Beachfront vacation rentals in Lihue

Absolutely loved our stay at this Airbnb in Kauai! The views were breathtaking—we couldn’t get enough of watching the ocean right from the property. The space was spotless and felt super comfortable, and Brandi was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish. But the real magic? Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the waves crash all night long. It was like having a real-life sound machine, only better. So peaceful and relaxing—we’ve never slept so well! Would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Tom's place was fabulous. Tom was very communicative from the time of booking until about the day we left to ensure we had everything we needed. We came with the intent of just relaxing and that's exactly what we got there. The condo was clean & comfortable, had everything we needed, was quiet...except for the elephant footed people upstairs :( obviously no fault of Tom's. The grounds were extremely well kept and beautiful...very tropical, loved sitting on the patio just relaxing and listening to the birds & the palm trees sway in the breeze. Every staff member we came across was very friendly, was a very short walk to the beach with plenty of seating. BBQ's very accessible. Had a great time, would stay again !!

When we return to Kauai, our trip will be based around when we can book C5, as we felt everything was amazing and perfect for our liking. Thank you Greg!!

Cash’s place was great with an amazing view and easy walk to see a great sunset

Craig’s condo was the perfect place! Located in Princeville close to many restaurants, beaches, and walking trails. The condo offered great light and was spacious. Although it was just two of us (and our pup), the condo could comfortably accommodate a family or group. We would definitely recommend for a vacation in the Princeville/Hanalei area.

Great condo in a great resort! Waking up to the view in the backyard is all I have to say. Absolutely gorgeous. In addition to that, the condo itself was wonderful. Extremely spacious. The host was great, as well. I would definitely stay here again! Just a great experience overall.

Evans was an amazing host! He gave us plenty of local recommendations, and even lent us some of his own belongings to use for the beach! Very gracious and hospitable!

Cari was very helpful & kind in allowing us to check in early and in helping us get acquainted w the area. Beautiful property, with all the supplies we could need. If I go back in fall through spring, I’d definitely stay there. But it was very warm at night sleeping without AC in June.

I don't even know where to start with this little piece of heaven! The Surf Shack looks like something straight out of a magazine. The attention to detail with all of the decor and thoughtful touches. It was extremely well stocked and felt like I was staying at a friend's house. So cozy and charming. Our family loved watching the sunset every night off the balcony. We loved the little hike down to the beach. Enjoyed the pool, the view, the comfy beds, and my goodness-sweet Hanalei. I had the pleasure of meeting Kasey at the Bikini Hanalei shop in town. She was just as sweet as her condo is beautiful. It was the most memorable trip. We plan to come back again someday=) Thanks for a wonderful time and for sharing your place with us. Mahalo nui loa!

beautiful home in the middle of Princeville. Drivable distance to grocery store and resturants. Takes about 10-15 mins to drive to hanalei (depending on time of day). Beautiful views of the bay from the backyard. Kitchen was equipped with everything you needed. Cute place to call home for.a few days. Will come back.

Three of us had a wonderful 3 night stay at Alex's place and I'm so grateful as it was the perfect way for us to begin our Kauai visit celebrating our son's high school graduation. The condo was very clean, the beds comfortable, linens were so nice and the spacious kitchen had everything needed! There were lots of thoughtful touches like an informative binder waiting for us, plenty of beach supplies and several portable fans throughout the condo to keep us cool. We enjoyed our mornings on the lanai at sunrise and found the neighbors and grounds to be very peaceful and quiet. We'll definitely stay again and recommend Alex's place to others. One tip if you plan to grocery shop is to sign up online for the free membership at Foodland to receive significant savings.

Lauren reached out to us that we could check in early, she was also so kind to let us have a late check in as well. The unit was so beautiful with stunning ocean views. Would definitely stay again and tell our friends about this special spot.

