Waimanalo Beach beachfront vacation rentals

I have stayed in this property once before and loved it then too. However this time - I had to make a last minute booking as other air bnb accom fell through on the day and was stuck. The team were incredible, so responsive, had me sorted and in within 2 hours of first reaching out. Do not spend your money staying at old run down hotels on the beach, the view from the balcony alone here is worth it, music playing at the cafe downstairs, palm trees swaying against the beach all visible from the balcony and from the bed. Has everything you need - drip coffee for the morning, can fit ice in the freezer for some lazy sunset balcony drinks, comfortable bed (I always travel with my own pillow so can’t comment on the pillows), air con worked beautifully. Location cannot be beaten one block from pretty much everything. Do yourself a favour, don’t read any more reviews, book this place and happy happy Hawaiian holidays.

We had a great stay with Irish and Kyle! They were very helpful and gave us great recommendations. Home is across the street from the beach and nearby many cool attractions, while still feeling local. It was overall a very clean place that had everything we needed!

This was a beautiful home in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. It was the perfect size for our family of 4, including 2 children. We enjoyed being able to watch the sunrise from the backyard, and driving only 3 minutes to a large, gorgeous beach. The host was very responsive, friendly and kind. We highly recommend this place for any group!

The high rating, general feel of the pics, and reviews of this listing are SPOT ON. What a lovely cottage-y home base for those wanting a safe, private, beautiful, off-the-beaten-on-the-authentic-North-Shore-path vibe. The beach and view of the Pacific Ocean are world-class. 10-minute, beautiful, quiet drive to the charming beaches, shopping, and dining centers dotting the oceanfront highway heading east. Lots of active things to do in the area. Decor and kitchen are high-end. Hosts quick to respond and hospitable. North Shore waters are mostly not for families with small children who want to swim and snorkel, and this spot is no different. Our only wish: upgrade the mattresses. It’s like Goldilocks, but with only two we never got to the “just right” part. ☺️ Whomever snags this reservation, think you’ll be blown away!

We love this super clean, quiet, safe corner unit. The view is unique: from this apartment, we can see the ocean, the Ala Wai canal, the Fort DeRussy beach park. This location is super convenient, bus route 8 and 20 are enough to take us to any popular places on Waikiki, and the bus stop is just right across the street from the hotel. Communication with our host Albert is prompt and very informative. Definitely we want to stay here again! Thank you Albert!

Nice beach house. Little busier road than expected to get to the beach, but liked the access to the nice beach and easy access to local attractions.

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!!

The entire stay was relaxing and enjoyable. We have family that live there so it was a perfect location for us. Upon arrival he was proactive with communication and had all the instructions clearly laid out to understand what the expectations were. We got there and only had 2 beds for sleep space. However, after explaining this to him & his assistant Walter, they corrected the issue immediately providing a sleep sofa for another space to sleep in the living room area. I appreciate their immediate attention and response to this. Providing a solution to make it correct! Everything that was needed was provided both in the kitchen and bathroom, which was refreshing. And the location was nice with a 5 minute walk to Starbucks, restaurants and groceries. And a 10 minute walk to the beach. All in all this was a fantastic experience. Thank you!

Our family of 8 absolutely loved Courtney's rental. I don't think it could have been in a better location. It is with in walking distance of all the lagoons, local shops, golfing and it's a quick drive to grocery stores. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, instructions were clear and the check in/out process was a breeze. Our only cons were there were only 2 beach towels, no spices and the trash under the sink was way too small for the 8 of us. We are seasoned Air bnbers so we did pack a few of things we knew we would need like laundry pods, paper towels and a few smaller items but coming from the East Coast we were only checking 1 bag and didn't bring any spices, beach towels or dish & dishwasher soap. Island Country Market (SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS and get those free items!), Safeway, Target and Walmart are really just a short drive to grab what was needed so it wasn't a big deal but just be prepared to need these items. We absolutely can not wait to go back. Aloha.

Charlie’s place was just as pictured. The best part was mornings and evenings on the balcony. The views were fantastic. The city sounds and rooster sounds were a fun combination. We cooked everyday and found the kitchen worked out well. We had a little issue with the oven but Charlie addressed it promptly even providing a brand new temporary toaster oven which was very helpful. There’s a great Safeway not too far away. We would be happy to stay here again. It felt like home away from home.

Our stay was amazing, my family had such a good time. The house accommodated my family of 12 even though at the end it was only 10 of us & a baby for a total of 11. Everyone stayed comfortable. Anything needed for the beach they had so there’s no need to carry extra items. It was also very spacious. The location was gated & we felt very happy & safe. I would rate this place a 5/5 stars. Everything was perfect!

