Kauai Survives Tsunami

Kauai, Travel Tips, Vacation rentals, Weather

Has my Kauai vacation rental been affected by the Tsunami? Kauai experienced very little damage, considering what has been reported on the neighboring islands.

It was approximately 7:30 pm on March 11, when I turned the TV on and got the news that Japan was hit by an earthquake and Tsunami. It was not too long after that Hawaii was under a Tsunami Watch. Talk about scrambling. Well that lasted for a short while before the Kauai Civil Defense called it a ‘Warning’. We now had only a few hours to pack up all of our valuables and evacuate. So things got a bit crazy around here. The roads got busy, everyone working very fast to protect their property. Thankfully, everyone is okay.

Kauai was hit first with 6 foot+ dangerous waves. The areas that were affected mostly by the Tsunami were the unprotected beaches. Freak surges and currents remained in our waters days later.

Kauai residents in the low-line areas were evacuated on Thursday night and early Friday morning. The sirens were ear piercing loud, every hour, until the first waves hit around 3 am. We were fortunate that the evacuation didn’t last too long. While several of the harbors were flooded and a few homes and businesses, the cleanup wasn’t bad, and most businesses are back open. Fortunately, no real damage was done. Kauai experience minor inconveniences and some bad weather, but our island held up pretty well I’d say. Within a day, almost everything was back open again and day-to-day activities commenced. My heart goes out to the people of Japan. May you be blessed with all the love and support during these difficult times.

Eat healthy on your Kauai vacation

Best places to eat, Dining, Things to do

I know how important food is, especially for those on vacation. Forget about the fast food restaurants and think healthy, and eat well. Hawaii is known to have some of the best tasting fish in the world, and if you love fish, you will love the Kilauea Fish Market. A gold mine in my opinion. So if you’re staying on the north shore or in a Poipu vacation rental be sure to stop by the Kilauea Fish Market, located in the historic stone building right off Lighthouse road. It is highly recommended and so yummy, you gotta try it. They have a mouth watering menu that will keep you coming back for more. Talk about ‘grinds’. Fresh fish wraps, organic salads, local plate lunches, fresh island fish poke, local grown meats, and more. My ultimate favorite, seared Ahi poke salad, served with their signature creamy oriental salad dressing. I can never have enough of it. Oh and the staff are always very friendly. Now open 11 pm to 8 pm. It is best to call in your order. They get really busy at all times of the day. They’ll have your food ready by the time you arrive. Otherwise, you can drop in and order. While waiting, browse around. You’ll find a small clothing boutique, real estate office, health food store, hair salon, and ice cream shop shop. No attire is required. Casual dining with covered outdoor seating. What better way to spend your vacation on Kauai. Combine a wonderful Kauai vacation rental and good healthy food is what really makes for a healthy vacation. Relax, eat, and enjoy!

Kauai Beachfront Homes

Vacation rentals

A luxurious Kauai beachfront vacation rental may not be for everyone, but certainly for those who choose to spend the extra money to experience the true beauty of Kauai’s coastal properties. Much of Kauai’s prime beachfront real estate lies along the northern shores, such as Anini Beach, Hanalei Bay, and Haena. These areas are among Kauai’s highly desirable locations, including Poipu Beach, Kauai’s south shore. Each location has it’s own special charm.

Whether you prefer a traditional Hawaiian plantation-style home, or maybe a modern day high-end property, there is something for everyone. Kauai also offers a limited inventory of 1 & 2 bedroom cottage style homes, as well as larger 4+ bedrooms, which is more the reason why one should secure a home in advance. It is best to make reservations well in advance, as Allure Kauai beachfront vacation rentals book up at least 6-8 months out.

On the north shore of Kauai, Pine Trees Beach Villa on Hanalei Bay is considered to be among one of the nicer furnished vacation homes in the area. For larger groups consider, the Hanalei Dolphin Estate . The property is currently undergoing a complete remodel. The remodel is scheduled for completion by Sumemr 2011. It will be better than ever. Other popular north shore luxury beachfront rentals on Kauai are Holo Makani, King Hale, and Banana Beach House.

Poipu oceanfront vacation rentals are mostly along a rocky front. Sweeping ocean views and amazing sunsets are present from almost every room. There are only a few properties that are located along a sandy beachfront. These rocky front locations may not allow for good swimming conditions, but in most cases the property will most likely include a private pool. There are only a very few beach homes on the north shore that include a pool. The prices for these homes are in the luxury price ranges of approximately $1750/night and up.

Each beachfront accommodation in Kauai, Hawaii are privately owned and decorated by it’s owner. Choose reliable resources on Kauai, and let the agents at Allure Kauai be your guide to finding the perfect Kauai beachfront home for your upcoming vacation.
