The Hawaiian Island of Kauai is a breathtaking place with some of the most gorgeous nature on Earth. It’s no wonder the island is sometimes called the “Garden Isle!” when you’re browsing Kauai beachfront rentals and are deciding which side of the island you should stay on; you might be having trouble deciding which shore is best.
North Shore Kauai
The island’s North Shore is home to popular towns, including Hanalei, Kilauea, and Princeville. Since Kauai North Shore vacation rentals tend to be quite luxurious, they may come with a higher price tag than other areas of the island. It’s also worth noting that the North Shore gets more rainfall than other areas of the island and is a bit secluded, so if you’re staying here, it will take a bit longer to get to the other shorelines.
This side of the island offers both beach destinations and lush forests and mountains, perfect for any type of nature lover. Head into Princeville to see beautiful nature and incredible Kauai dining and shopping opportunities, or if you’re searching for a more laid-back experience, Hanalei is a smaller surfing town with plenty of local shops and restaurants.
East Shore
If you decide to stay on the East Shore, you’ll be near areas like Wailua, Kapaa, and Lihue. This area also referred to as the Coconut Coast, is the most developed section of the island. As such, Kauai vacation rentals on the East Shore tend to be quite affordable compared to other areas.
Those staying on the East Shore will not only have access to the attractions on the shore itself, but they will also be able to get to the North and South shores quickly. It’s easy to get to any attraction or activity you might desire when styaing in one of our Kapaa Kauai vacation rentals, from shopping and dining to biking and hiking or spending time on the beach.
