Staying at a Maui Bed and Breakfast

What do I need to know about staying at a Maui B&B?

Visiting Maui and staying in a bed and breakfast can enrich an already well-planned island itinerary. Where you stay is critical, because most travelers will spend a good portion of time in their hotel room, even if they plan to indulge in nightlife. A Maui Bed and Breakfast (B&B) has a good deal of perks, so it’s an option to consider if you’re seeking a departure from the conventional hotel room or Maui condo rental.

Staying on your Hawaiian Vacation

Question: Where is the best place to stay in Hawaii?

This is not an easy question. It all depends on what you want to do on your Hawaiian vacation. If you want to kick back in a Maui luxury villa and relax with Mai Tais and sunsets, then cruise in Wailea or Kaanalpali. If you are looking for a more affordable Big Island condo rental and want to trip around Hilo or explore Volcano, check out rentals on the southern end of Hawaii. Of course you can stay on the beach in Hanalei for a pretty penny, but many people have created memories on Hanalei Bay that are priceless. Being surrounded by Bali Hai, walking the famed Hanaeli Bay, and soaking in the Hawaiian sun is hard to put a price on. For sun and fun on Kauai, the south side (Poipu and Koloa) are more guaranteed to give you that Hawaiian tan. The Parrish Collection Kauai has some great offerings for Poipu Kai resorts and condos.

Must-Dos on Your Hawaiian Get-Away

Question: What are some must-dos on our Hawaii vacation?

One of the first things I tell people to do on their vacations is RELAX. I know when you are traveling, sometimes it can be a little hard, you want to do everything and see everything. Well, luckily in Hawaii, most of the stuff you have to see or do, is very relaxing. Whether you soar over the islands on a Hawaii helicopter tour, see rainbows of fruity fish on a Maui snorkel tour, or just cruise in a convertible, you will be feelin’ the island groove in no time.

Purchasing Real Estate for a Vacation Rental

Question: We had a question about  Hawaii real estate, we recently went to the islands of Oahu and Kauai. On Oahu we stayed in a hotel and we did all the touristy stuff: Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, the North Shore and the likes. We stayed at the Kauai Beach Resort for a couple of nights and then in a vacation rental on the Garden Island and were very low key. We explored some beaches and trails and ate fresh fish, but mostly relaxed. Our Kauai vacation rental was very homey. We were curious about buying a vacation home. Can you buy portions, like a time share, do locals or investors own them? What are pros and cons of owning one? We would love to be able to come and go when ever our schedule allowed, but wouldn’t mind renting it out when we are not there. Just trying to figure out how to get a piece of paradise! Thanks.
