A little about the Big Island...
From serene get-aways to adventurous experiences for visitors of all ages and interests, Hawaii – the Big Island – has everything.
The Big Island is the largest in the chain of islands but it is also the least populated. The 149,000 residents of Hawaii ’s Big Island share a diverse landscape, topography and climate…in fact every climate zone in the State is found on the Big Island alone…11 climate zones in all. From the white-sand shores on the island’s west coast, to the tropical rainforests of the east coast, along with the southern-most flanks of the island – which is also the most south you can go in the USA - you’ll find varying altitudes, temperatures and terrain from lush foliated areas, plantations, rainforests, rolling green meadows to miles and miles where lava flowed, desert areas, snow caped volcano peaks, and even an active-flowing volcano.
The chain of Hawaiian islands are all unique but be aware that one thing they have in common is the climate on the windward sides of the islands which are prone to rain. This is especially true of the east side of Hawaii ’s Big Island where more rain falls each year than the rest of the island. To better illustrate this…when you look at a map of the Big Island, imagine a line down the center from the north to the south…everything on the left of your line (west side of the island) has less rain and more sun than the right side of your line (east side of the island)...which is the tropical rain forest side where the landscape is lush due to the frequent rainfall.
So, where are most of the residents living?Two populated areas are the home to most of the island’s residents: Hilo (east side) and Kona (west side) each with major international airports and ports of entry. Hilo is the Big Island ’s local government seat, as well. The Kona Coast includes the area Captain Cook and is the centre of Hawaii 's rich plantation area. The Big Island ’s busy community of Kailua Kona is both a popular vacation and commercial area. But it is the Kohala Coast that boasts the most dry, sunny weather year round and the home of championship golf courses, world-class beaches, resorts and the famous Parker Ranch which is located in Kamuela (Waimea), neighbor to Aloha Vacation Cottages.
The Puna Coast includes the university town of Hilo, along with Kahena Beach , Kaimu, and Kapoho which are also popular vacation rental destinations on the Big Island.
Location, location, location...
Vacations all start with that special spot to base youself for your comfort and convenience. You know that the Big Island is bigger than other Hawaiian islands combined, with it's 11 climate zones! So, you surely don't want to get stuck spending your entire vacation in one climate zone…especially in the rain. The sunniest spot on the island has less than 10 inches of rain a year and is just minutes away from the best white-sand beaches this island has to offer. It's the Kohala Coast that is reputed to be the “gold coast", and that is where you will find Aloha Vacation Cottages. Kohala is the ultimate destination on the Big Island with beautiful beaches, championship golf courses, resorts, shopping, breathtaking views and look-out points, cosy villages, hikes and much more. Aloha Vacation Cottages is away from the crowded tourist fray, yet not isolated. From here, you can easily get anywhere on the island.
