"Your Ideal Hawaii Home: Avoiding Disaster when Buying or Building in Hawaii" has what you need to know about the climate, laws, and culture of Hawaii before buying your home. The book details the variety of climate zones on the islands, rainfall differences, issues with bugs and mold, unique property laws, costs of ownership, and cultural differences that challenge people from the mainland US and other countries moving to Hawaii. Your Ideal Hawaii Home describes the large variety of residential housing choices in Hawaii with the authors personal experiences of living in a high-rise in Waikiki, a post and pier house in Hilo, and a resort condominium in Kailua-Kona. The book uses photographs and illustrations to describe Hawaii house design elements, weather differences on each island, and views of living in Hawaii. The best features for a house in the tropics are described along with ways to minimize bugs, conserve electricity, and find an island community that is a fit for you and your family.
