Keep Your Vacation Home Dry and Disaster-Free

A vacation rental in Kauai can be a lucrative investment property. Due to a diverse range in real estate prices, you are likely to find a home that will fit your financial goals and will quickly earn back your initial investment. However, tropical conditions require extra care, so it is important to have support from locals who understand island life. Your rental ownership should feel rewarding, not overwhelming.

Kauai is unique, and therefore the needs of your rental will be as well. If you live on the mainland during the off-season, hiring a local property management company is essential. Seasonal maintenance is a must for a location that has frequent weather shifts. Your property manager should be proactive about plumbing inspections, keeping gutters clear, checking the roof, and responding quickly to any storm damage. Taking this step to protect your vacation home will keep a small issue from becoming a larger future repair.

During guest stays, leave clear instructions about reporting leaks or water damage. Because water damage can quickly escalate, make sure guests know to report issues promptly and provide them a quick response time for any maintenance requests during their stay. When the property is unoccupied, consider smart leak or smoke detectors, and schedule regular walk-throughs.
