Kid-friendly holiday 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.

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

Great location to keep the family together. Close to great beaches. Private location that felt safe. Host communicated great as well and helped with any issues that came up.

Loved Lindsay’s little cozy spot near the beach! It was great for my family of 5!(all young kids I should say) walking distance to some amazing food trucks and beach views! We will definitely stay there again over a busy hotel :) Very responsive and timely ! Clean! Stocked with everything we needed! And the WiFi was faster than our previous hotels which my working husband was thankful for!

In one word, AMAZING!!! Everything was exceptional, the only negative thing I can say is that now I have to buy a new bed at home because the bed at this place was incredible. The home was exactly as advertised, the views of the ocean were sensational. There were even extras for the beach such as coolers, snorkels, umbrellas, boogie boards and much more. Friendly and responsive hosts were there for us, even before we needed them. As long as you know where you are staying and are prepared for the drive, this place is a premium slice of heaven in heaven. Thank you for being part of our adventure.

Alex was very responsive when I needed help with some things. Taught me a trick with the shower. Reading their rule binder gave me a warm welcome vibe. I recommend if you’re staying around for a quick getaway.

Perfect place for a family. Beach access is right there! And great views. The pool was also excellentl! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to book again.

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.

Nice neighborhood close, but not too close, to beaches and parks. Many families in the area and has more of a local feel than further north. Young kids upstairs full of energy but quiet by bedtime.

First off it was the best location for all the history of Hawaii Royal family, literally around the corner from the Palace and Mission Houses. Everything was as listed and as scene in pictures of unit. I really enjoyed the beach chairs provided;as we drove to beaches and sat on the ocean. We enjoyed the big windows all surrounding the unit and all the extra amenities for our two week stay. Free parking is a big plus in Honolulu, as some places are $45 to $65 a day. So this unit is a bargain. Some complained about the parking being on floor 10 and the unit no it on floor 4. But it is no trouble as there are lots of elevators to access no stairs required. If you need /have groceries (Safeway right down Bishop St) . Chinatown right 2 blocks over. The pool was clean and big, the sauna was clean and hot. I have no complaints. And yes I highly recommend, this unit if you are working in Honolulu or just wanting a bargain unit.

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!

Nicole’s condo was in the perfect location! Close to the Ritz Carleton Resort at Turtle Bay Beach. Beautiful area. Awesome restaurants in the area! We loved Beach House and LeiLei’s restaurants. The food was outstanding at both. The condo was super clean and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy!! A little noise from upstairs tenants during the day but perfectly quiet at night. Beach chairs, floaty, umbrella & beach towels were provided. Turtle Bay Beach has public access & the Large Beach Umbrellas & lounge chairs are available to rent from Ritz Carlton. They have a service hut near the public entrance. Nicole was so communicative in detailing the house rules and how to get into her place. We had a great time!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeanine’s place. We were visiting for our daughter’s wedding, and the apartment was perfect in terms of amenities and location. The fact that it was so close to Turtle Bay resort was also helpful as much of the wedding party was there.

We absolutely loved it here and staying in this beautiful part of the island. The beach really is just steps away from your bed and is really great for snorkeling. The apartment is very beautifully decorated and has everything you need, the kitchen is well equipped. It is ideal for a party of two or three. Jona was very friendly and answered quickly always. We definitely recommend this place,

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

Jordan’s place was terrific , spotless and clean , great air con and was stocked with all we needed ,including beach towels and beach gear to use . Has a great time there and wouldn’t hesitate to return again next chance we get

It was a great place to stay. It was quiet and near everything on the North Shore. It was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless and well stocked with towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and everything you’d need to cook. Great location for exploring the north shore. We were two couples and the set up was perfect for us, with plenty of space and two bathrooms. Thank you!

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!
