subject: Kauai Vacation Rentals [print this page] There are many different ways to take in the beauty of the island of Kauai. Kauai offers the visitor everything from posh condos, mega resorts and a variety of island vacation rentals.
I personally visited the island Of Kauai half a dozen times in my lifetime. I have stayed at many of the fine posh resorts that dot this island from Poipu to Princeville Hawaii. I personally prefer to stay at a Kauai Vacation Rental because it is much more laid back and private. When staying at a resort or condo there are a few things you will find that are not available at most Kauai Vacation Rentals.
When staying at a rental cottage in Kauai you will feel the spirit of Hawaii. Much of the Hawaiian culture is lost when staying at a mega resort or condo. These vacation destinations are heavily commercial and sterile. When staying at a rental or cottage. About as Hawaiian as those destinations are that the wait staff wear Hawaiian shirts!
There are many plusses when saying at a vacation rental or cottage in Kauai.
1.The rooms have all the amenities of home. Most all rentals have kitchenettes at least. One of the most expensive things to do in Kauai is to go out for a meal. If you ate in your room you would save about 17 dollars a day per person! That adds up fast and can be a major expense in Kauai.
2.Second most Kauai Vacation Rentals have a host of recreational items you may otherwise have to rent. Wake boards, inner tubes, bikes, canoes, and other toys are usually offered to their quest.
3.You usually at a rental have plenty of private parking. Take my word for it after 9 oclock PM in Kauai you do not want to get caught trying to find a place to park. Most people are home by then and have taken all the good spots to park. You will have a walk to your hotel room or condo if you stay out late at dinner or something.
4.Cost. You can expect to pay at least half what a condo or hotel room costs when staying at a Kauai vacation rental. Rentals and cottages are surprisingly inexpensive when factoring in what your amenities are and your location, Paradise!
