I eveyone! I am a Canadian mom of 2. We are looking to come to Hawaii for the winter, but the price of our dollar keeps dropping so it is making accomodations harder and harder to find. Our budget is $1500 for rent. (it used to $2000 then our dollar dropped below 80cents las week YIKES!)
Does someone out there know a place (I can't find anything on the internet...even Craigs list!) that is furnished, with 2 bedrooms, in a good neighbourhood for that price? Or am I just dreaming that is possible?
I would go to khnl.com and click on the homes link. Or go to classifieds.com (honolulu) i just found a place here in honolulu, my suggestions of areas are: Ewa Beach, or Millilani, or Moana Lua Hillside Apartments. Great for family's that don't have to commute and really inexpensive. God bless you on your journey, could you let me know some more info on your home business, ____@____.com

Welcome to our beautiful island.
I do not know any deals, but if I find something I will let you know.
What dates are you planning to be here??
What is the total freedom money maker??
I am a stay at home mother of 4. Married, my husband is the sole provider. There is no budget, just bills and credit card debt. No trips, vacations, etc. just day to day survival.
I would love to continue being a stay at home mom so I am checking out options to supplement our income.
Aloha A.
A few websites to try are vrbo.com and a1vacations.com or vacationrentals411.com - those are some of the bigger sites that would have furnished rentals available. You might find something with 1 BR and a futon sofa in the living room for the kids - if that will work for you and be a little easier on the budget...
Good luck!
Hi,
I am born and raised on Oahu and understand it can be hard to find affordabl places. I own a baby equipment rental on Oahu but have a list of great management companies on my blog and links. There is something for every price range here. However finding a place that is appropriate for kids takes a little help. Here is my link. Aloha!

Finding that budget for "rent" in a "good neighborhood" for a furnished place is going to be hard. It's going to take a lot of searching...
The "good" areas that I'm familiar with are:
East Oahu, Kahala, Kaimuki, Kailua, Manoa...perhaps.
Keep in mind everything here costs more... groceries too.
Perhaps, contact any churches.... and they might have people in the congregations that have "rentals" or might know someone with a house who might rent it out if they need money themselves. Housing here is in high demand, especially affordable housing.
Other than "youth hostels", rentals are high here, in good areas.
Also, you have kids, so you want someplace "safe" and with low chances of robberies etc.
Or, you can try and contact "Bed and Breakfast" places, and negotiate a "rate" for your family, since it would be for an extended stay and for the duration of the "winter season" and I'm sure given the economy with not many people traveling, they might just appreciate having the business... in tough economic times and in a "tourist" destination like this... businesses are perhaps more "open" to negotiating "deals." Know what I mean? It's worth a try...
Or try the Honolulu YMCA's or YWCA's here locally... they have "housing" but I don't know their "rules" or if they accommodate families. They do have websites too.
Good luck!
