About Hawaii Hideaways Inc.

Anne Pawsat-Dressler
President

With a degree from Yale, a shrewd grasp of marketing and a gift for customer relations, Anne Pawsat is living her Hawaii dream on a quiet hillside in Maui. She founded Hawaii Hideaways Inc., a service-intensive business based in Kula that matches top-echelon leisure travelers and corporate clients with idyllic rental homes. Anne’s success comes from perfect timing and the exceptional customer service skills needed to satisfy a new trend in luxury travel: the demand for personalized attention, unparalleled privacy and a choice of properties that match or surpass the luxury of the guests’ year-round homes.

Prior to her career in arranging for unforgettable vacations, destination weddings and corporate events, Pawsat earned a bachelor’s degree with high honors from Yale University, where she studied behavioral neuroscience. Before heading to Hawaii, where her sister, Joan Pawsat, is a Harvard-trained architect, Anne streamlined computer operations at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter’s midtown Manhattan office, produced a documentary film, and saw to the million-dollar auction purchases of clients at Christie’s in London meanwhile extensively traveling the world.

Her travels throughout Europe and Central America gave her insight into the ways of upper-echelon travelers. "Our guests are very wealthy, successful people who have homes just as nice or nicer than those we offer,” said Anne. “They expect exceptional surroundings and usually treat the rental home as they would their own.” Thanks to Anne's long-standing record for service and client satisfaction, she has been named 2006 Condé Nast Traveler "Villa Rental Specialist," one of 3 for the United States and the only recommended agent for the state of Hawaii!
