Jungle Haven at ReKindle Farm
Staying at this off-grid cabin in Pāhoa was an unforgettable experience! The place was peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by lush nature — a true escape from the busy world. We loved exploring the farm, meeting the animals, and enjoying the fresh eggs and farm basket. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, and the cabin had everything we needed for a cozy, sustainable stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature in a truly special setting!

Peaceful Rainforest Treehouse Retreat
This is exactly why AirBnB was invented. This was a once in a lifetime kind of spot and I loved every minute of it! Secluded, beautiful, gives you the feel of being lost in the rainforest with a hot shower and comfy bed! The sounds of nature were better than nay white noise machine invented. Hosts were super helpful and even provided pictures of the gate when I told them id arrive after dark. They think of everything!!

Sweet Upstairs Corner Ocean View Studio on Molokai
I was so happy to return. I love the location, having coffee in the morning on the balcony listening to the bird song, the quality of the cooking pans, easy to find extra blankets, and many other details. I look forwrd to returning there soon. PS The gift shop has a freezer full of food options if you arrive on a Sunday afternoon.

Modern Upcountry Home with Mauna Kea Views
Wonderful place for our several days there. Fantastic view and very spacious. Several restaurants were in town. Waimea had few tourists but still was close to several small out-of-the-way towns we otherwise would not have thought of to visit.

Tiny Tropical Tree House in Volcano Rain Forest, Hot Tub
Our stay at the tiny home was perfect! It’s a great location close to Volcano and Hilo! Staying in the house really felt like our own private oasis. We absolutely would stay again

Weak Treehouse
For this unique and potentially once in a lifetime experience, the Mahina Treehouse is truly incredible. Photos don’t do the beauty justice. It’s amazing to be just outside of downtown Honolulu but feel so far away at the same time. The birds chirping, the view, the peacefulness was all stunning. The thoughtfulness to every detail shined through. We have zero complaints around our stay. It was a gem of a find to spend our 17 year anniversary for a couple of nights. Highly, highly recommend!!

Kehena Beach Loft
This Airbnb is an experience in itself. After 20 hours of travel to get here, we were met by Howard. He was warm, welcoming and congratulated us on getting married. During the course of our stay, Howard checked in to offer AMAZING advice and recommendations on where to go, and made sure we had all the things we needed. He lent us beach chairs to hit the black sand beach down the street (literally walking distance), high quality snorkeling equipment, and even set us up with a cooler/ice for our venture to the other side of the island. Howard was kind enough to invite us to a local community event down the street (ft. fire dancing, food, drinks and live music!) Uncle Robert’s on Wednesday, and a friend’s cocktail party on Friday. The experiences we had were so much more than a tourists typical trip. We felt immersed in the community and everyone was SO KIND and welcoming. This is 1000% worth it, our trip was more amazing than I ever could have imagined!! Thank you Howard! -Elizabeth

The Farm Cottage -At Olamana Organics
Monyca and Ola were very hospitable and had an incredible cottage on the farm. The fruit basket sourced from their land was superb. It was fun getting to tour the farm for a bit and chatting with Ola. Strongly recommend this place, would come back next time we’re in Hana.

Kai Malolo - Amazing Eco-friendly Oceanfront Home!
The view alone is worth the price! Everything was so lush and beautiful! We felt like we were in our very own private resort. We enjoyed the spacious house itself and the outdoor area. The pool was great and the beds were super comfortable! This was a great base to explore the entire Big Island of Hawaii! I would recommend this home to anyone! Just book it already!

Private Luxurious Cottage
This condo is a perfect fit for visiting the whole island of Kauai. It also has beachfront access to an amazing view and lots of restaurants nearby. I highly recommend it and would recommend it to friends and family Thank you so much for your hospitality. we enjoyed ourselves immensely

Puna Rainforest Retreat Hotspring Rainbow Cottage
This location is beyond beautiful. The Rainbow Cottage is gorgeous and we loved having a long leisurely breakfast on the back deck, and of course, an evening cocktail. The soaking tubs are great and visited them every evening during out stay. The location is actually convenient for being out in the country and we were able to easily see the volcano and go over to Hilo for a day. There's a local hangout nearby that we visited for night of tasty eats and live music. Wow, wow, wow. Hope to visit again.

