Because that s just the way you are, you ve already decided that your upcoming vacation will take place on the green, luscious, lovely island of Kauai in Hawaii. The only things you ve yet to pencil in are the exact details of your accommodations. You d like to be nearby a handful of tourist sites, but you d also like to enjoy some privacy at the end of the day (or when a nap attack threatens to set in). The organized, time-saving, and basically smart thing to do would be to reserve yourself a vacation rental in the heart of one of Kauai s most beautiful regions. Hint: consider Koloa.

For you, a recently refurnished, tastefully decorated town home located

in the heart of Poipu resort area should do the trick. This is the sunny, dry, southern side of Kauai, and its features couldn t be more ideal for creating the kind of vacation you seek. The average temperature is 78, the trade winds are at your service, and you ll be within walking distance of beaches, shopping, restaurants, golf courses, and historic landmarks.

If this doesn t sound like the makings of a fine getaway, then you re a pretty tough one to please. Most people would find lodging that is named Place of the Gods to be quite acceptable, especially when you take into consideration the breathtaking view of Shipwreck Beach. Don t worry, there aren t

actually broken-up vessels strewn about this stretch of shoreline, so nothing will impede your enjoyment of the smooth sand and gentle surf.

Spend some time in the water, as you probably don t usually get to snorkel, swim, and float during a usual day at the office. Acquaint yourself with some friendly fish, take a few pictures to show your jealous friends later on, and order a pina colada and sip it as you thread your toes through the pearly white sand. It ll taste a little better that way.

For more scenarios that will later serve as images for your relaxation techniques (remember the cocktails-on-the-beach the next time you re stuck in traffic), you won t have to try very hard.

Charter a boat to do some whale watching. Go for a stroll through the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Book a hot stone massage at the nearby spa. Invite your partner out to the lanai in time to watch the sun go down. The choices are both endless and endlessly impressive.

You ll be glad that you chose Kauai because it has a little bit of everything, just as Koloa has a little bit of all that s good about Kauai. It s like you ve taken a large scale project (going to Hawaii) and scaled it down to a manageable level (staying in one of Hawaii s best vacation rentals in a prime region). Good job, you. Every morning as you

greet a new day, you ll feel perfectly justified in congratulating yourself for your hard work.

And it really wasn t that hard. It s fairly easy to check out the vacation properties that are available, just go online, look at the stats, and ogle the pretty pictures. There will certainly be a handful that will jump out at you, and the hard part will be narrowing it down to one lucky home that gets to welcome you into its walls.

We all have our own little likes and dislikes when it comes to vacationing, so don t be shy about going for what you really want. A Polynesian d cor might make you smile or make you squirm, so check it

out beforehand and you ll end up happy.

Grills, internet access, ironing boards, and any other amenity you can imagine tend to be pretty standard for most Koloa vacation rentals, so prepare to feel pampered and to dread the day of your return to normal life. Ignore that feeling if you can, however, and enjoy every minute of your holiday. You re lucky that you re able to venture out to such a blessed locale, and the fact that you re taking a little time to properly plan things out is a good sign.

In other words, your trip is going to be magnificent, and you deserve it. Book your Koloa Vacation Rental, pack up the essentials, and wave goodbye to your

worries for a few days. Hawaii here you come.
