Vacation rentals with a kayak in Hawaii

Thank you Jay for sharing your beautiful space. Look forward to visiting again!

Everything exceeded our expectations! Booking, checking in and checking out was so easy and simple! The house is gorgeous, big, spacious and so cozy and prepped with all that you could need! A break from the hustle and bustle of O’ahu was exactly what we needed. My family sure enjoyed the house to the fullest! My kids used the party lights every night, the girls got to enjoy the backyard, everyone exercised in the gym, the neighborhood was perfect for a brisk family walk and the 6 of us had so much room to occupy! The big kitchen was wonderful for our lovely family meals and the kids even had lots of space to build a big, cute fort by the front door! The luxury bathroom was fantastic and being able to use the laundry room was just great! Mahalo nui loa again Tony! Stellar job with this airbnb and we hope to come back again soon!

Chris is an amazing host and is very clear in his communication. House was exactly as described. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchen was stuffed with a lot of condiments and a lot of attention to details. Yard had many fruit bearing trees. A quick drive to nice beaches, restaurants, grocery stores etc. All in all we were very satisfied.

We stayed at Peter and Lori’s for the last few days of our honeymoon and were blown away! The pictures don’t do the property justice at all. Between the waterfront access (with kayaks and paddle boards provided), the spacious living area/stocked kitchen, and even Peter letting us have fresh fruits from their trees, we couldn’t have had a better experience!!! Peter was there to help us when needed, but also let us explore how we wanted. We also loved utilizing the Manta Ray/snorkeling experiences that he recommended just a walk down the street in the same bay. We didn’t want to leave and cannot wait to come back! Thanks again, Peter and Lori!

Susan's place in Kea'au is beautiful, convenient to Hilo and Volcano National Park, yet right on the ocean. Surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean make this a great place to get away from the city.

Fabulous stay! Beautiful location—remote, private and away from the hustle and bustle, yet still close to different areas to explore. House is beautiful, hot tub was great after a long day, game room was fantastic for our kiddos. The stars were amazing at night and the beach was close and beautiful! Wished we would have booked longer. Highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful location, private with beautiful grounds. Loved watching the wildlife in the mornings. Kitchen was well stocked, had a bit of trouble with the stove, but finally figured it out. Everything looked exactly like the photos, so no surprises. Would definitely recommend, especially as the host was very helpful and responsive.

Serene and peaceful! Just about everything needed to make all the typical activities convenient, including all of the equipment, beach towels and chairs, etc. A very quiet and private environment. Can’t wait to come back!

Joe was an incredible host. He was extremely responsive and gave recommendations for the area. We had originally booked our trip for December of 2024 but when the unexpected happened and we lost my mother in law two days before we were supposed to arrive in Hawaii, we had to re book for April. Joe was accommodating and so helpful in allowing us to rebook last minute. We appreciate his kindness more than he will ever know. The home was beautiful and exactly as pictured. It is a true oasis. We cannot wait to return to Mākaha and stay at Joes place again! I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you Joe, your home was a place of healing for us and we are so grateful to have been able to be acquainted with you through your place!

Mary’s home was perfect for our family of four. We have two young children and Anini beach was perfect! Just across the street is an access path to the beach. Soft sand with crystal clear calm shallow water, perfect for snorkeling and just splashing around. We even saw a sea turtle. The house is much better then the pictures, beautiful plantation style interior with a screened in dining area and lani to enjoy the morning sun. Our kids loved the out door shower and all beach equipment supplied at the house. My one comment is that it can be loud at night with roosters and cars passing by. If you bring ear plugs you’ll be fine. We can’t wait to come back.

Amazing! Don’t let the secret out! Spent a week, felt immersed in culture/community experience. HOST elevated the whole stay w/ deep knowledge about area, flora, fauna, ecology, culture, mythology…..a hidden gem! He spent treasured time with us, making memories + solid friendships. He taught kids how to make leis w/ orchids; picked three coconuts in yard, split them, let us taste milk/meat in all stages; pointed us to local affordable spots - Wed nights at Uncle Robert’s, old lava flows overtaking roads/shores, great beaches/tide pools with sea turtles/cucumbers, farmers markets, waterfalls/boiling pots, hot pools, active/inactive volcano sites, fishing charter w/ Malama Charters (saw whales, caught Mahi Mahi); told of Pele’s tears & natives’ offerings, helped us feel the life of the island. Host and crew work hard & it shows. Want to take backyard and kitchen sink home! Beds, hot tub, cool pool, showers are perfect. Geckos, frogs, toads galore. Will be back! Until we see you again!

My brother and I spent 9 nights in Bruce's cottage and can't imagine staying anywhere else WHEN we come back to Kauai. The home felt very private, even though on the farm property. I've seen other reviews mentioning ants, but they were a very minor issue, just keep the kitchen clean and you won't see them! We loved the geckos, they are so harmless and will even pose for up close pictures! You'll get used to the roosters, they are everywhere on the island, just bring earplugs to ensure a good night's sleep. Bed's were cozy, King in the bedroom as well as the pullout couch in the living room. Plenty of linens and pillows. Showers were great, a spacious indoor shower and a great outdoor shower as well. We took advantage of Bruce's rental car. Very well kept and clean SUV. Cheaper than a rental and Bruce provided pickup & dropoff services at the airport. Lastly, we played in 2 "farmball" games on the Fridays. So fun! All the players were so friendly and welcoming. Mahalo Bruce
