Waterfront holiday rentals in Hawaiian Islands

The apartment was beautiful! The view was exactly as the photo depicted. The place was organized, clean, and was supplied with almost everything and anything we needed. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

This place was brilliant! I was on vacation in Princeville w/ mom and dad, and this place was exactly what we needed. It was a <10 minute drive from Hanali bay, restaurants, beaches, Hāʻena park shuttle stop. The AirBnB had a nice kitchen w/ enough cooking material to make dinner/breakfast and save a few bucks while visiting the island. We had a nice view of the ocean, and a few hidden trails near our place. Parking was hella easy. I'm def returning to the island, and if the lord be blessed, this AirBnB will be available for booking. :) Shout out to Brooke for communicating recs to us, for being so responsive, and kind throughout our trip.

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.

Our stay in Kihei was great! Anke’s place was very cute and comfortable with a perfect view from the lanai. All communication was professional and reliable 💕

Amazing place, location, and host! Enjoyed my stay, was close to everything and walking distance from the beach

Great clean place with a very nice view of the ocean from the bed. The place was in a great location with tons to do all around. The door code was super nice because we didn’t need to worry about losing a key or anything. The room comes with everything you need and even more. Was very pleased and had a wonderful time in Maui :)

Shaun was a super friendly and proactive host. His place had everything we needed to entertain and care for our little one on her first big trip, which made life easy for mom and dad. We love the Kiahuna Plantation and highly recommend units like Shaun's on the backside of the property for privacy and peace, while still having easy access to all of the amenities. We look forward to our next trip!

The condo was even better than what the pictures showed. Very generously supplied with more than just basic essentials. Loved the Keto that very much follows our lifestyle. The beds are extremely comfortable.

Great location and unit had all the necessities for the stay. There were also some nice touches by the owners with snacks and coffee for our stay. Just need to take note that there was no air-conditioning and the weather was hot, especially in the day.

We booked The Whale House for our Big Island stay. Only four of us were there - 3 kids and an adult - but this house could easily hold several more. We used the 2 bedrooms on the main floor and one of the bedrooms on the lower floor. Each bedroom comes with its own bathroom, which felt like such a luxury coming from city living. My daughter loved the decor. She enjoyed that each room had its own theme. We were in the dolphin room. The kitchen is very well stocked. The garage has beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, coolers, and other beach supplies that came in handy as we explored. The backyard was so lovely. We enjoyed exploring the different flowers and plants. The view of the ocean is unmatched. The sunrise and moonrise were both visible and stunning. We were so lucky to find the Whale House.

Pali Hale was pure magic. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking ocean views, the energy of the waves made for a serene, unforgettable stay. The home was spotless, with fresh sea breezes and subtle Hawaiian scents setting the perfect tone. Reading and meditating on the patios was a dream, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, providing great local guides. Thoughtful touches like music on arrival made it even more special. An ideal retreat for family—truly unforgettable!

This home was absolutely beautiful. It was clean and comfortable and the AC did not disappoint. It was fully stocked with everything we needed and more! Nice neighborhood close to beaches, shopping and restaurants. The only downfall (which is no fault of the house or host) is that the next door neighbor was constantly watching us in the yard and did NOT like when the kids ball rolled into his yard. Oops! Other than that, it was perfect. We would definitely stay here again…minus the ball.

This place was beautiful!! The ocean was literally right outside of the house. There was snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and pool noodles provided. It felt really welcoming being here. Regina was quickly responsive to any of my questions or comments as well. Make sure to pack WATER SHOES, the oceans are rock filled. Do not miss visiting 2step beach, which is only about 10 minutes from the house. The house was very comfortable for myself and family. Thank you so much for hosting us Regina, if we come back to Kona we will definitely be looking to stay at your home again! :)

Beautiful home, the waves put me to sleep every night as well is the comfortable mattress. Kids enjoyed playing Pac-Man and watching the Nena from the back deck. Coffee and the sunrises were the best. Thanks a lot!

