Lori,
Thank you so much for suggesting PKK 105. It was a “Wonderful” condo to enjoy our vacation in. The view was unbelievable! We were impressed with the unit being stocked with all the amenities. That made it so nice, not having to worry about needing anything. My husband said i did a really good job choosing it. The sunsets were spectacular!! If you know the owners, tell them we think they are very lucky to be able to enjoy and share such a beautiful place. Mahalo, Gene and DeAnna Grover
It we ever return, we would love to stay in condo 105!!!

When traveling to the beautiful island of Kauai, consider a Kauai vacation rental to experience the “home away from home” feeling. As the 4th largest of the Hawaiian islands, Kauai has been the most popular with filmmakers due to it’s lush foliage and amazing waterfalls.

North Shore Kauai vacation rentals offer homes that are custom-designed for guests’ preference for space, setting and aesthetics. Whether relaxing near the pool or sunning on a deck, privacy is a constant companion. Sit back and watch the surf or participate in numerous activities offered on Kauai. Discover that the north shore area has rainforest attributes with tropical gardens emitting scent from dew drop petals. On the Na Pali Coast, cliffs rise 4000 feet above the ocean.

Featuring so much more than the typical hotel, vacation rentals are equipped with everything found at home to make each visit personal. Fully-equipped kitchens allow guests the freedom to eat in if desired.

For friends traveling to Kauai together, splitting the cost is an economical way to experience luxury surroundings both inside and out.

For an island that is 33 miles long and 25 miles wide, find that activities are not far from vacation rentals. Plan at least one tour to learn about foliage, history and how to do something such as deep sea fishing. Kauai also offers zip line tours, helicopter tours, tubing adventures, surfing lessons and more.

If the intent of a Kauai vacation is to relax on the beach, rentals offer guests the opportunity for beachfront property as a priority. Plan a trip to Kauai and enjoy the distinct sound of a ukulele, traditional Hawaiian cuisine and spectacular sunrises from the privacy of a vacation rental lanai.

It would be a much welcomed change to be elsewhere right now.

Hidden beneath a barricade of protective winter clothing – long underwear, hooded snowsuit, scarf, thermal cap, boots, socks and gloves – the most daunting, literal bone chilling task awaits: shoveling away mound after mound of snow.

The grinding thrush of speeding snow plows has become an alarm clock. Days start not with coffee and a warm filling meal, but with donning all appropriate gear in preparation to excavate your driveway. Winter storms have reduced you to a life of reclusion – not always by choice, so fed up you regret looking out windows. Never mind actually leaving home! Yet you have a daily job to attend, as possibly does your spouse. Children must be taken to school.

The shovel rests on a wall neighboring your hibernating golf clubs, each tucked snuggly in their individual covers. You run your hand across the soft leather bag as if smoothing the hair on a pet lion; inside you are roaring with anxiety. After grabbing the shovel you assume familiar stance, angling your body as if to tee off. A practice swing ensues. With eyes closed, imagining the white ball soaring above the fairway raises a smile on your scarf-covered lips. Opening your eyes realizes winter remains more than a month from seceding its frozen punishments to a more forgiving spring – the season of golfers. A vacation, an exotic getaway is the snowless alternative you desire to get swinging.

Princeville, Hawaii would be ideal. Its comfortably warm 80 degree weather with bright blue cloudless skies is perfect for golfing at Makai Golf Club. Their St. Regis Princeville Resort location hosts the recently redesigned par 72 course surrounded by natural beauty as far as the eye can see – 7,200 yards to be challenged and cherished. Evenly playable Seashore Paspalum turf provides foundation on all fairways and greens, more appealing than the slush and ice preventing teeing off back home.

Admit, you would much rather play through 213 yards of gorgeous green accented by alluring curvaceous cliffs, breath-taking mountain views and the sparkling Pacific Ocean than pretend your shovel is an iron while your toes freeze inside you boots. At Makai trade your snowsuit for Greg Norman and Nike apparel found in the gift shop, then hit popular 9-hole Woods Course in relaxed leisurely style.

No waking to snow plows grinding chunks from the pavement, but to the whisper of the ocean speaking seductively through lightly crashing waves. Resting quietly in a spacious and luxurious Princeville-Vacations.com private property, the Pacific will entice you to the window. You’ll look out, anxiously anticipating your next course outing. Like your snowed-in home, you will not want to leave.

It would be a much welcomed change right now.

KAUA’I, Hawaii — The celebrated Princeville Prince Course in Kaua’i is offering a special rate of $100 through the end of October. The course aerified its greens at the end of September, but the turf is recovering nicely and golfers are taking advantage of playing the course at this bargain price anytime before 3 p.m.

“We’re thrilled to give golfers the chance to play one of the best courses in Hawaii and one of the most acclaimed courses in the entire country at this special rate,” said Steve Murphy, Prince Course Director of Golf, PGA. “The aerification of greens is a necessary process that helps promote healthy conditions for turf growth.

The bunkers will be worked on one at a time and are expected to be completed by next spring. The introduction of the new Seashore Paspalum greens will also be done gradually. Seashore Paspalum was recently installed at two other acclaimed Kaua’i golf courses, Poipu Bay and Makai Golf Club at The St. Regis Princeville Resort.

The Prince Course, named for Prince Albert, son of Hawaii’s King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, features majestic views from 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
