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.

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.
