Macuu222,
But is that really a vacation rental, or just sharing amongst friends?
I think this law is aimed at the literally 1000s of VRBO places found across all the islands. On any given day craigslist has close to 100 listings for just this island, and even more for Maui and Kauai. These places fly under the radar in terms of licenses and taxes, but are pretty overt in their advertising. I think the word of mouth/renting to friends people will continue to fly under the radar, but the people who live on the mainland, use mainland contact numbers, and advertise with VRBO to rent a resort condo for $500 a night can afford to pay a management team and the GET.
