Modern Sealodge 2BD 2BA Ocean View Walk to Beach
Beautiful location , stunning views of the mountains and sea . Very comfortable bed , well equipped kitchen , perfect for a family vacation . Highly recommended! Thank you Brooke

1BR Oceanfront | Lanai | Washer/dryer | Ocean View
We’ve stayed in Baby’s Beach area and Koloa before but never at Kuhio Shores. We really enjoyed location and the unit! The stove wasn’t working properly so that was a bummer as it disrupted a couple meals we planned to make but they were very responsive and came to unit to assess situation. We would stay here again.

Seaside Serenity in Hawaii
We had a lovely stay at Jim’s place. The condo had everything we needed and all that you’d need to have a great beach day (snorkels, umbrella, chairs, towels, etc). Easy check in and free parking. The facility across the road for a pool, outdoor gym, etc., was a nice touch and something we enjoyed utilizing. 10 min walk to the beach and a cute area for dinner, we recommend Keoki’s paradise for drinks. A 5 minute walk to a great breakfast cafe, little fish. Overall we would absolutely stay here again.

Oceanfront at Pono Kai!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Pono Kai. The lanai faced directly out over the ocean. We were able to watch the sunrise every morning. The beach was very private and not that many people. Beautiful sand and the waves were very calm. There were also a lot of shops within walking distance of our unit. Also, the long walking path was right outside the condo so we were able to go for nice walks every morning.

Aloha Kai: Oceanfront @ Lae Nani's Newest Reno, AC
Our stay at Jon's condo was AMAZING!!!!!! The entire property is so beautiful and so well maintained. The amount of flowers are so beautiful! The condo is perfect from the minute you walk in! The view out the slider of the beautiful grass area that flows right on to the beach and ocean was spectacular!! There's absolutely everything you need in the condo and it is beautiful. We felt right at home the minute we walked in! In less than a 5 minute walk there's the Lava Lava Beach Club for dining and cocktails on the beach. They have live music in the evening which we really enjoyed. Also the Coconut Marketplace is just another few minutes past Lava Lava. There's restaurants and shops were great. Whatever you do you Must have a Shave Ice at JoJo's! The best! We would certainly stay there again and are looking forward to a return visit!! Mahalo Jon and Sabrina!!

Ukulele Oasis @ Kiahuna | AC | Family-Friendly
A wonderful stay for our young family! Stay was well kept and as pictured. We loved the walk ability to beautiful beaches and access to the Athletic Club. The area is unmatched and the A/C wonderful. Bonus: the kid amenities. It doesn’t go unnoticed that Shaun and his wife are parents and took the time to think of the little things. Little fish is a definite bonus across the street! We hope to be back. As hotel owners ourselves we would highly recommend this stay.

New Remodeled Kuaui Escape! 1/1 with WiFi, AC
We had such a great time here! The location in Kapa’a is perfect—right in the middle of the island, so it was easy to explore both the north and south shores and Waimea Canyon. The nearby Coconut Marketplace is convenient, and I recommend the Tuesday and Thursday farmers market in the parking lot. We grabbed local produce, bread, and butter mochi, and the kitchen was just the right size for making fresh meals. The place was clean, nicely updated and cozy and comfortable home base. We slept well. Allen was super friendly and responsive leading up to our trip, and even gave us a quick call to make sure everything was going well. We also appreciated having beach chairs, a cooler, umbrella, and even a cart—it made beach days super easy. As a younger couple, we loved the slower pace and small-town feel of Kauai after being in Honolulu for a wedding. Nothing felt too far away, and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a cozy and convenient spot. We would book again!

Oceanfront, Million Dollar View, Fully Renovated
Provided a clean picture with amazing view. Great communication. Had all the beach gear you could need for a great beach day (umbrella, towels, snorkeling gear, chairs, cooler, and more). Also, the hiking poles were amazing to have for those long hikes. AC unit in bedroom kept it nice and cold for a great night’s rest. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for an Airbnb on Kauai.
Waterfront house rentals

Kimsey Beach House TVNC#5010 TA#060-903-8336-01
Hands down our best Airbnb experience ever, the house is better than the photos, was clean, comfortable and right on a beach with a wonderfully well kept and large yard. It was a pleasure to come back to it each day after exploring the island. That said, what made the trip exceptional was the host, Kendall was a pleasure to interact with, always responsive and super helpful regarding the house and the area, made several recommendations and even called local resources to confirm that certain parks were open or closed during our stay. We can highly recommend staying here, no regrets.

