Thanks to steady tropical trade winds, Kaua‘i’s temperatures rarely rise above the low 80’s (with average temps comfortably in the 70’s) and our days are seldom humid thanks to the cooling waters of the Pacific. In fact, during the winter when the temperature “drops” into the low 70’s or – gasp! – the high 60’s, you might even observe some of the locals committing the fashion faux pas of wearing socks with their slippahs! Still, despite nearly perfect weather year-round, most of our luxury vacation homes and Kauai vacation villas include central air-conditioning and individual climate control stations to keep you cool after a day of exploration in the warm Hawaiian sun. Of course, natural air-conditioning comes standard on all of our vacation homes thanks to open-air living spaces, large French doors, and spacious windows letting in the cooling breezes our island is so famous for.

Guests South Shore Villas in Kauai, Hawaii
Shadowed by the rugged mountainous interior of Kaua‘i, the Leeward Coast in the south is drier and more prone to intense sun and warmer temperatures. If you were ever going to need air conditioning on Kaua‘i, it would be on this sun soaked corner of the island. These resort-style properties feature efficient air conditioning units in the bedrooms to make your night’s sleep comfortable, while a large lanai door and ceiling fans providing plenty of cool breezes for the living room. Larger private Kauai vacation villas feature individual climate controlled air conditioners throughout the living spaces and bedrooms.
East Coast

Luxury condos and plantation style townhouses feature air conditioning throughout your fully-furnished Kauai vacation villasrental, while plantation-style rooms in our resort-style properties feature iconic Hawaiian ceiling fans plus central air, sure to keep you plenty cool should you ever need it.
North Shore
As the coolest and wettest side of Kaua‘i, air conditioning is seldom required in the resort town of Princeville on Kaua‘i’s North Shore. The cool breezes off the Pacific do the heavy lifting. Still, if you must be the master of the thermostat, several of the luxury lodgings we offer come with air conditioning units in select rooms, including guest rooms, the master suite, and the living room.
Delight in the Beauty of the Island and the Comforts of Home
No matter which area of the island you choose to stay, or which view you pick to match your vacation expectations, guests who book our air conditioned Kauai vacation villas will find a home away from home waiting that comes with just the right touch of luxury. Many of our air-conditioned vacation houses for rent in Kauai, Hawaii are furnished with a collection of sofas, loveseats and decorative armchairs that provide a great place to cozy up and socialize or simply admire an amazing view. It’s not uncommon for this collection of furnishings to be reflective of an island-inspired color palette, and when combined with wall art featuring island fun and scenery, guests won’t be able to help but be inspired by the great outdoors that lie just beyond their rental.
While every side of the island is packed with the potential for delicious restaurant stops to be enjoyed, when you’re looking to make the most of your visit, the choice is key. Fortunately, your air condition vacation villa often offers up the opportunity for a home-cooked meal. Enjoy serving up a personalized breakfast, lunch or dinner thanks to the inclusion of a full kitchen that’s frequently stocked with utensils and cookware and includes modern appliances as an added convenience. While dining indoors is always an option, those who prefer alfresco dining experiences will love the fact that many of our air conditioned vacation villas include large patios, decks or balconies that are ready to welcome you to the table with a touch of island breeze and a view included.

What to Do
You deserve luxury not just in your new vacation home, but in everything you do outside of your home. Lucky for you, Hawaii does luxury just as well as it does shave ice and food trucks.
If you’re looking for some great food and cocktails, head to the Kauai Grill in Princeville. It has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Pacific, making it a great place for a romantic dinner and for any kind of celebration. The menu includes seared Ono crusted with seeds and covered in a mushroom reduction, and Kauai Coffee-crusted filet mignon. We also love Bar Acuda in Hanalei. It has an extensive European tapas bar and wine list and views to match.
Afterwards, take a stroll along the ivory sands at Hanalei Beach, just outside of Princeville. You can lookout at the sweeping views of the verdant Hanalei Valley drive up to the Hanalei Valley Lookout right in Princeville.
If you’re in the mood for some golf right before your luxurious dinner, hit up the Princeville Golf Course.

This east Kauai trail is listed as moderately difficult and provides outdoor enthusiasts with 3.5-miles to discover and explore. Situated on top of Nounou Mountain, Sleeping Giant is named after the hill on top and what it resembles. Sweeping ocean views are yours for the savoring once you reach the top and for those that are willing to set out early, the reward of an amazing mountain sunrise makes the effort well worth it.
