New Transient Kauai Vacation Rental Ordinance

On March 7th, 2008, the Kauai County Council passed Ordinance #864 to regulate Transient Vacation Rentals on the Island of Kauai. The council said that the ordinance was needed to address “the uncontrolled proliferation” of vacation rentals outside of designated Visitor Destination Areas (VDA’s). However, the new ordinance requires registration of all vacation rentals – both inside and outside of the VDA’s. The existing Visitor Destination Areas include most of Princeville, portions of Poipu, Lihue and Kapaa and some other small areas.

All condos and single family homes inside the designated VDA areas that rent to vacationers will have until September 3, 2008 to apply for a Vacation Rental Registration Number. Vacation Rentals that are located outside of the designated VDA must apply for a non-conforming Use Certificate from the county by October 15th and receive approval by March 30, 2009. If your property is located within the existing Visitor Destination Area (VDA), registration your registration should be approved as long as you file the required documentation and pay an annual $150 fee to the county. Outside of the VDA, the county will no longer allow new vacation rentals. Existing vacation rentals that can show current and past reservation history will be allowed to continue with a special use permit, only if they register with the county each year and comply with numerous other zoning and use requirements. As of this writing, the County is requiring that all forms be submitted in person at the County Assessment Office AND at the County Planning Office. You are allowed to have another person submit the applications for you if you provide an Authorization Letter. As part of the application, the county is requiring a plot plan and building plans, signed and stamped by a licensed architect or engineer along with copies of General Excise Tax and Transient Accommodation Tax licenses and a designated 24 hour contact person.

Whether you are considering buying or selling vacation rental property in Kauai, it will be very important in the future to work with people who familiar with this ordinance and how it will affect you. The county can levy a fine against any owner, person or company that it finds in violation of the new ordinance, so please feel free to go to the County Of Kauai for more information.

Hawaii Vacation Rentals – Cottages, Oceanfront Hotels, Condos, Villas

Each island in Hawaii is different in its lure. The six islands all have a wide range of accommodation rentals from which to choose. Make it a point to visit at least more than one of the islands (if not all), if you want to experience all that is Hawaii. The best island to drop anchor would be Maui and then visit the other islands from here. Maui rentals are diverse — everything from luxurious to affordable accommodations that won’t break the bank.

The second largest island is Maui, which has some truly unbelievable beaches: many discerning vacationers think the island’s coast has the world’s best beaches. You’ll want to return to Maui again and again just to bask in your favorite white sand beach.From the coast, looking mauka (to the mountains) you’ll get an eyeful of Maui’s rich green landscape from which you can fill your lungs with fresh, unpolluted air.

Whether you’re relaxing on the breathtaking beaches or touring the winding roads of the famous Hana Highway, Maui rentals are the guaranteed way to ensure your trip to Maui is as spectacular as the scenery. While you are there, don’t forget to sample the eclectic cuisine or browse the numerous shops that line Maui’s coast. Whether it’s a journey to tropical Iao Valley, watching the sunrise at Haleakala Crater, a whale-watching expedition, or a round of golf on a championship course, your trip to Maui will be an adventure to remember.

If you are vacationing in Hawaii, you would be amiss if you did not stop by Kauai. Kauai is better known as the ‘Garden Island’ and the home to unspoiled beaches and amazing sea-cliffs. It is nothing short of a tropical wonderland. The toughest choice is where to choose a Kauai rental to enjoy your holiday.

There is a lot to do in Kauai. You could take a hike along the Napali coast, or ride in a helicopter over the 3,000 foot cliffs. If you like to fish or kayak, you could do either on the Wailua River, Hawaii’s only navigable river. Swim or sun yourself on the several bays and beaches of Kauai, or get in a trip to the links for golf. You could also plan to visit one of Kauai’s beautiful tropical gardens for a picnic.

Kauai has such beautiful, large, and clean beaches that they alone will make your vacation worthwhile. Even better, consider renting an oceanfront cottage with a swimming pool. Kauai is a perfect and cozy site for a honeymoon — a location sure to make your vacation memorable. Many couples are drawn by the spectacular scenery and attractions of this island and schedule weddings here.
