Kauai Condo Rentals - Beach Resort Condo Rentals

Many people visiting Kauai, which is the smallest of the main Hawaiian islands, prefer to stay in a Kauai condo rental. Because the population in this island is relatively small (only 60,000 people reside in Kauai), hotel accommodations are not as plentiful as they are on the other more populated islands. Both tourist and commercial areas are few and far between. However, there are many Kauai vacation condos available for tourists who want to explore this fascinating and beautiful island. And Kauai condo rentals are spacious and usually offer several bedrooms in addition to family living areas.

In addition to beautiful beaches and a warm, tropical climate (temperatures in Kauai average in the mid 70s all year long), Kauai offers both canyons and breathtaking waterfalls. It is a perfect vacation spot for romantics, nature enthusiasts and families.

Kauai is considered to be the oldest of the main Hawaiian islands. As is the case with all the islands, Kauai was formed by a volcano that researchers believe erupted some 10 million years ago. This volcano, Olokele, which once rose over 10,000 feet above sea level has now eroded to half that size with two separate peaks. Olokele is no longer an active volcano.

At the foot of Olokele is the Alakai Swamp that leads to the Waimea River, which is the longest river on all of the islands. The river runs through the 3,000 foot Waimea Canyon, often dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."

In addition to the natural beauty of the mountains and canyons, Kauai is home to some of the world's most beautiful waterfalls located on the Na Pali coast. Sports enthusiasts visit the Na Pali coast for kayaking and hiking, although kayaking in Na Pali is not for beginners. The water current in Na Pali can be erratic, and kayaking can be either a peaceful ride or a harsh, physical challenge. For this reason, kayaking is only available during the summer months. But those who are physically fit and experienced at this water sport will enjoy the ride through caves, valleys and smaller waterfalls.

In addition to a tropical terrain featuring mountains, waterfalls and caves, Kauai also boasts some of the most beautiful outdoor gardens in the world. For this reason, the island is often referred to as "The Garden Island." In addition to the many gardens and nature preserves, Kauai has many private beaches, perfect for those who like to enjoy the Pacific without enduring huge crowds.

Those who like privacy and tranquility will love Kauai and all the island has to offer. Because "tourist traps" are few and far between on this island, Kauai condo rentals are the ideal accommodation for anyone visiting this island. In addition to offering privacy, Kauai condo rentals contain amenities such as kitchens and laundry facilities that one does not find in a hotel as well as televisions, DVD players, internet connections and telephones. Choices range from luxurious accommodations with several bedrooms, to cozy abodes.
