Good website for Hawaii condo rentals?
 
Hi! I'm looking for a catch-all website for Hawaii condo rentals for a spring vacation. Can anyone recommend one with good prices/good reputation? Am I better off just hitting Priceline or Hotwire? Thanks! :)

(p.s. I'm going to Rome in late summer and posting a similar thread on the Europe boards, if anyone knows a good website for that!)

vrbo.com (vacation rentals by owner-this site is good for both domestic and foreign properties)

To read opinions on a hotel/condo that might interest you, go to tripadvisor.com and look it up.

Awesome. Thank you!

You can try www.hawaii-hotels.com
Scroll to the bottom and where it says VISIT, click on Oahu condos or Maui condos or whatever island you want.

The prices seem quite high, but the site gives a lot of info about the condos.

If you see some you like, you can probably get a better deal through expedia, bookit, priceline or other similar sites.

I agree that vrbo will give you a great selection and prices.

Do you know which island(s) you will be visiting in Hawaii? There are some excellent small agencies on each island that specialize in local condos. Many of photos and even 360 panoramas of the units. I particularly like 2 agencies on Big Island and 1 on Kauai that have high standards and are very reputable.
If either island is in your plans, let me know and I'll post the websites.

I'm going to the Big Island in March so I would like the websites. Thanks.

The two agencies that have lovely units (lots of photos on web) and good service are Prince Properties:
www.konaoceanfronts.com; and Abbey Rentals: www.konarentals.net

In mid-January we'll be staying in a great looking 2 bedroom unit we rented from Prince Properties. It's in the Kanaloa at Kona complex, which is actually in Keauhou. On the website it's name is "Hale Kalena". I'll post a report and let you know if it lives up to my expectations!
