Alright, so you decided to take that long sought after trip to Hawaii, but instead of just staying for a couple of days or a week, you’ve decided to stay a month or maybe even three. There are many out there who do this very thing which is why vacation rentals are often sought after here in Hawaii.

Consider the price of $150-$300 a night for a nice room and then multiply that by 30 and that gives you what you would pay to stay at an average state of the art hotel here in Hawaii and that doesn’t even include tax, separate bedrooms, a full kitchen and the other amenities that you can find in a private vacation rental condo.

A vacation rental condo on the the other hand can range anywhere from $65-$145 a night depending on whether you are looking for a one bedroom or two bedroom rental. In either case you get the private feel of your own place for a short time during your stay in Hawaii, and over time save a little extra money.

So now on to the question: Where To Look For A Vacation Rental In Hawaii?

Here’s a few places that I recommend and have even used when helping out readers, listeners and family members who have visited Hawaii over the years.

• VRBO - Vacation Rentals By Owner
• Hawaiian Beach Rentals
• ClearStay.com “Vacation Rentals You Can Trust”
• VacationRentals.com
• Craigslist Hawaii

Note: When searching out a vacation rental in Hawaii remember that there is a Transient and Excise Tax 11.96%, usually some sort of cleaning fee, and a deposit required to book the unit. Also make sure and read the info regarding smoking as most places now in Hawaii will not allow smoking in the unit or even in some cases on the property.

Overall if you’ve decided for a longer than usual stay, a vacation rental is your best choice to help save some of that hard earned money and make your Hawaii vacation more enjoyable!
