A Guide to your Big Island Vacation that will work for you

Aloha Hawaii visitors,

What's on today's 'menu' of Best Hawaii Vacation blog today? It's 'A Guide to your Big Island which will work for you'. Please, keep reading if you own a Big Island vacation rental or if you plan a Big Island vacation sooner or later.

Most of our visitors are aware that besides our weekly Hawaii vacation blog posts, which include vacation articles about all the Hawaiian Islands: Big Island, Kauai, Maui, Oahu and Molokai, we constantly update and improve our Hawaii vacation sites Big Island Vacation Guide and Kohala Coast Vacation Guide. Having called the Kohala Coast on the Big Island our home and having been Hawaii vacation rental hosts for many years before retiring from the business in 2006, that's the Hawaii we know best.

Our Big Island Vacation Guide with exclusive information about the Kohala Coast and beautiful Kohala Coast and Big Island photos, which we and Hawaii visitors took over the years, was getting Google's and thus Hawaii visitors' attention right from the beginning in 2004.

Some time after having created our Big Island Kohala Coast Vacation Guide, we noticed that we cannot pack all the Big Island vacation info onto that site. Exploring the Big Island on vacation, in cyberspace or in reality, is a huge project. Big Island visitors can get easily overwhelmed and lose track of focus. The biggest issue for any Hawaii visitor is to find the right home base on the Big Island from where they want to start their daily explorations. We consider our Big Island Vacation Guide with islandwide Big Island vacation rentals a guide which will work for you, Big Island visitors and for Big Island rental owners!

To tell you the truth there are lots of Big Island vacation sites and blogs out on the WWW. Naturally, our amateur, homemade Big Island Vacation Guide was facing strong competition especially from such big corporations like Homeaway, Alwaysonvacation, Vamoose, just to name a few. As former vacation rental hosts it was kind of sad to watch Homeaway buying out all the old well established rental directories like greatrentals, cyberrentals and even vrbo and thus being able to dictate the highest vacation rental listing prices rental owners have ever seen. Unfortunately, the high annual listing price does not guarantee Big Island rental owners that their Big Island rental gets found among the hundreds of listings and gets booked.

What makes our Big Island Vacation Guide unique?

1. Only affordable Big Island rentals, below $200/nt., get listed.

2. Only individually owned Big Island rentals get listed.

3. Big Island map shows location of vacation rental.

4. Guide displays lots of Big Island vacation info:

Activities, Car Rental, Events, Weather

- Click your preferred Big Island locations.

- See nightly rental rates at one glance.

Kona Ironman Accommodation

If you want to have an experience of a lifetime, come visit Kona Big Island for the 2008 Hawaii Ironman World Championship. We have told our Best Hawaii vacation blog visitors in previous posts what a magnificent spectacle the Kona Ironman is for visitors and participants and even residents. To refresh your knowledge about the Hawaii Ironman, the superlative of triathlons around the globe, go visit our 2007 Hawaii Triathlon article.

When I prepared this post about the upcoming Hawaii Ironman Triathlon Ford World Championship in Kailua Kona October 11, 2008, I found this great personal Ironman review by a former participant. Who else can give you a better picture of this challenging race in Hawaii!

It looks like that 2007 Hawaii Ironman winners, Chrissie Wellington and Chris McCormack are in top shape which they both proved in winning the recent Frankfurt Ironman, where 2,200 athletes from 45 nations were pushed to top performances by 500,000 spectators. In the women's race British Chrissie Wellington missed breaking the world record. Chris McCormack from Australia won the men's race, crossing the finish line in just under 8 hours. The Ironman Frankfurt is rated number two in the world after the Hawaii Ironman. So we can expect a great 2008 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon World Championship!

Get emotional watching the 2007 Hawaii Ironman Men's Finish when Chris McCormack was crossing the finish line.

Got to be fair to the ladies. Watch Chrissie Wellington cross the finish line of the 2007 Hawaii Ironman. Hope this got you guys in the right mood for the 2008 Kona Ironman.



If you want to be part of the 2008 Big Island Ironman race as one of the thousands of spectators, don't wait much longer. Kona hotels are already quite booked for rhe Ironman week starting 10/6/08, and Kona vacation rentals are getting booked fast as well. We recommend to participants or spectators for your stay in Kona for the Ironman to rent a fully equipped Kona vacation rental or condo. You pay the same or less at a Kona vacation condo with kitchen than at a Kona hotel and can save lots of money cooking your own meals at your own kitchen. Visitors from Germany may check here 'Hawaii Ferienwohnung Big Island' for Kona Ironman.

