3 Best Tips for Hawaii Vacation Rental Owners

Dear Best Hawaii Vacation Blog visitors,

Our post today is written for the people who are doing everything to provide their guests with your Best Hawaii vacation, namely the owners of Hawaii vacation rental homes or condos. When you had a closer look at our About Us page of this blog, you read about our many years in the Hawaii vacation rental business. The following information is for all the vacation rental owners, whether on Maui, Kauai, Oahu or the Big Island, who want to improve their vacation rental business.

3 Best Tips for Vacation Rental Owners to make your Vacation Rental business a big success!

1. LONG DISTANCE with VONAGE at an affordable rate

With more and more inquiries coming in through our own homepage and from our listings with the big directories in the vacation rental industry like vrbo.com and A1 vacation.com, we were facing not only long distance calls within the USA and Canada but also calls to Europe, Japan and Australia. The long distance calls became an expense issue. This is when we heard about vonage.com. At that time we had already broadband Internet access for our computers and thought we'd give it a try. It is unbelievable how much money Vonage calls can save you when in the vacation rental business. All long distance calls within the United States and Canada are free for your flat rate of $24.99/mo. It helps so much, when you talk to a potential guest and are at ease about the time you are spending on the phone providing more rental information. It makes you relaxed and your guest happy! A lot of the International Calls are extremely cheap too. No MCI or AT&T can beat those rates.

Visit Vonage for more information.

2. ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS for your Hawaii vacation rental reservations with PAYNET SYSTEMS

The more inquiries you will get for your Hawaii vacation rental home, the bigger the chances are that potential guests want to pay with their credit card. Personal checks work fine within the United States but as soon as you get inquiries for your rental from abroad, accepting credit cards are the way to go. Otherwise, you might lose some good rental business to other rentals which accept credit cards. Just one little warning here, whether you take a check or a credit for the vacation rental reservation, make sure that you had the guests sign a contract which states clearly your cancellation notice. You want to protect yourself and not having to face a sudden cancellation with having to return the deposit money. Banks can charge a lot of money for you accepting credit cards. Paynet System does not.

Visit Paynet Systems for more information.

3. Affordable WEBHOSTING for your HOMEPAGE

The majority of Hawaii vacation rental owners still don't have their own website or homepage. They depend on listings with vacation rental directories. We actually recommend to have one. Admitted, it takes some time till your vacation rental homepage will show in the search engine results of Google, Yahoo or MSN. Look for a website designer (we did ours ourselves which worked well for us but takes lots of time for designing and learning the trade) who really knows what he is doing with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) meaning designing your homepage, so it will come up in SE results. It's not the fancy sites which come up in the top of Google search, it's the ones which are best designed in regards to SEO. So don't just ask the webmaster for his portfolio but also ask where the sites come up in the searches. Best is to pay some extra money for having the webmaster transferring the files to your local harddrive. Dreamweaver is a great program to do your changes with. Anyways, long story short, whether you take care of your vacation rental site or a webmaster does it, you will need an affordable but reliable webhost. We have been with 1and1.com for many years and have 3 sites hosted at $7/mo.

We hope Hawaii vacation rental owners found this information useful for making their vacation rental business more efficient and successful. Many Happy Rentals, Pua Hawaii Affordable Vacation Rentals

Will Hawaii Vacation Rentals Benefit from New Super Ferry?

This post is written by Julie, owner from Ideal Vacation Rentals Blog

There has been much controversy surrounding the Hawaii Superferry, scheduled to start service July 1, 2007, between the islands of Oahu, Maui and Kauai with added service to the Big Island in 2009. Arguments opposing the new ferry range from environmental issues associated with the harbors, possible travel of invasive species from island to island, concern over the saftety of the seasonal humpback whales and the potential for illegal drug traffic to move between islands. Information available on the Super Ferry Web Site shows that these issues are being addressed, and also the state senate bill approving an Environment Impact Study to go ahead, will also address these problems.

My question on this blog is Will Hawaii Vacation Rentals benefit from the superferry?
It is very likely that the locals might use the new super ferry more than tourists to the islands. Imagine if you are a crafts person, and live in Oahu, Maui or Kauai. The new super ferry will enable you to load up your van with all your goods and travel to one of the neighboring islands to attend craft fairs and swap meets. You probably will not choose to stay in a hotel because of the expense so chances are you will decide to search Hawaii Vacation Rentals, and rent from an owner for a more affordable accommodation.

