At Hawaii Vacation Homes, our mission is simple: help our owners earn more and worry less. While many companies talk about performance, we focus on showing it through real, verifiable results.
We periodically evaluate the performance of all properties in our portfolio and compare performance to the Maui market average for the same time period. Here’s what the data reveals:
Performance That Stands Out
In the most recent six-month snapshot at the time of writing (January through July 2025), the average Kihei condo achieved 64% occupancy with an ADR (average daily rate) of $266.43. In comparison, our portfolio reached 75% occupancy with an ADR of $268.63. Our portfolio of properties has consistently delivered stronger performance than the Maui market. But ADR and occupancy alone don’t tell the full story.
Why RevPAR Matters
Looking only at occupancy can be misleading – filling every night at low rates doesn’t maximize income. Focusing only on high nightly rates with fewer bookings isn’t effective either. Revenue per Available Night (RevPAR) blends both occupancy and nightly rate to give a true picture of overall revenue and earnings for a property. RevPAR balances both, making it the most reliable measure of success.
By combining occupancy and ADR into this key performance measure, the difference becomes clear: $195.77 RevPAR for our properties vs. $168.10 RevPar for the market. That’s a 16% advantage in revenue for our owners.
With us outperforming the market by 16% in RevPAR, an owner who might earn $100,000 under average market conditions could instead bring in about $116,000 with Hawaii Vacation Homes. While results vary and past performance never guarantees future results, this snapshot illustrates how our approach consistently delivers more value and revenue for our owners.
The market data above comes directly from a third-party pricing and analytics tool. The dataset includes more than 1,200 comparable Airbnb listings in Kihei (studios through two-bedrooms, excluding oceanfront units to ensure fair comparisons with our current management portfolio). This provides an accurate, unbiased, and apples-to-apples look at how we stack up against the local market.
Why We’re Different (and Why It Works)
There’s no secret formula – our results come from the way we run our business and how we care for our owners, guests, and properties.
1. We Lead with Data
Every pricing adjustment is based on real-time market data, not guesswork. We track Maui’s vacation rental market daily and adjust to keep our owners competitive. Better yet, we share this information openly so you always know how your property is performing compared to the market.
2. Exceptional Guest Experience
Think of booking a vacation rental like shopping on Amazon. When faced with two similar products, most people choose the one with more reviews and higher ratings. The same applies to Airbnb: listings with more reviews and stronger ratings get booked more often and at higher rates. Airbnb Official Studies and Data backs these claims. With 700+ reviews and an average of 4.95 stars, our focus on guest experience and review nurturing ensures our owners benefit from increased trust, visibility, and bookings. Several of our listings are marked as Top 1%, Top 5% and Top 10% listings in the Maui Market by Airbnb themselves (see screenshots below).

3. Boutique, Hands-On Management
Your property isn’t one of hundreds in a massive portfolio. Because we’re boutique, we give each listing personalized attention—from tailored pricing strategies to customized guest communication to hands-on property care. This individualized approach drives better results for owners and better experiences for guests.
The Owner Advantage
The numbers show that we deliver more revenue than the Maui market. But here’s the part owners appreciate most: we do it at a lower cost than most management companies.
Transparent Pricing & No Hidden Fees
Many companies charge higher base fees and tack on hidden costs—linen surcharges, admin fees, annual marketing charges, or markups on supplies and maintenance. These extras can quickly erode an owner’s bottom line.
At Hawaii Vacation Homes, we keep it simple: one clear management fee. No hidden charges. No markups. No surprises. That means when we say we’re helping you earn more, you actually get to keep more of it.
A Reputation You Can Trust
Our commitment to results and transparency has earned us a 100% owner retention rate. Even better, more than 90% of our new clients come from referrals – a testament to the trust we’ve built with our owners.
Closing Thoughts
The latest six months of data offer just one snapshot, but they reflect what our owners have experienced for years: Hawaii Vacation Homes consistently earns owners more while reducing management expenses and fees. With stronger RevPAR, exceptional guest satisfaction, boutique-level care, and transparent pricing, we help owners earn more while providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing their property is in expert hands.
