There are a couple of 2-bedroom fee simple condos in Poipu and over the weekend I showed one which already had 2 offers and were expecting more. A couple of Poipu Crater units came on the market and there are back-to-back showings with multiple offers expected.
This hyper activity is happening in many other markets, no doubt in the area where you live. Navigating this fee simple market takes patience, commitment and having you method of purchasing in place.

VDA (Visitor Destination Area) And Why That Matters To Buyers/Sellers
Thinking about buying a vacation rental property on Kaua’i? Listen to what a leading vacation rental expert says about some things you should consider including on your checklist. This is the third segment in my video series with Linda Sylvester of Koloa Kai Vacation Rentals. It was a pleasure to talk with someone so knowledgeable, listen in to what she has to say on this subject.
Why You Need To Know About VDA and Kauai Vacation Rentals
What is a “VDA” and why is that important to those looking to buy a vacation rental here on Kauai? VDA stands for Visitor Destination Area. These are areas identified by the County of Kauai which allow short term rentals which would be defined anything less than a 6 months.
There are three main areas that allow Vacation Renting and have a large number of condominiums/homes that are in the VDA, those areas are Poipu, Princeville, Kapaa and some sections of Lihue. But even in these areas there will be spots that do not allow for vacation renting.
This is my third video with Linda Sylvester and in this segment I ask her to explain VDA and what Buyers should be thinking about when making a purchase. If your intent is to rent out your property when you are not using it yourself, you’ll want to make sure you check with a local real estate professional who can help guide you to properties that would fit this criteria.
