Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kawela Bay

Great location with incredible scenery. It's a very quiet and private area. I would recommend staying here if you're looking to be away from the busyness of the city.

We had an unforgettable stay ! The location was perfect—just minutes from the beach and tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Waking up to mountains breezes and birdsong each morning was absolute paradise. The home itself was spotless and beautifully decorated with local touches. The kitchen was well-equipped. The host provided everything we needed—beach chairs, snorkel gear. Communication with the host was excellent—super responsive and helpful with local recommendations. We especially appreciated the personal touches like a welcome note and a list of nearby hidden gems (we discovered a great poke spot because of it!). We felt safe, comfortable.

Brooke’s place was perfect for my partner and I plus daughter and niece. We were able to cook in the kitchen with sharp knives other good kitchen amenities but also appreciated that there were plenty of dining out options very close by. Kailua and adjacent beaches are clean, friendly and beautiful! It felt safe for the teenagers to spend hours on their own. All around great experience with Brooke being very easy to reach and helpful with recommendations for hikes, shops and restaurants.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Emma's place! The location, in the majestic Makaha Valley, was absolutely stunning! Emma's house was spacious, sparkling clean, and perfectly appointed in every way. The home is especially well suited for a family, with plenty of space for everyone. We immedately felt at home and able to unwind after a busy day of adventures around Oahu. By the end of our visit, my kids were ready to move in! Emma's house is the definition of indoor-outdoor living, with a brand new backyard complete with pretty landscaping, an outdoor cooking space with grill, a bar seating six, a comfortable seating area, and a hot tub! Just steps away is a private neighborhood pool great for families. Emma is a fabulous host who is responsive, flexible, and kind. She has thought of every detail to make this a great stay for a family of all ages, and she went out of her way multiple times to accomodate our family's needs. We look forward to returning again soon!

Good place, modern, and had a nice view from the yard of the natural beauty. lots of toys to take to the beach and in a nice gated community

Emma is a great host. She consistently responded throughout our stay and helped fix minor issues that came up. Her place is beautiful and we had a great family vacation on Oahu. Thanks Emma!

Loved Lindsay’s little cozy spot near the beach! It was great for my family of 5!(all young kids I should say) walking distance to some amazing food trucks and beach views! We will definitely stay there again over a busy hotel :) Very responsive and timely ! Clean! Stocked with everything we needed! And the WiFi was faster than our previous hotels which my working husband was thankful for!

In one word, AMAZING!!! Everything was exceptional, the only negative thing I can say is that now I have to buy a new bed at home because the bed at this place was incredible. The home was exactly as advertised, the views of the ocean were sensational. There were even extras for the beach such as coolers, snorkels, umbrellas, boogie boards and much more. Friendly and responsive hosts were there for us, even before we needed them. As long as you know where you are staying and are prepared for the drive, this place is a premium slice of heaven in heaven. Thank you for being part of our adventure.

Perfect place for a family. Beach access is right there! And great views. The pool was also excellentl! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to book again.

Nice neighborhood close, but not too close, to beaches and parks. Many families in the area and has more of a local feel than further north. Young kids upstairs full of energy but quiet by bedtime.

Amazing place to stay! Only hiccup was the code to the gate/door being incorrect in the message that was sent to me, but after figuring out the correct code, it was a perfect stay!

Nicole’s condo was in the perfect location! Close to the Ritz Carleton Resort at Turtle Bay Beach. Beautiful area. Awesome restaurants in the area! We loved Beach House and LeiLei’s restaurants. The food was outstanding at both. The condo was super clean and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy!! A little noise from upstairs tenants during the day but perfectly quiet at night. Beach chairs, floaty, umbrella & beach towels were provided. Turtle Bay Beach has public access & the Large Beach Umbrellas & lounge chairs are available to rent from Ritz Carlton. They have a service hut near the public entrance. Nicole was so communicative in detailing the house rules and how to get into her place. We had a great time!!

Peter's place was perfect for our 5 day stay. You are right on the beach with nothing between you and the ocean. You are on the 12th floor with beyond amazing views of the ocean, sunsets, boats, turtles and we even saw a moon rise the last morning. The beach is one of the most pristine beaches I have ever seen. The water is clear, the sand is thick with absolutely zero seaweed. The beach appeared to be about 1/4 -1/2 mile long which I loved to just walk. The sand was so thick that it was a workout to just walk. Even the wet sand was thick! The beach is quiet with just a handful of folks on it at any time. Be aware that the west side of Oahu is the "poorer" section of the island. There are homeless encampments on the public beaches. Since this is a private gated community with 24/7 security there are no issues with homeless folks. We had a car and did lots of sightseeing during the day on the North, South and East side of Oahu. I came for the beach and it did not disappoint.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeanine’s place. We were visiting for our daughter’s wedding, and the apartment was perfect in terms of amenities and location. The fact that it was so close to Turtle Bay resort was also helpful as much of the wedding party was there.

We loved our stay here! Such a great location, close to a lot of restaurants and activities. Her list of recommendations was so helpful too! Bed was comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. Highly recommend!!

Location, location, location. Superb location that allows you to walk to amazing beaches and restaurants.. Nice, clean, quiet, and bright condo. The ceilings in the loft are a bit low, I bonked my head a few times, and no outdoor sitting area were a minus, but after a few days of enjoying all that the area offers, these issues faded away. Kitchen was well-equipped, and we made some nice meals while also mixing in eating out at the great food venues in the near vicinity. There were nice beach chairs and cooler which were well used! I'd definitely rent from this host again as they have lots of properties, but maybe opt for one of their properties with a deck or patio (and read the listing's amenities more closely). Loved everything else.

We enjoyed our stay at the condo. Everything was exactly as pictured in the photos. The condo was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Ryan was prompt in all communications. Would definitely stay here again.

Jordan’s place was terrific , spotless and clean , great air con and was stocked with all we needed ,including beach towels and beach gear to use . Has a great time there and wouldn’t hesitate to return again next chance we get

Cecilia is an amazing host. She is very accommodating and extremely quick to respond. Perfect location and easy to access.

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless and well stocked with towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and everything you’d need to cook. Great location for exploring the north shore. We were two couples and the set up was perfect for us, with plenty of space and two bathrooms. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at this clean, quiet, and relaxing condo. The coffee was great, and we loved being so close to the beach. It was the perfect place to unwind. There were a few good food options nearby, and the peaceful setting made it easy to disconnect. Would definitely come back!

Shannon's place on the North Shore was a perfect spot for our staycation. The condo was a close walk to Turtle Bay, the even being held at Turtle Bay, and a short drive to many amazing food trucks and restaurants. The condo had a gorgeous view of one of the golf course holes and free flowing palm trees. The unit itself was perfect for our needs and would be great for a small family or group. Easy to find, close parking, and super helpful hosts. Absolute gem on the North Shore.

Wendy’s place at Turtle Bay was an absolute dream! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything we needed—from beach towels and chairs to a full kitchen setup. The location can’t be beat—just a short walk to the beach, golf course, restaurants, and some of the best sunsets we’ve ever seen. Wendy was a phenomenal host—responsive, thoughtful, and full of great local recommendations. We especially appreciated the personal touches and how easy she made the check-in process. Whether you’re looking to surf, relax, or explore the North Shore, this is the perfect home base. We’ll definitely be back!

The place was great, clean, and quiet. I live on Oahu, but had a staycation and this place was perfect. Quick walks to the coves and beaches, even got to see a Monk Seal with her pup. Great spot and I recommend staying here. Mahalo
