About Our Property Management Services
We are accepting new clients for property management! Kauai Dreams Realty specializes in property management and rentals. We offer long-term property management services. On Kauai this is a 6 month lease or longer. Anything under a 6 month lease is considered a short term rental.
Right now we are servicing the entire island of Kauai. Most of our rentals are located from the North shore of Kauai to the South side of Kauai. We have a full-time property manager that handles all of our rentals. Her name is Taylor Klingensmith, learn more about Taylor here.
Hawaii Law
Hawaii Requires that owners have a designated property manager if the owners are not on-island. This person does not have to be a licensed real estate agent. However if the property manager does not hold a Hawaii real estate license then they can only manage properties for one owner.
We highly recommend using a licensed company for property management.
Please see the Hawaii Landlord-Tenant code here.

This depends on the property, but typically, with Craigslist, Zillow, our website, and social media, we’re able to attract plenty of applicants. - What is included in our property management services?
Our property management services include finding and vetting a tenant. Collecting monthly rents and dispersing those to owners. Doing property management checks.

Why is it important to hire a Property Manager on Kauai?
There are so many reasons!
- Letting us handle business. On a small island it can be awkward and uncomfortable when being approached by family or friends who are interested in your rental but may not be the best fit. When hiring a property manager the decision is now ours and owners don’t have to deal with the stress of making decisions.
- We are familiar with the law. Discrimination and how many days notice to give someone for this or that can get confusing. At Kauai Dreams Realty we prefer owners not be involved when making a decision on tenants. That way we are not holding our owners liable for discrimination if they did not aid in making any decisions.
- Our experience with picking tenants. Along the way we have learned what are red flags when tenants apply for rentals. This helps us choose the best tenant possible for our owners. We want the best tenant that will pay on time and take care of the property.
- Preserving your investment. There is no way around it homes need maintenance and money for upkeep. Always expect that a property will need a repair and try to set aside some funds for repairs and maintenance. We are sure to address major issues such as water leaks immediately.
