8 Things to Know Before Buying a Vacation Rental Condo in Kailua-Kona, HIKailua-Kona has become a very popular place for second home/ vacation rental condo purchases. The weather is perfect year round so there really isn't an off season. The right condo will have very high occupancy rates all year. Buyers should know a few things before starting their search. 1. On the Big island, condominiums rented for less than a 30 day period need to have an STVR (short term vacation rental) permit.

Maui's Ancient Kalepolepo Fish Pond and Menehune ShoresArchaeological reports date Kalepolepo Fish pond located in North Kihei, Maui to be after AD 1488-1643. They were able to discern this by the pollen found in the coring samples. There are reports that the walls that make the fishpond was built by the Menehunes. Legend says the Menehunes were superbly skilled craftsmen. They were supposedly short in stature and had great strength. Each one of them would be uniquely skilled and would come out at dusk to build something in one night; if they did not finish it in one night, they would abandon it.  Kalepolepo fishpond is about 3 ocean acres. It has been written that fish was gathered here for the Hawaiian monarchy. Reports have noted that repairs have been made through the hundreds of ye...

Offering amazing ocean views, perfect location to build your dream home, and raise a couple horses. A little extra work went into getting the horses, and all the gear that goes along with horses off the property, and cleaning up the property. But it closed this last Friday, I represented the sellers, but worked closely with the buyers, such nice folks.If you have questions about buying Maui real estate on the Northshore, give me a call.
