Modern Ocean Views with AC
Greg’s place was absolutely incredible and I wish we stayed there way longer than what we did. The location is perfect, the place itself was perfect! His place had literally everything that we needed and don’t even get me started on the views. You get views from the front and the back. We will definitely be staying here the next time we come back to Hawaii 1000%!

Amazing Oceanview New Delux Home with A/C
Very clean and well appointed condo with ocean view. Recreational gear was available. Host provided notebook with pertinent information about the condo and the area. Parking was readily available.

Kaiolohia Hale Haena Walk to Tunnels Beach
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.

Sealodge Romantic, Serene Ocean View Oasis w/ Pool
We had such a wonderful stay at this condo! The view was amazing - we couldn’t believe the beautiful surroundings we got to wake up to every morning! Kitchen was stock, washer and dryer were great and the place was super comfy! We would love to stay again!!

Ocean View Hideaway
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.

Oceanfront Bliss - Luxury on The Bluff
Gorgeous condo, newly and beautifully decorated, simple and clean. Nice books to read. Beach chairs and boogie board. Fabulous ocean views. Epic sunrise from the lanai charges your soul every morning. Hosts were very responsive when needed. We’d definitely choose to come back here. One minor gripe is there is no frying pan. We stayed for 3 weeks and that was the only one thing we would have liked. Highly recommend.

Jewel of the Pacific. Oceanfront Condo at Sealodge
Danielle’s place perfectly matched the pictures and description. Nicely updated interior, clean and modern, completely free of any clutter. It was wonderful waking up to the sunrise over the ocean every morning. A fun little hike to the secluded beach. The community pool was quiet and relaxing with a nice view of the ocean thrown in. All and all a great place and nice locale for all that surrounded the area.

*New* Dreamy island retreat w/AC, Pool, Hot Tub
Great place in the north area of Kauai. Close to Hanalei. Sina’s place was great for my boyfriend and I. We really appreciated the AC in the bedroom and the free laundry in the place. The host was also great at communicating and responding quickly. I would book with Sina again in the future! :)
Your guide to Kilauea
Welcome to Kilauea
The quiet northeastern shore town of Kilauea is resplendent with lush tropical beauty and a rich history spanning generations. Its charm is most evident in its town center, dotted by numerous historic fieldstone buildings that are used today by local businesses. Visitors also come to see the newly restored 52-foot-tall Daniel K. Inouye Kilauea Point Lighthouse, a red-capped beacon standing guard just along the ragged volcanic coastline. Those hoping for adventure will be pleased to know Kilauea offers opportunities for surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, or hiking, whether your skill level rates as a beginner or as a seasoned enthusiast.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kilauea
Warm and wet year-round, Kauai’s reputation as a tropical paradise is on full display in the town of Kilauea. Arguably the best months to book vacation rentals here are during the low season in spring — April through June — when the weather is favorable, crowds are sparser, and airfare discounts are common. If you arrive during the winter, be aware this side of the island receives the brunt of the island’s annual precipitation and brings with it a slight dip in temperatures, especially compared to the more arid southern or western sides of Kauai.Regardless of the time of your visit, prepare for the possibility of sudden, intermittent downpours. Pack a light windbreaker, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, and you’ll be ready for rain or shine.
Top things to do in Kilauea
Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge
It’s impossible to avoid recommending a visit to the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. The gleaming white 1913 lighthouse restored with a 2.5-million candlepower quartz iodine lamp is a sight to behold. Wildlife buffs will be also rewarded here, as several rare and endangered birds and mammals call the refuge home, and green sea turtles and Hawaiian monk seals are regularly spotted popping their heads up offshore.
Na ‘Aina Kai Botanical Gardens and Sculpture Park
If you want a healthy serving of art fortifying your Hawaiian getaway, Na ‘Āina Kai provides numerous bronze sculptures to admire across its 240 acres of carefully landscaped gardens. Alongside formal gardens and horticultural collections, visitors are offered a glimpse of what traditional Hawaiian ahupua’a villages might have looked like generations ago.
Kauapea Beach
Locals call this stretch of sand “Secrets,” likely because this North Shore beach is accessible only by an unmarked steep trail hidden between Kalihiwai Bay and Kilauea Point. Tide pools, waterfalls, and a swimmable lagoon all await below, alongside a level of privacy that has earned Secrets a not-so-secret reputation as somewhere sunbathers seek to enjoy the sun without tanlines.
