Need a place to stay in 2012 when you come to Kauai? Great! I have a ton of vacation rentals to tell you about so you don’t have to stay in an overpriced hotel during your visit. (After all, we do want you to come back and visit again… and that would be hard to do if you spend your entire savings on lodging, right?) First of all, let’s talk about Hale Waileia in Princeville.
Forget staying in a tiny hotel room. This house (yes, I said house) in Princeville has all of the room you will need to truly relax and enjoy your stay. You know how they say that clutter will clutter the mind? Well, you will not have that problem with this house. Every room is highlighted with multiple windows (some floor to ceiling), so you can always see the beautiful tropical island that surrounds you. Plus you get your own private courtyard with a view of a beautiful Kauai garden.
And this house is big. We are talking about 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living room and dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen for only $1,050 a week! The master suit is large, with a king-sized bed, private bathroom, and immaculate furnishings. And the entire house has hardwood floors and updated cabinets to give it a modern yet comfy feel.
Wanna know the best part? Well, okay, the price is really the best part. But you will also be a short walk away from a world class golf course, shopping centers, restaurants, beaches, equipment rental shops, and everything else that Princeville has to offer! And, if you want something fun to do, simply use the high speed internet here at Hale Waileia and look up my blog. I’ll provide you with all of the island highlights!
Okay, maybe you just made plans to come to Kauai for the end of the year. Maybe you decided last minute and are now trying to find a nice hotel in your price range? Maybe you went to the hotel you had booked and realized just how expensive it was? Maybe your wall-mates in the room next to yours are extremely loud every night? Whatever the reason, you need to find a nice condo on Kauai to use during your stay. So have you considered Hanalei Bay Villa 15?
You know what? You probably haven’t! But you should. If you are going to be staying on the island with your small family or a couple friends, this is the place for you. Why? Well, let me list the reasons for you.
Comfort – This place is cozy. The furniture is all comfortable and nice. The style is island and the colors are fun and warm. And if you care nothing about the look, how about the fact that you get two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a living room, a full kitchen, a lanai, and a backyard to use. MUCH better than a hotel room, yes?
Cost – A hotel on Kauai around the holidays is expensive. Okay, it’s more than expensive; it’s like buying a car expensive. So if you want to be able to afford your vacation, a condo or vacation home is much better for you. Hanalei Bay Villa 15 is actually a cottage, so it has that homey quality that is so lack in many places. Plus, it’s only $1,330 a week! Seriously, that’s each week, not each night! Price some hotels and you’ll see how good a deal this place is.
Amenities – A hotel room will give you a mini bar (which costs money), a television (that can be heard through the walls), and a downstairs lobby and restaurant (which will be filled with the hundreds of other guests and will typically cost you money). With #15, you get views of Hanalei Bay and the mountains, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 TVs, a DVD player, a washer/dryer in your cottage, free wireless internet, and enough room to stretch out in. And the best part: you won’t have to do anything in front of a bunch of strangers.
Wouldn’t this be a great place to bring your family? Wouldn’t this be a great place for you to stay this holiday season? Don’t you want to call and book it now?
If you are planning on visiting Kauai over the holidays and need a nice vacation rental home for your whole family, I have a recommendation for you. Consider staying at Anahola Aloha Beach House on the East side of the island. You will only be a short jaunt from the North side of the island where all of the fun happens. Plus, you will absolutely LOVE this rental. Let me tell you about it.
To start off with, this rental has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a pull-out couch for extra guests. This means that this rental can sleep 11 people comfortably, and there is plenty of space if you want to bring the kids and place sleeping bags on the floor.
Speaking of space, this place truly is spacious, and I’m not just referring to the vaulted ceilings! There are two master suites and a media room downstairs, each having its own TV with DVD player for late night movies and group hangouts. And then upstairs has the fully equipped kitchen, living room, and dining room, each with a view of the beautiful Anahola Bay! In fact, if you are up for a walk, you are just a short hike from the bay itself. So you can spend your days combing the sand and spend your evenings watching the bay from your lanai.
Don’t want to simply lounge on a chair to watch the ocean? Well, that’s fine. This rental has a hot tub, allowing you to sip a cool drink while sitting in hot, moving water while you enjoy the view. After you finish with the hot tub, you can come inside and sit down to dinner, a dinner you can make yourself in the large kitchen complete with every appliance you will need to make a spectacular meal. (And if you are the type of cook who loves counter space, you will simply drool over this kitchen.)
