In most cases, unfortunately, selling the house and when you are buying a new one doesn’t match up perfectly. Usually, there is a time lapse between these two. This is the case when you have to find temporary housing options in order to wait for moving to a new place.
Temporary housing options depending on your need and your budget
If you don’t need to wait a longer period to move in, then you can consider a bit more expensive temporary housing options. Unfortunately, sometimes people have to wait for a couple of weeks or a month or so, to finish their move. Normally this is the case when you really have to mind your budget. A moving itself cost and when you add buying a new place and temporary housing p[rice, then you will have a headache. Some temporary housing options can cost you less money. You can get a lot of help if you contact the professionals. This stand for advice as well as hiring them. Consider a moving company, such as Wailea movers to do most of the relocating.
Take care of your belongings
When you are in the situation, you need to move out and you have already sold your home, and then think about your belongings. If you are looking for temporary housing, it is easier to store your furniture and other things in storage. Explore your storage options, so you know in advance, what suits you the best. This is a good solution when you are using temporary housing for a while. If you have some family members or a friend that has enough space to store your belongings, you are in luck. That is the cheapest solution. Otherwise, ask around for the best prices and types of storage units.
Plan where you will store your belongings while moving.
Considering a moving is a stressful period in a person life, think about all possible ways to relieve that stress a little. When you hire a moving company, you have more services that you can use than simple transport. Some moving companies offer cleaning service as well as packing and unpacking service. Packing and unpacking moving assistance is a very useful service and if you do a proper research you will find that it doesn’t have to cost a lot. Not to mention that you will save yourself a lot of time and work.
Hotels and Hostels
The first thing that you can think of is a hotel, probably, when you need a temporary place to stay. This is also the most expensive solution. There are some hotels that offer extended stay and that is a little more affordable. Those are usually budget hotels that have discount rates for a longer stay. The price depends on the longevity of your stay and of course, it depends on a number of people. The upside is you have fresh and clean linens and towels. Well, you are living in a hotel, right? Bear in mind that price varies depending on a country you are living in.
Hotels are the most expensive choice, but you have full service.
Hotels are a similar option. They have larger rooms for more people if you need them. However, there are hostels that don’t have a bathroom in a room. There is a shared bathroom and these are the cheapest room types. But, think it through whether you can live like that for a certain while before you find permanent Hawaii real estate for you. Maybe for a day or two, but longer? It is quite uncomfortable.
Different types of holiday homes and home rentals
Today you can easily find online a variety of websites that connect holiday homeowners or managers with potential clients. Because you are in contact with the actual homeowner, you can agree on longer stay for the better price. You can rent an apartment or a house for a good price if you are staying for more than a week or so. Actually, they have a minimum number of nights you have to stay. It can be only longer than that minimum.
You have all needed appliances there, but they usually don’t have linens or towels, you have to pay it extra for that. Good thing is that you can arrange everything with the homeowner or property manager.
Airbnb
Airbnb became very popular in the last couple of years. That is a worldwide marketplace for rooms, apartments and house listings. Renting from Airbnb is similar to renting a regular apartment: you get the place and enter the tenant-landlord relationship. You can rent a place for as long as you need it. The upside to this is that you can see a price immediately so you don’t have to make too many calls or write emails to find what you need. The downside: the price.
Corporate housing
Corporate housing is a temporary housing option that is available for both individuals and families. These rentals are also completely furnished and you can rent it with internet service, appliances and sometimes a housekeeping service if you can afford it.
Corporate housing is usually fully furnished rental.
Determine how long you will be staying
This is very helpful to know when you are searching for temporary housing. When you know in advance, you can maybe bargain for a better price or conditions on your rental. Also, it is easier to know how long you will wait to finish your move, so you can hire movers. You can choose from many options because these are meant for business people that have to relocate for work. Therefore, it fits your exact needs.
All of the above is different in different parts of the country. If you are moving a long distance and you need to find temporary housing option for you or your family, make sure that you check all the options. Do the proper research or ask somebody who has done this already to give you advice. Anyway, you need to plan this well in advance. Moving is difficult and stressful, but when you can’t move in your new place right away…it can create many problems. So, be sure that you have planned and organized everything so it goes smoothly.
Our experience with Wailea movers could not have been better. They were in constant contact with us through the whole experience. The men they sent to move us were efficient, knowledgeable, And did a very good job. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone that needs their services..
From start to end everyone was so helpful super through and answered all our questions. They really made us feel comfortable and made the moving transition so easy. Will recommend everyone to Wailea Movers!
I chose Wailea Movers because after my inquiry their response was quick and very informative. I actually felt comfortable enough to stop my search. Once I was ready, I called back and booked it. It was great because my move date changed and I needed to reschedule and there was no issue at all, and no fee to change my move date. The movers came when expected and worked so hard that I felt guilty. They were friendly, professional, and quick. I have moved so many times in my life, and this was clearly the best experience I've had with any moving company.Edward was super quick to respond to my inquiry, and gave me a very accurate and fair cost estimate. He was friendly and patient with me as it took me a few days to actually book the date. The whole experience from start to finish exceeded my expectations
Top notch company! Starting with Edward who came out to our locations to get us a cost estimate. Then accommodating us having to change the move date. The crew who came to move us (Ka’u, Alan, Rico, and Michael) were the best of the best. Super attentive to what needed to go and what needed extra care. Very efficient! They packed up both locations before lunch which is amazing. Awesome crew for sure! Definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to move. They took care of everything so I didn’t have to worry about shipping out stuff. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!
