Excellent location and surroundings. Nice ocean view from the room. Everything was good. Life would have been easier for me had there been some more microwave-compatible utensils.

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviewsOceanfront Oasis: Renovated Coastal Retreat
Kyle's unit was THE BEST stay we have had in HI. The bedroom is truly separate from the living area because it has a wall and doors instead of a large sliding door. My wife was able to sleep in while I made noise in other rooms without worrying I would disturb her. The way the floorplan is configured, there is a beverage refrigerator with a separate wall and countertop between the living room and kitchen/bar area. This made the space feel even larger and it was very useful for chilling bottles and having extra counter space to place personal items needed coming in or going out every day. The furniture was clean and comfortable. The night stands had a drawer on top and a shelf at the bottom for extra storage. The dresser has 9 substantial drawers. There are 3 closets for guests. It was easy to unpack and feel right at home. Everything we needed was available and Kyle was always quick to respond when we had questions. We're spoiled now and would love to stay again next year.

We had a great time at Elina’s place. It had everything we needed, and a great location for easy access to the beach or park. The view is amazing, and we enjoyed the sunset from the balcony. Walking distance to Ala Moana shopping center, restaurants and my favorite supermarket Foodland. Elina is a great host, offering lots of recommendations and maintaining excellent communication throughout our stay. We will come back again in the near future.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviewsOne of a kind Beach front 2brm ocean and mnt views
Absolutely stunning place. Loved looking out at the water and the beach. Gorgeous decor and natural wood finishings gave it a feeling of relaxed luxury. Great kitchen, incredibly comfortable king bed, great shower. We loved the quieter location and drove all over the North Shore adventuring. It took us a few days to figure out who Eddie was but once we did we were even more entranced by the local scene.

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviewsHale Mahina Beach House
Easy access to a great beach. We did miss a couple days of swimming as the jellyfish were in and stung my oldest son, but it is the ocean and such things happen. We just drove a few minutes north to another beach our last day there. The house was just as described, it had everything we needed. I had read previous reviews about the busy road and loud ac units so we expected that, but I do agree. All in all, it was a great place for our family this trip and we were glad we stayed.

Hilton Village is easy. Has everything you could need or want so you don’t spend time driving all over in Honolulu traffic! We wanted to arrive and park it! This place allowed us to do just that!!

You can't touch this location! Right next to Waimea Bay on North Shore of Oahu? Epic, Don't miss the "front yard". Perfectly positioned between Banzai Pipeline and Haleiwa; you spend time not in traffic but living up your life.

New place to stayBahama Ocean Bungalow
We absolutely loved this Airbnb. If available again during a future visit, we would 200% be willing to stay here again. The house had great access to the beach, with a fabulous sunrise/sunset view. It had more than enough space for parking, and also gave us the sense of security with the electric front gate, and cameras on the premises. Alex was fantastic about promptly responding despite traveling himself. We greatly appreciate his hospitality in opening his home to us.

John’s Airbnb was peaceful, serene, and heavenly. Right across is the ocean and you can see Chinaman’s hat from Airbnb. Location was very close to Valley of the Temples, where we had my mom’s funeral services. John was a gentleman, understanding, supportive, and empathetic to our visit. I would definitely come back to this place if I was in town. Thanks John!

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsSeabreeze:Oceanfront, AC, Outdoor Shower, 30 Day
Words cannot describe how beautiful this setting is! Many of the homes on Oahu that are right on the water also boarder the Kamehameha Hwy. This home is located on a lovely loop off the highway, away from the busy road, so no worries about the traffic at all! The air conditioning was a life saver for us-use a fan from the closet to send the cool air from the bedroom into the main living area to keep the whole house cool. The master bedroom has a glass door facing the water- amazing views! The sunrise each morning was out of this world. If you don't want to wake with the early morning sun, bring an eye mask. Ditto if you plan to use the couch bed-no curtains on the living area windows for an open view. Peak over the seawall to see lots of crabs! Tracie's house offered PLENTY of beach towels which we much appreciated! Overall, the most perfect of perfect places for our family vacation.

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviewsAs Oceanfront As It Gets
We very much enjoyed our stay here! The views are amazing - undisrupted view of the sea, including the sunset in the evening and clear view of the famous Hilton fireworks from the balcony, just superb. The location is also very good, could walk to the stores, the beach, restaurants are nearby and the Convention Centre was also just a short walk away, which was nice (as our conference was held there). The apartment was well equipped, so you could do cooking, there are plently of towels available and you could even borrow some beach equipment. The AC worked well and the apartment was quiet (high floor, facing the yacht port). The hosts were very responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place!

Our stay in Oahu couldn't have been more perfect than with Cintia. The condo has a beautiful view of the main beach area, and it has ample eating and entertainment within walking distance. We enjoyed a wonderful fireworks show from the balcony for Waikiki's Friday night fireworks and a birds eye view of the Luau venue across the way. We would 100% stay again with Cintia if we return to Oahu!

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsOcean & Overlooking Lagoon View Condo-Free Parking
I highly recommend this place. It's very well located with a lot of activities nearby. The beach is at a walkable distance and there is a lagoon for younger kids to enjoy the water. There is also fireworks every Friday in front of the lagoon and you have the perfect view from the balcony. The airbnb provides everything you need for the beach from towels to pop up tents and kids toys. The beds were very comfortable and what I like the most is that they provide plenty of towels during your stay without worrying about doing the laundry. The hosts are very friendly and gave clear instructions for check-in. They were also extremely accommodating. my daughter was sick for most of our stay and was feeling better the day of the check out. They were a ke to accommodate us with late check out so we can have our little one enjoy the stay a bit longer.

The condo was the perfect place to stay for my family. The condo was large and talk about a view! We saw the entire yacht harbor and it included sea turtles as well! The host was incredibly responsive. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip.

We stayed a week in Zaneta’s place. The location is great. The unit had everything we needed for our stay. Beach chairs and umbrella were a great addition to take to the beach with us. Check in was seamless. Would stay again!
Condo in Honolulu
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 76 reviewsOn The Gold Coast of Waikiki
We were spending Thanksgiving with our daughter who’s in school at UH. We wanted something close to the beach and yet not among all the noise of Waikiki. Terri’s place you get one gets the quieter part and beach. And it is still an easy stroll along the water to all the food, shopping and music scene in Waikiki. Terri’s place is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen is hands down by far one of the best equipped kitchens I have ever stayed in. But most of all I appreciated Terri’s responsiveness and ease in communicating with. She really wants her quests to enjoy themselves and feel at home. We experienced the Aloha. Thank you for a warm and wonderful stay.
