2010 Summer vacation rentals in Hawaii for the budget traveler

Dear Hawaii travelers,
Did our recent post about 'Finding employment in Hawaii' make you wonder whether you should try your luck finding a job and check things out on your next Hawaii summer vacation? Not a bad idea, if you can make a short notice decision for a Hawaii summer trip. I noticed quite a number of nice Hawaii vacation rentals are still available for early summer in June and later summer August.

Generally, June is a great month for summer vacation in Hawaii, also for those families who travel with kids to Hawaii. If you can choose, decide for June and save money on accommodation, air fare and car rental. Even with taking the economic slowdown into consideration, one of the biggest travel month to Hawaii was and is July, when kids have their summer vacation.

Here is my observation regards 2010 Hawaii summer vacation. Amazingly, most quality Hawaii vacation rentals are booked for most of July but listen to this: The same wonderful rentals are still wide open for August. So if you are flexible budget traveler, forget about a Hawaii summer vacation in July and shift your full attention to getting the best deals for Hawaii accommodations for AUGUST!

How to have a great Big Island Vacation and Save Money

Have a great Hawaii Vacation and Save MoneyDear 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.

How to have a great Oahu Vacation and Save Money!

Save money on your Oahu vacationDear Hawaii visitors,

We are still dealing with the question all Hawaii vacationers ask themselves and the locals which Hawaiian island is the best for their Hawaii vacation vacation! After telling you about best places to stay on your Kauai condo vacation and family Maui vacation rental ideas for your Maui vacation plus how to get FREE vacation brochures for Hawaii, we are talking Oahu Vacation today.

Honolulu International Airport is still the gateway to the Hawaiian Islands, even though more and more Airlines fly direct into Kona International Airport on Hawaii Big Island, Maui's Kahului Airport or Lihue Airport on Kauai. Amazingly 9 out of 10 visitors to Hawaii stop on Oahu for a visit to Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Waikiki has not lost its magic attraction to Hawaii visitors from Japan and the Mainland. And why not stay there for a short Oahu vacation?

Waikiki Beach Hotels offer rates from luxury to affordable. Here are a few advantages for staying at a Waikiki hotel: Hotel shuttles or the public Honolulu bus service take you right to your Waikiki Hotel. If you stay at Waikiki, no car rental is necessary! For touring Honolulu, Honolulu's bus service is excellent and affordable! We took the shuttle from Honolulu Airport to our Waikiki hotel as they told us it's faster than the bus. Well, big mistake as our hotel was the last one in the line of Waikiki Hotels.

Waikiki beach is a nice white sand beach but it can be very crowded. However, Waikiki fancy shops, fine dining restaurants and nightlife attract lots of tourists. For budget shopping, we recommend to take the bus to Ala Moana Shopping Mall. Same applies to restaurants. If you look for affordable lunches and dinners, just walk down a few streets from Waikiki. There are also plenty of condos Hawaii Oahu vacation rental options, if you want to have your own vacation rental place with kitchen.

Oahu vacation is not just Waikiki. Believe us or not but there are miles of white-sand beaches and slow country living with rainbows and waterfalls, tropical flowers and sunsets just 1hr-drive out of Honolulu. Ride the big waves on the North Shore, snorkel a crystal clear lagoon, kayak or sail or just sunbathe on an empty beach. Oahu weather is very moderate with average 82 F and light trade wind breeze blowing. For your best Hawaii vacation, find vacation rental homes in Kailua Oahu Hawaii, Hawaii Oahu rental vacation Waimea or Kailua Oahu Hawaii private home.

When arriving at Honolulu Airport for your Oahu vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, plan your Oahu Vacation with the free vacation brochure for Hawaii Oahu from the Oahu Visitors Bureau or call 1-877-525-6248 (OAHU). This free Hawaii vacation planner is full of information on accommodations, activities, restaurants, car rentals, island maps and more. You can also buy the book 'Oahu Revealed - The ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond' as a companion for your Oahu travel.

How to have a great Kauai vacation and Save Money!

Have a great Kauai VacationHow to have a great Kauai Vacation and Save Money!

Best Hawaii Vacation destination? What do we expect from your best but cheap Hawaii vacation and what are the things you want to do in your vacation? Last but not least, your budget will define which island to go, what to do and where to stay, at a 5-star Hawaiian beach resort or an affordable inexpensive Hawaii vacation condominium. Laid back Kauai, the Garden Isle, might just be right for you...rainforests, cliffs, valleys, swaying palm trees and most impressive, seemingly endless stretches of white sand beaches.

