Hanalei Ranked as One of the Top 5 Locations for Luxury Vacation Homes

Recently, The Wall Street Journal wrote an article about the top five spots to buy or build a luxury vacation home. I’ve always been a big fan of the WSJ, so I pay specific attention when they write about my industry!

Hanalei, Kauai

According to this article, the top five locations for luxury vacation homes are:

• Pebble Beach
• San Juan Islands
• Hanalei
• Martha’s Vineyard
• Scottsdale

Thinking About a Vacation Home? Think Hanalei

This might just look like a random list of places to you, but for me it is almost a snapshot of my life! I was lucky enough to “grow up” in Monterey (Pebble Beach). I’d look down on the beautiful Monterey Bay through the Skyline forest everyday on my way to school.

I’ve sailed around the San Juan Islands. I’ve seen the orcas up close and personal! I’ve also vacationed on a few of the islands. Lopez and Stuart are my favorite islands, but Anacortes is my favorite port!

Before moving to Kauai I lived and worked in Scottsdale. There is a lot to like in North Scottsdale. Troon and the Boulders are beautiful! Scottsdale also has some of the best shopping in the world. I tell you these things only because I know these places intimately. They are beautiful. But…Hanalei…heavenly Hanalei. Nothing compares to Hanalei.

If you’re interested in being able to hear the ocean waves, walk to restaurants, swim in warm ocean water, and see spectacular sunsets all from one spot, Hanalei is the place for you! Hanalei is an idyllic beach town…and it’s as good as it gets!