Hula Hideaway, Kaua'i
Perfect condo for an island getaway. The condo matched the pictures and was relaxing and comfortable. Perfect place to come back to after a long day of beach adventures. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Detached Ohana
An incredible, private and comfortable detached Ohana in a beautiful neighborhood. Conveniently located and walkable to numerous shops, restaurants and the ocean (beaches). We met the owners-sweet, cheery and kind people. Thank you both!! Shaka to you both!! We would definitely stay again in the future. :-) Aloha & Mahalo!!

Your own private oceanview Cottage 16 C
We have stayed at many different properties of Susanne’s over the years, and this was one of our favorite places to stay. Exactly as depicted in the ad. Super clean and super convenient. We can’t wait to come back to Kauai and stay in one of Susanne’s properties in the future.

Modern Home with Hot Tub, AC & Ocean Views!
Another great stay in Koloa! This home never disappoints. It’s such a great set-up for a family, has the most amazing views, and it’s such a great spot to get around the island.

Princeville @ Hanalei - Luxury Home Sleeps 12
The house was great for a group! Check-in/out was keyless but couldn’t do either early or late. Didn’t hear from Jake during our stay

Oceanfront Beach Cottage: Hawaii at it's best!
The host was very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly, which we really appreciated. We booked last minute, and while the property wasn’t ready upon arrival, the host promptly sent a cleaner to take care of it. Once everything was taken care of, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The view is absolutely wonderful, and despite the initial hiccup, we would definitely book this place again!

Kapaa Sands #1 - Oceanfront
Excellent location right on the oceanfront. Easy access to swimmable spot (walk several block down to public beach access or walk over some rocks/logs on the beach toward the more swimmable side). We also snorkeled right in front of the house but entry was a little tricker. House is older but clean. Tracey communicated well with any questions I had and to make sure all was well. Easily walkable to market, several good restaurants, etc. The house worked well for 4 adults and we would absolutely stay again if in the area! Thanks Tracey.
Waterfront condo rentals

Brand New Luxurious Condo on North Shore Kauai
Absolutely perfect! It’s a double condo with tons of space and a double lanai with beautiful views. Truly our best air bnb stay yet. Princeville is gorgeous and the Hanalei Bay Resort has great amenities, two good restaurants, two pools access to the beach and a beach bar. Spectacular!

Breathtaking Waipouli Beach Resort
Nice, clean condo that is well stocked with everything you would need for a fun stay. The kitchen is a great size and helps to save money on meals. The resort is really fun with a pool and water slides and three jacuzzis. The location is fantastic because it is in the middle of the island and across the street from a grocery store and other convenient stores. Also very nice touch for having chocolate, cookies, and coffee for guests. Also the sleeper sofa was comfortable.

OCEAN FRONT private parlor @Marriott beach club
Great communication from the host. Beach is big with plenty of space at the resort

Delightful Oceanfront Condo! 2BR
Great place to stay, super comfy bed, very clean, I would definitely recommend.

Islander Studio Gem Beachfront 2 Full Beds w/AC
Awesome room, great view from the balcony. Beautiful grounds and beach nearby! Walkable to convenience items and quick service food! Lava Lava grill nearby has great Kauai Lime Pie! Will be staying here again :)

Waipouli F102! Stunning Beachfront Oasis w/ Pool!
2nd time staying on this property, first time in this unit. Beautiful and loved the decor! Great place for spring break with our family. One of the more nicer units too as we compared with other units or family were in. Super convenient location in Kapaa, great resort to stay at, great pool access and fantastic host!

If You Deserve the Best, This is it!
We had a wonderful stay at Lae Nani. The home had everything you could need, a comfortable bed, beautiful dishware and glassware for our meals and a magnificent view of the ocean. We spent a great deal of our morning and evenings enjoying the lanai. The location is walkable to shopping and dining which was very convenient. We’ll be sure to come again in the future.

Little Rainbow Kauai | Beachfront, AC, Ocean View
Dan and Katy were very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. When I messaged them about Airbnb issues and questions, they were very quick to resolve any issues. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Kauai!
