Aloha
As a real estate agent, I can give you a rough idea of what you are looking for, but please understand that I can only give you a basic answer unless I know your situation. If you like, you can contact me directly and we can talk.
Basically, rental rules are governed by Hawaii State Law. Properties that are available for vacation rentals must be in a resort zone or have a special permit at the individual property. Otherwise, renting less than the minimum number of days under current state law is illegal and can lead to fines and other problems. For properties in buildings, such as condominiums, it is necessary to check the building's minimum number of days rental rule as well as state law in many cases.

＃ Thank you, Price Maria RA
for your response.
I asked the question in a vague sentence, but it was not because I personally want to start a bakelane, but because there is a place in the neighborhood that I think is illegally bakelane and I was wondering if I should report it. I apologize for the lack of clarity. I understand that you are a real estate agent and would be happy to contact you in the future when considering a new property. Thank you very much.

I own several properties in Waikiki and rent them out both short term and long term.
The short term properties are within the resort zone, but
the condo along Ala Wai is outside the resort zone, so I have registered it for short term rentals (STR).

First of all, the definition of vacation rental is renting out one's property to tourists to earn income.
Is it still against the rules if I rent it out to an acquaintance （ or friend of a friend ） instead of a tourist? 964> Lending to an acquaintance or friend is not a violation. It is not a violation even if the customer is talking back to you, it is gray and not a violation.
It's a relationship, and they don't police every single relationship.

Some renters are looking for a room on this site, but it is a violation if the room is available for less than 90 days in some places. Less than 30 days. It is legal for all of Oahu for more than 30 days.

Also, I sometimes see single family homes for rent in upscale residential areas such as Kahala and Hawaii Kai, what are the specific requirements to legally operate a vacation rental in these areas? <2064> You can register with STR without any problem as long as you meet the number of rooms, number of people, and insurance coverage in accordance with the regulations.
If you want to register Airbnb, etc., the insurance coverage is much more expensive than normal insurance because it is required to have 1 million dollars of insurance coverage.
If you are in Kahala or Hawaii Kai, it may be more economical to rent for 30 days like Colony Surf, because you don't have to pay TVC.
For Vaquelains, you will always pay GET, TAT, and TVU taxes.

The people who exchange cash to say they lent it to an acquaintance or friend are the most profitable in the gray.
Topix, as frustrating as it may be, there are many people who do it well,
I can't and won't do it, but many people do.
It's like Uber. Cab drivers are licensed to do it, but...,

＃ Dear Waikiki
Thank you for your detailed explanation. This is the most troublesome thing that can be excused by exchanging cash for so much as lending it to an acquaintance. Keeping in mind that it may not make sense, I will consider reporting it if it is too annoying. Very helpful.
I hope that people like Mr. Waikiki, who follow the rules and operate the site honestly, will not be harmed.
Thank you very much for your answer.

It's better to do it than not. Good luck.

If you have a noise or drug problem, it is more effective to call 311. When I have reported noise problems and bulky trash, I have been treated well.

＃ Mr. Waikiki
It is better to do than not to do. You are right.
Thank you also for the link to the caller. I will give it a try regardless of the outcome.
Thank you very much.

I understand the complications and your feelings.
The law itself is also complicated, and there are likely to be more changes in the future, such as the minimum 90-day rental （ since last October, where this very Bill 41) was blocked for the time being. The current mayor is cheering for a tough crackdown on illegal vaqueros, but the topic itself has a variety of voices. As mentioned above, I think the most reliable information is to contact DPP.

It's not always the case that because it's in Waikiki, it's ok to buy a vaquero, so the best precaution is to make sure you know exactly what you're getting into before you buy. I think the best way to prevent problems is to do your homework on the property before you buy it.

#Maria Price RA
Thank you again for your comments.
It is a very difficult issue.
I'm sure there are many people who are confused by the enforcement of laws that were not in place when they purchased the property to do vaqueros, and on the other hand, it is not very welcoming for residents to have strangers swapping in and out of a residential area. I will keep an eye on the future fluctuations, taking into account the advice I have received. Thank you both so much for your detailed explanations.