Tarek was awesome. Super responsive and very kind. 10/10 recommend his place to stay at when visiting Big Island. House was packed with much needed living amenities (paper towels, board games, laundry facilities). Loved the living conditions I got the chance to stay in!

We had a lovely stay at Mary’s place. The home is nestled in a lush, serene setting and was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Mary and her property manager were responsive, helpful, and accommodating. We loved relaxing by the pool and taking evening walks to catch the sunset over the ocean at the nearby park. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, and we loved the open-air layout—it felt like a home away from home. Waking up to the sight and sounds of the ocean from the upstairs bedroom is something we’ll miss. Thank you, Mary, for graciously sharing your beautiful space with us! The memories our family made at this home are something we'll always hold dearly.

Amazing view of the ocean. Nice beach and beach gear for kids.

From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. Melissa was a perfect host and gave great recommendations from food and groceries, to the best places to snorkel and find adventure steps from the condo. Accommodations were exactly as described, and the beds were so comfortable. We loved the decor, and it was so clean and organized. The a/c and ceiling fans kept us cool and comfortable. Relaxation was a top priority, and our stay was so peaceful with plenty of space for our family to spread out, and yet cozy enough to gather and just be together! The pools were great, and the bbq areas were clean with excellent prep space to dine al fresco. Restaurants were within walking distance after long adventure days. The kitchen was well-stocked with thoughtful cooking supplies and a large fridge. We were able fill our water bottles with filtered water from the fridge - so nice! Loved the chairs, umbrella, and the wagon for our days at the beach. We are looking forward to our next stay!

This place at Mahana is seriously the best place to stay if you want to enjoy the tranquility of Maui and the insanely beautiful ocean views and the blue water. Prakash was really proactive in sharing instructions, in informing us about activities in the building etc. The place was clean, the furnishings were perfect, aptly sufficient without making the place cluttered. Would definitely go back the next time we visit Maui.

We cannot say enough good things about staying here. We have been to Maui many times over the years, and this was by far the best condo we have stayed in. First off, the view was amazing. Every morning we would drink our coffee on the lanai and watch the outrigger canoes practicing. Evenings we would take long walks on the beach right from our condo. Location is centrally located to everything. Walk down the beach a little ways and you would find an ABC store, produce stand, bakery and shaved ice. There is also a deli downstairs. The condo was very clean and stocked with absolutely everything you would ever need, including laundry detergent, shampoo, phone chargers, etc. Anything you forgot to pack, they had. We will definitely be renting this condo again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

place was beautiful! spacious and very well kept. location was great just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the strip down the road. host was responsive and helpful!

What a beautiful space! Janice was a wonderful host, you can really tell she loves this little piece of paradise. The ocean views are stunning, and the sea breeze is just perfect. You honestly don’t need the AC (and I’m menopausal) Janice provides great instructions on how to make the most of the breeze, and it’s far better than using air conditioning. The location is ideal — as the last unit on the floor, no one walks past, so you can comfortably enjoy having the doors open (there’s a secure screen door for peace of mind). Regarding the sandbags: they’re along the entire strip, and after staying here, I feel a previous reviewer was unfair. It’s clearly not something Janice can control, and the incredible ocean view far outweighs the sight of sandbags. The bed was also really comfortable, a big plus for me, as I have bad hips. Oh and turtles we saw every day!!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better spot! The view and time spent on the back patio will be a lifelong memory of ours. The beach gear that was available was super clutch for our days at the beach and a very nice added touch as we didn’t think about that initially. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Ineke’s place was great! It was very clean and well maintained when I arrived. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. She also stocked the place with plenty of beach gear and some basic household supplies which made it super easy and convenient for us! Ineke was also very responsive and easy to reach. The location is amazing as well! There is a market right across the street (great for walking to get coffee/breakfast in the morning) and it’s a short drive into downtown. Highly would recommend!
