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%!

Modern Sealodge 2BD 2BA Ocean View Walk to Beach
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.

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.

Kalapaki at Its Best - Private 2 Bedroom Condo
My grandma and I had such a great time here !!

Oceanfront at Pono Kai!
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean and tidy. The ocean view was amazing with the sunrise. The balcony was a great place to enjoy the view and people watch.

Jewel of the Pacific. Oceanfront Condo at Sealodge
Fantastic spot in Princeville. Can’t beat the views. Spent a lot of time on the balcony - starting and ending our days there. Enjoyed the pool as well. Would rent here again.

Lagoon View Resort Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay and all of the amenities the resort had to offer. It was very quiet, felt very private and safe. Jen was a great host, very responsive and so welcoming to our family. The lagoon view resort retreat was great checked all of the boxes for our family of three. It was centrally located to everything on the east side of the island. We fell in love with Kaua’i and will be back. We highly recommended staying at Jen’s place.

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!

Stunning Oceanfront home, 4Bed/2B, Sleeps 8, A/C
Rohit’s home was wonderful for our group of 8! We loved being on the ocean! You couldn’t necessarily swim much right there but the view was spectacular! And in Kapaa there is a lot to do and you are close to getting anything you need. There were so many things in the home for a beach day that we really didn’t need to bring as much as we did. The kitchen had a lot of items already on there that were really useful. We had a small little leak on the dishwasher that we notified him about to just make him aware and he had someone there in 45 minutes to fix it and we did not expect anyone to come out for something so minor so quickly. Hot water supply was great even with 8 people showering. I did have an issue with AirBnB and not Rohit himself, but he was quite helpful trying to help get the problem resolved. Would definitely recommend staying in this home that is centrally located on the island.

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
We have stayed at many different properties of Susanne’s over the years, and this was one of our favorite places to stay. Exactly as depicted in the ad. Super clean and super convenient. We can’t wait to come back to Kauai and stay in one of Susanne’s properties in the future.

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

koolkondo 3203 Makahuena Ocean Front
Overall we had a wonderful stay at Rico and Cinzia's place. Everything was clean and you are right up against rocks with water crashing against them. You can see turtles swimming and even spinner dolphin's one day. It is within walking distance to Poipu beach where you can rent snorkels, boogie boards and surf boards. Also, within walking or driving distance to The Grand Hyatt that has wonderful restaurants or Shipwreck Beach that is a great beach and has an easy explorative walk/hike. If I had one critique it would be for stocking the house a bit more with simple things like pens, games, parchment paper or storage bags.

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!

Taro Suite at Walelia Getaway
James and Sara’s place exceeded our expectations. Incredible location in Poipu, a beautiful “studio” suite with all the amenities you want including a private pool and efficiency kitchen, very responsive hosts, and a truly great value considering this area is in high demand. I would stay again, and I highly recommend these excellent accommodations!

Islander studio #240 - breathtaking ocean views!
Veronica’s condo was exactly what we needed to enjoy our Honeymoon in Kauai! The location was our favorite aspect, you could get to each side of the island within an hour and we did so many activities that the location was perfect. The condo itself is exactly as described and the pool and grounds are beautiful. The sunrises from the beach right out front are gorgeous and we really enjoyed all the chickens running around. We would absolutely stay with Veronica again in Kauai.

2 BEDROOM, OCEAN FRONT, AMAZING VIEWS !
highly recommend this place- beautiful setting right on the beach, third floor with elevator-beautiful sunrises, just downstairs is beach to walk along. It is convenient to airport, and you can easily drive to other areas on the island. Kitchen and condo has basic household supplies like some kitchen staples, laundry soap. Michael responds almost immediately to questions and follows up on things as needed.

Kauai Getaway Condo
We had a great time here! It was our first time on the island and the Airbnb was in a great location to go all over -- Waimea canyon, Port Allen, Ha'ena state park, etc. The parking spot was easy to find too. Safeway was conveniently across the street to get groceries and the beach was nice to view the sunrise from. We did hikes daily and the in unit laundry was extremely useful and A/C highly appreciated. The kitchen was nice and spacious and perfect for making breakfast. The hosts thought of basically everything, including a new dishwashing sponge! We only had to pick up paper towels from the store. The hosts were also flexible with check in and checkout times which worked well with our flight times. Overall the Airbnb was well stocked, well located, and the hosts were helpful and responsive. We would happily stay here again!

The Hideaway - Pali Ke Kua Ocean Views (with AC!)
We LOVED this little place. By far, this was our favorite Airbnb we have ever stayed at! The space was clean, spacious, and decorated so cute! Loved the bathroom counter space and large shower too. Our favorite was watching the sunset from the patio every single night; we made sure to be back every night because of the view! AMAZING! Also truly appreciated the beach gear (chairs, toys, umbrella, boogie boards, etc.) that saved us money from renting. Loved the hose on the back porch to spray everything off. The closet was also fully stocked with so many amenities including 2 cooler packs that we used daily. We absolutely will be back! Loved every second!

Beachfront Bliss! Your Hawaiian dream awaits!
This location is central to everything on the island. The beach by the air bnb is perfect for watching the sunrise or swimming. Would definitely stay at this location again!

Oceanfront Ground Floor Steps To The Beach {A/C}
Sara's place was unbelievably breathtaking. The location was perfect to get around to all the local eateries. The views of the sunset were breathtaking. I cannot wait to plan another trip and will definietely be booking this place again.

Oceanfront Studio #147, Islander on the Beach
Lyndsy’s place was perfect. Local shops and restaurants. Pool and spa were perfect. And just a quick step outside to the beach. I would recommend this place to anyone.

*RENOVATED 10/21!* Corner Oceanview Condo w/ AC!!
We really enjoyed our stay. The view and lanai are spectacular. So relaxing and such a nice place to call home for the time that we were here. The kitchen is well equipped for those that want to cook. The most we made was a charcuterie lol. We really enjoy having so much within walking distance. Java Kai is the best bet each morning. Such a great staff and everything is delicious. Kapaa is such a great place to stay because it’s so centrally located. If it’s raining in Kapaa, go to Poipu or Hanalei. Our absolute favorite is Hanalei Bay and Tahiti Nui. Another great time is the Rum Safari. No matter where you go you will have a great time.