If you are a trades person and work is slow on Kauai, the ferry will enable you to put all your tools and equipment into your vehicle and take a job on Oahu, where there may be more opportunities for work. Perhaps your job will take a month or more so you may search for Oahu Monthly Vacation Rentals for great rates. Many local families like to get away to a different island for their vacations. The ferry will enable them to put their luggage, surf boards, pets, baby seats, cooler and other vacation necessities into their car with no airport hastle or picking up a rental car at their destination. Renting from an owner provides affordable accommodations on Kauai, Oahu, Maui and the Big Island.

It may just be that the Hawaii Super Ferry will stimulate the local economy more than benefit tourists. A reason for this is the cheap interisland flights now available through Go, Hawaiian and Aloha airlines. Most tourists are only on the islands for a couple of weeks so may opt for a flight over a longer ferry ride. There are of course the snowbirds who come to Hawaii to escape the cold winters of Canada and the Northern US. The new super ferry might appeal to these "Kama aina" tourists, as they will have more time to explore the other islands. More than likely these snowbirds will opt for Hawaii Vacation Rentals over hotels for accommodations on the islands.

We, Pua and Keoki at Best Hawaii Vacation Blog, think that tourists will like and use this new way of interisland travel. It's different, offers new scenery and is soooo relaxing! When you see the island of Maui from Kawaihae on the Kohala Coast, just like you could touch it, one can understand that travel by boat comes to mind immediately. Too bad that it will take another 2 years, till Kawaihae Harbor is ready for the Super Ferry.

Let us know what you think about the Hawaii Superferry. Mahalo and aloha, Pua Kohala Coast Vacation Guide

KohalaCoastWeb blog content is written my Hawaii lovers Pua and Keoki. We were running our own successful Hawaii vacation rental business with top Google ranked websites till 2006.

When to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, lava flow Kilauea

If you consider a Hawaii vacation on the Big Island in order to watch the hot lava of a live volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park like Joe Duck told in his recent Big Island vacation trip report, well, you might have to think again, unless the hot lava is not on your top priority list.

John Hibberd and Josephine Howarth traveled 10,000 miles from England to Hawaii to see lava. The two visitors seemed to think their arrival the previous week at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was poorly timed because they didn't get to see flowing lava. Having lived on the Big Island for many years, there were always times of poor or no lava flow. We always felt kind of sorry for our Big Island vacation rental visitors from all over the world when Kilauea was not spitting fire fountains and lava rivers. But guys this is mother nature (or Pele the Goddess of the Volcano)! No prediction can be made.

This time though it seems to be different. Currently, lava is no longer flowing from the Puu Oo vent, and it will likely remain empty for a few weeks, if not longer, Poland said. Geophysicist Mike Poland hopes visitors realize just what exciting events are happening, even if no lava is coming from Puu Oo and creating its trademark steam plume. Based on past performances, the lava will likely flow again.

Read more on recent and future lava flow at Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National at West Hawaii Today article 'Eruption Pattern changes'

In any case, when the lava starts flowing again, we recommend night time visits but pay close attention to the signs of the Park rangers and take plenty of water and variety of clothes - ocean front is extremely hot and one gets dehydrated from walks to lava flows easily - whereas at 3000 ft elevation of the Hawaii Volcanoes Park, it gets quite cold when the sun has set. Believe us the visit will be an experience of a lifetime, with or without lava flow. Aloha, Pua Hawaii Big Island Vacation Guide

p.s.

Nearly forgot to mention that the stop of Kilauea's lava flow has a big advantage for the residents and visitors in Kailua Kona and the rest of the west coast...no vog (sulphur fumes from the volcano lingering over the coast!), just clear, blue skies everywhere! Enjoy this rare event!

Big Island Vacation Trip Report 1

Mahalo to Joe Duck from Online Highways for his Hawaii Big Island Trip Report.

For me the big “surprise” of Hawaii was how relaxed and uncrowded it was, even during Spring break, *except* in the Honolulu area surrounding Waikiki Beach. A little research after our trip of a few years back told me that almost all Hawaiian tourism happens in the few square miles of Honolulu right around Waikiki Beach, the stretch of beautiful white sand and surf that curves in a gentle crescent around the surf side of Honolulu. Pearl Harbor was also fairly crowded, though even these “busiest” parts of Hawaii were easily manageable.

