GUEST RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
READ THOROUGHLY THIS IS A BINDING AGREEMENT
This is a legal agreement between Hawaii Dream Realty LLC (also referred to as “Property Manager”) and you, the Short-Term Renter (also referred to as “Guest” or “Renter”). Hawaii Dream Realty LLC is a licensed real estate firm in Hawaii conducting sales and management on Oahu.
All properties are privately and individually owned and managed by Hawaii Dream Realty LLC on behalf of the individual owner. We are not a “hotel” however we do manage and rent vacation units when the owners are not using them. Units vary by building, amenities, location, size, kitchens, upgrades, improvements, number of guests, and duration of stay.
GUEST REQUIREMENTS: For legal and accounting purposes, the person placing the reservation must at least 22 years of age and be the same as the credit/debit card holder and must register upon check-in. This person is the Guest; any other people involved with the rental are the Guest’s invitees, and all discussion regarding reservation, cancellation, and damages will be discussed with the Guest only, not the Guest’s invitees. All Guests and Guest’s Invitees are required to register with a valid state identification card or passport prior to check-in.
PAYMENT: All payments are in US Dollars. For a reservation greater than 30 days before check-in, a pre-payment equivalent to 20 percent of the reservation total is required. All reservations require a full payment to be received no later than 30 days prior to scheduled check-in date. You may pay with your credit card if the credit/debit card has an expiration date that extends beyond your stay. A credit card processing fee applies to all credit/debit card payments. If your payment is not received by the due date, your reservation will be cancelled.
If the Guest(s) has no valid Visa, Master Card, or Discover Card, a cash or check payment can be arranged which will include an additional $300 refundable damage deposit. This damage deposit will be returned following the departure date, provided there is no breakage or damage to the premises and/or contents and that there are no outstanding charges, no additional cleaning costs, and all other rules of this agreement are adhered to.
If you prefer to pay by a check or money order (payable to Hawaii Dream Realty LLC, PO Box 4569, Honolulu, HI 96815), make certain payment is received 15 days prior to check-in date to allow time for the check deposit to clear.
TAX POLICY: Renter shall be responsible for all applicable taxes imposed by the State of Hawaii or any local jurisdiction. Taxes will be calculated based on the applicable rates and disclosed prior to confirmation. The Renter further acknowledges that all taxes, surcharges, or government-imposed fees are subject to change without notice and agrees to pay any such amounts if required by law.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: You have been advised to secure travel insurance to cancel your trip due to a covered event (including but not limited to mandatory evacuation at the property due to adverse weather or natural disaster).
CANCELLATION: Cancelations made less than 30 days prior to check-in are NOT entitled to any refund. Hawaii Dream Realty LLC cannot refund reservations due to circumstances beyond our control including but not limited to acts of nature such as hurricane, storm-caused evacuations, volcanic eruption, floods, rock/mud slides or tsunami, delays/cancellations of air travel and other transportation services, temporary power outages, water shutdowns or road closures, acts of terrorism or war, illness/injury to someone in your traveling party that may cause you to cancel your trip or any other unforeseen circumstance. Cancellations made prior to 30 days before check-in are subject to a $100 cancellation fee.
DAMAGE POLICY: If, during your stay at one of our rental properties, you and/or one of your guest invitees causes any damage to the property or contents within the rental property or to the building or common areas of the building as a result of advertent or inadvertent acts or omissions, the Guest will reimburse Hawaii Dream Realty LLC for the cost to remedy, repair or replace including all labor, materials and applicable taxes. Hawaii Dream Realty LLC reserves the right to charge the Guest’s credit card for any Guest caused losses and damage sustained to the rental property throughout the duration of their period of occupancy.
In the event of any Guest loss or damage to the rental property, including, but not limited to, extra cleaning, service calls, service charges, fines/violations or evictions, Hawaii Dream Realty LLC is hereby granted the right to charge the Guest’s credit card or damage deposit if paying by check or cash. An itemized statement outlining all associated costs will be sent via regular or electronic mail to the address submitted by the Guest at such time as the reservation was booked. The Guest hereby agrees to pay for all such charges, as defined within this agreement, without disputing charges later.
ARRIVAL TIME: Check-in is at 3:00 pm Hawaii Standard Time. Whenever possible, we will try to accommodate checking in earlier than 3:00 pm if the unit is ready and available but we cannot guarantee availability. Please contact us no later than 3 days prior to your arrival to provide your flight information and or to make special arrangements. If you need to check in BEFORE NOON an early check-in fee equal to one half the nightly rate plus taxes and any applicable fees shall apply provided the unit is vacant, clean and ready to occupy.
DEPARTURE TIME: Check-out is at 11:00 am Hawaii Standard Time. Your timely departure is appreciated so we can prepare the property for incoming guests. We will try to accommodate requests for a one-hour extension to the check-out time if possible; however, an additional fee will be charged (equal to one half of the nightly rate) if you do not return all keys by NOON. If the property has not been vacated by 1:00 pm and a late check out has not been arranged and approved, a fee equal to 2 ½ times the nightly rate plus taxes and applicable fees may be assessed as a penalty as we might have to cancel or re-book the next guest reservation in situations of abandonment.

We reserve the right to contact the police and file a police report if any situation escalates or becomes out of control as deemed by Hawaii Dream Realty LLC.
Please inform us of any change in the number of guests before your arrival or upon checking in to avoid these charges. No exceptions or refunds are given for changes in the number of Guests after your arrival. We do not provide “roll away beds” or other types of temporary bedding. Each unit states the maximum number of occupants the unit can reasonably accommodate.
