Frequently Asked Questions
What rentals qualify to list on HawaiiGaga.com?
Please note HawaiiGaga.com accepts only legal vacation rentals. This includes rentals that don't need a permit due to the zoning of their location. You must be the owner of the rental, or the official property manager, to list rentals on HawaiiGaga.com. A listing must advertise a specific rental - it cannot represent a generic unit (room category).
How is a Direct Partner listing created?
On the sign up form you simply point us to an existing listing or website that advertises your rental.
We'll prepare a new listing for you based on that. Once the listing is ready, you'll have access to edit
it as needed. Your listing continues as a monthly subscription until you cancel.
How does Vrbo Inclusion work?
Send us the Vrbo listing address for each rental you'd like included (or your host name in Vrbo). We onboard them for a one-time fee,
and your listings are automatically synced with Vrbo on a weekly basis - there's nothing for you to
maintain. You can provide us with the rental overview text shown in search results (or we'll create for you automatically). Guests who find your rental on HawaiiGaga are sent to your Vrbo listing to complete their
booking. Your inclusion continues as a monthly subscription until you cancel.
Where do guests book?
With a
Direct Partner listing, potential guests either contact you through an inquiry form on your
listing page, or are sent to your own website or booking platform via a "Visit Owner's Website" link. With
Vrbo Inclusion, guests complete their booking on Vrbo.
I've seen Vrbo listings on your site - can you add mine for free?
A portion of our directory consists of Vrbo units we select editorially, based on several criteria, to
ensure guests see representative options in every complex we cover. Editorial units are added and
removed by our
team, and we don't offer a way to request placement in that program or offer customer service for those listings. Editorial listings are placed below all other types. To guarantee your rentals are
included, choose one of the two plans above.
Do you offer trial listings?
HawaiiGaga.com is a family-run business - we've been connecting managers, owners, and travelers since 2008. While we don't offer free trial listings, we work directly with you to ensure your advertising generates more income than it costs. Your success is the only way our business works.
