Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hawaiian Islands

Had an incredible experience at Joe's Jungle Treehouse. I wanted something quiet, more remote yet not too far out, with a jungle vibe. And this place is just that. I loved it and hope to be back in that hammock again soon! Thanks Joe!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and made check-in a breeze. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch Airbnb experience.

Lucky to grab this location for a few days. Accommodations were great for three parties of folks. Especially great one couple could bring their dog. Unfortunately, we missed the volcano eruptions, which started the day we checked out for home. They seemed to have everything you might need and super cozy, including the reclining couch sections were comfortable enough to sleep in!!

First of all, the area was amazing!! Manini beach was literally a 2-3 minute walk down the road for great snorkeling (gear is provided, if you need it) with a path for some amazing sunsets. There are a couple of fruit stands in the neighborhood, which was great for my mother’s daily banana stroll. You can see the bay from the amazing lanai that we spent so much time on to watch the snorkelers, kayakers and dolphins. The house itself was great! Split into half, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side, separated by an open concept living room and kitchen. The dining room is outside…where else would you want to sit down and eat? There were A/Cs in the bedrooms if you needed them, but the ocean breeze was usually enough for most of my party. There were lots of spices in the cabinets for cooking and some staples leftover from past renters. The long, winding and narrow roads make some great scenery, but also make your trip to anywhere else a bit long. I would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time here at this air bnb. The rooms are clean, comfortable and as described in the listing. The host is incredibly friendly and they've provided everything we need during this trip. In addition, the view from this house is also wonderful.

Had a really great stay here. At first we were worried about the amount of space for 8 people but it fit us nicely! Never felt too cramped. The kitchen was a little small for our amount of “chefs” in the kitchen but we were able to manage. The area is nice, with a lovely path to walk to the stores and restaurants but would definitely recommend having a rental car if you are planning to go to different sides of the island! We ended up driving a lot to get out of the rain and see all of the beaches/ excursions. But overall had a lovely stay!!

Our family loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the set up was perfect for our needs. We especially loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings, and falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs. The location was a further from the ocean than we realized, but we enjoyed the lushness of the hilly terrain and would stay there again. Susan and Iris were very responsive when we reported a few minor appliance issues and it didn't impact our overall experience.

Have stayed here several times in different units. It works well for us. If you find older reviews complaining about the water pump being loud its no longer an issue. It was updated recently.

Great and very convenient location. It was so close to Waikiki Beach and other popular shops and restaurants. All within the walking distance.

Really enjoyed staying here. The hosts were very good at communicating and made it very easy to get a late checkout worked out with them. The place is in a great area with nice pools nearby. The place is a little small but was described that way. I’d recommend staying here. The only negative was the WiFi stopped working after the first night so we weren’t really able to use the TV the last couple night. It was a little frustrating but everything else was wonderful.

The place is as advertised and Peter was a gracious host. It was well stocked with everything I needed for a visit to Hawaii and is in a great walkable location. Check in was a breeze!

We began our 17 day tour of the big island at Dennis (Max) place and ended our island time on his property in a different unit. Both were excellent. 1000 ft elevation so out of the desert heat of Kailua- Kona. 15 minutes from the airport up the mountain in a neighborhood. We appreciated having a kitchen and ability to create a meal there. Bed was comfy and linens were lovely.

I had a great overnight stay at this Airbnb. The check-in process was smooth—easy to find, clear instructions, and the key card pickup was straightforward. The room matched the description perfectly: clean, comfortable, and with a nice view. The host was responsive and helpful throughout. One of the best parts was the building’s security service, which held my luggage for just $5 for 24 hours. That made it really convenient when arriving early and also after checkout, so I could enjoy the day without carrying bags around. Highly recommend! Mahalo Ash!

