Here is a Hawaiian vacation destination that is on land next to the beach and away from the crowds that flock to the ordinary Hawaiian beach resorts.

The Hale Maui Apartment Hotel provides more living space for those who once considered a tiny hotel room as the best one could expect in a favorite tourism haven. An “apartment hotel” is a small hotel with larger more spacious rooms like those found in apartments or large condos. Instead of separate owners, all condo rentals are owned by the same person(s). The owner/managers of the Hale Maui Apartment Hotel (Hans and Eva Zimmermann) have lived on the property and tended to the needs of their guests for more than 40 years.

Located one mile north of the expensive Kaanapali Resort area on West Maui and ten minutes north of the historic Lahaina, on the coastal side of Lower Honoapiilani Road, the Hale Maui suites offer an exceptional vacation experience on a beautiful Hawaiian beach.

This white sand swimming beach is down an 80 ft. private path from the budget-friendly Hale Maui Apartment Hotel, West Maui, Hawaii.

Nearby, guests can find five 18-hole golf courses, tennis courts, scuba diving, whale watching, fishing, sailing, horseback riding, train rides, art galleries, grocery stores, a farmers’ market, Lahaina Luau, restaurants and other entertainment.

The Hale Maui has 12 apartment units - each comprised of a spacious one-bedroom condo-style unit that can sleep up to 5 people, a living room, bath/shower, and private patio. All units have a ceiling fan and cable TV, as well as a kitchen with a stove, oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, dishes, silverware, pots/pans etc. The property also provides wireless internet capability, provided your computer is compatible with their network.

There is a designated BBQ area with a grill and an outdoor seating in the Hale Maui tropical garden area that is in bloom year around. An 80-foot private path connects the Hale Maui property to the white sands of its swimming beach.

Free parking is provided for all guests and there are no hidden fees. Coin-operated washer and dryer units are also provided to guests, on the property.

Stop wasting your vacation budget on small overpriced rooms at hotels. And when in Hawaii, consider the Hale Maui Apartment Hotel. While on their website, be sure to see what Specials they might be running.

Located 91 miles west of Rochester, New York and 31 miles north of Buffalo, NY, Niagara on the Lake is on the south shore of Lake Ontario, where the Niagara River spills into Lake Ontario. It can be found just 15-20 minutes downstream (north) from Niagara Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. This tiny village is a popular tourist destination for people who travel into the region every year.

Niagara on the Lake is in a part of southern Ontario famous for its 17 wineries within a 20-minute drive, antiques, art galleries, and the popular Shaw Festival, which is a theatrical festival celebrating the works of playwrights Eugene O’Neill, Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. The Shaw Festival produces several plays each calendar year. You can see their full schedule here.

Rich in history, Niagara on the Lake dates back to 1778. It was founded shortly after the American Revolution and served as a wayside in a vital Military Road connecting Fort George at the mouth of the Niagara River to the military base in Hamilton, NY (Fort Hamilton), which is located 38 miles southwest of Syracuse, NY. The two forts were separated by 213 miles of northern New York territory.

Many of the homes and buildings in this area date back to before the War of 1812 - America’s forgotten war.

The Niagara on the Lake Golf Club, which opened in 1875, is the oldest existing golf course in North America

Niagara on the Lake offers a multitude of Bed And Breakfast establishments and other accommodations from which to choose:

• The John’s Gate B&B is centrally located, just a seven minute stroll from the downtown Queen Street shopping district. Some people suggest that I am not qualified to remark on a Bed and Breakfast I have not visited myself, but one of the awesome aspects of the Internet is that I can tell you about a Bed and Breakfast and point you to the reviews already submitted by people who HAVE visited the B&B themselves. As of today, 186 people have written real reviews of the John’s Gate Bed and Breakfast in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. Google also makes available a number of photos from this beautiful home near the Niagara River. Many of the photos featured by Google are those featured by the proprietors of this fine establishment, but the proprietors offer a few more pictures on their own website. John’s Gate provides four bedrooms, which can be rented: two with Queen sized beds, one King size, and one room with Twin beds.
• The DownHome B & B is centrally located in a quiet area of the Olde Towne area, just four blocks from the downtown shopping district. DownHome has merged the beauty of a new home with the atmosphere of Olde Towne and the growing Wine Industry. DownHome has three bedrooms, featuring dark woods, soft colors and distinct period ambiances. The home also features Sandy and James Down’s personal collection of family antiques.
• The Historic Davy House Circa 1842 has five bedrooms - three of which that offer King size beds, one with a Queen size bed, and the fifth with Twin beds. The Davy House was previously known as the Balkie House and was built by Peter Balkie in 1842, after Balkie purchased the land from the Honorable James Crooks. Shortly after purchasing the land, Balkie built this two-story home with its ample and elaborate verandas. Balkie stayed with the house until the shipping trade moved away from the Niagara River in 1850, then he moved on. This home is located within walking distance of both the Shaw Theatre and the Queen Street shops.
• Via Veneto is located in Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake,  and is situated within a short walk of Queen Street, the Shaw Theatres, Art Galleries, Antique shops, Shopping, Dining, Golf Courses and Lake Ontario. Via Veneto offers three rooms, each of them offering a Queen size bed for guests. The Florence Room, the Verona Room and the Venice Room each bring a touch of Italian elegance to their design and style.

Although we would prefer to give an overview of all the B&B’s located in Niagara on the Lake, that is simply impractical at this time. There are 153 Bed and Breakfasts located in this tiny village, 29 Niagara on the Lake cottages for rent, as well as several hotels to choose from.

The Historic Hayes House in Muskogee, Oklahoma is a beautiful Eastern Oklahoma Bed And Breakfast establishment in the heart of Muskogee Oklahoma. It is located in the “Silk Stocking District” (a term of yesteryear, meaning neighborhoods where wealthy residents who dress expensively reside), just a few blocks from downtown Muskogee, OK.

Local businessman Oscar Hayes fancied himself to be well known enough to run a successful campaign for the governorship of Oklahoma, to be its first governor when Oklahoma became a state in 1907. While Oklahoma was still Indian Territory, Hayes started construction on his new home - a mansion with all of the trappings of a wealthy community leader. Hayes even bragged that on inauguration night that he would give his acceptance speech on the balcony - outside his bedroom - to the good folks of Muskogee.

When the election results were known, Hayes had lost. And except for the legacy of the Hayes House in Muskogee, OKla, Oscar Hayes faded into the obscure history of the great State of Oklahoma.

In 1995, Jim and Brenda Holder found the Hayes House boarded and falling apart. They purchased the home in January of 1996 and began the process of restoring this once great house to its former beauty. For the safety and convenience of its guests, the Hayes House had all of its plumbing and electrical components replaced in 1996. (Use these links to see the Hayes House before restoration and in its current restored state.)

In the newly restored Hayes House, there are two bedrooms available for guests: the Governor’s Suite and the First Lady’s Suite. Both are beautiful rooms, restored to the original design, furniture and layout of the rooms.

The proprietors of this fine establishment are among the nicest people I have met in my life, and they are committed to the care and comfort of their guests.

With television, dvd’s, cable tv and a vcr in each room and wireless high-speed internet, Hayes House also offers fine dining through the day and a swimming pool for those who desire to take a swim. A visit to the Hayes House ensures that your vacation time can be spent living in the lap of luxury, in the manner that potential governors are accustomed to living.
