Recent Kauai guest reviews

This property is fantastic. Everything was as advertised in the listing. We loved sipping our morning coffee on the balcony, listening to the waves, and watching the sea turtles. The oceanside pool was a lovely spot to relax, and being walking distance to Poipu Beach makes this property a great home base for a vacation in Kauai. We would definitely stay here again.

This place is absolutely spectacular! The decor is beautiful, everything was spotless, and it felt just like being at home. One of our favorite parts was the thoughtful welcome touches. The local snacks, the freshest fruit we’ve ever had, and the traditional Hawaiian flower leis made us feel so special from the moment we arrived. I recommend this place without hesitation! If you’re looking for a true 5-star experience, this is it. Come relax, enjoy the incredible hospitality, and experience the beauty of Hawaii just like we did. We can’t wait to come back!

The resort and location of condo were excellent. It is very close to parking, and the view is amazing!

Kauai is easiest to plan by shore, with Waimea Canyon State Park on the west side, Hanalei Bay and Kīlauea Point on the north shore, and Poipu Beach Park anchoring south shore beach days. Build your stay around the regions you want to explore most, then leave room for slower town stops in Hanalei, Kōloa, or Kapaʻa.

Plan your Kauai getaway

Kauai is best planned by shore, with canyon overlooks on the west side, north shore bays and wildlife refuges, east side town stops, and south shore beach time all shaping the trip. Kauai vacation rentals work well for families, couples, and groups who want access to Waimea Canyon State Park, the Nāpali Coast, Hanalei Bay, Poipu Beach Park, and Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge.

As you compare homes, think about which shore best matches your daily rhythm: north shore scenery, south shore beach access, east side convenience, or west side outings. Each home is unique, so review listing details for parking, kitchens, pet policies, WiFi, laundry, outdoor space, beach gear, and seasonal access notes before you book.

Things to do in Kauai

Looking for things to do in Kauai, HI? Start with the island’s defining canyon, coast, bays, beaches, and wildlife refuges, then plan each day by region so you are not crossing the island more than you need to.

Waimea Canyon State Park

Waimea Canyon State Park is a vast west-side canyon park with overlooks, ridgelines, and red-earth scenery that gives Kauai one of its most recognizable landscapes. It’s a strong first-time visitor outing for photographers and travelers planning a west-side day around scenic stops.

Best for:

Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park

Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park is a rugged north shore wilderness known for steep sea cliffs, remote valleys, and the dramatic coastline many travelers associate with Kauai. Treat it as a major adventure icon, with guided boat or air experiences serving as easier-planning alternatives for visitors who are not hiking into the wilderness.

Best for:

Hanalei Bay

Hanalei Bay is a crescent-shaped north shore bay framed by mountains, surf, and a small town. It works well for travelers looking for a classic north shore beach day with an easy transition into Hanalei for food, browsing, or a slower afternoon.

Best for:

Poipu Beach Park

Poipu Beach Park is a south shore beach anchor with accessible beach time, family-friendly pacing, and a central location near Poipu’s resort and dining areas. It’s a practical choice for travelers staying on or exploring Kauai’s sunnier south shore.

Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge

Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is a north shore nature stop with ocean views, seabird habitat, and the historic Daniel K. Inouye Kīlauea Point Lighthouse. It pairs well with a north shore day around Hanalei or Kīlauea when your group wants wildlife and scenery without a full hiking plan.

Where to eat in Kauai

Kauai dining is easiest to plan by shore and town. Hanalei works well for casual meals, coffee, and post-beach stops on the north shore, while Poipu clusters dining around south shore beach days and resort-area evenings.
