Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Island of Hawai'i

Melissa's place was perfect for our stay. Her place was very clean and felt like home. Location was very convenient.

Overall, I was very satisfied. First, Joseph welcomed us very kindly and explained things to us kindly. Second, the living room and kitchen were clean. Third, the bedroom and bathroom were also clean and well organized. A place I look forward to visiting again next year.

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.

It was a very beautiful setting with wonderful flowers and birds right outside the window! My only complaint is that there is not a lot of soundproofing between the main house and the rental so you can hear a lot of what the host is doing in the main house. Otherwise, the location was perfect to get to Volcano National Park very quickly and the room was clean with a lovely bathroom and a comfortable bed for an overnight stay. Thanks!

We loved the space, everything was as advertised, the home was even better in person. Clean, well supplied with everything we need to make our meals. The outdoor showers were so nice after a long day of sightseeing. Thank you Jessica for making our stay enjoyable.

We had some great days. Nathan and Christina reply really quick, always friendly and were also flexible enough to help us when we needed some changes in our dates. The place is in a local neighborhood, so you feel really more like living in the island than just being in a touristic area - but you are also a short drive from everything. The location is over a hill, so you have an amazing view. The yard/garden around the property is covered with nature, was really nice to see again some tropical plants like in our homecountry. The house had everything we needed for the stay, including beach stuff. Wifi worked pretty well. The house have a very good cross-ventilation and a lot of fans around, it may warm up a little bit in the afternoon - nothing bad - but was chilly during the rest of day and night, and this is the standard across Hawaii. Great place if you want to experience like living there, we loved and should certainly return :)

Had a wonderful three nights at Lisa's for our anniversary. Place was cozy, clean, and just like the pictures. It's peaceful and private, only one nearby neighbor who we never saw, and the rest is beautiful forest. The sounds of the coqui frogs at night took some getting used to haha but they add to the jungle ambiance. Location is hard to beat so close to the national park. We enjoyed the record player and fireplace.

I could really use a studio so cozy like this one that fit our vibe 100%. The only flaw would be at night, if it’s hot, the termites are out to get yahhh! The host Hal, upon check in felt like I was staying with blood family. Easygoing and fulfilled our needs. Mahalo Nui

We really enjoyed Kathy’s condo. It was close to all of our snorkeling tours. Kathy is a very responsive host and gave great recommendations for food and activities. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Super clean, excellent and pristine furniture. The garden and the surrounding were fascinating. I was surprised to learn that we're allowed to use the barbecue grill and the bon fire but unfortunately had little time to use as there are a lot of things to do at the Big Island. Hopefully next time! Thanks for the beautiful stay!

I absolutely loved staying here! The place was so cozy and welcoming. It had everything I needed and more. The location was fantastic too - close to Hāpuna beach . I couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during my trip. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a perfect airbnb! This is my second time staying here 🤗

This was an amazing place. I wish we had stayed here longer. The space is immaculate, spacious, inviting, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful! Joyce was an incredible host who went above and beyond. Very close to town (beaches, restaurants, and tours). It’s in a suburban neighborhood, but feels remote and is very quiet and private. We will definitely stay here when we return to Hilo!

We had an amazing stay! The apartment was so spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved watching the horses from the lanai and having Buddy the dog greet us everyday when we arrived back. We felt like we had the best spot on the island to watch the sunset. The sounds of the coqui frogs at sunset was absolutely amazing and so relaxing to fall asleep to. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped for self catering and it was really helpful having some things in the cupboards like spices, oil, syrup, etc. We were so sorry when it was time for us to leave!

Very good experience. Close to the sea and it’s pretty convenient. Great view.

Staying here was the best decision. The hosts are sooo nice, we didn’t get to meet Jeannie but John is an absolute legend. The place is much bigger than it looks in pictures and has such a nice vibe. The fresh fruit in the garden is amazing, fresh orange juice in the morning and the soursop were so good. The place was clean and smelt really nice. I honestly feel like they need to be charging more as you get so much more than what you pay for. Thanks for a sensational stay, 10/10 would recommend!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay! The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It had a great view of the ocean, sunset, walking distance to a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and along the beautiful coastal strip. We felt right at home and it was a great place to experience The Big Island 🏝️ Mahalo!

We loved staying at Vincent's place. Very clean, comfortable furniture, great kitchen, and amazing location. It's a 15 minute walk or a 3-minute drive to A-Bay, which is a wonderful and calm beach for swimming. The condo was stocked with chairs, umbrellas, and towels, even boogie boards and snorkels. Great location, we loved exploring the Kohala Coast and the surrounding beaches, and there is good food within Waikoloa Beach and in the surrounding resorts. AC kept things comfortable and we loved the shaded patio for breakfast. Thanks for a great stay and I hope we get to come back!

This place is exactly as described, quiet, clean, and close to everything in Waikōloa beach. The decor was nice and AC was wonderful. We enjoyed the pool and the kitchen was stocked with all essentials for cooking! One thing cleaning-wise that would have been better is if the floor was mopped… walking around with bare feet, our feet got dirty quickly. However we will definitely be back to visit Carlos’ place.

I stayed here for nearly a week at Kirk's condo and I am very satisfied with the place. It's located in a central area close to the Kailua Boardwalk and a few resorts. He's also transparent and very communicative on the check in and check out processes. I highly recommend Kirk's place if you want to stay in Kona. Mahalo nui loa Kirk!

Our stay here was perfect. Location was amazing right by the beach at a peaceful community, great for viewing sunrise/sunset. The place was just as pictured, very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

place was beautiful! spacious and very well kept. location was great just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the strip down the road. host was responsive and helpful!

This is the second time I’ve stayed in this building at this complex. I prefer Kitty’s place because it’s on the top floor, with the best set up on the patio. I appreciated the low chairs—and having three chairs— and a little table. I spent every evening out there and I loved it so much. Everything else in the apartment was great, including the bed, extra pillows, work table, and couch, and Kitty responded quickly to my questions. You can walk to the best dining and bar experiences. You cannot find a nicer place here; just remember to bring your own shampoo and conditioner 😬. I will return!

We read reviews about bugs and a bad smell, however we had no issues with either. Place felt very clean and smelled great, has all the amenities and appliances that we needed. Even had a boogie board in the closet that we could use which was fun! Overall great place, right by tons of restaurants and stores as well as the shoreline.
