Tourism being the main industry of Kauai Island, there are a number of rental homes, cottages and condos available here. The upscale rented accommodations generally have amenities like a gym, Jacuzzi, swimming pool, air conditioning, beautiful gardens and magnificent views of mountains, waterfalls or the ocean.

Grandeur marks several country villas available on rent for vacation. They represent an opportunity to experience a modern Kauai lifestyle with traditional architecture. These country villas have been designed elegantly, and quite often they are built in secluded places, giving tourists a breathtaking view.

Fully furnished and well-equipped rental homes on former plantations take one to an altogether different era. There are special rentals available for honeymoon couples or for those who have planned a wedding here.

Rental accommodations are available in Kauai during weekdays as well as weekends. The former may cost you less. For those who visit it for the first time, the area of Poipu is a "must-visit". One can get a rental cottage or villa in this area at a reasonable rate, and enjoy diving, fishing and watching the sunrise, along with turtles and dolphins. Those who like outdoor activities can also go for hiking, or just sit and watch waves on the sand beaches.

Choosing a rental accommodation on Kauai is not difficult. The booking can be done online as well as offline. One can approach the companies offering these facilities directly, or through a travel agent. Keep an eye on discounts which may be offered for some of the accommodations. If someone you know has visited the place before, try and take a tip from him or her, as initially you may find it a bit difficult to choose the right kind of rental accommodation due to abundance of options available here.
