Modern Ocean Views with AC
When we return to Kauai, our trip will be based around when we can book C5, as we felt everything was amazing and perfect for our liking. Thank you Greg!!

Modern Sealodge 2BD 2BA Ocean View Walk to Beach
Brooke was attentive and responsive. The place was perfect. Mahalo

1BR Oceanfront | Lanai | Washer/dryer | Ocean View
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.

Seaside Serenity in Hawaii
We had a lovely stay at Jim’s place. The condo had everything we needed and all that you’d need to have a great beach day (snorkels, umbrella, chairs, towels, etc). Easy check in and free parking. The facility across the road for a pool, outdoor gym, etc., was a nice touch and something we enjoyed utilizing. 10 min walk to the beach and a cute area for dinner, we recommend Keoki’s paradise for drinks. A 5 minute walk to a great breakfast cafe, little fish. Overall we would absolutely stay here again.

Oceanfront at Pono Kai!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Pono Kai. The lanai faced directly out over the ocean. We were able to watch the sunrise every morning. The beach was very private and not that many people. Beautiful sand and the waves were very calm. There were also a lot of shops within walking distance of our unit. Also, the long walking path was right outside the condo so we were able to go for nice walks every morning.

Aloha Kai: Oceanfront @ Lae Nani's Newest Reno, AC
Our stay at Jon's condo was AMAZING!!!!!! The entire property is so beautiful and so well maintained. The amount of flowers are so beautiful! The condo is perfect from the minute you walk in! The view out the slider of the beautiful grass area that flows right on to the beach and ocean was spectacular!! There's absolutely everything you need in the condo and it is beautiful. We felt right at home the minute we walked in! In less than a 5 minute walk there's the Lava Lava Beach Club for dining and cocktails on the beach. They have live music in the evening which we really enjoyed. Also the Coconut Marketplace is just another few minutes past Lava Lava. There's restaurants and shops were great. Whatever you do you Must have a Shave Ice at JoJo's! The best! We would certainly stay there again and are looking forward to a return visit!! Mahalo Jon and Sabrina!!

New Remodeled Kuaui Escape! 1/1 with WiFi, AC
We had such a great time here! The location in Kapa’a is perfect—right in the middle of the island, so it was easy to explore both the north and south shores and Waimea Canyon. The nearby Coconut Marketplace is convenient, and I recommend the Tuesday and Thursday farmers market in the parking lot. We grabbed local produce, bread, and butter mochi, and the kitchen was just the right size for making fresh meals. The place was clean, nicely updated and cozy and comfortable home base. We slept well. Allen was super friendly and responsive leading up to our trip, and even gave us a quick call to make sure everything was going well. We also appreciated having beach chairs, a cooler, umbrella, and even a cart—it made beach days super easy. As a younger couple, we loved the slower pace and small-town feel of Kauai after being in Honolulu for a wedding. Nothing felt too far away, and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a cozy and convenient spot. We would book again!

Oceanfront, Million Dollar View, Fully Renovated
Provided a clean picture with amazing view. Great communication. Had all the beach gear you could need for a great beach day (umbrella, towels, snorkeling gear, chairs, cooler, and more). Also, the hiking poles were amazing to have for those long hikes. AC unit in bedroom kept it nice and cold for a great night’s rest. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for an Airbnb on Kauai.
Waterfront house rentals

Kimsey Beach House TVNC#5010 TA#060-903-8336-01
Hands down our best Airbnb experience ever, the house is better than the photos, was clean, comfortable and right on a beach with a wonderfully well kept and large yard. It was a pleasure to come back to it each day after exploring the island. That said, what made the trip exceptional was the host, Kendall was a pleasure to interact with, always responsive and super helpful regarding the house and the area, made several recommendations and even called local resources to confirm that certain parks were open or closed during our stay. We can highly recommend staying here, no regrets.

Hula Hideaway, Kaua'i
Perfect condo for an island getaway. The condo matched the pictures and was relaxing and comfortable. Perfect place to come back to after a long day of beach adventures. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Detached Ohana
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!!