Our stay at Jon's condo was AMAZING!!!!!! The entire property is so beautiful and so well maintained. The amount of flowers are so beautiful! The condo is perfect from the minute you walk in! The view out the slider of the beautiful grass area that flows right on to the beach and ocean was spectacular!! There's absolutely everything you need in the condo and it is beautiful. We felt right at home the minute we walked in! In less than a 5 minute walk there's the Lava Lava Beach Club for dining and cocktails on the beach. They have live music in the evening which we really enjoyed. Also the Coconut Marketplace is just another few minutes past Lava Lava. There's restaurants and shops were great. Whatever you do you Must have a Shave Ice at JoJo's! The best! We would certainly stay there again and are looking forward to a return visit!! Mahalo Jon and Sabrina!!

The place looked like the pictures & had everything as listed. The A/C, pools, & hot tubs were the highlight. The resort itself though wasn't our favorite. Construction on the rooms started at 6/6:30AM on the weekdays. The door has no sound proofing so you can hear everything happening in the hallway including the construction. The shower head is too low (I'm 5'9 & SO is 6'2 for reference) & there was little water pressure. The beds are medium soft but more on the soft side. Our least favorite part was the fact that the parking lot is about a 5-7min trek to the room & that the 1 microwave in the entire resort is 2 different elevator rides away.

We really enjoyed our stay and all of the amenities the resort had to offer. It was very quiet, felt very private and safe. Jen was a great host, very responsive and so welcoming to our family. The lagoon view resort retreat was great checked all of the boxes for our family of three. It was centrally located to everything on the east side of the island. We fell in love with Kaua’i and will be back. We highly recommended staying at Jen’s place.

We loved our stay here. My wife & I were both impressed with the room itself - great kitchen with new appliances , convenient coffee bar, spacious bathroom and shower, and very nice to have in-unit laundry with detergent supplied for us! The place also had all the beach gear you could need. Then, the resort amenities were top notch. Great pool & hot tub, lovely fire pit seating area with spectacular views, and great activities available like tennis and pickleball. There’s a bit of a walk down to the beach, but the resort offers complimentary golf cart rides that were always quickly accessible for us if we didn’t want to walk. And, getting down to the beach was absolutely worth it - gorgeous views! We will hope to be back again!

We’ve stayed in Baby’s Beach area and Koloa before but never at Kuhio Shores. We really enjoyed location and the unit! The stove wasn’t working properly so that was a bummer as it disrupted a couple meals we planned to make but they were very responsive and came to unit to assess situation. We would stay here again.

Truly amazing experience, can’t wait to come back! The location is incredible and Kristina and Steve were great friendly hosts.. can’t recommend this stay enough, hope we can be so lucky to experience it again..

We had a great time at Paul’s place. It was very comfortable for two people, great location close to the beach and local food options. We also appreciated how very clean it was as well as the pool and restaurant onsite. Paul was a very responsive and gracious host.

This was a wonderful place to stay on the island and Enas was always quick to respond to my questions and very helpful. It was SO great to have beach equipment, parking, and the lovely sound of the ocean to make our stay extra fantastic. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Enas!

We LOVED this little place. By far, this was our favorite Airbnb we have ever stayed at! The space was clean, spacious, and decorated so cute! Loved the bathroom counter space and large shower too. Our favorite was watching the sunset from the patio every single night; we made sure to be back every night because of the view! AMAZING! Also truly appreciated the beach gear (chairs, toys, umbrella, boogie boards, etc.) that saved us money from renting. Loved the hose on the back porch to spray everything off. The closet was also fully stocked with so many amenities including 2 cooler packs that we used daily. We absolutely will be back! Loved every second!

The cottage was a fantastic launching pad and spot to relax/recoup. It was even more private feeling than the pictures depict. The cottage is surrounded by landscaping that makes the cottage, deck, and shower feel very protected, and quiet…. Yet also safe. The cottage kitchen is well appointed - making it easy to cook (or bbq out back) my meals. The cottage is located next to an easy to access beach, where you’ll often have it to yourself. Taline and Dan were awesome hosts with lots of local knowledge and were extremely responsive. The location is also such that it’s easy to find good food, and places to relax and explore.

Sara's place was unbelievably breathtaking. The location was perfect to get around to all the local eateries. The views of the sunset were breathtaking. I cannot wait to plan another trip and will definietely be booking this place again.

We had a great stay at Egidio’s place. Great location, great view, AC and other amenities. Would stay again. Thank you!