Nice and comfortable apartment on the ground floor, surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden. A cosy and homy living area, a functional kitchen with lots of appliances, a bedroom with a queen bed, and a standard bathroom. Easy parking and access. Very friendly and attentive hosts. We appreciated the hosts' reception upon our arrival and the food they put in the fridge for our first breakfast (and more).

What a cozy place that is also so close to everything!!!! And Derek is lovely and so responsive! I can’t wait to go and stay again!!!!

Beautiful remodeling and upgrades to classic and quaint apartments - they are wonderful! There are SO MANY "little touches" that really make a difference - from thoughtful amenities (free bikes!) to excellent and helpful communication. The area is quiet and peaceful, and the beach is a short walk away (with pastries & coffee on the way!). Margaret's recommendations on the area were very helpful, and her replies to my questions were quick. We really enjoyed the apartment and the property's surrounding area as well!

Matthew’s place was an absolute dream! Thoughtfully designed and full of charm, with a breathtaking view — truly a hidden gem. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, the bed was super comfortable, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We were a bit worried about not having A/C, but it turned out we didn’t need it — the ocean breeze was perfect. We also loved having access to beach gear and bikes — such a fun bonus! We had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!

The owners were so welcoming and proactive. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. They had some uncontrollable maintenance issue arise that they handled immediately and it did not disrupt our trip at all. The building and amenities were perfect. Our son loved exploring the beach and chasing crabs. Our daughter spent the evenings in the pool after our daytime adventures. We will be back and are so grateful to have experienced this slice of paradise.

Our stay at this condo was wonderful- appreciated the central AC during a warm humid few days in Kona! Great amenities, plenty of beach/snorkeling gear, well-stocked kitchen, and comfy couch and beds. The guest room queen bed was a tad firm, but worked well for one of the couples. The king bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai with a peek ocean view and the occasional rooster noises (bring earplugs if you like to sleep in! This applies to the whole island, tbh). Oh, and the pool area was great too when we needed a break from all the great beaches nearby! Would definitely stay again!

verry nice place and close to beach to watch the sunset👍

It was a good accommodation that I didn't regret choosing Airbnb instead of a real hotel. Everything was prepared without anything really missing, the space was spacious, and the cooking facilities were good, so it was good to eat. If I come to the Big Island next time, it's an accommodation I'd like to visit again!

We were two adults and two kids (ages 10 and 12) who stayed here for a week. Everything was super great! The condo was comfortable and well outfitted, the pool was never too crowded, Wed happy hour at the on-site restaurant was fun, the shave ice directly across the street was incredible, and we loved how easy it was to get to any part of the island from Kapa'a. We didn't spend very much time on the beach directly out from the condo--one day was pretty windy, but we did see some people in the water on another day. Jann was an incredible host--the suggestions were spot on, and she was responsive about getting us beach chairs and an umbrella within a couple hours on our first day when we realized they were missing. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I rarely review stays but Mitchell’s place was top notch. There are lots of Airbnb where you wonder how the host ever lived there. At Mitchell’s, it felt like a home away from home. It was the first place that had fully stocked all the amenities and had thoughtful additions such as: enough towel racks, lots and lots of towels, extension cords everywhere, TV in the bedroom, rice cooker, and more. Plus the place had everything exactly as described: fitness center, pool, BBQs, free parking, private lanai, ocean view, and coin (app) laundry. Wonderful place and great work on keeping it fresh. One minor issue not related to the place but to the season: during our stay in early October was renovation season so there was a ton of construction noise during the day time.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in this spacious, well-furnished and tastefully decorated condo. The three-bedroom set-up was perfect for our family: parents downstairs in the master, and kids upstairs, each with their own room. Morning coffee and breakfasts on the lanai were peaceful. The large island in the kitchen was perfect for prepping family meals. Pool and workout facilities were nice. We appreciated being able to use the beach chairs and boogie boards stored in the garage. Communication with the owner was clear, detailed and timely. Overall, we loved this condo and enjoyed its close proximity to amenities and activities in Poipu and Koloa.
