Hawaii Weather Changes in Summer and Winter

When planning a vacation in Hawaii, you'll need to consider the season in which you plan to come, the island you plan to stay on, and the area you plan to stay in. The reason is because each island is shaped differently, responds to the trade winds differently, and has different wave action in both the summer and the winter. For example, on Oahu, waves are big on the South Shore in the summer and on the North Shore in the winner. The waves on the South Shore usually still allow ocean entry and swimming but when the waves get big on the North Shore the only people entering the water are the surfers. You wouldn't want to rent a beautiful cottage right on the beach only to show up and find out that you can't get anywhere near the water because the waves are 20 feet high. If you have any questions, leave me a comment or e-mail me at Lisa at Hawaii-Lisa.com. I'll tell you what the weather typically is like in the area you're planning to stay.

Rent by owner

If you are considering a condo in Hawaii, always examine who is doing the renting. Several condos on all the islands are rented out by both a management company and by the individual owners of each condo. In a typical situation, people who rent from the management company are not always happy with their rooms, but people who rented directly from the owners are usually thrilled. I believe that owners who rent out their own, condos are a little more invested in them. These condos tend to have many more pictures available on the Internet about them, and once you get there the furniture is nicer and the decor more appealing. Plus, many have a closet full of water and Beach toys for your use.

If you have decided on a condominium, this type the full name in to a search engine and see what kind of rent by owner sites come up. These people probably spend at least one vacation a year in their condo, so they keep it nice.
