AirROI ranking · 202635 companies ranked
Hawaii Americana Realty is Honolulu's largest Airbnb management company, with 300 of the city's 5,850 active listings in the 12 months to September 2026. VYBE Hawaii's homes out-earn similar owner-run ones by the most (+96% across 145 homes), Island Stays Hawaii's are the best rated (4.95 over 874 reviews), and Ali’i Beach Rentals grew fastest (+53 listings in a year).
One company per title, among companies that manage homes for owners, 12 months to September 2026.
The short answer
A good manager can pay for itself in Honolulu. Of the 11 companies with 10 or more year-round homes to compare, 8 out-earn similar homes by enough to cover a 20% fee.
In the 12 months to September 2026, Honolulu's largest Airbnb and vacation rental management company was Hawaii Americana Realty, with 300 of the city's 5,850 active Airbnb listings; Captain Cook Resorts was next with 174. In all, 35 companies ran five or more Honolulu listings.
"Similar owner-run homes" are homes whose owner runs only that one Honolulu listing, with no co-host, the same bedrooms and room type, listed all year and open on 240+ nights, booked on 60+ of them, with 5+ reviews. Revenue is what each home earned on Airbnb, estimated from booked nights and rates; stays sold on other sites or direct aren't counted.
Revenue, occupancy and nightly rates across the whole market are in the Honolulu Airbnb market report .
The ranking
Companies are ranked by the active Honolulu listings they run, as host or as co-host on an owner's account. "Lead vs similar" shows how much more a company's homes earned than owner-run Honolulu homes with the same number of bedrooms and room type, where they earned more, so a company of big houses isn't flattered by their size.
Of the 7 top-ranked companies that host mainly on their own accounts, 6 grew over the past year.

Shortlist
A company that runs studios well may not suit a four-bedroom house. For each size, these are the Honolulu companies whose homes of that size out-earn owner-run homes of the same size by enough to cover a 20% fee (25% or more), on at least five year-round homes of that size, rated 4.7 or higher over 100 or more reviews. Leads of 150% or more are left out: that's more than management usually explains.
No company has 5 or more year-round 3-bedroom homes to compare yet.
No company has 5 or more year-round 4+ bedroom homes to compare yet.
Each figure is revenue against owner-run homes with the same bedrooms and room type, on the company's year-round homes of that size only. "Small sample" marks a figure on five to nine homes: a lead to follow up, not a result. It says what the company's homes earned, not what yours will.
Fees
Few management companies publish their fees. Of the 81 companies AirROI checked in 6 US cities in September 2026, 9 publish a rate, from 10% to 30% of booking revenue with a median starting rate of 15%, and 49 quote only on request. Expect to ask each Honolulu company you shortlist for a quote.
Get the rate in writing along with what it's charged on: some companies take their share of the nightly rate only, others of everything the guest pays, cleaning fee included. With the company-run median Honolulu cleaning fee of $179, a 20% rate that also applies to cleaning takes another $36 from every stay. Ask too what's billed on top (linen, repairs, a setup fee) and how much notice ends the contract.
At the median starting rate, rounded to 15%, a manager has to lift revenue by 18% to leave an owner where they started, and 64% of company-run Honolulu homes earned at least that much more than the owner-run median for their size, against 35% of owner-run homes with no manager at all.
What a fee costs a year on a median Honolulu home
| Home | Median revenue | 15% fee | 20% fee | 25% fee | 30% fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $50,700 | $7,605 | $10,140 | $12,675 | $15,210 |
| 2 bedrooms | $80,700 | $12,105 | $16,140 | $20,175 | $24,210 |
| 3 bedrooms | $66,400 | $9,960 | $13,280 | $16,600 | $19,920 |
| 4 bedrooms | $41,500 | $6,225 | $8,300 | $10,375 | $12,450 |
The fee on the median booking revenue of entire homes listed all 12 months, at common rates. A company's quote for your home can differ; ask for the full rate card in writing.
