What is the cheapest prize in October for 7 nights ?

It’s tough to say exactly what the “cheapest price” will be for a 7-night Airbnb stay in Honolulu (or Oʻahu broadly) in October — prices fluctuate a lot depending on location, demand, and how early you book. But I can give you a realistic ballpark based on recently published rental-market data.

### 🏠 What data suggests for October Airbnbs on Oʻahu

  • According to a 2025 STR / Airbnb-market report for Honolulu, “entry-level” entire-home rentals (the bottom 25% price tier) had average nightly rates around US $153/night.
  • If you used that rate as a baseline for 7 nights, that comes out to about US $1,070 before cleaning and service fees — so likely a bit more by check-out.
  • For “typical” rentals (the median tier), the report lists about US $214/night — which for 7 nights is ~ US $1,500 before fees.
  • Keep in mind: October tends to be lower-demand compared with winter and summer in Oʻahu. This can help when hunting for the bottom-end deals.

### ✅ What “cheapest possible” realistically means — and caveats

  • You *could* find a 7-night stay in October around US $1,100–1,300 all-in (before or including modest cleaning/fees) — but these will likely be small studios/rooms, farther from beach areas, or with minimal amenities.
  • For more comfort (private entire apartment/condo, decent location, a/c, decent reviews), a more realistic budget to aim for is US $1,400–1,800 for 7 nights (nightly base ~ $200–260).
  • As with all Airbnbs, factor in cleaning fees, service fees, taxes — the headline nightly rate usually does *not* cover those, and they can significantly raise the total cost. Many “cheap-sounding” listings end up much more expensive after fees.
  • Availability near the beach or in popular neighborhoods may be limited even in October — especially if there are events or local demand — so the “cheapest” listings may also be remote or less convenient.

### 🎯 What to watch out for when hunting cheap Airbnbs

  • Look for week-long stays with hosts offering weekly discounts — some listings lower nightly cost for 7+ nights.
  • Filter by “entire place” only if you want privacy. Shared rooms or guest rooms are cheaper but have trade-offs.
  • Confirm total price (nightly base + cleaning + service + taxes) before booking so you don’t get sticker shock at checkout.
  • Check listing reviews for cleanliness, noise, and location (parking or transport may add hidden cost/time).

### 📝 My take (for you):

If you’re flexible and don’t need a resort-style place, a modest Airbnb in Honolulu in October could realistically be found for ~US $1,100–1,300 for 7 nights, though the stay likely will be basic and maybe a bit outside prime areas. If you prefer more comfort — say a whole unit, decent amenities, maybe close to the beach or Waikiki — budgeting US $1,400–1,800 gives you a much better shot at a solid place. Booking early and being flexible (especially with location) increases your chances of a “good-deal” stay.
