WHY CHOOSE US

1. Many vacation rental management companies charge a low percentage of bookings (15% to 20%), and then charge guests even more fees

They charge resort fees, booking fees, late check-out fees and early check-in fees!  Companies keep these fees and do not share with the unit owners. These fees drive down rental revenues – which means LESS MONEY goes to the unit owner. So while the owner thinks they are paying 15%, the vacation rental management company is actually making the equivalent of 30% to 40% of total revenues.

They also charge owners many fees
– GET & TAT filing fee
– bill payment fee (per bill/month)
– annual “spring cleaning” fee (on a vacation rental?)
– after hours site visit fee (after hours on a vacation rental?)
– “misc. item delivery fee” = $2.00 for a light bulb + $25 to deliver it!
– and many more!

At Alohana Realty LLC, we charge 25% + G.E. Tax on bookings on short term vacation rentals (20% + G.E. Tax on properties with minimum 30 day rental rules)- and nothing more. If we don’t book the unit, we don’t get paid. PERIOD. Owners don’t pay us to keep their units vacant. Owners trust us with their properties because we produce!

2. We Keep Your Vacation Rental Well-Maintained

Broken / damaged items need to be repaired / replaced promptly – or reviews & rental income will suffer. We are constantly working to maintain units in their optimal condition.
