HawaiiGaga.com is a vacation rental directory. We list
vacation rentals managed by property management companies and vacation
homeowners. Our listings come from owners, managers, and affiliates who supply
us with rental listings from their inventory. When you book a rental, you will be
dealing directly with the owner or manager of the rental. Each rental listing includes
links to the owner or manager’s reservation website where you'll find
detailed information including exact rates for your dates. In some cases, owner’s
handle bookings “offline” - such listings include an inquiry form to allow you
to contact them.
Analytics & Cookies
We use third party software to collect “analytics”
information about our site. Analytics is information that tells us how people
use the site and where they come from. We use this information to monitor:
how many visitors the site gets, which pages are popular, what type of browsers
and devices visitors use, and how they navigate the site. The analytics
software also records IP addresses. We do not share our analytics data. The analytics
software’s privacy statement can be found here. You can opt-out of participating
in the analytics here. Some web browsers opt out by default.
We use cookies to save the search preferences you submit to the
site while browsing rental listings (e.g. travel dates). We also use cookies
to save any rentals that you save to your "favorites." These cookies are stored
in your browser’s cache until you clear the cache.
Creating an Account
It is not necessary to create an account to use the site.
This feature exists as an alternative method to permanently save “favorite” rentals
in your account instead of your browser’s cache via cookies, and to support homeowners who
need to edit their rental listings. Account information (your email address) is
not shared with any third party.
Your Email Address
When you fill out an inquiry form on a rental listing page
to contact an owner, or submit an inquiry to us from
our contact page, we use 3rd party software to deliver the email.
Their privacy statement can be found here. Your email address will be sent to
the rental homeowner. The inquiry goes directly to the homeowner and is also CC’ed to us for quality control and spam detection. We do
not share your email address or subscribe you to any mailing lists. We do not
receive any subsequent emails between you and the rental owner.
Legal Rentals
HawaiiGaga.com allows only “legal” vacation rentals to list
in our directory. In Hawaii, some vacation rentals need permits to operate.
This depends on their location, zoning, and specific county regulations
regarding short term rentals. A “legal” rental is one that either has a permit
when required or does not require a permit.
Although we try to exclude “illegal” rentals from our
directory, we can not guarantee that all rentals listed on the site are legal
rentals. In certain jurisdictions that require permits, rentals can operate
without a permit if they allow only 30+ night stays. Such rentals must clearly
indicate that the minimum stay is 30+ nights and not allow bookings of less
than that.
You can contact us if you have questions or concerns about the legality of
rental.
Accuracy of Information
Listing information is provided by homeowners, property
managers, and our affiliates who supply us with listing data.
We can not guarantee that a rental listing’s information is
accurate. Listed rental rates are for reference only and based on the average price. Before booking, please verify important details on the
manager/owner’s reservation site which contains comprehensive information
and exact pricing for your specific dates. When in doubt, contact them before booking to verify any important details.
Bookings
We do not handle reservations or participate in the booking
process. Rental listing pages may either contain links to a owner/manager’s
reservation website, or an inquiry form which allows you submit an email
inquiry to the owner. In the case of submitting an inquiry, the owner will
respond with more information about the rental, a price quote, and information
on how to complete the booking.
Most owners, and all management companies, utilize a
reservation processing website to complete bookings. When viewing a listing,
the “Visit Owner/Manager’s Website” link will direct you to the owner/manager’s
reservation site where you'll find detailed information about the unit
including an exact price quote for your dates, cancellation policies, deposit
instructions etc. Before completing a booking, refer to the specific reservation
website’s privacy statement for information regarding what data they collect when you
complete a reservation.
When you click on the "Visit Owner/Manager's Website" or "Availability Calendar" links on a listing,
we may use third party software to track and log bookings that are completed on the reservation site. This software logs that you were referred from our site, and
in coordination with the reservation site, records if you completed a booking.
Information shared with us includes the date the booking was made and the amount
of the booking. No personal information is shared. The tracking software's privacy statement can be found here.
Most rental owners in Hawaii use Vrbo® as their reservation and booking platform, and in many cases you will be directed to their site to complete a reservation.
Their privacy policy can be found here.
Car Reservations
If you reserve a car rental with Discount Hawaii Car Rental
utilizing one of the links on our website, they share with us the details of
your reservation: your name, rental dates, airport pickup, email, and telephone
number. We do not manage the car rental reservation - the information is shared with us to highlight that we
were responsible for acquiring the reservation. We do not share this
information with any 3rd party, and do not use this information to
contact you for any reason.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act

property managers, and our affiliates. Our DMCA policy statement can be found here.