We'd love to hear from you with your special Hawaii Ironman experience. Where did you stay in Kona? What impressed you most during your Ironman day in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island? Share your personal Kona Triathlon Ironman with our blog visitors. Mahalo and aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacations

How to have a great Big Island Vacation and Save Money

Dear Hawaii traveler,

Well, now we are coming full circle with 'entering' home territory of Hawaii Big Island. We happily noticed that our 'How to have a great Hawaii vacation and Save Money' articles found lots of interested readers. The follow-up work with providing more useful vacation links for "Cheap Hawaii Vacation", "Hawaii Luau vacation", "Hawaii Vacations Cruises & Honeymoon packages", "Hawaii vacation condominiums" is still ahead of us. Who missed our posts on Best Hawaii Vacation on the different Hawaiian islands, can find them all here at one glance here:

Now, let's go visit Hawaii, Hawaii the Big Island that is. With our many years of experience in the Big Island vacation rental accommodation business, we are happy to share our insiders' knowledge and our love for this Hawaiian island with everybody who plans his next Hawaii vacation on the Big Island.

Hawaii Big Island is the Hawaiian island of superlatives. The Big Island is not only the largest in the Hawaiian chain and the least populated, but it also offers the biggest diversity of climates (11 micro-climates) and terrain, from dry tropical climate on the west coast beaches - Kona and Kohala Coast - to lush green rainforest on the east coast - Hamakua Coast, Hilo, Puna Kapoho areas.

Your Hawaii vacation on the Big Island will be more than just a beach vacation. So, prepare yourself for a Hawaii vacation beyond the ordinary. We always recommend an entire week for a Big Island vacation. There are just too many things to do and to see, which you don't want to miss once you are on the island. And a little R&R on a white sand between Big Island adventures should be on your vacation itinerary!

First things first, where to stay for your Big Island vacation? The Big Island's fancy ocean front 5-star hotels are on the Kohala Coast, where famous white sand beaches like Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea Beach are located and where the sun shines all year around. You have probably heard about The Hilton Waikoloa Village, which resembles those Maui ocean front resorts like the Grand Wailea with water slide, fish ponds, big guest room towers but...no beach access here. I think the Marriott at Waikoloa Beach Resort and Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel offer the best ratio of price, amenities and beach access of all the Kohala Coast hotels, if you prefer a hotel versus a private vacation rental. Kona Coast hotels are generally cheaper than the Kohala Coast hotels. Keauhou Beach Hotel, King Kamehameha Beach Hotel and Kona Seaside Hotel in Kalua Kona are meeting all the expectations of the budget traveler.

More and more Big Island travelers decide for private, fully equipped vacation rental homes and condos for their Big Island vacation. Rental homes don't only offer you lots of privacy, the option to stay home and cook for yourself but in lots of cases a lot of amenities, like high speed Internet access for your laptop, are included for free in your stay.

With us having lived on the Kohala Coast for so many years, it goes without saying that we recommend vacation homes on the sunny Kohala Coast...white sand beaches are all in an easy 10 -15 minute drive, the Kohala Coast area offers the best access to Mauna Kea summit adventures (one does not need to ski the mountain but star gazing is available to everybody at the Mauna Kea Visitors Center), Kona with Hawaii Ironman Triathlon in October and Hilo with famous Merrie Monarch Hula Festival at Easter are both a convenient 1hr drive away. Even exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and watch the lava flow of Kilauea can be done within a day trip. Why not stay at one of those nice Volcano logdes or cottages for one night!

When arriving at Kona International Airports or Hilo International Airport for your Big Island vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, order your Hawaii Big Island Official Vacation Planner or call toll free 1-800-648-2441. This vacation brochure will help you plan the perfect Hawai'i's Big Island vacation and save money. A great choice is also to buy the 'Big Island Revealed' Book as your travel companion for your Big Island travel.

Bookmark this Big Island page. We will include links on "How to have a great Big Island vacation & Save Money". We, Pua and Keoki at Best Hawaii Vacation Blog, are looking forward to hearing from you with your Hawaii experience or questions on Big Island vacation. Aloha Pua Hawaii Vacation Guide

Happy New Year from The Kohala Coast

Happy New Year from the Kohala Coast

Hope all of you had wonderful holidays and a great New Year’s celebration. Already thought about your new year’s resolution? What about making the so long overdue and longed for trip to Hawaii your 2007 New Year’s resolution?!

