Many resort-area condos in Kōloa are leasehold: you own the unit, a lessor owns the land, and you pay monthly lease rent until the lease expires. The three numbers that matter are the lease rent, the expiration year, and any renegotiation dates. Our intake collects all three, the listing states them plainly, and Nalu can recite them to every buyer who calls — a leasehold listing that hides its lease terms wastes everyone's time.
Kauaʻi County uses the term transient vacation rental (TVR). Inside the Visitor Destination Area, vacation rental use is generally permitted; outside it, a property needs a nonconforming-use certificate. We record your permit or certificate number and its status during intake and state them correctly on the listing.
Poʻipū-area AOAO fees often bundle building insurance, water, and resort grounds. We list the monthly number and what it covers, side by side with any lease rent, so buyers can do honest monthly math from the first call.
