Grocery Shopping Service for Guests — Photo by Tero Vesalainen from Freerange Stock

We know from many of our previous guests that many of you travel long distances to get to Kauai, then pick up your rental car and drive another fair distance from the airport to arrive at our Vacation Home. Many arriving at rather late hours in the evening. Let us shop for you! This will give you the ability to sleep in, enjoy your first morning in peace. Sit out on the Lanai and enjoy a relaxing first morning in Kauai.

Who really wants to fly across the country – 1/2 way across the Pacific Ocean, rent a car, drive another 20 minutes to our Vacation Home, then figure out where the Grocery store is and pick which of you is to go there late in the evening?

If you don’t do it then, someone you know will need to go in the morning before breakfast or you need to go out to eat. No Longer!

We decided to do something about it and make your arrival a bit nicer and a little less troublesome. What if someone else did some shopping for you, delivered it and placed in the refrigerator even before you arrived?

You will be able to pick from a list that includes: Milk, Butter, Eggs, Yogurt, Bread, Bacon, Breakfast Sausage, Fresh Fruit, Pancake Mix, Tea, Orange Juice & add a 6 pack of Hololulu Beer Works Hop Island IPA for your arrival evening nightcap. This is an add-on service that you can select during the reservation process.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

After Reservation is made we’ll send you our shopping list to choose from,
Pick up to 10 items from the list, enter your name and your booking # on form, &
Email the shopping list back to us.

The Rest Is Up To Us.

During reservation process you will be charged the shopping service fee for scheduling the service, shopping and delivery to the refrigerator, plus the charge for the actual cost of what we paid at the grocery store for the groceries. No Mark-up!

We haven’t forgotten our Coffee drinkers. We have left a free sample of Kauai Coffee at the condo for you all ready to brew. I know coffee drinkers are particular about their brew, so we’ll let you obtain your favorite roast. At My Kauai Vacation Rental, It’s all about the Guest!

Vacation Travel Insurance

MyKauaiVacationRental.com is proud to offer

TRIP CANCELLATION & TRAVEL INSURANCE PROGRAM

Overview

Play Travel Protection is an important way to PROTECT YOUR VACATION INVESTMENT against unforeseen circumstances that may occur before or during your scheduled trip. Travel Protection and Cancel for Any Reason Travel Protection offered by InsureStays via RentalGuardian.com’s integrated platform and underwritten by Nationwide.

8 Top Reasons to Obtain Travel Policy

LOST LUGGAGE – Whether your luggage is lost, stolen or damaged, it could get expensive to replace all the contents, including clothes, electronic devices and medication. Travel insurance could help cover much of the cost of these items.
SOMEONE GETS SICK OR HURT – This might be the most common cause of ruined vacations. If you or a travel companion were to get sick right before your planned trip and you have to cancel, you could lose the full cost of the trip. Or if a medical emergency crops up during your trip and you need to come home early, in many cases there may be no reimbursement available. That’s where travel insurance could come in handy.
FOREIGN HOSPITALS – Your health insurance often doesn’t apply in foreign countries, so you could get stuck paying for an entire hospital stay – unless you have the right travel coverage. This also applies to travelers in different states. Unless it is an emergency, many health policies may not cover medical issues in another state.
EMERGENCY AIRLIFTS – If you need to be flown to a hospital or evacuated from a danger zone, helicopter transport could cost you thousands of dollars. Travel insurance may cover these types of costs.
LOSS OF A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER – Say someone really close to you passes away just before your departure date. With trip cancellation coverage, you may be able to cancel or postpone your vacation in the event of a tragedy.
EARLY RETURNS – If you have to fly home immediately and cancel the rest of your trip, the airline could charge you for your flight changes –even for an emergency. Travel insurance may help reimburse you those fees.
DAMAGED DESTINATIONS – When a hurricane or winter storm closes the airport for days keeping you from reaching the resort you’re heading to, you could lose the cost of airfare, side trips and even what you’ve paid for the resort. Buying your travel insurance policy when you book your trip may help you get reimbursed for these costs.
YOUR JOB GETS IN THE WAY – Even though your trip has been on the work schedule for weeks, what if your back-up leaves the company or you’re offered a new job that starts immediately? Travel insurance may be able to help if you have a cancel for a work-related reason.

If you are planning a trip, now is the time to start thinking seriously about buying travel insurance. Learn More about the options and Get Covered Today!

You do not have to be staying at our Kauai Vacation Rental to purchase this insurance through us.

Vacation Rental Availability Summer 2019

Kauai Vacation Rental

The summer is quickly approaching and everyone is beginning to look for availability and booking their stays in their travel destinations. It is projected that in the month of June the destination of Kauai will have a 72% occupancy level, July will top up to 96% and August 90%.

If you haven’t already booked your stay in Kauai you will begin seeing higher prices and less availability throughout the Island. Since my plans have not solidified on when I will need to travel back to Kauai and work on our new home build, I opened up additional time in June, July and August for Vacation Travelers to stay at our Kauai Vacation Rental. Now would be the best time to schedule your stay to ensure you can get lodging at the time you are wanting to travel.

A Better Vacation Value

As we have written about already, Vacation Rental VS Hotel the Vacation Rental is a better value. For example the Grand Hyatt Kauai in June is offering their King Partial Ocean View Room with Free Internet over $500.00 per night plus another $40.25 per night Resort Fee. That’s at least $540.00 per night for basically a bedroom with a King Size Bed. Next Marriott Waiohai Beach Club is already booked up in June. The Ko’a Kea Hotel & Resort in Poipu still has some rooms available. Their Garden View Room with a total of 364 square feet is booking for almost $400.00 plus their $38.74 per night Resort Fee. This is their “Best Available Rate” with a nightly total about $438.74. Now for our Kauai Vacation Rental rate in June 2019 for 2 Adults is $185.00 per night, no additional resort fee to use the pools, hot tub and other community items.
