Where nightly rental is still legal in Waikīkī.
On O'ahu, only a short list of buildings can be rented for under 90 days. We help you buy into the right one — then run it for you once you do.
Most O'ahu condos can never be a short-term rental.
Since Ordinance 22-7, the City holds a hard line: rentals under 90 days are permitted only in resort zones, grandfathered hotels, and a few carved-out apartment buildings. Everywhere else, nightly rental draws fines that climb by the day. The opportunity is real — but only inside the right walls.
Acquire
We source units in buildings that are legal on day one — underwritten for nightly-rate potential, not guesswork.
Manage
Hand us the calendar, pricing, guests, cleaning, and maintenance. You keep the ocean view and the income.
Stay compliant
DPP registration, GET/TAT filings, NUC renewals, and AOAO rules — tracked and handled in the background.
Legal STR buildings, by classification.
Each tier carries its own flexibility and compliance profile. The higher the tier, the simpler the path to a legal nightly rental.

A note on diligence: House rules and AOAO restrictions can be more restrictive than zoning, and a unit's status can change. We confirm classification, registration, and certificate standing on every property before you commit.