The numbers
Across Honolulu, listings run by companies earned 41% more than owner-run listings with the same number of bedrooms and room type over the 12 months to September 2026, with nightly rates 22% higher and occupancy 7% higher.
A company charging a share of revenue pays for itself on revenue alone when it lifts income by more than the share: a 20% fee needs a 25% lift, and 8 of the 11 Honolulu companies with enough homes to compare clear it. The table shows how many company-run homes clear each bar:
Company-run homes that earn enough to cover each fee
A home "earns it" when its revenue over the 12 months to September 2026 beat the owner-run median for homes of the same room type and bedroom count by at least the lift shown. Homes listed all year only.
Read the 20% row. 60% of company-run Honolulu homes earned at least 25% more than the owner-run median for their size, enough to pay that fee and still leave the owner ahead. 34% of owner-run homes cleared the same mark with no manager at all, so a company-run home is 26 percentage points more likely to clear the bar, beyond the ±10 points that chance alone could produce on these numbers. Ask any manager to show you homes of its own that clear it.
Company-run homes out-earn similar owner-run ones whichever account they sit on: those a company co-hosts on the owner's own Airbnb account earned 23% more than similar owner-run homes, and those on a company's own account 45% more. Of all 946 year-round company-run Honolulu homes, 152 stay on the owner's own account, with the company as co-host. Owners who keep the listing on their own account keep its reviews if they change manager.
Results vary by company, and the ranking shows the companies whose homes lead similar ones. Managers also choose the homes they take on, so part of any lead reflects the homes, and the comparison matches homes by room type and bedrooms only, not by street or finish. It counts Airbnb bookings only.
Profiles
The six top-ranked companies; the one beyond them whose homes most out-earn similar ones (by the 25% or more a 20% fee needs, across 15 or more year-round homes, rated 4.7 or higher over 100 or more reviews); and the next three top-ranked with enough homes to compare: what each runs, where, and how its homes compare with similar owner-run Honolulu homes. Each card's revenue, per-night and nights figures are medians across its homes, so the last two don't multiply to the first.

Benchmarks
A manager's projection is only as good as the homes it is compared with. These are the typical results for Honolulu entire homes listed for all 12 months, by bedroom count, over the 12 months to September 2026.
What Honolulu entire homes earned a year, by bedroom count
| Home | Median | Top quarter over | To net the median after 20% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom 2,120 homes | $50,700 | $83,200 | $63,380 |
| 2 bedrooms 640 homes | $80,700 | $143,000 | $100,880 |
| 3 bedrooms 99 homes | $66,400 | $159,000 | $83,000 |
| 4 bedrooms 29 homes | $41,500 | $64,200 | $51,880 |
Booking revenue of entire homes listed all 12 months. A quarter of homes earned less than the bottom-quarter figure and a quarter more than the top-quarter one. The last column is what a home has to earn for a 20% fee to leave its owner the median.
A projection above the top-quarter line for your size of home ($143,000 for a two-bedroom) should come with the comparable homes the company already runs. The fee changes the sum: on a two-bedroom earning the median $80,700, a 20% fee comes to $16,140 a year and leaves its owner $64,560, so to leave you with the median a manager has to bring in $100,880. The typical three-bedroom here earned no more than the typical two-bedroom ($66,400 against $80,700), because it booked fewer nights (54% occupancy against 61%). Location and finish count as much as size, so question a projection that prices the extra bedroom as a big premium.
Before comparing managers' fees, see what the home itself could earn: the Airbnb income calculator gives a revenue range for one Honolulu address from comparable listings.
Market structure
Hosts with a single listing run 12% of Honolulu's Airbnbs. Accounts with 20 or more listings, companies, individuals and hotels alike, run 47%. These bands count Airbnb accounts, not brands, so a company with several accounts can sit in more than one. The share Airbnb flags as professionally managed rose from 9% to 17% over the year.
