well, renea, if you plan to stay more than the one year you have money for, and your husband does high end marble and granite work, which would be appreciated on the west side, you might consider renting on the west side and letting him find work.
Based on your likes, I think you would enjoy windward North Kohala and the Honoka'a area, possibly Waimea. All three have hospitals, two of them quite small. Honoka'a has a very nice health clinic.
Women have babies all over the island. If insurance doesn't cover midwifery, and I don't know it it does, then you may need to find clients who can afford to pay for their own birthing.
Yes, the rent is lower on the east side, but the higher wages more than compensate for the discrepancy, if you can get them.
We had money for one year as well, and we used it.
Year Two was a brutal wake-up call.
