The best tiny home rentals near Honolulu, Hawaii

With the big city juxtaposed against the blue water and sandy beaches, camping at Honolulu is the ideal combination of fun and relaxation. Enjoy some coastal camping on Sand Island, located on the Honolulu Harbor. There are beaches, hiking trails, snorkeling, and even a small community on the island itself with watersport rentals and eateries. After getting your fill of lazing on the beach and swimming, head across the channel to Honolulu proper where you can find the Polynesian Cultural Center, the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, the Battleship Missouri Memorial, and downtown shopping. Head a little further inland to the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve. Both the Lulumahu Falls and Monoa Falls are stunning hikes. For great views, hike up to the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout. If hiking is your thing, take the Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail. Stop along the way at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve and the Sea Life Park. Whether you want to explore nature or combine camping with some city fun, Honolulu has it.

I loved staying with Michelle. She was the epitome of helpful and friendly. The cottage is walking distance to town or to the beach, both about a 15 minute walk away. The best was comfortable, the space super clean, and had everything I needed to feel comfortable. Michelle gave me great restaurant and scenic view recommendations. Absolutely amazing time and would love to stay again next time I'm in town.

3 nights at Lā’ie Tiny Home

Jelly was so very kind, patient and accommodating as we changed and rearranged dates to work with our plans and last minute flight changes. We had the perfect stay here! Chickens galore with the their calls and birds and their songs were the perfect morning greeting. Listening to the evening showers closed out each night perfectly. Everything was well stocked and thought out for guests at the North Shore. Everything needed for a day at the beach was available, including: boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs, and an ice chest-saving us money in not having to rent anything. The splits for a/c were so refreshing and kept us cool while we were inside. Beds were comfy with cozy bedding, the kitchen stocked with all we needed and more! We hope that when we return, we can set this up as a place to stay again! If you have the opportunity, and the dates you need are open for this home, grab it quickly, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for a memorable stay on the North Shore, we already miss it!
