Morgan,

Reposting this every week is not going to help (especially when you don't even thank those who send you leads). Keep checking for postings here and on Craigslist, but don't be surprised not to get any more responses to these posts.

May is a lifetime away for finding housing in the islands. I know it is nerve-wracking to not have everything lined up, but it is very easy to find a place within a few days when you arrive -- people do it all the time. In May there should be plenty of rentals available, and they will get cheaper then. Plan to come down, stay at the inn or a campground for a few days, and head straight to Connections on Day 1 to check the bulletin board. As long as you have first, last, and security deposit on hand in cash (standard for most places, as a non-local check will take up to a week and a half to clear), you'll have something very shortly.

Good luck.

Hi, I have been in contact with those who have resonded. Do you live on the island? We have friends who live there and just visited this xmas. The reason we are so anxious is because we want a nice place that is furnished with everything and that has a great view. We don't believe we can just walk into town and find what we are looking for in a week. If you do know of anything that in on our wish list with a great budget., let us know who we can contact.

Thanks,
Morgan

You might not believe it, but it is possible to do exactly that. Most places here are completely furnished, many have a great view, and for the summer, many of them will be in your price range.

Already sent you a PM a few weeks ago; never heard back, so let me know if you didn't receive it. Good luck.
