Places to stay in Kauai

Beautiful place and location…spend the week on the large lanai soaking in the sound of the waves! House was well stocked with both kitchen supplies and beach supplies (chairs, wagon, toys, boogie board) which made a beach vacation with 4 little children very enjoyable and easy! Loved the outdoor hose to spray off the sand after a day at the beach and the outdoor shower was an added bonus! A few of the overhead fans could not be turned up from a low setting making it quite warm on some of the nights -a few box fans/portable fans would help significantly to move around the house when it gets warm but otherwise everything was amazing and would stay here again!

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!!

We really enjoyed our 10 nights at Devaki’s beautiful house. It was quiet and peaceful. We never closed the windows or blinds and listening to the rain at night was wonderful. Waking up at daybreak to that view was really nice. The location is perfect and we hope to return soon.

We couldn’t have asked for anything else! This place was stocked with everything to enjoy your Kauai vacation. The garage had lots of things to go out and use at the beach and around Princeville. The house was beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping for! Amy was awesome and extremely accommodating and responsive. We would 100% stay here again!! Thanks🌺

This property is stunningly beautiful! It has a designer vibe yet is quite comfortable, incredibly well appointed, and centrally located. The communication with Aurora was amazing! She was super responsive and very informative! We have stayed in Airbnb’s all over the country and internationally and our family agreed that this was the nicest one we have stayed in and the best experience by far!

Jacob's place was wonderfully located! The rooms were spacious and can easily host a good group. He was communicative and provided good recommendations for nearby food and beaches. The chairs, wagon, towels, and other outdoor amenities were a major plus! Would definitely consider rebooking next time I'm in Kauai.

We loved our stay! We could have stayed 2 weeks. Loved the plunge pool feature and garden. Chilling out on the screen porch was so relaxing. We enjoyed making dinner in the modern kitchen and watching movies in the comfortable living room. Driving into Kapa’a was quick and easy either north or south route. Understand that Kauai is windy most of the time; the pool will have leaves fall into it all day. Just net them out before each dip.

We loved staying at Natalie’s place! Only wish we could have stayed longer- which we hope to next time. We decided last minute to extend our time near Hanalei Bay and Natalie was so responsive and made that happen for our family so that we could enjoy our favorite area on Kauai. This house is beautifully renovated and has everything you need. We loved the neighborhood and proximity to everything in town. Our kids loved the back yard and all the fun stuff in garage that you need for the beach or a ride through the beautiful Princeville neighborhood. Beds were very comfortable and linens,towels, and all the details were above expectations.

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.

We absolutely adored our stay at Lee's stunning cottage. It was a little slice of paradise, and every day we fell asleep and woke up to the sweet sound of birds singing around us. It was also the perfect home base to launch out from and explore various parts of the island. Lee was also extremely kind and shared some delicious greens from their farm with us. We're so grateful and are already scheming on when we can come back here!

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.

Thank you Margaret and Jack for your terrific hospitality! We appreciate all the little items that made our stay fantastic like cleanliness, many kitchen utensils and appliances ( like the blender and coffee water heater). Matthew was an excellent source of help with anything and everything including great healthy diet suggestions. Would highly recommend your place to all our friends and family!

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.

Extra points for that beautiful view from the main bedroom (rainbows every day) and the shower is excellent! We had a great stay at the „little red haus“. Clark was great and always helpful at communicating everything. Very uncomplicated check-in and -out. Mahalo 🌺

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

Enjoyed the most mellow and relaxing vacation with my adult children. We walked daily on the great pathway and took in the blue ocean and the peaceful setting. The neighborhood was quiet and what I expected. We enjoyed eating at all the wonderful local places within a casual 20 minute walk. It was rainy this time of the year so sometime we just stayed and chilled in the awesome living room. The house is old so it has its charms but it felt like going to a beach house. There are plenty of windows and we slept with them open and it was very windy at night so we didn’t miss the a/c at all. We are from the Pacific Northwest, my son said he was surprised that 72 degrees could feel so cold and it was funny to see him wear his puffy jacket at times. Anyone staying here in the spring should probably bring a jacket because the wind and moisture can make it feel a lot colder than it should be due to being right next to the ocean. This is an excellent location overall.

Debra and her husband (and her friendly dog Hoku) were all so welcoming. This is a great location a block from the ocean. Debra was a great communicator and responded quickly when we needed something, but also gave us space and peace throughout our trip. We will stay here again next time we go to the west side!! Also, great surf spots near by.

My sisters and I loved this place. Ingrid is great, quick to respond and very helpful. The location is beautiful, very close to great beaches and snorkeling. The beach is just across the street and always empty giving one the feel of having a private beach. Great views from the dining room so we often ate dinner at home after being gone for the day. Close to a great little coffee shop-The Haven. We look forward to going back!

We loved our stay at Brad's house. It was incredibly clean and felt well-loved. The attention to detail (fans in strategic locations throughout the house, extra towels and blow dryers in the bathrooms, a huge washing machine, enough kitchen utensils/pots/pans etc. to easily feed our group of ten, tasteful Hawaiian decor, soft sheets, comfortable beds, and so much more) all added to the pleasure of the experience. The neighborhood is very quiet - which we appreciated. The views from the main living area of the house are were beautiful. We highly recommend this house and hope to return at some point in the future.

Our family felt right at home, thanks to Donna! It was comfortable and clean, and really ended up being exactly how she described! We will definitely reach out to Donna next time we're coming to Kauai!

We had a great time here! We loved the location next to the Grand Hyatt and all that they have to offer. You can walk to shipwreck beach 5-10 min. Geralyn was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. it was hard for us to find a place last minute that would accommodate 7 guests. this place worked out great it's just the right amount of beds. if you are looking to stay in Poipu/Koloa this is a great option. We loved all the beach gear available for use in the garage. Very convenient. Hope to be back again sometime in the future.
