Imagine lying on a flawless beach, watching the stunning blue water lap lazily at the sand while the sun gently kisses the landscape.
Imagine hiking up to the top of a summit and looking out over the breathtaking ocean view and seeing other magnificent islands in the distance.
Now imagine walking over the beach to your own private residence, unlocking the door, and wondering why you used to settle for staying in crowded hotels.
Several individuals realize their dreams through Hawaii vacation rentals.
Instead of staying in a hotel full of tourists, many people instead choose to rent private cottages, condos or vacation apartments.
People staying in these Hawaiian rental accommodations find that they actually have a much better vacation than they would if staying in a hotel.
Vacation rentals in Hawaii come in many shapes and sizes.
The easiest and most common types are condos.
Often luxurious and close to the beach, Hawaii condos can offer you a level of privacy and tranquility that you won't find in a regular hotel room.
Some condos can even be on a timeshare plan, meaning that your investment in the property will buy you a block of time there each year.
Close your eyes and imagine spending your honeymoon in a private home on a beautiful, secluded Maui beach.
Private beach front villas and vacation homes are options in Maui vacation rentals.
If you're looking for privacy and a homey feel, one of these might be just right for you.
While these rental accommodations are a little more expensive, villas can be rented by the night, the week, or on a timeshare.
They come fully-furnished including furniture, dinnerware, and laundry facilities.
If you don't want to stay in a hotel and can't afford a private villa, you might try renting a vacation apartment.
These fully-furnished apartments give you the security and lower cost of staying in a multi-family accommodation while providing you with the privacy of your own apartment.
Apartments also offer fully-equipped kitchen facilities and a chance to enjoy some good home cooking as an alternative to eating all of your meals at restaurants.
Hawaii vacation rentals come in many different packages.
Each and every one of them will give you the vacation experience of a lifetime.
But, beware! You might find that after staying in a private rental cabin, villa, or apartment you'll never want to stay in a hotel again!
