If you own property in Hawaii can you deduct expenses for a visit to check up on the property?

I have often heard the tale that if you own property on Hawaii you can deduct expenses (once a year) to visit and check up on the property. It didn't really get high on my meter until this years' tax bill and now I'd like to know if it is true. And if so, would it apply to a timeshare, and how does the deduction work (I assume on Schedule A)?