Need table linens and dinnerware? They’re provided. Need a washer and dryer to clean sandy clothes? They’re provided. Need a vacation home that sleeps 11+, is a short drive to Kilauea and Kapaa, is a short walk to the beach, and that starts at only $3000/week? Well, this house provides that. All you have to do is rent it.
When you are looking for a vacation rental, what things are most important to you? Is it a large television? Close proximity to hiking trails or the beach? Enough bedrooms to sleep 6-8 people? Internet access?
Well, for me it is all of those things. I want to truly relax in comfort when I rent a home, no matter where I am. And if you are the same way, then you will love Hale Luana, a vacation rental home in Haena.
Hale Luana is a large vacation rental that is comfortable and right on the beach. That’s right – the backyard is literally the sandy shore of the ocean. In the front yard, there is a large plot of beautiful green grass where your family or friends can play touch football or throw frisbees. And there is a large patio/deck/lanai furnished with chairs and a table, so you can lounge in the sun while enjoying the scene.
On the inside, this three bedroom – two bath house is fully equipped for your needs. First of all, the basics of the house are all there. Both bathrooms have showers, so you can vacation with just your family or invite a second family along and each use a separate bathroom. The rest of the house is fully furnished with comfortable beds, teak and bamboo furniture, and enough space for a large group to be comfortable. The kitchen is also well stocked with appliances and a marble countertop.
Additional amenities that you might enjoy are the high speed internet access, cable TV with DVD/VCR/CD player, gas grill, and outdoor shower to rinse off after a beach adventure. This beautiful and spacious home sleeps eight and would be ideal for a large family or group of friends. Plus, at only $4,500 a week for all of that, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal on the island.
I’ve mentioned before that hotel rooms here cost a fortune, especially if you want a nice room or a room with a view. But condos and houses for rent cost a lot less and give you all of the freedom and privacy you crave. Today, I want to talk about Sealodge H4, a one-bedroom townhouse in Princeville.
With only one bedroom and one bathroom, this townhouse isn’t extremely large, but it is well worth it for the amenities and the price. For one thing, Sealodge H4 us located on the bluff, so you will have a great view of the ocean from every room of the house. And there is a lanai (patio) out back that faces the bluff’s edge, so you can sit outside by the hour and watch the waves play in the sunshine.
Of course, who would want to be that close to the beach and not be able to get there? Luckily, this property has a trail that leads to the beach, so you can go snorkeling or swimming at your leisure. If you don’t want to get salty but you still want to get wet, there is a pool nearby where you can spend the afternoon relaxing. Other amenities include a tv, dvd player, stereo system, washer/dryer unit, and a fully equipped kitchen for your private use.
It’s like having a home away from home, but you are close to glorious beaches, scrumptious restaurants, shopping centers, and everything else Princeville has to offer, including a championship golf course! And what is the price for this great vacation getaway? Well, it’s only $875 a week, the same price as staying for two nights in a nice Princeville hotel.
So when you come to Kauai, don’t waste your money on a tiny room next to a thousand other tiny rooms. Rent a vacation home and enjoy a relaxing vacation.
Would you like to visit Kauai and stay in a place where you have privacy and an amazing ocean view? Well, I recently visited Puu Poa 208, a vacation rental in Princeville, and I think it would be just perfect for you.
This specific vacation rental has two bedrooms (plus a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room), two bathrooms, and two lanais, so you could vacation with just your family or you could bring some friends along. The house itself is beautiful and comfortably furnished with granite counter tops, warm tones, and tasteful pieces that provide function as well as fashion. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and warm wooden cabinets, not to mention the amount of counter-top space you can use to cook with. But wait – there’s more!
The amenities of this Puu Poe unit are top notch. From free high speed DSL to TV/DVD access in the living room, the tech side of your stay will be covered. But what if you want to go have some fun? Well, there are beach towels, snorkeling equipment, and beach chairs included with the house for your use. There are also tennis courts on-site and a pool if you want to avoid the salt water. And if you want a bit of the beach without all of the tourists, there is a private hide-a-way beach pathway for you to follow.
This is a luxury vacation rental only a short distance from the beach, a perfect spot for visitors and tourists. And considering the fact that a hotel room on the island can cost you upwards of $450 a night for one room, spending $1,050 for an entire week at this vacation rental is well worth it, especially when you consider it can sleep 6+ people!
When you come to Kauai, I know that you will want to save some money. After all, vacations are expensive and you’ll want to save up for more important things like surfing lessons or nice dinners out with your loved ones. So here is an option for you if you want to stay in Princeville and experience all that the North Shore has to offer: Puamana 1C.
