Stay with Aloha Condos at the Islander On The Beach Resort. It’s close to the airport, and has everything you need for your vacation. And boasts one of the longest beaches of any resort on the island .
Be sure to check out our other resorts on Kauai as well:
When staying on Kauai, whether in Princeville, Hanalei Bay, Wailua, or Kapa’a I always make sure to take a trip up north. Of course there amazing things to do and see up there but I find that once I cross the first one-lane bridge into Hanalei I immediately relax, slow down and completely get into my vacation. Don’t miss this opportunity.
And drive slowly

If you like to hear a good story while surrounded by beauty, there may be no better choice than a Kauai rentals getaway. No one likes to spin a story more than the Hawaiians. Here are a few to give you an idea of the sort they like to tell.
The Menehune:
The most infamous of all Hawaiian tales is the story about the Menehune. The Menehune are a race of miniature (only three feet tall according to legend) islanders who inhabited Kauai before it was colonized.
There are countless tales about the steadfast nature of the Menehune. Whenever something goes wrong on the island, it is blamed on the Menehune’s mischievousness.
Two marvelous feats of Menehune engineering are the Menehune fishpond and the Menehune ditch, an island system of irrigation. The system’s style of construction isn’t consistent with the style of early Hawaiians.
Some believe that the Menehune migrated to Kauai from the Marquesas Islands around 300 A.D. Others believe that the Menehune never really existed at all. Some even compare the Menhune to the Leprechauns from Ireland.
Pele’s Curse:
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. Her hair forms only when the wind spews boiling lava into streams as thin as a strand of human hair. However, Pele’s hair is not actually a part of genuine Hawaiian legend.
The term was coined by an American geologist named James Dana at the turn of the twentieth century. When winding through the streets of Kauai, you might notice big clumps of moss hanging from the trees. This moss is nicknamed Pele’s hair.
Pele is known for being an angry and vindictive goddess. There is a strong superstition that if you remove items belonging to the island, you will be subject to Pele’s curse and suffer through a string of bad luck until the item is brought back from the mainland.
The Coconut Coast:
The coconut Coast is an area along the east shore that runs from Wailua to Kapaa. It is commonly referred to as the Coconut Coast because fields upon fields of coconut palms were planted by order of Prince Kuhio, and the entire coast was reserved for the royal family. From the Coconut Coast, you can visit the Birthing Stones.
The Birthing Stones are the area where royalty went to give birth. According to legend, there is a stone that chimes like a bell whenever struck. This was the stone that was used to announce the birth of royalty.
If you’re looking for a great story, booking a stay at Kauai rentals is a great place to start.
