This is a great site to find a place at, Evan. www.vrbo.com We rented a place on Ewa Beach that had plenty of room for our family of nine....in fact, we had two to choose from.

We left the upstairs lanai doors open the entire 2 wks. that we were there in Dec. 2001.
Hope some of this info helps~ [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
