Your house, run like it is ours.

What Is Included
Everything between guests.
Marketing and distribution
Professional listing creation and photography at onboarding, paid by NOHO. Dynamic pricing through PriceLabs, adjusted daily for your market. Distribution across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Google Vacation Rentals, Hopper, and this direct-booking site, plus syndication to Kayak, Priceline, Agoda, Expedia, TripAdvisor, and Hotels.com. Superhost and Guest Favorite standing that earns placement and premium rates.
Guest experience
Guest communication from inquiry through checkout and review, around the clock. Automated check-in and checkout instructions with a real person behind them. Mid-stay check-ins, proactive issue resolution, and review management. House rules, parking, and registration built into every guest touchpoint.
Property operations
Turnover cleaning and quality control between every stay. Full operational scheduling across cleaners, maintenance windows, guest arrivals, and owner stays. Vendor management, emergency repair response, restocking, regular inspections beyond the cleaning check, and coordination of routine capital projects.
Compliance
STVR registration tracking and renewal coordination, county TVR requirements, and condominium association rules where they apply: agent registration, automated guest arrival notices to the resident manager, registration cards, posted house rules, and cleaning inside permitted hours. We read the house rules cover to cover so you do not pay a fine for them.
Finance and reporting
Monthly owner statements with full revenue and expense accounting, itemized taxable revenue, and estimated GET, TAT, and HCTAT for your filings. Transparent accounting through the Hostaway owner portal. One invoice a month for our fee and reimbursable expenses.
Technology that pays for itself
Hostaway as the operating system: one calendar behind every channel, automated messaging, scheduling, and owner reporting. PriceLabs for pricing; dynamic pricing alone typically lifts revenue fifteen to twenty-five percent over a static rate. The same tools the top operators in the industry run on.
The Fee, In Full
Twenty-two percent. Nothing hiding.
Big Island management fees typically run 18% to 30%, and many managers add monthly fees, keep guest fees as revenue, or bill separately for photography and tax reporting. We do none of that.

What Sets NOHO Apart
Small on purpose.
Keauhou Punahele, Kailua-Kona. Taken to the studs, now under management.
Local, responsive, real people
We live here and use our real names on every listing. When a guest has an issue at 10pm we are twenty minutes away, not a mainland call center. Fast replies show up in reviews, in ratings, and in your nightly rate.
Owner-first economics
We do not keep your cleaning fees. We do not charge monthly admin fees. We do not nickel and dime. Big Island management runs eighteen to thirty percent, often with extras for photography, tax reporting, and platform subscriptions. Ours is twenty-two, all in.
Condo association expertise
Most managers either charge extra for association compliance or skip it and leave you exposed. We build registration, guest notices, parking, quiet hours, and cleaning windows into the workflow, and it is included.
A portfolio we actually run
Six homes, two coasts. Houses we renovated ourselves, farms we work, a condo we took to the studs. We manage your property the way we manage our own, because we are standing in them every week.
Getting Started
Four steps to live.
The walkthrough
We look at the property, the permit, and what it would take to be guest-ready. You get an honest revenue range for the house as it stands and with a short punch list done.
The agreement
One document in plain language, signed by DocuSign: the fee, what it covers, who pays for what, how either side ends it.
Photography and listing build
Professional photography on us, listings written and optimized for every channel, pricing set, cleaners onboarded, and any association registrations filed.
Go live
Most properties take bookings within two to three weeks of signing. You see every reservation and every dollar in the owner portal from day one.
