Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kawela Bay

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 of 14 (!) had an awesome stay at this stunning, newly built home in a gated community with 24/7 security. Emma was incredibly kind, responsive, and truly went above and beyond, answering every question quickly and even helping us get extra supplies during our stay. The house was spotless, spacious, and perfect for our group. Working remotely was a breeze thanks to the reliable gigabit fiber internet, which is hard to come by on the island. The backyard felt like a private tropical oasis, with lush plants, tons of comfy seating, and a brand-new hot tub that quickly became our favorite hangout spot. While we didn’t use the community pool, it looked clean and well-maintained when we drove by. We’ve stayed at many Airbnbs, but Emma’s thoughtfulness, quick communication, the view of the cliffs from the backyard, and the ocean view from the front yard made this place truly exceptional. Would absolutely stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Good place, modern, and had a nice view from the yard of the natural beauty. lots of toys to take to the beach and in a nice gated community

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!

Lindsay's place was perfect. It was clean and big enough for family of four. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Only thing that would have made it better was a place to hang out outside but no complaints. It was perfect for our stay. We'd definitely book again.

Great ohana memories were made, it seriously felt like home. Host was quick in responding. Ocean view was better than expected in person. Will definitely miss waking up to that great view. Mahalo! 🤙🏻 ❤️

The place was very cute and comfy, felt right at home. It had all the comforts of home. We all enjoyed our stay very much. Jordan was an excellent host and was very responsive.

Amazing place to stay! Only hiccup was the code to the gate/door being incorrect in the message that was sent to me, but after figuring out the correct code, it was a perfect stay!

Great place to stay! Perfect location with easy access to turtle bay! Chandler was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting the north shore 🌺

This is the absolute best Airbnb I have been to! Perfectly described and in the perfect location. Nicole was an awesome host! We wish we could stay forever!

Peter's place was perfect for our 5 day stay. You are right on the beach with nothing between you and the ocean. You are on the 12th floor with beyond amazing views of the ocean, sunsets, boats, turtles and we even saw a moon rise the last morning. The beach is one of the most pristine beaches I have ever seen. The water is clear, the sand is thick with absolutely zero seaweed. The beach appeared to be about 1/4 -1/2 mile long which I loved to just walk. The sand was so thick that it was a workout to just walk. Even the wet sand was thick! The beach is quiet with just a handful of folks on it at any time. Be aware that the west side of Oahu is the "poorer" section of the island. There are homeless encampments on the public beaches. Since this is a private gated community with 24/7 security there are no issues with homeless folks. We had a car and did lots of sightseeing during the day on the North, South and East side of Oahu. I came for the beach and it did not disappoint.

Very responsive host. Great location. Very comfortable and well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to make several delicious meals. Renovated downstairs bathroom. Not the most luxe condo at this complex but absolutely fine for the price.

Jeannine’s place was the perfect play to stay in the North Shore close by Turtle Bay. It was super convenient to walk to the Turtle Bay Resort and easy access to food and great spots nearby that’s local to the North Shore. The airbnb was well kept, modernized, clean, and had everything you could need! Would recommend this spot to anyone staying in the area and would definitely book again!

We loved our stay here! Such a great location, close to a lot of restaurants and activities. Her list of recommendations was so helpful too! Bed was comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. Highly recommend!!

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

Located right next to Turtle Beach, close to tons of other beaches! It was so nice to have beach chairs, boogie boards, towels and even a wagon to haul everything available to use. The AC worked great, which was wonderful for us Arizona natives who are not use to humidity! The townhouse had everything we needed and we would highly recommend staying here. The host was responsive to any messages we sent.

Good place to stay, bedrooms have air conditioning, the rest of the house does not so it takes a while to cool it off. That wouldn’t change us staying there though. Couple of roaches in the kitchen drawer but otherwise very clean. Would stay here again. Close to a beach and within driving distance to other beaches.

Cecilia is an amazing host. She is very accommodating and extremely quick to respond. Perfect location and easy to access.

The place was perfect for our family of four and she had two beds in the living room!!! So close to the ocean and the Ritz Carlton and even closer to the golf course and restaurant. You get to be right next to the nicest facilities in north shore for a fair price. The place was perfect, well decorated and equipped.

Shannon's place on the North Shore was a perfect spot for our staycation. The condo was a close walk to Turtle Bay, the even being held at Turtle Bay, and a short drive to many amazing food trucks and restaurants. The condo had a gorgeous view of one of the golf course holes and free flowing palm trees. The unit itself was perfect for our needs and would be great for a small family or group. Easy to find, close parking, and super helpful hosts. Absolute gem on the North Shore.

We had a wonderful time at this clean, quiet, and relaxing condo. The coffee was great, and we loved being so close to the beach. It was the perfect place to unwind. There were a few good food options nearby, and the peaceful setting made it easy to disconnect. Would definitely come back!

Wendy’s place at Turtle Bay was an absolute dream! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything we needed—from beach towels and chairs to a full kitchen setup. The location can’t be beat—just a short walk to the beach, golf course, restaurants, and some of the best sunsets we’ve ever seen. Wendy was a phenomenal host—responsive, thoughtful, and full of great local recommendations. We especially appreciated the personal touches and how easy she made the check-in process. Whether you’re looking to surf, relax, or explore the North Shore, this is the perfect home base. We’ll definitely be back!