Be prepared though for frequent tropical downpours but these make the island so lush and green. After the downpour, the sun is fast out again and the most beautiful rainbows will be displayed. The readers of 'Travel & Leisure Magazine' have voted Kauai as the best island in Hawaii to spend your vacation 3 years in a row.

Kauai vacation is perfect for the active Hawaii traveler...there are miles of trails through tropical rain forest and along rugged ocean cliffs for passionate hikers, bikers or horseback riders, huge variety of ocean sports from scuba diving, surfing, to whale watching, golf courses from championship courses to affordable local courses invite golfers. We combined on our Kauai vacation our kayak tour on the Wailua River with a hike through rain forest to hidden waterfalls. Won't ever forget that.

With miles of sandy beaches and no resort next to it, Kauai offers lots of quiet spots for relaxation or meditation away from hotel crowds and resorts. When looking for nightlife action, then Kauai is probably not the right place for your Hawaii vacation. Did you know that a Kauai rule is that no building may exceed the height of a coconut tree? So, even on the Kapaa Coconut Coast the height of condo resorts is not higher than 3 or 4 stories.

One can find affordable vacation accommodation on the east coast in the area of the above mentioned town of Kapaa, which is the shopping and resort center. Kapaa has made a great comeback after hurricane Iniki flattened the island of Kauai in 1992. We like the central location of Kapaa for vacation activities, shopping, restaurants and beaches. Resorts condos are offered at affordable rates.

Going further north from Kapaa on the one and only road the traveler gets to beautiful Kauai's North Shore with Princeville Resort as a centerpiece. Princeville Resort includes a luxury Sheraton hotel and 10 condo complexes plus lots of new timeshare golfcourse condos. Hanalei is the laid back center of North Shore life with Hanalei Bay beach attracting families with kids because of the calm ocean. Hanalei is the gateway to the wild Na Pali Coast.

How to have a great Maui vacation and Save Money!

Save Money on your Maui VacationHave a great Maui Vacation and Save Money

Our Best Hawaii Vacation Blog provides you with comprehensive information about all the Hawaiian Islands to make it easier for Hawaii travelers to decide which island they want to visit for their Hawaii vacation, whether they were looking for a cheap Hawaii vacation, coast inexpensive vacation condo Kona Hawaii, family Maui vacation rental Hawaii or a Kailua Oahu Hawaii private home.

Hawaii vacation means to most visitors relaxing on white sand beaches and swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean when the Mainland is haunted by cold or rainy weather. The best Maui beaches are located on the West Coast from Kapalua to the historic port of Lahaina with lots of Maui resorts. South Maui is another beach attraction area. Kaanapali is the big family oriented resort area with about 3 miles of white sandy beaches. Whalers Village, a seaside mall with about 48 shops and restaurants is very popular among all Maui visitors. For budget accommodations, Maui condos in Honokowai, Kahana and Napili (built in the 70s), offer excellent bargains at a great location, in a short distance from Kapalua and Kaanapali resort areas.

South Maui can be considered the driest and hottest area on Maui. So, it’s very popular with sun lovers. Kihei on a 7-mile stretch of white sand beaches provides Maui’s best vacation bargain. It’s just the opposite of a Maui vacation at Wailea 5-star resort hotels like the Four Seasons and the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa. Wailea is the ‘playground’ for the celebrities. Wailea has warm, clear water with lots of tropical fish and year-round sunshine and clear blue skies.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, then Makena might be right for you. You can spend a quiet, relaxing vacation on Makena beach. It’s long ways to drive though to any kind of Maui activities. So make sure serenity is what you want for your Maui beach vacation.

As most everybody rents a car for their Maui vacation (there is no public transportation on Maui!), except from the few visitors who take a shuttle to their Maui resort and don’t move from the beach, unless they get a Mai Tai at the beach bar, a trip to famous Haleakala Volcano in Haleakala National Park is a must.

When arriving at Maui Airports Kahului Airport or Kapalua Airport for your Maui vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, order your free vacation brochures for Maui ahead of your trip or buy the ‘Maui Revealed’ book as your travel companion for your Maui travel.