Your own private oceanview Cottage 16 C
It’s a clean and spacious for 4 adults, and a nice location- walking distance to the beach. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances for what we need. Also plenty of beach towels and beach chairs, inflatable tubes. My daughter loved sleeping with the sound of beach waves. Susanne responded to my questions quickly and kindly.

Modern Home with Hot Tub, AC & Ocean Views!
Another great stay in Koloa! This home never disappoints. It’s such a great set-up for a family, has the most amazing views, and it’s such a great spot to get around the island.

Princeville @ Hanalei - Luxury Home Sleeps 12
The house was great for a group! Check-in/out was keyless but couldn’t do either early or late. Didn’t hear from Jake during our stay

Hale Ohana TVNC#5011 TA#100-928-3072-01
What a pleasure it was to stay at Kendall's! The home was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed from baking dishes, herbs to beach chairs and a cooler. The home was beautifully decorated and having two separate floors for our party of 5 was really wonderful. We really enjoyed having every meal out on the lanai. Having such close access to the beach, Waimea Canyon and more was really fantastic! The cherry-on-top was Kendall's dog Piper, who adopted my family for the week. Both Kendall and Joel were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My parents are already talking about wanting to come back to their home! I couldn't this place recommend more!

Oceanfront Beach Cottage: Hawaii at it's best!
The host was very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly, which we really appreciated. We booked last minute, and while the property wasn’t ready upon arrival, the host promptly sent a cleaner to take care of it. Once everything was taken care of, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The view is absolutely wonderful, and despite the initial hiccup, we would definitely book this place again!

Brand New Luxurious Condo on North Shore Kauai
Absolutely perfect! It’s a double condo with tons of space and a double lanai with beautiful views. Truly our best air bnb stay yet. Princeville is gorgeous and the Hanalei Bay Resort has great amenities, two good restaurants, two pools access to the beach and a beach bar. Spectacular!

Breathtaking Waipouli Beach Resort
Our stay at Mike and Amber's place was perfect! It was a central location where it was easy to go to the north and south parts of the island by car. We were steps from a grocery store, shaved ice, sushi, and ice cream! The rental was beautiful and had everything we needed and more! The bed was comfortable, everything was very clean, the gym on the resort was great, the pool was awesome... the list goes on! Mike and Amber were extremely responsive and accommodating.

Picture Perfect Oceanside Two Bedroom Condo
My family really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was great to have breakfast while watching the sun rise over the ocean from the unit! Everything was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The shower was divine after a day of kayaking, and having a washer/dryer in the unit was very convenient. The location made it easy to pick up food from the grocery store and nearby restaurants to enjoy outside while listening to the waves. This was an ideal place to stay on the east side of the island. We are so glad we stayed here!

🥥Oceanfront in beautiful Coconut Coast#paradise🌞
Cindy’s condo was perfect for our week on Kauai. Excellent location and well-appointed vacation home. We had ample kitchen supplies (pots, pans, spices, and food storage). We were even welcomed with Hawaiian cookies, candy and coffee (thank you!). Plenty of beach accessories (functioning beach chairs and umbrella were most appreciated). Hosts have thought of everything! We felt right at home. Highly recommend.

Ocean FRONT Hotel Room @Marriott Vacation Club
Place is exactly as shown in the pictures. Briana was responsive and accommodated our requests as well. Highly recommended

Islander Studio Gem Beachfront 2 Full Beds w/AC
A friend and I had a couple days to visit Kauai and found Vicki’s place available. It is perfectly located at the beach, behind the Coconut Marketplace, walkable to Kapa’a and its other shops. We had a great time and would return to Vicki’s place again if the opportunity arises.

Lae Nani 514 Only a few steps to the Beach!
We loved our two weeks at the Lae Nani. The view from the patio is even more beautiful than the pictures. We also enjoyed walk along ocean to shopping area. Many nights we brought takeout back to the condo so we could have a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean view as sun went down.

Heavenly Place Oceanfront 1 Bedroom Condo
Very nice, quiet location, close to everything, yet private. Well-equipped unit with everything, including beach and snorkeling gear. Very responsive hosts providing ample instructions, we haven't had any extra questions, everything was clearly explained. Will definitely come again recommend to friends.
