Vacation Rentals

Have you ever considered renting a home for your next visit to the Hawaiian Islands?

Luxury awaits at this oceanfront Kona vacation rental

Hawaii Vacation Rentals, Inc. has been offering vacation homes for over 16 years on the Kona/Kohala Coast of the Big Island.  There are many advantages of renting a home from a professional vacation rental service. There is more freedom than a hotel room as you can wake up in the morning and make your breakfast on your own time, sit and watch sunset from your deck or yard, prepare your own meals if you choose or drive to nearby resorts for fine dining.

Here are some  reasons why I think that now may be the time to buy a vacation rental here on the Big Island:

  • Hotels are hiring: After several years of layoffs the resort hotels are hiring again. In this economy employment seems to be the thing to watch and most of the resorts are hiring now in anticipation of a busy winter season.
  • Prices are low: For example a condo at the Waikoloa Colony Villas (MLS# 235089) just dropped its price to $379,000. The seller paid $540,000 for it back in 2004.
  • Slow season: We have entered a slow period for sales here. Buyers are few. Come winter the competition will heat up.

I have put together a gallery of Big Island Vacation Rental Condos for sale for you. Read entire post →

Kitchen and living room with light hardwood floors and skylight

I have met many local property owners who are always in the market for a good investment property. Some define that as a multi-family property with multiple rentals. I have two short sale opportunities on Kauai’s east side that provide such an opportunity. Read entire post →

Looking for a great deal or a hidden treasure? This Molokai foreclosure is it!

Stairway to entrance of Molokai condo

Private end unit at Ke Nani Kai, #156 (MLS# 342707) located in Maunaloa, Molokai

Most out-of-state buyers visiting Hawaii in speculation of a condo purchase are looking for one that offers short-term vacation rental income. Not all condos are approved for short term rentals and if they are, most likely they are not a popular vacation spot like Ke Nani Ka. Read entire post →

A million dollars buys a lot of condo in Wailea these days—but it won’t put you on the beach.

It will put you in a new, gated, contemporary split-level residential condo, give you a garage, and square footage (up to 2,400), but it will not make the sand your front yard.

Keawakapu Beach

The million dollar price point puts you beachfront in Kihei. Shown: Hale Hui Kai, where a 2 bed /2 bath is listed at $899,000.

Just a few blocks away in Kihei, the million mark invites a bevy of interesting options, some close enough to the ocean to feel the spray and hear the turtles splash. We honed in on everything $800,000 and up, and these seven are among the most compelling options. They’re grouped by location, traveling north to south: Read entire post →
