My husband and I live in what used to be a quiet residential neighborhood of mostly
retired people, who go to bed early and get up early. For the 15 years that we have
owned the house there have always been a number of 99ohana" units in the
neighborhood that have been rented out as vacation rentals. There has never been a
problem,with these because the owners are right there and keep everything under
control. In the last few years, however, many of the homes around us that have been
sold have been turned into vacation rentals, with the owners living on the mainland.
There are at least 10 of these within a couple blocks of our home. One such owner
has 6 of these vacation rentals, and the one that they own behind us is listed as 5
bedrooms, sleeps 18. You can imagine the kinds of groups they get in there, and
there is no one to control them. Kids jumping in the pool all day, yelling and
screaming as loud as they want, and adults out on the lanai partying until all hours of
the night. Many neighbors, as well as ourselves, have tried asking them to quiet
down, sometimes at 11 PM or later, but they cannot even hear us, let alone do what
we request. The police have been called a number of times, but there is not much
they can do other than ask them to quiet down. I feel it is not right that someone with
a lot of money to invest in these houses and who knows and cares nothing about the
neighborhood is causing us to seriously consider selling the home that we have loved
living in for so long.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Aloha,
