If you haven’t been to one of our local farmer’s markets, it’s well worth the time, especially if you are staying in a vacation rental instead of a hotel room. Why? Well, you can find a lot of great local produce from fresh fruits to homegrown vegetables. But that won’t do you as much good unless you’re staying somewhere with a kitchen, if you know what I mean.
This Wednesday (aka tomorrow) from 3pm-6pm, the weekly Kapaa Farmers Market and Swap Meet will take place. This is one of the better Farmers Markets because you can get excellent produce and also amazing deals on swapped items. Last year, a friend of mine got a $200 surfboard as a trade in for car parts! Can you believe it!?? Of course, I don’t surf, so I didn’t even consider the surfboard. But I’ve gotten clothes, other water sports gear, and a few items for my home from this swap meet. So I know it’s worth a visit.
I try to get there every Wednesday, but lately I’ve only been going once a month. I got a bit busy, I guess, so I don’t have as much free time in the afternoons. But if you have the time, I would highly recommend visiting this Farmers Market. It’s free for anyone wanting some good deals and fresh foods, and it’s only $20 for vendors to set up a booth. So everyone wins.
I’ll include a map of where it’s located (plus it shouldn’t be hard to find on a GPS). My recommendation is to enter the market from behind the Bank of Hawaii on Lehua Street and park there, as there will be less traffic. And once you get there, have fun! Browse, buy, and support our local growers.

If you and your friends have been talking about taking a big trip together somewhere fun or exotic, then I recommend coming to Kauai. Not only do we have a million different things for you and your friends to do, but we also have a large vacation home (Anahola Beach House) for you all to stay in together. And with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, there should be more than enough space for everyone in your party!
Let’s talk details. As I mentioned, there are seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Of course, only two of the bedrooms have King sized beds, so you might have to call dibs. ☺ The bedrooms are spread out throughout the house, giving each couple or individual person some much needed privacy. And then, of course, there are large main rooms for hanging out together including a large living room, dining room, and kitchen.
The kitchen is fully equipped, allowing you to cook at your leisure. And the living room has a flat screen tv for vegging out at the end of a long day playing in the sun. The dining room has seating for everyone, and the private courtyard is there for lounging, laughing, or playing. There is even a gas BBQ for those who enjoy big steaks or grilling up their freshly caught fish.
Can I just say this place is amazing? Seriously, it’s big, private, fun, and provides everything you will need while staying on Kauai, minus the food. Plus, there is a large yard for playing football or Frisbee and a beach not too far away. (It pays to stay in Anahola.)
So, if you want to travel somewhere exciting with your friends or your extremely large family, come to Kauai and look up the Anahola Beach House. Once you see it, you’ll know it’s the place for you.
Do you love the beach? Do you dream of a large house on white sandy beaches? Do you want to enjoy your next vacation to its fullest? Then you should look into the Anahola Aloha Beach House off Anahola Road. This beach house has it all, and it is one of the best rental homes on all of Kauai. Let me tell you more.
Anahola Aloha Beach House is located directly on the Anahola Bay. There is a large lawn for playing games or simply enjoying the landscaping. And, of course, there is a large stretch of beach right off the back deck. That’s right. You heard me. There is a spaceous back deck that leads down to a beautiful white sandy beach along Anahola Bay.
But you shouldn’t just stop at viewing the beach from your deck. Sure, it’s always nice to grab the BBQ tongs and grill up a nice meal while watching the water, but the point of a tropical island is to enjoy yourself. So go and get wet! This beach is a great beach for surfing, swimming, snorkeling, boating, paddle-boarding, scuba diving, kayaking, and more! And when you are done in the water, you can sunbathe, wander down the beach, enjoy building a sandcastle, or simply relax on your porch and watch everyone else play in the sand.
