When you try to book a certain area in Hawaii be advised that VRBO 's first 10 -20 pages are only properties that pay an extra fee... also there is a 90% chance the area you think you booked could very well not be. Say your request /filter was the Northshore of the island of Oahu... pages and pages of properties will come up and if you are not familiar with the island you won't recognize one area from another. Believe me. Chances are you just booked a property 45 miles from where you thought you were staying. I'd go with Airbnb... Flipkey any of these will be a better deal and more accurate representation for vacationers and owners.
