Hotels as Hawaii Vacation Homes

Hawaii, of course, is among the top vacation destinations, especially for mainland Americans. It is also among the most romantic spots for weddings and honeymoons. Both vacations and weddings require only temporary lodging, and the islands of Hawaii have plentiful accommodations of all types.

Hotels in Hawaii attempt to provide the best in service, views, and access to recreational activities. A few are extraordinary, and have worldwide reputations, such as, the Ritz Carlton, and the Four Seasons. On Maui, a unique hotel is set in the lush seclusion of Makena--the Maui Prince. The serenity of the Makena countryside is mirrored in the Asian meditation garden. Every room opens to the stone paths, waterfalls, and quiet corners of this tranquil garden. In addition, the hotel is the only major structure in the area. The Pacific Ocean lies in front of it, and 10,000-foot Haleakala is a dramatic backdrop. The world-famous golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., are nearby.

Other Special Vacation Homes

Rentals are abundant as Hawaii vacation homes. Timeshares, condos and houses are available on every major island. Consult Hawaii real estate agents for details and guidance as to weather, services, shopping, and recreational opportunities.

Hawaii is justly famous for its cottages nestled in rainforested valleys or overlooking the vast Pacific. If privacy and tranquility describe your perfect Hawaii vacation homes, consider a cottage in a fabulous Hawaii locale filled with tropical fruits and foliage. In a variation on timeshares, a private residence club in Kihei, Maui, offers permanent ownership of a condo for a specific period every year. Many owners of Hawaii homes rent them part-time, but might be receptive to an interested buyer. Resorts at such places as Kapalua, Maui, have condo units for sale, and real estate for Hawaii vacation homes is in prime locations.