What are the other great features of this house? Well, it has two master suites, so you can sleep in comfort while enjoying your own private bathrooms. Beside the two master suites, there are two additional bedrooms with Queen-sized and double-sized beds and an additional bathroom in the main part of the house. Plus, there is a sofa sleeper in the living room, which makes this house large enough to sleep 11 people! So there is more than enough room for a large family, two families vacationing together, a group of friends spending Spring Break on the island, a business group that needs a private place to work, or a single person who really, really likes their space.
The house has plenty of communal space as well, with a living room, kitchen, dining room, and media room. The media room is a separate room from the living room that has a flat screen tv and DVD player. But don’t worry – there are TV/DVD/VCR combos in all of the guest rooms as well. So if you want to enjoy a private movie, you can do so in comfort.
Other amenities include a hot tub, a washer and dryer, fine table linens and dinnerware, a kitchen stocked with gadgets and cookware, access to the beach, and a location about halfway between Kilauea and Kapaa. In other words, you can spend your entire trip hanging out in this luxurious house OR you can drive to a nearby town and enjoy more of what the island has to offer, from equipment rentals and adventure tours to nice restaurants and spas.
So why not contact the rental company and check into Anahola Aloha Beach House? You could be spending your trip to Kauai in comfort and luxury with just one phone call.
The last time I took a vacation, I stayed in a city. I was surrounded by people at all times. This wasn’t so bad when I was touring around or visiting the sites, but I hated to be surrounded by people at night when I wanted to go to bed. Staying in a hotel isn’t always fun. But that’s why I can whole-heartedly recommend Bond Beach House for your stay here on Kauai.
Bond Beach House is a lovely place located in Anahola. It’s right on the beach, giving you immediate access to the ocean and the beautiful views of the island. And, because it’s in Anahola, it’s centrally located on the island, giving you easy access to any number of things to do from hiking and water sports to shopping and spa treatments. However, unlike a hotel, this beach house is located in a hide-away spot on the island. So you get a secluded section of white sandy beach all to yourself.
The house itself is just as nice as its location. It’s a 4-bedroom house with 3 bathrooms, so there is more than enough room for a large family or group of friends. It also has a living room for spending family time indoors, a kitchen with everything you’ll need to make a meal (minus the food), a dining area for family dinners, and a lot of space to roam around outside. It’s a great home with a lot of space, but that isn’t the only reason it’s great.
The house comes with a washer and dryer, so you can pack light and wash what you need. And it has an air conditioner, so you can stay cool even on hot, humid days. There is a hot tub outside for some evening enjoyment, and a BBQ on the patio for making dinners. Plus, the master bathroom has a Jacuzzi spa for relaxation and alone time.
In other words, the Bond Beach House is one of the best vacation rental homes on Kauai. So check it out today!
Okay, today let’s go for big, beautiful, and on the beach! When you’re looking for an Anahola Beach House with enough room for a large family or a private party, it pays to know about this bodacious beauty right on the sand. With seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and 5,000 square feet of opulent accommodations, you can get lost in this wonder of a rental. Plus, did I mention it was only a few hundred feet away from the water?
This comfortable beach house located at 4274 Poha Road has modern furnishings, a private courtyard, free wireless internet access, and an outdoor BBQ area complete with garden showers for rinsing off after some fun in the ocean. It is perfect for a large group of individuals or couples who are traveling together, especially if money is an issue. At $7,000 a week, you can either have a very large house all to yourself or you can invite everyone you know and make a party of it, splitting the cost between the lot of you.
The best part is that this house is on the east side of the island, giving you access to everything eastern Kauai has to offer, from Fern Grotto and the Kauai Museum to Kilohana Plantation and Kipu Falls. In fact, the east side also has Lydgate State Park, by far one of the best family beaches on the island. After renting this house, you can truly have a great time exploring the east side of the island right from your own backyard. What could be better?
Anahola, while technically on Kauai’s East Coast has a large white sand beach and is only a few short miles from the actual beginning of Kauai’s North Shore which is the town of Kilauea. View other Anahola-Aliomanu Vacation Rentals
