OCEANFRONT Rhythm -2 Bd/1 bth Beachfront TVNC 4288

MatthewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were a family of 3 with a 9 year old and had a perfect stay here. The cottage had a beautiful ocean view and cool breezes all day and night. Beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, snorkels, fins, yoga mats - this place is stocked for light packers. We walked to nearby restaurants every day and cooked a few meals with groceries from across the street. The trail right outside the front door is perfect for strolls or biking. We recommend kayaking up the Wailua River nearby and made a trip to Hanalei and multiple beaches nearby. The baby beach nearby was perfect for relaxing and swimming as well. Highly recommend!

Hanalei Garden Surf Cottage

XavierRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We are a newly wed couple that had the opportunity to stay in this lovely cottage hosted by Micco. We were not prepared to disconnect from our daily lives and immerse ourselves into the laid-back, country vibe that this cottage provided. Our host gifted us fresh papaya and lime one gorgeous morning, which was grown locally. It was truly the chefs kiss to this island tropical cottage getaway. The small, thoughtful conveniences truly stood out to us, especially when heading out to explore Hanalei and the beautiful island that is Kauai. Boogie boards, beach umbrellas, coolers, beach floaties, it was all there and included. Miguel was kind, communicative, and definitely wanted to ensure our comfort, safety, and overall enjoyment of our island experience. Whatever the highest rating is to give a host, please, times that score by 10!! Thank you for your aloha, Micco! It permeates throughout this property and definitely adds to the overall vibe of this island gem.

Oceanfront Retreat on Kalapaki Bay Kauai Sleeps 4

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Pictures do not do this place justice! We were simply wow’d by the views and personal touches. It felt like a friend welcoming you into their home! One of the better properties I’ve stayed including amenities and number of personal items that you would have in your home (first aid, abundance of towels, washer/dryer, well stocked kitchen, beach gear…) Ac runs nice and cool. Abundance of food options within 5-10 minutes. Close to airport but not too close to be bothered by the planes. Make sure to utilize the provided sound machines … roosters are up at 4am 😂. Short access to kalapaki beach - great for beginning surfing or kids who love the sand.

June 5-July Sale! Beautiful Private Cottage w/AC

NeerajRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing time staying at this property! The Airbnb has an incredibly spacious living room and kitchen. We greatly appreciated the AC in the bedroom which was essential on the hot days during our trip. The Airbnb was perfectly clean and all the amenities were as described. We especially enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrella, which we used daily at the nearby Poipu Beach. The property is situated in a modern and peaceful development close to beach and the nearby shopping complex, which has a bunch of great food options. One thing to note - there are no curtains or window shades in the living room, so the privacy in the main area could be better. Overall, we loved our stay here and hope to be back!

Hale Alaula Cottage TVNC#1010 TA#100-928-3072-01

BronsonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Ipo Cottage - steps to the beach TVR 1052

MorganRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Location Location Location! This cozy place is nestled in the deepest part of the North Shore of Kaua'i. A special and sacred location. Close to Tunnels Beach and the entrance to the Ha'ena State park with gorgeous Ke'e Beach - buy a reservation pass ahead of time! We loved the proximity to The Haven coffee shop close by. The outdoor shower and jungle views were perfection. After 5 nights without A/C and with many mosquito bites we were ready for more space and enjoyed staying in Princeville. We loved it here and would stay at Ipo Cottage again!

Sunny Poipu Cottage, walk to beach and restaurants

RobertRating, 5 stars4 months ago
As advertised. Charming cottage in the perfect location in Poipu. Small but clean and airy. All sorts of supplies, spices, kitchen and beach gadgets. Furnishings not expensive but Linens, sheets and bedding were very nice. The landscaping and flowers were over the top. Owner communicates well and there were no problems

A delightful property, nestled in the trees within walking distance of Tunnels Beach. The view of the mountain was magical. Beautifully appointed; comfortable and airy with lots of space. Ideal for a couple. We loved our time there.
A colorful hammock is seen draped between wooden posts on a covered lanai, inviting relaxation. Lush greenery surrounds the area, with tropical palm trees visible in the background and a gentle stream flowing nearby.

Plantation style home / Anini Beach

ElisabethRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Mary’s home was perfect for our family of four. We have two young children and Anini beach was perfect! Just across the street is an access path to the beach. Soft sand with crystal clear calm shallow water, perfect for snorkeling and just splashing around. We even saw a sea turtle. The house is much better then the pictures, beautiful plantation style interior with a screened in dining area and lani to enjoy the morning sun. Our kids loved the out door shower and all beach equipment supplied at the house. My one comment is that it can be loud at night with roosters and cars passing by. If you bring ear plugs you’ll be fine. We can’t wait to come back.
