The Wailea Sunset Estate was the best!! I celebrated my 50th birthday in that house and it was an experience like no other. The house was fabulous and in stellar condition!! Our Concierge contact for the house did a great job with making us feel very special as we got closer to our visit. We plan on visiting Hawaii again and I definitely will be using Hawaiian Beach Rentals for booking our next family vacation in Hawaii. Much Aloha! Thompson Family.
HawaiiGaga.com is Hawaii's vacation rental directory. We've been helping vacationers discover Hawaii's vacation rentals since 2008. We list only legally licensed rentals from verified owners and managers so you don't have to worry about fake listings.
Our carefully curated directory contains over 9000 rentals, representing the best of Hawaii. We evaluate and categorize each rental to make it easy to find the perfect accommodation. Oceanview really does mean oceanview! And to receive a beachfront designation, a resort must be on a beach that is generally considered safe for swimming.
Feel free to contact us if you need help with your holiday planning.
Cascading waterfalls bubble into a clear crisp pool under the emerald forest canopy. Ribbons of black sand beaches slope into the sapphire blue ocean while the sweet hibiscus-scented air seeps into your nose. Hawaii is this and so much more. It's hiking the once-fiery volcanoes, diving crystal-clear reefs, surfing the endless waves and, of course, relaxing on the soft sand. The beauty of a Hawaiian vacation is diversity; vacation in Maui and you will experience a cushy, custom-catered holiday. Kaua'i, on the Big Island, is for outdoor enthusiasts looking for breathtaking natural scenery. Honolulu, at the foot of majestic volcanic mountains, offers some of the best Pacific Rim food to be had, making it a foodie's "paradise found."
For your accommodations, try a vacation rental such as a condo or villa on the beach. These options offer spectacular views and more freedom and privacy than you'd get in a hotel, and come complete with all the comforts of home.
We have you covered in family-friendly vacation rentals that define sun and fun in paradise! From extra space to more amenities to keep the family busy, we have the perfect rental for you and your family!

Airbnb and Vrbo have changed the way vacationers travel. More and more guests are choosing to rent private homes rather than book hotels. With a bounty of popular destinations including Honolulu, Maui, and Oahu, the Aloha State offers prospective short-term rental hosts the opportunity to bring in extra income and meet new people.
But new income opportunities bring new tax implications. Like hotel and B&B stays, short-term rentals in Hawaii are subject to tax. Tax authorities require short-term vacation rental hosts to collect applicable short-term rental taxes from their guests and remit them to the proper authorities.
No short-term vacation rental tax guide is a substitute for professional tax advice. Consider this an asset to help you understand and prioritize your vacation rental questions and concerns. Questions pertaining to specific situations or out-of-the-ordinary conditions are best solved with a certified tax professional familiar with Hawaii tax laws.
In Hawaii, lodging taxes operate a bit differently than in most other states. Lodging taxes are levied on gross rental proceeds from transient accommodations. Short-term rental business owners may pass the taxes on to their guests.
Hawaii imposes GET on business activity in the state. The tax is applied to the gross income received by the person engaging in the business activity. TAT is applied to gross rental proceeds, (charges for accommodations), including mandatory resort fees and maintenance fees, such as cleaning fees and management fees. Gross rental proceeds do not include charges for guest amenities such as meals, telephone calls, and laundry services.
Whether you choose to offer short-term rentals through a marketplace like Airbnb or Vrbo or directly to guests, you open the door to tax liability at the state and local level. As tax revenue is a major source of local funding, tax authorities are becoming more aggressive in their efforts to identify individuals and businesses not in compliance with tax laws. Failure to register with tax authorities and file short-term rental tax returns in Hawaii on time may result in late fees, interest payments, and in extreme cases, legal action.
Short-term rental hosts in Hawaii may be able to take advantage of a voluntary disclosure agreement (VDA). A VDA offers an opportunity for hosts to proactively disclose prior period tax liabilities in accordance with a binding agreement with the Hawaii Department of Taxation. VDAs are offered to encourage cooperation with state tax laws and may result in some or all penalty and interest payments being waived.

We've rented twice through Kona Coast Vacations and have had excellent service from them both times. They are responsive to any needs and were very prompt in addressing even the smallest issue we had with our rental. As a guest, I highly recommend them and were I a property owner, I think are great managers.
We really loved this property. It is a beautiful location with a short walk to Magic Sands Beach. We were here in December, not aware that the beach actually disappears until March. We had one day of amazing sand and great waves. After that we sought out other beaches further north. The view from the property is amazing. The rental agency was very helpful and available and we could not ask for more from David@Konaconcierge.net. Highly recommend the snorkeling/dolphin tour as well as the zipline and ATV activities. We even attended a Luau at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. It was fun and the food was good. If you are looking for a good beach, there is one in front of the Marriott. And although we did not make it to the Fairmont, I hear the beach there is great as well. Overall, great stay. The lower bedroom is not large but my 6'3" son survived it. I do wish the pool was heated but we didn't really need it. Lovely home. Lovely people. Very happy.
