If you prefer to stay closer to your home-away-from-home, you'll find you're in the center of island life. Restaurants, beaches, shopping, hiking…it's all in easy reach. Some highlights of the east shore, referred to as the Royal Coconut Coast, include Kalapaki Beach where you can swim, play beach volleyball, grab a shave ice or a cold beer at Duke's Barefoot Bar, watch the cruise ships come in, and stroll the fun beachfront shops. Enjoy a luau at Smith's. You might enjoy a paddle up the Wailua River, the scenic viewpoint at Opaekaa Falls, a trip to the Kauai Museum, or strolling the large selection of shops and restaurants in Kapaa town. A rental car is recommended, but possibly not necessary for your entire visit, unless you plan to venture farther afield. Public transportation is not widely available, and taxi cabs are extremely expensive. We recommend that guests reserve a rental car for their visit. Since you'll find many opportunities for shopping, dining, or beach-going within walking distance if you are staying on the east shore or the south shore, you may wish to use a rental car for only a part of your stay, on those days when you'll be sight-seeing farther afield. Your rental is protected by the damage waiver fee you paid. If you should accidentally damage something during your stay, YOU MUST REPORT IT TO US or it is not covered, and you will be charged the cost of repair or replacement. Please be sure to report any accidental damage to us promptly to insure we do not charge you. Note that lost keys or garage openers are not covered by the damage waiver, nor is any damage done in the course of activities that are illegal or in violation of your rental agreement.
