Vacation rentals in Kauai

This was our second time staying at this incredible Airbnb, and we already can’t wait to come back. Everything about this place is thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained. The kitchen is a dream with full size appliances and everything you need to cook and enjoy meals. The entire space has such a warm, inviting feel. The couch is super comfortable (perfect for relaxing after a beach day), and the big TV made movie nights so fun. We also loved the extra touches of beach chairs, a cooler, high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash basically everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Allison, the host, is truly exceptional. She’s incredibly kind, responsive, and communicates everything so clearly. It really makes a difference when you know you’re in such good hands. Can’t say enough good things. This place is a gem!

The minute I walked in, I thought “I wish I lived here!” It’s ver sweet- warm, cozy and very clean …and in such an idyllic location. They have a beautiful farm in a lovely upscale neighborhood, close to what you might need in Kilauea and not far from Hanalei. I loved it!

Great communication from the host. Beach is big with plenty of space at the resort

We had an amazing stay! Had many amenities more than other air b&b’s provide. Everything was super clean. Had an amazing morning and sunset view. And Was very easy to check in and out. I forgot a few pieces of clothing items and they sent me a picture to see if it was mine while i’ve left things before but never got reached out about it. Truly loved it here!!

Staying at this rainforest cottage was an unforgettable experience! Nestled deep in lush greenery, it truly felt like a hidden gem. The peaceful sounds of nature—from birds to gentle rain—created an incredibly relaxing atmosphere. The cottage was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with everything we needed. Waking up to the mist rolling through the trees was magical. One thing that caught us by surprise was that the restroom is located outside on the porch. It was definitely unexpected at first, but it ended up adding to the off-the-grid charm of the place. Just something to be aware of if you're not used to that kind of setup. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering great local tips and making us feel right at home. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii.

Mira’s place was the perfect Kauai stay! The space was right on the beach, surrounded by lots of amenities and very easy to find. Recommend to anyone visiting Kauai!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better spot! The view and time spent on the back patio will be a lifelong memory of ours. The beach gear that was available was super clutch for our days at the beach and a very nice added touch as we didn’t think about that initially. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Allison the Host was incredibly friendly and very helpful with local recommendations and trying to be very flexible to work with my time frames. The home was cute and super convenient to the pool and the beach, plus being on the ground level you walk out onto the yard and you can smell the flowers!

Great place. We loved the layout and everything was extremely clean and comfortable. It was so cozy and truly felt like a home away from home. Everything we needed was there. Snorkels, beach chairs, towels, etc. It had a beautiful view and close to everything we wanted to do! We would 100% stay again!

Veronica’s condo was exactly what we needed to enjoy our Honeymoon in Kauai! The location was our favorite aspect, you could get to each side of the island within an hour and we did so many activities that the location was perfect. The condo itself is exactly as described and the pool and grounds are beautiful. The sunrises from the beach right out front are gorgeous and we really enjoyed all the chickens running around. We would absolutely stay with Veronica again in Kauai.

Amazing space, very nice interior, with a very cool (temperature) controlled shower. Easy and clear instructions on the Manuel. Overall a great stay!

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.

We loved our week spent here! It is the perfect size for a couple and has everything you need to enjoy a week on Kauai. Host was very responsive and proactive about informing us of all the details we needed to know about our stay. Would definitely recommend staying here, we’ll be back for sure!

Three of us had a wonderful 3 night stay at Alex's place and I'm so grateful as it was the perfect way for us to begin our Kauai visit celebrating our son's high school graduation. The condo was very clean, the beds comfortable, linens were so nice and the spacious kitchen had everything needed! There were lots of thoughtful touches like an informative binder waiting for us, plenty of beach supplies and several portable fans throughout the condo to keep us cool. We enjoyed our mornings on the lanai at sunrise and found the neighbors and grounds to be very peaceful and quiet. We'll definitely stay again and recommend Alex's place to others. One tip if you plan to grocery shop is to sign up online for the free membership at Foodland to receive significant savings.

The view!! We watched turtles from the lanai, and beautiful sunrises. And the surroundings were dark enough to see a gorgeous night sky when it was clear. The condo was spacious and clean. Bed was super comfortable, as was the living room furniture. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided. Easy walk to several beaches, short drive to several others. Walked over to the Beach House for happy hour. Close to restaurants and shops. Really enjoyed our stay!

If you’re looking for a real Hawaiian experience—away from resorts and crowded beaches—Kendall and Joel’s place in Kekaha is pure magic. The private beach alone is worth the stay: wide open, golden, and basically all yours. Morning swims. Sunset strolls. Stars so bright you feel like you’re in a planetarium. Their property is tucked among mango trees (yes, you can pick them!), and it’s the perfect launch point for west-side adventures. Waimea Canyon is a short drive away—and if you’ve never seen the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” prepare to be humbled. Polihale Beach, one of the most stunning (and spiritual) beaches in all of Hawai‘i, is also within reach. The drive is “easy” and 1000% worth it. This spot is low-key, wild, and beautiful—the kind of place that stays with you long after the tan fades. If you want nature, space, and that slow, peaceful vibe Hawai‘i does best—this is it. Book it.

I enjoyed our stay. Sometimes parking could be somewhat annoying after 8pm but we never not found a spot, sometimes it just wasn’t as close to our lodging. The place was clean and as advertised. The beach equipment was very useful!

Beautiful and secluded location right on the water. The views are unmatched. The cottage is removed from the crowds around Hanalei which is great for privacy but will be a decent drive to most restaurants and stores. The cottage maximizes the views with large windows facing the water. Since there is not A/C in the cottage (as indicated in the listing), we'd recommend to future guests to try and arrive in the afternoon to get the fans going and open the windows so that you can sleep at a comfortable temperature. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

Our stay at the cottage was great. Very close to the beach and really appreciated the beach equipment provided. We loved relaxing and enjoying the slower speeds and stunning scenery. The quick ride into town wasn't bad for dinners. Greatly appreciated the AC in the bedrooms. Highly recommend this location.

The view was amazing! We really enjoyed the beach, had it to ourselves on two morning visits minus a napping monk seal! The bed was comfortable and surprisingly so was the couch. Thanks!

Lauren reached out to us that we could check in early, she was also so kind to let us have a late check in as well. The unit was so beautiful with stunning ocean views. Would definitely stay again and tell our friends about this special spot.

What a place! This home truly has everything you need—and then some. Every appliance and piece of furniture is high-end, and the entire space is spotless. The attention to detail throughout the house really stood out to me. As a tea lover, I especially appreciated the instant hot water faucet—such a small touch, but it made things so much easier. Communication was fast and seamless. Honestly, this may have been my favorite rental yet. Highly recommend!

This house was perfect. The porch was nestled up against the forest and we had horses visit us each day. It was a very short walk to a quiet beach and a short drive to Hanalei Bay for groceries. Honestly didn’t feel like we needed to go anywhere else on the island because this place was so relaxing.

We loved our stay here. My wife & I were both impressed with the room itself - great kitchen with new appliances , convenient coffee bar, spacious bathroom and shower, and very nice to have in-unit laundry with detergent supplied for us! The place also had all the beach gear you could need. Then, the resort amenities were top notch. Great pool & hot tub, lovely fire pit seating area with spectacular views, and great activities available like tennis and pickleball. There’s a bit of a walk down to the beach, but the resort offers complimentary golf cart rides that were always quickly accessible for us if we didn’t want to walk. And, getting down to the beach was absolutely worth it - gorgeous views! We will hope to be back again!
