1,208 Apartments, Houses, & Townhomes for Rent in Hawaii

There's a notably wide price gap across the islands. Honolulu is typically the most expensive market, for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. On the other hand, Hilo typically has the most affordable rents, with considerably lower prices for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.

While many Hawaii rentals allow dogs and cats, the limited rental inventory can make it difficult to find pet-friendly apartments. Hawaii's island lifestyle and natural recreation attract renters with pets, so single-family homes in rural areas with yards generally have the highest pet acceptance rates. Many apartments and condo towers in dense urban areas have strict association rules and restrictions regulating breed and weight. To avoid delays, speak with the landlord or property manager early to make sure you qualify.

Because of the large retiree community, there are many senior housing opportunities on the islands. Hawaii areas with the best healthcare access tend to have age-restricted communities, including Kapolei and Kailua-Kona. Similar to all Hawaii rentals, inventory is low — so be wary of long waitlists and competition. When scoping out the options, confirm whether the community is actually age-restricted, as some places are only senior-oriented. And remember, senior housing in rural areas is often less expensive, but there may be fewer medical facilities and long commute times to local businesses and services.

With many seasonal renters, military relocators, remote workers, and tourists on extended vacations, landlords frequently list short-term and furnished rentals. Hawaii's urban and resort markets tend to have the most options, such as Kihei, Waikiki, and Ala Moana. Whether it's condos or Hawaii townhouse rentals, use Rentler's filters to find furnished and short-term listings. Use the 'furnished amenities' and 'lease length' filters for fast results.

Hawaii's luxury rental market is driven by high-end beach towns with oceanfront condos, new builds, and modern amenities. While Kaka'ako and Wailea have many luxury apartments, Hawaii's inventory can be found throughout resort-driven islands. These units typically feature infinity pools, premium gyms, and concierge services. Find luxury apartments using Rentler's 'year built' filter, paired with 'highest price first' sorting.
