Kid-friendly vacation rentals in North Shore, Waialua

We had a wonderful stay in Haleiwa in June 2025. The beach front property is beautiful and is actually larger inside than the photos show. I was worried our pack n play crib wouldn’t fit in the room with the bed but there was enough room. Everything in the house is nicely redone and the beach chairs, surfboards, and kayaks are a nice addition. It is about a 20 minute walk to Haleiwa bowls and coffee in town. Overall, it was the perfect one bedroom for our stay on the north shore.

I had a great stay at this beautiful apartment! The space was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Check-in was super easy with clear instructions provided ahead of time. Charlie was communicative and helpful throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again! Mahalo nui!

We had the best time here. So close to Waimea Bay which became our fav beach, it was less than a 10 min walk! Absolutely wonderful place to stay, also very kind and helpful host!

Great location with incredible scenery. It's a very quiet and private area. I would recommend staying here if you're looking to be away from the busyness of the city.

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.

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.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Emma's place! The location, in the majestic Makaha Valley, was absolutely stunning! Emma's house was spacious, sparkling clean, and perfectly appointed in every way. The home is especially well suited for a family, with plenty of space for everyone. We immedately felt at home and able to unwind after a busy day of adventures around Oahu. By the end of our visit, my kids were ready to move in! Emma's house is the definition of indoor-outdoor living, with a brand new backyard complete with pretty landscaping, an outdoor cooking space with grill, a bar seating six, a comfortable seating area, and a hot tub! Just steps away is a private neighborhood pool great for families. Emma is a fabulous host who is responsive, flexible, and kind. She has thought of every detail to make this a great stay for a family of all ages, and she went out of her way multiple times to accomodate our family's needs. We look forward to returning again soon!

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 stay and we would’ve booked for a longer trip for this Airbnb but our family provided for the rest of our stay. My partner and I enjoyed all the amenities especially since we had our baby with us. Besides the beautiful view and the thought out room design. It really made a difference with everything provided from the kitchen, parking, even the amenities for the beach. Jayden and his team were very responsive. We had kindly asked to check in early which I was hoping for and felt so grateful to have been accommodated because traveling with a baby is literally the Olympics. I truly appreciate him and his team!! I definitely would recommend this airbnb to my friends, family, and to the person who is reading this review!!

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.

Nice neighborhood close, but not too close, to beaches and parks. Many families in the area and has more of a local feel than further north. Young kids upstairs full of energy but quiet by bedtime.

Absolutely loved this place! Got the additional parking pass and it was well worth it. We were able to keep the parking pass a few hours after checkout and they were very flexible about that. Location was great and very walkable to the beach and shopping buildings. The place was gorgeous and just as pictured. The only thing is that I wish we stayed longer!

A peaceful, beautiful, secure, and remote location not in a high-traffic tourist area. This location requires a rental car to explore any island locations of interest for your trip. The pools and landscaping are well-maintained. Tennis courts are located right on site. The A/C works great, and the king-size bed is comfortable. We noted that the porch and entry lights needed replacement, and even with instructions, we couldn't figure out how to work the TV remote. Some remaining food was left in the cupboards and refrigerator upon our arrival, and the garbage disposal worked off and on. Upkeep and deep cleaning would be beneficial. There were provided beach towels, coolers, and other beach amenities, which made our stay much more enjoyable. The chosen hair dryer works very well. There is a convenient washer/dryer unit in this condo. We knew that we could reach out for anything we needed. Overall, we would gladly stay there again.

Fantastic location if you are wanting a relaxed north shore trip! We were able to walks to sharks cove, sunset beach, pipeline, a pillbox hike, and a food truck area just to name a few! Logged that there’s an outdoor shower for post beach wash off and an in door shower with full sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! The back porch was great for hanging out on at night. Overall great location and would stay there again!

I had an amazing time. The view from the window was amazing as well. I never closed the drapes not even once. I made some really cool friends in the building as well and at some of the businesses nearby. People were friendly. This location is situated by several of the city’s bus routes making travel a breeze. This is the perfect location for 1 or 2 people to stay at!! Mahalo. I will stay again!!

Wonder stay and wonderful host! Very cute studio with a private balcony. Also great location and easy check in. The host was beyond kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place!

the apartment is lovely and well situated with green surroundings.

Lyndsey’s place was in a lovely, peaceful location but close to lots of great places to eat and fabulous beaches. There were lots of handy extras like snorkels and beach chairs. The pool was right outside the suite too which was perfect. Great spot for a family visiting Turtle Bay.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOST!!! I would stay in any of their homes. They were impeccable host. I felt welcomed. I could tell they prepared for my arrival. The hospitality could be felt instantly. I travel frequently for work and this was by far my BEST experience. THANK YOU FOR THE THOUGHTFUL DETAILS THAT WENT INTO MAKING US FEEL SO WELCOMED 😊

Great place to stay, very clean, had all of the amenities needed, including AC which was nice.

We had a great stay. Everything was as described in the listing. Terra was very responsive and communicated clearly. She even offered a late checkout, which was a big help. This is a great place on the north shore, close to a number of amazing beaches.

The apartment is clean and conveniently located. The provided airbed was perfect for our daughter who was joining us. Communication with Nicole was excellent and she was very quick to respond to all our enquiries. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed to make meals and our daughter enjoyed taking the provided buckets and spades to the beach. She also enjoyed the pool which is close by the apartment. Those sensitive to noise may want to be aware that sound travels easily between apartments, particularly from upstairs.

We had a great time! There are beautiful, swimmable beaches within walking distance (including walking with little kids) and great food trucks just down the road. The home was clean, comfortable, and easy to cook full meals in. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Pua Moana. It is the perfect size for our small family. The unit is beautifully maintained, clean, and well stocked. We were able to walk to the beach and the Ritz. Scott takes pride in maintaining the unit and cares for his guests. He gave us a quick check-in orientation and tips/updates on things happening while we stayed. We will defiantly consider another stay at Pua Moana.
