Kauai with family in December
 

We are planning a trip to Kauai with our kids (ages 12, 4, and 1 when we go)and my parents, can anyone offer suggestions for villa rentals? We are thinking the Hyatt or Princeville resort rooms may be just as expensive as renting a villa and we would have more room. Hope someone can recommend a website or company to contact.....

dc,
Can't help you with rentals but I know if you do a "text search" on Kauai a lot of Fine Fodor Friends have some great websites they have posted from time to time.

BTW, you may be taking a chance with kids that young on Kauai in Decemeber because you never know when it may rain.
I'd rec staying on the SoShore/Poipu in December.

Check into renting homes. They can be cheaper than staying in the Hyatt or at Princeville.

I saw some great cottages in Poipu on the road to Spouting Horn. Not sure what company has those. I think I saw a Grantham rental nearby.

Agree with the suggestion to stay in Po`ipu for a December vacation with kids. I love living on the north shore here, but our winters can be wet, surf is high most days, and we're typically 5-10 degrees cooler than Po`ipu area.

As for rental companies, Grantham Resorts does a great job focusing on the Po`ipu area, and Kaua`i Vacation Rentals (located in Lihu`e) is the "grand-daddy" of vacation rental companies on the island. You'll be amazed at the number (and variety) of vacation rental properties in the area.

AuntiM, Any idea when they decided to have this year's "Taste of Kauai". June still?

I thought I heard the date was still up in the air and it may be a limited amount of tickets available???
That may be worth a suprise sneak over!