Puamana 1C is a vacation rental in Princeville off of Wyllie Road. With two bedrooms, two baths, and enough space to sleep 6 people, this is a great home for a larger family or a group of friends. Plus, unlike hotel rooms which run $200-$600 a night per room, this vacation home is only $1050 for the whole week!
Now, you might be thinking that $1050 for the week isn’t THAT much less. But let’s factor in a few details. For instance, most hotel rooms are set up for two people. And, if you have kids, some rooms will fit up to four people. But after that, you’ll need a second room. So, for a family of 6 staying on Kauai in a hotel for a week, you’ll be paying $2800-$7200.
Do I have your attention now?
Well, then I should also mention that most hotel rooms are the size of small bedrooms. But with a vacation rental home, you’ll get two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining area, a living room, and a patio. Talk about having a bit more space.
Of course, I should let you know that saving money isn’t the only reason why you should choose Puamana 1C for your vacation. In addition to the spacious interior and the inexpensive pricing, this home is also packed full of amenities like DSL internet, a TV, a DVD player, a stereo, a fully equipped kitchen, a pool, a washer/dryer unit, and a large BBQ on the back patio (called a lanai on Kauai).
So if you want a comfortable and inexpensive place to stay on your vacation, think about choosing Puamana 1C. It really is worth the stay.
If you and your significant other want to find a home away from home on your trip to Kauai, then I might have the perfect spot for you. Sealodge E4 is a smaller condo on the island with only one bedroom and one bathroom. While most condos will cost you a fortune for a bunch of extra space, this condo is spacious enough for 2-4 people and is perfect for a honeymoon trip, anniversary surprise, or romantic getaway. And it’s only $800 a week! Try finding a hotel room for that.
But that’s not the only way this condo surpasses a hotel room. Think about this: how many people stay in a hotel every day? For a large hotel, there are hundreds. And everyday you are in a hotel, you see these people and they see you, in the restaurants, the lounges, and on the elevators. Most of the time, you can even hear your neighbors through the walls! Don’t you want a bit of privacy?
And lets talk about space. When you rent a hotel room, you are getting a couple hundred square feet at most. Usually the room is tiny, with only enough space for a bed, a dresser, and a bathroom. But with a condo, you get a full house to yourself with a private room, bathroom, living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, lanai (patio), and even a backyard. Not to mention the fact that this particular unit (Sealodge E4) has a shared pool and free cable tv.
Now lets talk about the view. Many tourists have told me that they love hotel rooms because they are high up and have a great view. Well, that’s not always the case. Usually, if you want your hotel room to have a view, you have to pay a bit more. One visitor told me that she paid extra to be in a hotel room with a window and then ended up facing other buildings instead of the ocean. And there is always the chance that you will be in a hotel room that is on the second or third floor. Not a great view from such a low vantage point.
But with this condo, you will be located right on Kaui’s coastline. You’ll see the Kilauea lighthouse, expansive reefs, and a full view of the ocean. Why? Well, this property was built right on the ocean bluff in Princeville. And, because its in Princeville, you will only be a short drive away from great shopping, excellent restaurants, spa services, Hanalei Town, and several beaches and hiking trails. The list of things to do in this area is endless, and you will be close to it all.
So start planning your romantic getaway today and keep Sealodge E4 in mind when you do.
Did you know that, for only $950/week, you can stay in a luxury villa of Kamalii? It’s true. Villa of Kamalii 4 is a three bedroom, three bath villa in Princeville that comes equipped with all of the amenities. Need more information? No problem!
This new townhouse is not only located in Princeville, one of Kauai’s most popular places, but it is situated right on the Makai golf course, making it a hotly sought-after property. The complex around the townhouses is gated, meaning that it is safe and secure for visitors. Plus, you will have a view of the greens, cascading waterfalls, the mountain range, and white sandy beaches as you look out across the north shore.
Inside, the luxuries just keep piling up. From the basics of a 42” LCD television with DVD player and free internet to the detail work of elegant chandeliers, granite countertops, and Koa wood cabinets, this house is nothing to scoff at. In fact, there are two master suites, equipped with king-sized beds, flatscreen tvs, full bathrooms, marble countertops, full length closets with mirrored doors, and private lanais (which are like patios). One suite even has a whirlpool bathtub. And villa 4 has a kitchen full of equipment, a living room with more space than most hotel rooms, and enough space to sleep 6+ people.
