Kauai, Hawaii, Vacation Rentals

Kauai Hawaii vacation rentalsT

Kauai, Hawaii, vacation rentals are a great way to take a Kauai vacation on a budget.  We stayed in a three-bedroom vacation condo and cooked our own food. We bought a cooler and packed lunches.  Lodging prices were nowhere near as high as in the Florida Keys or the Bahamas, the alternate vacation spots we considered.

Every afternoon we took a smoothie break--we bought a delicious pineapple, ripened to amazing sweetness, cut it up, and put it in the blender that came with our kitchen.  What a memorable treat! The kids really enjoyed drinking guava juice for breakfast.  We also had popsickle breaks, as you can see in the picture. We bought fish in the local supermarket and broiled it. What a selection!

Just for you, my readers, I have sifted through a LOT of information available on the Internet and have distilled it, to provide you with a good idea of which hotels and condos on Kauai would please you the most. Remember, the shore location is important; the east side beaches generally aren't swimmable (hotels have pools), and the north side has higher waves in the winter, also somewhat more clouds and rain than the south side.

Note: many condos are not air conditioned.  In our two-story condo, the second floor was too hot during the middle of the day in August, so we stayed on the first floor or went out. If air conditioning is important to you, ask about it when you make your reservation.
