About Us

Absolute Hawaii has been providing superior vacation rental accommodations to visitors to the Hawaiian islands since 1996. Owned and operated by Ingrid Carvalho, a 5th-generation kama'āina * islander, we have tastefully married traditional Hawaiian hospitality and ambiance with top-of-the-line modern conveniences from the beginning. Today, we remain true to our original premise–consistently resisting the temptation to provide volume over quality.

Each and every vacation rental home, beach front estate, holiday villa, bed and breakfast establishment and condo accommodation offered has been carefully scrutinized to make sure it meets Ingrid's exacting standards. Due to her intimate knowledge of every property represented by Absolute Hawaii, the visitor to Hawaii is assured that each accommodation is as represented, ensuring a wonderful vacation experience for all members of the traveling party.

* Kama'āina (pronounced ka-ma-EYE-na) is the Hawaiian language word for a long-term resident of the Hawaiian Islands. Literally "child of the land," it derives from the words kama, meaning 'child', and āina, meaning 'land'.

Absolute Hawaii luxury vacation homes is a vacation rental listing site and is not a realtor nor does it sell, manage properties or engage in real estate transactions. We act as an intermediary between vendors who list their properties on our site and guests who rent the properties. Therefore, all pricing terms are determined by the individual vendor and are subject to change.

All Absolute Hawaii rentals are subject to varying minimum night requirements, typically a 30-night minimum.

Rental Rates do not include taxes, cleaning fees, booking fees, or security deposits. These charges are additional.