Now lets discuss the outside. Yes, this villa is on the golf course, but that’s not the best part. A 30 second walk from the door gets you to a communal swimming pool, hot tub, and bbq area. A bit more walking will get you to the Princeville Shopping Center where you can purchase gifts, buy groceries, visit the hot spots, and eat at a few great restaurants. There are also nearby tennis courts and the greatest beaches on the island. And since Villa 4 provides you with all of the beach towels, chairs, mats, snorkeling gear, and boogie boards you could want, your time at the beach will be well worth the trip to the island.
Can you see now why spending $950 for seven days in this luxury villa is better than spending the same price or more on a tiny little hotel room? And if you bring some friends and split the cost, it won’t cost you much at all. So come and visit us on Kauai. You’ll be glad that you did.
Want to stay somewhere that looks and feels like home? Well, you could always stay home. OR you could come to Kauai and stay in one of our nice vacation rentals. One of the best rentals, Pali Ke Kua 236, has an interior that screams comfy. It’s perfect for a vacation getaway.
Amenities for this specific vacation rental include free high speed internet, a TV with DVD player, a washer/dryer unit, and a fully equipped kitchen. The home looks out onto the ocean and there are great views of the local golf course as well. Plus, if you want some privacy, having your own private residence on the island is a great idea.
There are windows everywhere, so you will always have a great view. And this place is perfect for inviting another couple along to share in the adventure. There are two master bedrooms with two full private bathrooms, so each couple gets their own private suite. The rest of the house is laid out to provide space, comfort, and convenience.
If you and your spouse want to get away from it all and bring some friends with you, this is the perfect location to visit. Plus, at only $150 per night, you can’t afford not to stay in this beautiful home.
If you are planning on stay on the north side of the island to avoid any construction traffic, then I have a few ideas for you about where to stay. I highly recommend a vacation rental, like Mauna Kai 8A, because they end up being cheaper than hotels and provide you with privacy, your own kitchen, and a lot more freedom.
Mauna Kai is a series of condos in Princeville where tourists can come and stay the week for around $1000. If you are bringing your entire family or vacationing with another couple, this seven day stay will cost you far less than a couple of hotel rooms. Plus, you get a fully furnished home away from home to use while you’re here and free wireless internet for your computers.
I personally like condo 8A in the Mauna Kai series because there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a sofa bed for extra bodies. Two bedrooms provide enough space for a family or two separate couples vacationing together. And two bathrooms means that no one will ever have to fight over bathroom time during your stay. The beds are soft and comfortable, and the bathrooms both have showers as well as the typical bathroom accommodations.
The living areas are also nice and arranged to provide an open feel. The kitchen has a lot of counter space, so cooking any meal is easy. Plus, it is fully equipped with everything you’ll need to make food at home. The living room and dining room have both been decorated to be modern but comfortable, giving enough space for all visitors to the house. And there is a lanai with seating for everyone and a working BBQ for grilling up fish or steaks.
The condo is nestled into a lush, tropical landscape, so you will be reminded of the beauty of the Garden Isle whenever you peer out a window. And since the condo is located in Princeville, you have quick access to beautiful beaches, shopping centers, great restaurants, luaus, and any number of fun activities. You won’t have to travel far to experience the best that Kauai has to offer.
There is a great condo in Princeville that I think any visitor will love. Plus, it is priced amazingly well at only $900 a week, which is far less than a hotel in the area! So, here is some information about Emmalani Court 322 that will make you want to pack a bag and come straight to Kauai.
First of all, the price should convince you. Where else could you get an entire house with a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and a roll-away bed, two bathrooms, a beautiful living room, and a lanai with a view of the ocean for only $900 a week? That’s a great deal anywhere you go.
Secondly, privacy is worth its weight in gold. When you stay in a hotel or a resort, there are dozens if not hundreds of other guests surrounding you at all times. There are people in the hallways, in the restaurants, and in the public areas. There are even hundreds if not thousands of people on the beaches! So if you want a bit of privacy and a place where you can enjoy a family dinner or a romantic dinner in peace, then a condo is your best bet.
Lastly, this condo has some wonderful amenities. First of all, there are the basics from a washer/dryer to a ton of kitchen equipment. But then there is also Internet access, a community pool and barbeque, a jetted tub in the master bathroom, two televisions with DVD players and VCRs, an amazing stereo system, and air conditioning for those humid days. Who wouldn’t want to stay in this house?
Have I convinced you yet? Well, then come to Kauai and see the condo for yourself. It’s just waiting for a few good visitors.