Sugarbush Nest
We loved the island and this home. We will stay here again. It's close to beautiful beaches. Less than an hour to Kona if needed. Patio has everything for the a day at the beach and snorkeling!!

Ohia Hideaway Bed & Breakfast
Absolutely loved this stay—hands down one of my favorite Airbnbs ever! The space was incredibly clean, super cute, and had such a peaceful, private, and tranquil atmosphere. It was the perfect little getaway spot. The breakfast was such a thoughtful and delicious touch. I couldn’t recommend it more—highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Sweet Lava Retreat w/ Epic Ocean & Volcano Views
The place is magical. I totally recomand the place. the view is incredible and the house is really cute, clean and peaceful. If you want a really special experience, you need to book this place.

Secluded Kehena Beach Penthouse w/ Rooftop Deck
My wife and I spent four nights in the penthouse unit of Jenn and Kristian’s beautiful home. We loved our time there. The unit was in good condition and comfortably furnished and the private rooftop terrace was perfect for early morning stargazing.

Hale Ohai: Modern Elegance in the Jungle
We loved the space, everything was as advertised, the home was even better in person. Clean, well supplied with everything we need to make our meals. The outdoor showers were so nice after a long day of sightseeing. Thank you Jessica for making our stay enjoyable.
Apartments in Hawaii

Hale's Hale
We had a wonderful stay at Hale's Hale. The place was very up-to-date, very clean and stocked to the max. We had a cooler, boogie board, beach chairs, umbrella and everything else you can think of both for the beach and for the house provided for us. I was so upset with myself when I arrived , as I forgot to pack my toothbrush. Lo and behold, there was a brand new toothbrush in the bathroom drawer. Jon and Marileigh are super friendly and accommodating. I can't say enough good things about them and the stay. If I had a complaint it would be about the sofa couch. It was very uncomfortable. HOWEVER... there was a great air mattress in the closet. I felt like I had my own Sleep Number bed for my stay! It was great! My mother and daughter slept in the bed. They found it very comfortable. If you are looking for somewhere nice and comfortable, you can't beat the price. Come stay at Hale's Hale!! You WON'T be disappointed!

Ocean Front With Ocean View! AC, King Bed, 2 Bath!
A fantastic apartment! Very quiet area of Kihei away from the crowds. Beautiful views of the beach and sea, however, would recommend checking the other beaches out in the south.

Indoor-Outdoor living for three
What a lovely place! Probably as close to paradise as you can get on this planet. Lush gardens with an abundance of flowers and plants, a huge mango tree and bananas almost falling into your mouth :-) A place where you can find inner (and outer) peace. Very well equipped appartment. Katerina has been such a lovely, caring and funny host! And Darin was always quick to answer any of our inquiries. The place is conveniently located for visiting Waipi‘o valley and the tour operator you need to visit it is just down the road at a nice arty Café. We‘ll be back for sure!

Mango leaf paradise studio, A/C
We had a great stay at Olga's place. The room was confortable and it was perfect for few days. The neighborhood was very quiet and close to restaurants/beach.

Private Oasis with FIVE STAR Service and Amenities
This was an amazing place. I wish we had stayed here longer. The space is immaculate, spacious, inviting, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful! Joyce was an incredible host who went above and beyond. Very close to town (beaches, restaurants, and tours). It’s in a suburban neighborhood, but feels remote and is very quiet and private. We will definitely stay here when we return to Hilo!