I think the kids remember the high rises, beach, and trinket shopping in Honolulu the most but my wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Keauhou Bay Resort, an “Outrigger” Brand Hotel about 10 miles south of Kona on the big Island. Our first room was too low and with a bad view but they relocated us to higher floor where we enjoyed a great view of the surf and swaying palms. Hawaiian hotel lobbies are often in the open air in a patio like setting, and that was the case at the Keauhou Bay. The restaurant also was “outside” but under a roof, next to a nice small pool and within view of the surf. The immediate area was a sometime home of King Kameahameha, the dude who unified the islands (sometimes with brutal force), but is still celebrated as one of Hawaii’s great historical figures. A recreation of his small house is still on the grounds.

the Keauhou Bay Resort Hotel was somewhat isolated from the big groups of resorts and hotels located at Kona and at Waikoloa. Kona appeared to cater more to the “middle class” where the huge resorts at Waikoloa tend to cater to the wealthiest visitors to the big island. Based on our short visit to Waikoloa the resorts there seem to spend a lot of time “recreating” Hawaii at the resort grounds and pools rather than having you experience it a bit more directly on the beaches and the small city of Kona. However if you want to be pampered more you’ll probably want Waikoloa places.

The big Island is not nearly as big as I’d expected - you could drive completely around it in 5 hours 20 minutes using the main Hawaii Belt Road that circles Hawaii (this is pretty much the key main road on the big Island, though there are a few other big roads in Waikaloa area.

Links to some key attractions of Hawaii:

DO NOT MISS the historic native village at Honaunau a US National Historic Park. This is a “must see” to understand Hawaii before colonialism. A beautiful recreation of a native polynesian village with interpretive information.

Kealakekua Bay is where Captain Cook first landed. He was greeted by Hawaiians peacefully and left, but then returned and was killed. The monument area offers excellent snorkelling as part of a *great* full day adventure that was the highlight of our Hawaii trip. No special skills required though it is a bit physical unloading and loading the boats on the car and into the water:
* Rent Kayaks and snorkelling equipment at one of the places south of Kona. We used “Kona Boys” and they were nice.
* Drive to the put in area at Kealakekua Bay. There were some folks hanging out there to help put in and take out for tips, but we just did it ourselves.
* Kayak out to near the monument. You can take out on the rocks north of the monument and then snorkel the reef around there. Lots of fish, great “drop off” to deep water.
Keep an eye out for Dolphins, or even whales. Dolphins are most likely in the mornings and evening.

Hilo is Hawaii’s largest city but not nearly as big a tourist destination as the Kona area. However our drive along the Puna Coast offered some of the most scenic views of the trip. At the end of the road is a great fish and burger cafe, and you can walk from there to the black sand beach that used to be among the world’s most famous until the area was overrun by Lava from Kilueau. Now you’ll see the beach in the process of eroding away into black sand again and note the coconut palms planted all around by a local. Although technically you could hike to Kilauea from here it is many miles away, not recommended, and could be dangerous.

Kilauea Volcano - Walking right up to the red molten lava flow, and seeing a lavafall shooting into the ocean were, for me, a personal “life’s great moments” kind of adventure. Eruption updates.

Kona Coffee: Be sure to do one of the many coffee tours offered just south of Kona at the small coffee plantations. Our 40 minute tour showed the trees and the process. Also it was “free” (though you should give the guide a nice tip) and including sampling several Kona blends and taking away some free avocados from their trees.

Yes, there is a lot more to note about Hawaii, but I need to move on to some new destinations. We’ll do more Hawaii later….

We invite all our readers to join our Hawaii Trip Reports. Write a short trip report about your Hawaii vacation on Oahu, Kauai, Maui or Hawaii Big Island or Molokai and Lanai. Hawaii visitors would like to hear where you stayed, island, hotel or vacation rental, and what you did on your Hawaiian vacation. Please, email us your report. When approved, your Hawaii trip report will be published immediately. Mahalo and aloha Pua Hawaii Kohala Coast Vacation Guide

How to have a great Big Island Vacation and Save Money

Have a great Hawaii 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.
