My observation is that the first two weeks of December are relatively inexpensive. The last two weeks of December is one of the most expensive times to go to Hawaii with flights selling out around Christmas time.

Highly recommend the Marriott Vacation Villas. They are not at Waikiki but the man-made lagoons are extremely nice.

We spent a few days at the JW Marriott and had toured the Vacation Villa when we were at JW. The Villas are nicer than the JW Marriott itself.

I'm the fish.. and you guys are dangling the bait.. and I want to bite..

We've got a 5 year old and 1 year old.. and man made lagoons that dissapates the intensity of waves.. plus the 2 bedroom Villas.. would be ultra sweet, if it had ocean views and a great price attached with it..

Generally, how much does this property sell for in terms of Villa Rates.. We are currently booked March 22nd, 2012 to arrive on Oahu.. and can stay however long we would like depending on the deal..

35% off on car rental booked through Avis, see terms & conditions for instructions on how to book.

Book online, or call 866-716-8140 and reference rate plan SPG355N.
I think you need to double check the rate / terms - using that promo and your dates, the average daiy rate (discounts and free nights applied) that starwood quotes is $225 + taxes and fee, whereas you are assuming fifth night free on top of that rate.

The rate is actually $235 + taxes and fee with the fifth night free. Already have confirmed reservations at that rate.

This day in age, with Hawaii being super expensive.. and now with the taxes going exhorbitantly higher then ever.. we've got to try and save in any legitimate way possible..