Okay, if you and your family are going to be staying with us over the Christmas holidays and you want to see everything Kauai has to offer from Christmas events to water sports, then you need to find a great vacation rental. That’s where I come in. And I can tell you that, hands down, the best rental for a family of four is Puu Poa 102 off Ka Haku Road in Princeville.
This beautiful two-bedroom home has a king-sized bed for you and two twins for your kids. It was recently updated, so everything is new and perfect for tourists. Let’s take a pretend walk through the house, shall we?
First of all, the living room is perfectly decorated for comfort and spaciousness. With a large flat screen television and a substantial DVD library already stocked, you might have a hard time leaving the house. The kitchen is also well designed, with a center island for additional counter space and all of the appliances and equipment you’ll need to cook in instead of eating out. This is perfect for a family on a budget who cannot eat out for every meal.
With two bathrooms, you will not have to fight over the shower, and with two lanais you will have more than enough room to relax with your morning cup of coffee or tea. In addition to these practical details, this vacation rental also includes a shared pool, a shared tennis court, high-speed internet, and a panoramic view of the ocean. That’s right! This home away from home is on the bluffs overlooking the beautiful waters of Kauai. So you will never be far from a spectacular ocean view.
All in all, this really is the perfect place for a family of four to stay. The price is reasonable, at only $1,200 per week the last time I checked, which is much better than a stay at a hotel with their limited amenities. Plus, you will get to eat meals together and watch movies together in your own place. Sometimes togetherness is worth its weight in gold.
I heard today from a couple friends who came to the island for last Sunday’s wedding. They stayed in a vacation rental that I recommended, Malolo Cottage, and they wanted to let me know how their stay went. Their reviews were glowing! Here are the details.
I recommended Malolo because of its charm, its size, and its price. With regards to its charm, the cottage is a smaller rental with a ton of character. Georgia and her husband are both creative, and I knew that this cottage would inspire them with its down-home feel and cozy nature. Plus, they told me that they didn’t want anything too big, since their plans involved being gone everyday with some new activity or wedding plan. The cottage’s studio layout was perfect for their needs and offered far more amenities than a hotel room.
Speaking of amenities, what the cottage lacks in space, it more than makes up for in comfort. There is a TV, a full kitchen, ceiling fans, a washer and dryer, high speed internet, vintage Koa furniture, an indoor shower as well as an outdoor shower, and a BBQ for outdoor cooking. Georgia’s husband LOVES to BBQ, so he definitely had a great time making every meal out on the patio. On the very first day of their stay, I introduced them to the local fish market, and after that they literally ate every meal at home, other than a few lunches out with the wedding party.
The price was only $850 a week, which fit perfectly into their budget. And it allowed them to stay for the full week without having to leave early. That was a huge bonus since they love to experience new things and they had never been to Kauai before. Staying the week allowed them to be involved in every aspect of the wedding, as well as getting a few days off to see the sites, visit the landmarks, and experience mountain tubing! (I just had to recommend it after I went the other week. Too much fun!)
When they called me from home, they simply couldn’t say enough good things about the cottage and the whole visit. In fact, they want to come out again, staying in another cottage or condo and seeing even more of Kauai. I, of course, volunteered to be their tour guide. They are both very fun people and it would be great to get more time with them.
Since we were just talking about a whale watching trip to Kauai, I figured now would be a great opportunity to discuss where you would stay while there: The Tides. Wouldn’t it be great to have a vacation rental overlooking the water, giving you the chance to whale watch from your bedroom window?
I think so.
If you want a great place for whale watching and south shore fun, then The Tides is the perfect vacation home for you. With large windows in every room providing you with ocean views and with a short path down to the beach from the backyard, this home is truly the perfect whale watching experience. Simply bring your binoculars and enjoy the view.
But of course, there is a lot more to this house than a view of the ocean. With three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and an extra queen-sized daybed in the living room, you can bring your entire large family to the island or take a “couples trip” with a few friends, filling up the house with laughter and fun. The Tides has an open layout and approximately 2500 square feet, which is perfect for a large group. And since the high speed internet is free, you can even bring some work associates along and make it a “working trip” to remember. Talk about a great conference room!
However, keep in mind that, because of the private property location, the wonderful views, the beachfront nature of the house, the beautiful lawn and lanais, and the amazing indoor features, The Tides is pricier than your typical Kauai condo rental. This tropical getaway is going to run you around $429 a night, which won’t be affordable for some families. On the other hand, with several couples or work partners going in together on the expenses, you are sure to have an easy time collecting the money required.
Enjoy your stay!
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?
