm and friendly, providing plenty of recommendations for local food and activities. Enjoying the sea breeze on the balcony every morning was our favorite time. Highly recommend this accommodation and can’t wait to come back!

we thought this place was great. was close to everything g and just a few blocks from the beach.

I stayed at Jayden’s apartment in Waikiki and had a genuinely great experience. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and exactly like the photos, maybe even better in person. It was spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The highlight for me was the view, it was stunning. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s right in the heart of Waikiki, so getting to the beach, restaurants, shops, and local attractions was super convenient. Despite being close to everything, the apartment felt quiet and private, which was great for winding down after a day out. Jayden was a great host: clear communication, easy check-in, and quick to respond to any questions. Everything was smooth from start to finish. Overall, this was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo by the Ala Wai Canal! The location is perfect—just a short walk to Waikiki Beach and all the great local shops and restaurants. The condo is clean and comfortable, with modern kitchen appliances and cozy beds. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the portable beach chairs and umbrella—they came in so handy. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning, with a clear view of both the canal and Waikiki Beach. One morning, we even saw a double rainbow from the balcony looking out toward the beach—it was magical! The host was incredibly responsive, and their team always replied within a minute, making everything smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely love to come back!

David and Jen were extremely helpful during our trip. They provided clear instructions and even gave recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The condo was clean, and pictured accurately. The place is also walking distance to all of downtown Waikiki which was great for walking to dinners and shopping.

Amy was such a great host, she gave us a clear instructions. And she let us to checked-in 3 hours before our original time. Regarding to penthouse, it was peaceful and the view from outside was incredibly beautiful. Also we just walked 10 minutes away from the waikiki beach & international market and 18 minutes from kuhio beach. Would like to recommend this penthouse and for sure we will comeback.

Melanie’s place was everything I’d hoped for and more. I liked the boutique nature of the place. The unit was well appointed and we did not lack for anything. Please make sure you pay attention to the information she sends about the parking in Waikīkī. I was oblivious about the premium parking but it worked out ok. Next time I will probably take an Uber from the airport and use the bus service as it was inexpensive and reliable.