My move recently was not the largest or most involved but these guys treated it in the same regaurd as a huge estate. Everything from start to finish was freindly and professional. Edward was very patient scheduling the service and Alan was not only efficient but also conserned and aware of protocol. Both were great to work with and made the job of moving more of a pleasure than a burden. Highly recommend to anyone. Thanks again guys.
Great group of very hard and dedicated movers! They communicated well, showed up as expected and worked fast while ensuring our household goods were well taking care of. Highly recommend them!
By far the best moving company I’ve ever worked with. Professional, friendly and the movers took great care in moving our things. I highly recommend Wailea Movers, they are worth it!
Awesome experience with Wailea Movers and Storage! From the initial contact with James and Edward, they are so friendly and accommodating, even when we had to move our move date 3 times on them! Alan and Rico came and did our move this morning! Nicest guys and even helped us put everything back together! Great team!!!
Wailea Movers moved me a few years ago. They were so patient and just so GOOD, from the scheduling and communication to the move to paying a great price; all flawless. That’s why I called them for this move; flawless again! Exceptional and professional service with a price that’s still great, and moving me in challenging circumstances: road washouts and detours during the second round of the Kona Low storms. It’s nice to know there’s someone we can count on during a time when prices are insanely high and service at times can be abysmal. I ❤️ you guys! Mahalo nui.
All parts of my interactions with this company were ON-IT, professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. When I let them know we would handle the packing ahead of the moving date, I was emailed helpful videos showing me how to pack all the categories of items as the pros would do it. Additionally, the moving team I was provided with were careful, thorough in protecting all the pieces, and just plain enjoyable to have in my home. Highly recommend!
We used Wailea Movers during our family’s cross-country move from Maui to Kansas City, and I can honestly say the two guys who showed up were absolute pros.This wasn’t just a simple “load a couch” job. We were shipping our entire life off island, coordinating port delivery, container loading, tight timelines, and the emotional chaos of a big family relocation. These guys showed up calm, strong, efficient, and dialed in.They treated our belongings like they were their own. No rushing. No careless stacking. No attitude. Just focused, high-level execution. They were respectful to my wife and kids, careful in tight spaces, and moved with purpose the entire time.You can tell when someone takes pride in their work, and these guys absolutely did.If you're in Maui and need movers who are professional, reliable, and actually care, Wailea Movers is the move.Mahalo for helping us start our next chapter the right way. 🤙
I enjoyed very excellent service from Wailea Movers, starting with Edward, who took my order and followed through with.date changes down to Alan and Ryko, who delivered my new hot tub. I would definitely use them again.
Great to talk with these guys on the phone. Very helpful and knowledgeable and they care about moving quite a bit. James is a true moving connoisseur. Thanks again for all the help!
Edward and the moving did a phenomenal job. I would use them again. The communicated very well, worked fast, and treated all of my stuff with care. Thank you
We received the shipment from Maui and their shipments come in very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. James the owner there is obsessed with quality. Great to see good craftsmanship in the moving business. We look forward to helping them with the last mile again. I will recommend them my customers moving to or from Maui.
Wailea Movers made my recent move from my apartment in Napili completely stress free and I can’t recommend them enough. Ka’u and Riko were absolutely outstanding from start to finish – they showed up on time, worked quickly, and handled all of my furniture and boxes with so much care and professionalism. They were friendly, efficient, and checked in with me throughout the day to make sure everything was going exactly where it needed to go, which made the whole process smooth and easy. You can tell they take pride in their work and represent Wailea Movers’ high standards and aloha spirit in the best way. If you’re moving anywhere on Maui or off island, I’d 100% use Wailea Movers again – huge mahalo to Ka’u and Riko for a true 5-star experience!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mahalo Wailea Movers!!! Excellent service and friendly crew. Made our move back to the mainland smooth and easy. Crew took extra care with all our precious items. Highly recommend them for your next move!
Can’t say anything except “No Ka Oi”!!!! Our experience from the very beginning starting with Ed our sales representative and estimator, to Alan and Rico was the best. Ed was personal, professional and knew his business. Excellent. Alan and Rico worked like they cared about what they were doing, being cautious and safe with our valuables . Working quickly but cautiously . I would expect to find our things arriving safely to their destination due to their expert attention and skills. Mahalo!!!
Excellent service from the beginning. Edward provided a competitive quote for moving belongings from Maui to Arizona, complemented by exceptional, professional packing by Alan and Rico. Highly recommend Wailea Moving and Storage.
Great people...strong communication skills...willing and able to assist beyond their scope of workJordan was lead on my move and was exemplary...always available and a pleasure to deal with
Wailea Movers are professional, thorough, creative, and knowledgeable. Very accommodating with requests and resources. They were actually fun to have around; they enjoy working together and it shows. Also very punctual and worked non-stop. Top tier! Thanks guys!!
The guys at Wailea Movers did an excellent job picking up and delivering our pool table. There were 7 of them and they were professional, friendly, knew what they were doing and took the time to carefully wrap everything so that it wouldn't get damaged. I would DEFINITELY use them again. Thanks for doing such a great job guys!
My moving experience was amazing! Malique and Kaunalu were AWESOME!!! So, so friendly and worked amazing together. Very professional! I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat! Mahalo’s🤙🏽
My dad chose Wailea Movers for me when I was moving from upcountry to Kihei all within one day. They were very helpful and communicative. They alleviated my stress with having to move with such a short time frame. I would use them again!