When you followed our blog for some time, you know that it’s all about falling in love with the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. You don’t need to have the big bucks for a 5-star Kohala Coast Hotel – OK admitted it would be nice but it is not an urgent necessity – in order to be able to enjoy the beautiful Kohala Coast beaches and resorts. Vacation cottages & homes: nicely appointed, private, fully equipped with short drives to the best Big Island beaches are available by Kohala Coast hosts.

Plan your Kohala Coast vacation for the right time of the year and it will be affordable for you. Once again, be aware that January till March are high season months on all the Hawaiian Islands, including the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. However, April, May and June offer the same beautiful weather, as the Kohala Coast has sunshine all year round (most of the time, no way to guaranty the weather though for any month of the year). Those wonderful spring months when it can be still rainy and cold at your Mainland home, are not only the perfect time for vacation rental discounts but also for Big Island car rentals and airfares to Hawaii.

Got interested? Come visit the Kohala Coast Vacation Rental Guide. Make your Kohala Coast vacation come true in 2007.

Don't miss our Kohala Coast Rental Vacancies for January for Last Minute travel to Hawaii. Aloha, Pua

Here is our New Year's resolution for our Kohala Coast blog...with each post, we will include a photo of a beautiful 'wahine' (in Hawaiian 'girl') from the Kohala Coast. You can find more photos at Wahine Style.

E Komo Mai. Welcome to the Kohala Coast!

Aloha Angela and Mike from Californa,
Sorry for the delay with this message. We were just waiting for our Kohala Coast vacancies from rental owners for December coming in. It looks pretty good for your plans, even for the time between Christmas and New Years, there are still a few vacation rentals available on the beach or ocean view rentals. If you want to save some money on accommodation, you can find great places 10 -15 minute-drives from best Kohala Coast beaches. Save money on accommodations, rather spend it on a great dinner or even better on an exotic luau on the Kohala Coast resorts.

However, remember what I said last time in my post Christmas Vacation on Kohala Coast of Hawaii Big Island. make sure that you have a flight and car reservation before checking for Big Island accommodations. If that is all taken care off, check Cancellation, Last Minute vacancies for Kohala Coast rentals and Big Island vacation homes, vacation cottages, apartments, condos and suites. If your travel dates are flexible, plan your Big Island vacation for the beginning of December when restaurants and beaches will be still empty.

Kohala Coast hotels are preparing all their beautiful Christmas decorations. The Orchid Fairmont at Mauna Lani Beach Resort displays a full size gingerbread house which fills the lobby with an enticing aroma. Who can resist that? One of the most famous Kohala Coast hotels, actually the oldest one, will be missing and will be missed though. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel announced today that they will be closed due to more structural damage than expected from the October earthquake. Quite a number of guests will be accommodated at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. Private vacation rentals might be an option for those who won't be the lucky ones to get a room at Hapuna Beach Hotel.

E Komo Mai. The skies are blue and sun is shining on the Kohala Coast. Kohala Coast rental homes are awaiting you. Come visit the Kohala Coast on Hawaii Big Island. Kohala Coast Acccommodation Guide

Vacation in comfort at your air conditioned Big Island vacation home!

Good News for the Big Island Electricity Supply

You might not think that the following information is important for you as a visitor to the Big Island or the Kohala Coast. Wrong! Actually, very wrong! With Hawaii being one of the states with the highest price for electricity (electricity is still generated the old way by burning fossil fuels!) but on the other hand, air conditioning being badly needed in all coastal areas, more so on the Kona and the Kohala Coast with their steady sunshine all year around, these high costs for electricity (AC!) reflect in a higher rate for your vacation rental home or condo. And who wants to pay each year more for his AC comfort when vacationing in Hawaii?!

New Big Island Wind Farm will be built

This seems to be the way to go. A new wind farm on South Point will be built. Fourteen 1.5-megawatt wind turbines will generate power for more than 10,000 Big Island homes when completed in March 2007. The blades are from India, the hubs from Germany and turbine towers from China. This "United Nations of turbine supply" will be landing at Hilo Harbor during the next few weeks and then heading to South Point for installation in the newest renewable energy facility in the state.

Read more in our Big Island 'West Hawaii Today' newspaper on this new wind farm at South Point. By the way, you find in West Hawaii Today everything and anything about Hawaii Big Island. So, make it your daily read when you want to stay connected with the island you love. Aloha and a hui hou, Pua www.kohalacoastweb.com
