Finding a rental that allows pets

12/8/2015

"I came across your page about you moving to Hawaii.  My husband and I are planning to move to the Kona/Waikolo Village area and to be honest, I am somewhat terrified.  We are bringing our 1 medium sized dog with us, we have already started the quarantine process.  I am not too concerned about that.  We have a vet that has gone through the process and I have gone over the paperwork a hundred times at least to make sure we aren't missing anything.  What I am most worried about is finding a place to live, and with a dog.  We are planning to buy eventually but I am sure that will take 6 months minimum to be in a position to do that.  How difficult was it for you to find a place to live with dogs?  I feel that Hawaii is really not a dog friendly place.  I should also mention that while we have been smart and have saved in preparation to move, we are not prepared to spend $2000+ for rent.  I don't feel like we will have any trouble finding jobs within a month.  We are also exploring the option of coming over with family for a combined vacation and so we have a place to stay while we look for a house, but vacation rentals that allow dogs is another problem it seems. 

Any advice that may calm my fear would be appreciated.  Thank you."

​Hi Mel,

The way we did it was to visit Hawaii on a vacation/house buying trip. By the time we brought our dogs over, we owned a home. Perhaps a preliminary trip before you move to do some house-hunting? You can also work with a Realtor to find long-term housing. One of your requirements would be dog-friendly.

Good luck!