Accounts with 20 or more listings run 47% of Honolulu's Airbnbs
Share of Honolulu's 5,850 active listings, by how many listings their operator runs in the city
40% of Honolulu's listings name at least one co-host. Many management companies work that way: the listing, its reviews and its payouts stay on the owner's account, and the company runs it as co-host. The profiles above show how much of each company's portfolio runs on owners' accounts. Airbnb's own "professional host" flag covers 17% of listings; it marks hosts who run several homes, companies or not, so it isn't the same measure as the company share.

Rules
The rules follow the property, whoever runs it. Short-term renting in Honolulu is allowed, but only in resort-zoned areas and a few mapped apartment areas, with a $1,000 city registration; almost everywhere else on Oahu a stay under 30 nights is not allowed.
The Honolulu Airbnb regulations page covers the permit, fees, operating limits and taxes, each linked to its official source. A manager that takes on your home should handle the permit and tax filings, and the contract should say who does what.
FAQ
Hawaii Americana Realty runs 300 active Honolulu Airbnb listings, more than any other company in AirROI's data for the 12 months to September 2026, ahead of Captain Cook Resorts (174) and VYBE Hawaii (163).
In the 12 months to September 2026, 25 management companies ran 10 or more active Honolulu listings, and 35 ran 5 or more. Many smaller managers work as co-hosts on owners' accounts; they are counted on every listing they co-host.
Airbnb's own "professional host" flag, which also covers individuals who run several homes, is on 17%, against 9% a year earlier. 40% list at least one co-host.
Yes, on average. In the 12 months to September 2026, Honolulu homes run by companies with 10 or more listings earned 41% more than owner-run homes with the same number of bedrooms and room type (584 company-run and 99 owner-run year-round homes), according to AirROI. Company by company, 9 of the 11 with 10 or more year-round homes to compare out-earned similar homes, and 8 by the 25% or more that a 20% fee needs. Company-run homes also charge 22% more a night than owner-run homes of the same size. Managers also choose which homes they take on, so part of any gap reflects the homes themselves.
Often: the typical company-run Honolulu home earned 41% more than a similar owner-run one in the 12 months to September 2026, enough to cover a fee of up to about 29%. 8 of the 11 Honolulu companies with 10 or more year-round homes out-earn similar owner-run homes by the 25% or more a 20% fee needs, led by VYBE Hawaii (+96%), Midway Vacations (+73%) and Captain Cook Resorts (+47%). 60% of company-run Honolulu homes earned 25% or more above the owner-run median for their size, enough to cover a 20% fee, against 34% of owner-run homes with no manager. A manager also buys back the time hosting takes: guest messages, cleaning, pricing and upkeep.
Few management companies publish their fees. Of the 81 companies AirROI checked in 6 US cities in September 2026, 9 publish a rate, from 10% to 30% of booking revenue with a median starting rate of 15%, and 49 quote only on request. So ask each Honolulu company for its rate in writing, and whether it's a share of nightly revenue only or of cleaning fees too. What a fee has to earn is fixed: a 20% fee needs a 25% lift in revenue to leave you where you started, and a 30% fee needs 43%. In Honolulu, the typical company-run home's lead over similar owner-run ones would cover a fee of up to about 29%.
On AirROI's data for the 12 months to September 2026, the Honolulu companies whose homes most out-earn similar owner-run homes are VYBE Hawaii (+96% across 145 homes, rated 4.90), Midway Vacations (+73% across 104 homes, rated 4.82) and Captain Cook Resorts (+47% across 103 homes, rated 4.79). That counts companies with 15 or more year-round homes, an average guest rating of 4.7 or higher over 100 or more reviews, and a lead of at least 25%, enough to cover a 20% fee. No single measure makes a company best for your home: check that it runs homes like yours, in your area, before you sign.
The median 2-bedroom entire home in Honolulu earned $80,700 in the 12 months to September 2026, and the top quarter earned $143,000 or more, at a median 61% occupancy.
Among Honolulu management companies with at least 10 rated listings and 100 reviews, Island Stays Hawaii (4.95), VYBE Hawaii (4.90) and Aloha by Charlie (4.85) had the highest average guest ratings in the 12 months to September 2026.
