Best Airbnb Hawaii Rentals

Dreaming about a trip to Hawaii's Big Island?

Save time on your Airbnb Hawaii rental search, including our recommendations for best Airbnb Hilo and Airbnb Kona choices.

We searched every town on Hawaii's Big Island for the best Airbnb rentals in Hawaii...so you wouldn't have to! In this comprehensive Hawaii vacation rentals guide, we only recommend the best Airbnb Hawaii deals.

The properties we show here were selected based on a combination of the following factors: the number of Airbnb reviews of the property itself, the quality of the host, the location, and its relative comparison to other Hawaii Airbnb rentals.

If you're looking for the other Hawaiian islands, we did a separate guide on Kauai Airbnb, Oahu Airbnb, and Maui Airbnb suggestions.

Panoramic views of all of Hilo Bay in this Airbnb Hilo rental.

Waikoloa is our favorite area to stay on Hawaii's Big Island. This charming section of the Kohala Coast feels like a destination unto itself and if you use it as a hopping-off point to tour the rest of the island (you'll need a rental), it's a great area to come home to each night.

The beaches in this area are phenomenal. This sparkling two-bedroom condo is close to the beach, walking distance to the King's and Queen's shops, and very close to grocery and dining options.

Ideal location! Overlooking both the golf course and the beach, you'll enjoy ocean views from all throughout this Airbnb Hawaii rental.

If you don't get sticker shock from the price, then proceed to enjoy a romantic Hawaiian villa that feels like it should be part of an exclusive resort property. No detail has been overlooked.

The bedrooms are set in their own mini-bungalows for maximum privacy. The upscale kitchen is equally well-suited for inviting a private chef to craft you a culinary experience or busting out a bowl of cereal. 

The great thing about the North End of Hawaii Big Island is that you can escape into what feels like "true Hawaii." On this plantation Airbnb Hawi rental, your vacation awaits on an acre of tropical garden.
