'''Maui:''' We’ve stayed on Napili twice, Kaanapali Beach once. Great place to go for a first trip. This is busier and you might find more to do on this island. The Hana road is a must-do drive and so is Haleakala. If Sara and I go back again we’ll hit Maui. Kaanapali has a long path along the beach that connects a bunch of shopping and hotels. http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/hawaii/maui/west-maui Napili the most affordable? '''Kauai:''' We’ve stayed on Poipu Beach a bunch. This island is quiet and has the rainiest spot on earth. They filmed several movies on this island including King Kong. There are a few touristy beaches but you can find some very secluded ones since the island is less busy. If you want more peace and quiet go here. http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/hawaii/kauai/south [http://www.vrbo.com/178792 A beautiful 4 bedroom house for $1100/week?] '''Oahu:''' I’ve only stayed here once, and it’s super busy. Pearl Harbor (Arizona), Hanauma (sp?) Bay and the North Shore are good places to go. '''Molokai:''' If you want super seclusion try this island. It’s an old Leper colony that has some hotels on it. I’ve never been here but it looks interesting. '''Big Island:''' This island is huge and the most rugged. You might like it, I want to go some day. Regardless, if we went again we’d find a place from http://www.vrbo.com. You can find some private condos in resorts that are better than the condos that the resort offers to the public.