Ali’i Beach Rentals (+53 listings), Captain Cook Resorts (+29 listings), Aloha by Charlie (+29 listings) added the most listings on their own Airbnb accounts over the past year.
A co-host helps run a listing that stays on the owner's Airbnb account, from messaging guests to pricing and cleaning, so the listing, its reviews and its payouts stay with the owner if the manager changes. A listing on a company's own account belongs to the company, and its reviews usually don't move with the home. 40% of Honolulu's active listings name at least one co-host, and several of the companies above run most of their homes that way.
Yes: the rules apply to the property whoever runs it. Short-term renting in Honolulu is allowed, but only in resort-zoned areas and a few mapped apartment areas, with a $1,000 city registration; almost everywhere else on Oahu a stay under 30 nights is not allowed. The Honolulu Airbnb regulations page has the permit steps, fees and taxes.
By the number of active Honolulu Airbnb listings each company runs, as host or co-host, in the 12 months to September 2026. Individual hosts who don't trade as a business are not named.
Method
The ranking counts active Airbnb listings in Honolulu over the 12 months to September 2026, on the same definition as AirROI's Honolulu market report, so the totals match. A listing counts toward its host account and toward every co-host named on it, because many companies run homes on the owner's own account. A company that runs several Airbnb accounts under one brand appears once, with the accounts combined.
Accounts are classified from their names, and the Honolulu accounts with the most listings were checked by hand. Only property-management businesses are ranked, under the name they trade as; individual hosts who don't trade as a business count in every market figure but are never named, and neither are accounts with a generic name, such as "Property" or "Concierge", that can't be tied to a company. Hotels and serviced-apartment operators that list their own rooms are left out, and so are companies that mostly take stays of a month or more, because they compete with rentals rather than holiday lets.
"Lead vs similar" compares each of a company's homes with the median owner-run Honolulu home of the same bedroom count and room type, and reports the median of those comparisons. The figure is shown where a company's homes earn more than similar ones. A lower figure isn't shown: on Airbnb data alone it mostly reflects listings that are new or re-listed and still building reviews, or homes that differ in ways a bedroom count misses, rather than the management. Only homes listed for the whole 12 months and open to bookings on at least 240 nights, booked on 60 or more, with 5 or more reviews count, on both sides, so a company that added homes mid-year isn't marked down for their short first year, a listing that sits idle or is too new to have reviews doesn't stand for its company, and an owner who rents out their own home a few weekends a year doesn't set the benchmark. Companies with fewer than five such homes show a dash, and those with fewer than ten show "few": too few to compare fairly, so their figures are never quoted. The ranking by revenue needs at least 15. The shortlist by home size needs five homes of a size and marks a figure on fewer than ten as a small sample. The ± bands treat homes as independent; homes run by one company resemble each other, so the true uncertainty is somewhat wider. The profiles split revenue into revenue per booked night and nights booked, on the same homes, each against the owner-run median for that measure. A home's revenue is the one times the other, but the three medians don't multiply: among owner-run homes, the ones that charge more tend to book fewer nights, so the median rate times the median nights isn't the median revenue. A company's rating averages its listings' overall Airbnb ratings, weighted by their reviews. Revenue is gross Airbnb booking revenue, estimated from booked nights and rates, before any management fee. Stays a company or owner sells on other sites or direct aren't counted, so a company that sells much of its calendar elsewhere can look weaker here than it is; that applies to owner-run homes too. A home counts toward the company named on it now, so a home that changed manager during the year brings months run by its previous one.
The fee figures pool the rates management companies publish on their own websites, checked by hand in September 2026 in the 6 US cities AirROI researched. No company's rate is shown on its own: most quote each home on request, so the page gives the spread of the published rates instead.
Growth counts the listings a company hosts on its own Airbnb accounts now against 12 months earlier. Companies that mostly co-host on owners' accounts show no growth figure, because Airbnb's co-host records from a year ago are incomplete, and accounts with no listings a year ago are marked new rather than ranked for growth.
The page is rebuilt each quarter from the latest listing data. A company that thinks its figures are wrong can write to AirROI, and corrections are checked against the listing data.
