where is the best place to take a family of 5 in Hawaii? I need a villa or condo on the beach, which island is the best, don't know very much about Hawaii, but would love to go

I feel that Maui is the best island for a family vacation. . the most to do, a large inventory of condos,and beautiful!

My favorite condo/villas are the Kapalua Villas.

Aloha!

Linda- Welcome to fodors! You question is really way to big to be answered. why don't you type family in the text search box and Hawaii under subject, then find. This will give you tons of recent responses to this exact question. From there we can answer the more specific questions that you'll have! happy hunting!

We take our kids to Oahu every year and rent a house on the beach on the windward side of the island. This way you are out of the hustle and bustle of Honolulu/Waikiki but all that the city has to offer is only 30 minutes away. There are so many things to do on Oahu, you can choose to be busy or spend your days just sitting on the beach. Do a google search for vacation homes in Kailua and Lanikai.

I agree with the post re: Kapalua villas. The best, perfect for a family, worth every penny.

I agree with Tani....this is a broad-search kinda question. But as for lodging....try www.bnb-hawaii.com.
