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.