We had a great stay in Lanikai! Very walkable. Our toddler was very happy on the memory foam pull out couch. I could see it harder with older kids or another couple as the bathoom is attached to the main bedroom. Like other reviewers, we did notice mosquitos after heavy rain, but otherwise it was not an issue. The pool was much bigger than I was expecting and had a nice shallow/deep end split. We would stay again!

Emma was a great host! Very responsive throughout the whole process and even checked in a few time while we stayed. Her house is beautiful in a quite gated neighborhood with a beautiful mountain backdrop. Having access with the garage to park was a plus! Lots of extras to use for a good day at the beach without hauling it along on your vacation with you. Some beautiful beaches nearby,(where there is no homeless) but is a bit out from Waikiki if that is where you are going to spend a lot of time. Great location if you want out of the big city.

Melissa went above and beyond with her recommendations and quick responses. The house was perfect and we felt right at home. The beaches were close and clean. Our oldest planned his proposal around her local recommendations and it was absolutely beautiful! We had an amazing family vacation. Thank you!!

The house was great! The community within the gates was awesome! The host, was great! The residential area just outside the gated community was fine. The area along Farrington Hwy (Hwy 93), between Makaha Valley Road and south for about 8 or so miles, was riddled with beach front homelessness. Don’t expect to hit the beach in this area. We drove north to Makua Beach, which was nice and felt safe. We also spent time at the Kohola Lagoon in front of Aulani Disney Resort. Aulani was nice and the beach felt safe. The house itself is in good shape. There were some minor things, which happens with some careless guests. Joe provided very useful beach equipment. We used the towels, beach mats, snorkel gear, kids beach toys and took the umbrellas just in case. The washer and dryer were very helpful, to ready the towels and swim clothes for the next day. The exterior fourth bedroom was great for my oldest son. It has all you need. Overall, great house, great host and great amenities. Mahalo

We had a great four month stay with Son and his wife. The location was super close to Waikiki but also quiet enough to escape the city. The bus took us to the sea within 5 minutes. Everything you need was available in the Airbnb. Son was always helpful and if we needed anything, Son helped us out. We felt very comfortable and can highly recommend staying with Son.

This Airbnb was lovely and in a very convenient location. Not too close to the business of Waikiki but close enough to enjoy all of the walkable restaurants, shops, and beaches. The hotel staff was also very friendly and helpful.

Wow just wow . Excellent location , very easy to find and close proximity to the beach and beautiful Ritz . It was so clean and had a cool Hawaiian vibe . Everything you could need was inside with all household appliances and beach chairs . I was even greeted with some chocolates and Prosecco for my birthday . My trip to the North shore was pulled forward a day and only stayed one night before my booking at another condo on the complex . Very pleased there was availability at Jo Ann’s , it was a place to relax and recover from my Jet lag travelling from UK 🇬🇧 . Thank you again for making my first night on Oahu a memorable one 🌺

Geoffrey was helpful and responded quickly. The condo was a perfect location for our needs and we loved staying there. It was clean and bright. Loved the beach toys and the beach. I would definitely stay again.

This place looked exactly like the photos—such a great value for the price! It’s conveniently located near everything, and the host even provides parking and access to a car, which was super helpful. The space was spotless, and oh my gosh, the bed was incredibly comfortable! We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for the amazing stay! Just one note: I saw some comments about the parking spot being wet and tight. Yes, it’s true—but the water wasn’t bad at all, and honestly, it rains in the area, so it’s to be expected. The parking is tight, so if you’re not a confident driver, it might be a bit challenging. But my husband and I had no issues at all.

Lovely place! Looks like they put a lots of effort and details in their condo. Kitchen well equipped. Everything was labeled. Easy to understand and use. Something came up during our stay but Ju and Kaash solved it immediately. Good location, you can walk to the beach. A golf course in the back for privacy. I will stay here again.

Turtle Bay is perfect for families with children to relax and enjoy activities. We had stayed in a condo in this area before, but Lisa’s condo was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and made for a fantastic stay. In particular, the well-equipped kitchen was a wonderful bonus for us, as we love cooking.

The condo itself, the pool, and the beach outside the condo are wonderful. Spectacular sunsets and a pristine beach. The condo is very nice with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The only downside is the large homeless population in the area. Very sad. We drove each day to other parts of the island and then returned in the afternoon to walk the beach and lay by the pool. Charmaine is a wonderful host.

This condo was spotless and in a great location over one of the pools. There were lots of beach chairs, snorkels, and toys so we did not have to buy any. The lagoon and beach are wonderful. There are great grocery shopping and restaurants nearby. We had a wonderful week!
