Vacation rentals in Kauai
Kauai is Hawaii's oldest and greenest island: the Na Pali Coast's cathedral cliffs, Waimea Canyon's red gorges, Hanalei Bay's perfect crescent, and waterfalls around every corner — with a strict small-town feel preserved by design.
Best time to book
April–June and September–October; the North Shore's big surf and rain arrive in winter, while Poipu stays sunny year-round.
Common rental types
Oceanfront condos · North Shore cottages · Poipu resort villas · River-valley homes
Getting there
Fly into Lihue (LIH) with direct flights from the West Coast. One main road loops most of the island — a rental car is essential.