Hale I’0
We had an amazing stay! The apartment was so spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved watching the horses from the lanai and having Buddy the dog greet us everyday when we arrived back. We felt like we had the best spot on the island to watch the sunset. The sounds of the coqui frogs at sunset was absolutely amazing and so relaxing to fall asleep to. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped for self catering and it was really helpful having some things in the cupboards like spices, oil, syrup, etc. We were so sorry when it was time for us to leave!

Cozy Studio - Cool elevation with Full Kitchen
Loved staying here! Its a really beautiful space and Miho was very responsive and friendly. The area is beautiful and has so much to do. We would definitely stay here again!

Nine Thousand Waves
Absolutely loved our stay at Take’s place in Honolulu! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless—check-in was easy, the space was spotless, and the location couldn’t have been better. Take was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. The home had a relaxing vibe, perfect after a day of exploring Oahu. Whether it was the cozy interior, fast Wi-Fi, or the beautiful view from the balcony, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. This was easily one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. Mahalo, Take—we’ll definitely be back!
Your guide to Hawaii
Welcome to Hawaii
What we see as the eight islands of the Hawaiian archipelago are in reality the visible peaks of a sprawling oceanic mountain range that first erupted into existence more than 65 million years ago. Today the resulting tropical landscapes outlined by some of the world’s most breathtaking beaches host millions of visitors seeking warm weather, brightly colored sunsets, crystal-clear waters, and maybe even the occasional whale or sea turtle sighting against the backdrop of paradise.
But what makes Hawaii particularly special is the opportunity to discover your favorite island specific to your interests. Island hopping is easy and reasonably affordable, so whether you prefer the cosmopolitan luxuries of Honolulu, the laid-back vibes of Maui, the rugged landscape of the Big Island, or the breathtaking biodiversity of Kauai, there’s an opportunity to mix and match should you want to wander.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Hawaii
A year-around temperate tropical climate buffered from trade winds means almost any time is a good time to stay in one of the many scenic vacation rentals on the Hawaiian islands. That said, each island hosts a multitude of microclimates and localized weather specific to its unique geography. This means it’s possible to experience all four seasons in one day, especially across the biggest island of Hawai’i, where 11 out of 13 climate zones can deliver both sunburns and frostbite if you’re ill prepared. The windward (north and east) sides of islands tend to be wetter, while coastal regions along the south and west sides can be so dry that cacti can be spotted growing along hillsides. Pack layers in preparation for a surprise rain shower or a chilly welcome at the top of a volcano. And be sure to bring high-strength sunscreen, as it’s easy to burn under a tropic sun.
Top things to do in Hawaii
The Road to Hana (Maui)
Traveling Maui’s 64.4-mile stretch of winding coastal cliff-hugging highway and one-way bridges can admittedly be a white-knuckled experience, but the journey rewards with unforgettable sights along the way: waterfalls emptying into emerald pools, empty stretches of beaches, and black sand beaches where local kids build sandcastles. Most visitors turn back after reaching the sleepy town of Hana, but those who continue to complete the loop will take in a surreal and sometimes barren landscape shaped by volcanic forces still slumbering underneath.
Alakai Swamp Trail (Kauai)
Walking through the world's highest rainforest can be both disorienting and magical. The boardwalk trail is often blanketed by a swirling layer of fog, slowing your pace to a shuffle. But this is all to hikers’ benefit, provoking visitors to stop, listen, and look around more carefully than if the path was easier. Unusual accumulations of moss and fruiting mushrooms can be found all along the way, with rare endemic birds often heard but rarely seen, masked by the dense vegetation. The hike ends at Kilohana Lookout, where on a clear day you’ll look out onto the depths of Wainiha Valley all the way out to Hanalei.
Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (Hawaii)
For most of us, walking upon an active volcano crater might be the closest we’ll get to visiting another planet. And indeed, the landscape of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park frames an otherworldly geological scar — a hot, steaming, hissing wound stinking of sulfur dioxide gas. For those hesitant to get that up close and personal, the 11-mile route known as the Crater Rim Drive allows you to take in the view safely from your car, or at various lookouts or observation decks from a distance.
