Hawaii or South America? Something else?

[Nathan Gesner]

I'm looking for recommendations for a future STR. Would prefer responses from people with actual, personal experience.

Requirements:

1. Single-family residence, not a condo or timeshare

2. On the beach

3. Cash flows.

I'm only interested in something that can pay for itself and make enough cash flow to pay for me to visit a couple times a year. Where have you found success? Maui? Florida? Oregon?

Thanks in advance.
