Vacation Rental Assist (VRA) enables owners of vacation property rentals to rent out their property without involving a traditional (and expensive) 'management company'. We will not rent out your unit, you can do that, instead we are your 'assistant' here in Kona and will take care of all your rental needs, even though you, the owner, live on the mainland or miles away.

Owning a vacation rental can be a positive experience when you have the right balance of support and independence. If you are on the mainland and your vacation rental is in Hawaii, you may have some form of representation or none at all. Property management companies are a good choice for the 'hands-off' owner looking for full service. On the other hand, many rental owners want to be in control of their property. Thanks to 'Vacation Rental By Owner' type Websites (VRBO.com), do-it-yourself management has exploded across the country. As a result, VRA was born and offers a new level of support to the do-it-yourselfer. We offer you a fully customized support package at a fraction of the cost of a traditional property management company. With us, you as the property owner have the freedom to choose your level of involvement.

We take the worry and hassle out of dealing with a late night phone call about a leaky toilet, keys not working, a tenant who is lost, a BBQ out of propane and of course the guaranteed "mongoose in the kitchen" call. After the guests depart additional work is required. The refrigerator needs emptying, garbage must be disposed of and a final walkthrough will be conducted so the security deposit can be returned. In between guests, we might need to meet the plumber (for the leaky toilet), deliver a replacement toaster or microwave, allow access to a pest management company or conduct a walkthrough after a storm.

If you are looking for just such a service, we invite you to explore this site and learn more about Vacation Rental Assist. We look forward to meeting you.

A hui hou (until next time),
