Luxury Vacation Home on Poipu Beach I was invited to a cocktail party at this luxury beachfront vacation home on a recent trip to Kauai . Well, it was absolutely cruel and lovely at the same time. It was cruel in that I can’t afford a daily rental rate starting at $1,500, but it was lovely to dream of staying there. I thought you might enjoy taking a peak at this luxury home too. We can all dream together. Prepare to sigh. A private pool and hot tub with an oceanview. Sigh, sigh, sigh! I wouldn't mind waking up to that view. Would you? The cocktail party was hosted by the nice folks at Kauai Vacation Rentals who offer a wide range of vacation rentals to suit any budget. They even offer properties that better fit my budget, like this cute garden view, one-bedroom studio that rents for $85 per day.

Have you heard that perky song that goes “Take me back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii”? In case the song isn’t ringing a bell yet, take a look at this link to a YouTube video with the Joni James version of the song. Capt. Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay Have you ever wondered where is this song-inspired place called Kealakekua, Hawaii? Well, it’s a small town south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. See this link to a Google Map indicating Kealakekua . Kealakekua has an elevation of just over 1400 feet above sea-level (per Wikipedia ), but it is rather close to the Pacific Ocean. So, picture it as an elevated, hill-side town in the shadow of Mauna Loa. Another claim to fame for this Hawaiian town is the nearby Kealakekua Bay that’s well worth your time to visit on your Hawaii vacation. It’s a beautiful bay that’s full of history. It’s also one of the top snorkeling spots in Hawaii. See my post on planning a visit to Kealakekua Bay . © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
