About Arita Group

Equal Parts Strategy and Heart

Megan Arita has spent the last 15 years helping homeowners care for and manage some of Hawaiʻi's most beautiful properties. Born and raised on Oahu, she helped launch the Vacation Rental Division at Elite Pacific Properties (now Gather Vacations) in 2010, and has spent her career building a reputation for high-touch, relationship-driven management rooted in trust, communication, and genuine care.

Megan double-majored in Marketing and Management at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, then went on to serve as Project Engineer for a well-known commercial contracting business before entering luxury property management full-time. Growing up in a family-owned construction business gave her an instinctive understanding of homes that goes well beyond hospitality: from preventative maintenance and renovations to the small details that shape how a home feels, functions, and holds its value over time. When she walks into a property, she sees both the guest experience and the operational picture simultaneously. That dual perspective is rare, and her homeowners feel it.

Specializing in luxury vacation rentals and estate management, Megan is known for her calm presence, sharp responsiveness, and meticulous attention to detail. She works closely with homeowners to protect their investments while crafting an elevated, authentically local, and seamless experience for her guests.

Supporting Megan is Concepcion Alicino as Guest Experience Manager, ensuring every guest interaction is handled with the same care and attention that defines the Arita Group standard. Jela Villahermosa manages the team account, keeping operations running smoothly behind the scenes.

As a longtime Oahu resident, wife, and mother of two, Megan values relationships, intentional living, and creating spaces where people feel truly at home. Outside of work, she can usually be found at the beach with her family, surfing, shell diving, traveling, or enjoying slow mornings by the ocean with her two pugs, Bentley and Gidget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some questions come up often, so we've answered them here. If you don't find what you need, we're a quick message away and happy to help.

The most successful vacation rentals feel effortless from the moment a guest arrives. While beautiful design certainly matters, what guests remember most is how a home made them feel — comfortable, cared for, and completely at ease. The best homes are thoughtfully maintained behind the scenes through proactive care, strong communication, and attention to the small details that shape the overall experience. When a home feels both elevated and genuinely welcoming, guests not only enjoy their stay more, they return.

My management style is proactive, hands-on, and deeply relationship-driven. I never want homeowners or guests to feel like they are chasing someone down for answers or support. Clear communication, quick responsiveness, and preventative care are incredibly important to me because so many larger issues can be avoided by simply staying ahead of them. I believe the best property management feels calm, seamless, and supportive — leaving homeowners knowing their home is genuinely cared for every step of the way.

Growing up around construction and real estate gave me a very practical understanding of property management beyond just hospitality. When I walk into a home, I naturally notice both the guest experience and the operational side — from deferred maintenance to simple ways a space could feel more elevated and welcoming. I genuinely enjoy helping homeowners bring a property to life in a way that feels thoughtful, beautiful, and well cared for without always requiring major renovations or unnecessary spending.

Trust and communication are everything. Homeowners are not only trusting us with a significant investment, but often a place that holds personal meaning and memories for them as well. I believe people feel most supported when they know someone is proactively looking out for their home, communicating clearly, and handling challenges calmly and thoughtfully. Even when issues arise, consistent communication and quick action make all the difference in creating peace of mind for both homeowners and guests.

What I love most about Hawaiʻi is the lifestyle, the connection to the ocean, and the sense of warmth and community that naturally exists here. Guests come wanting more than just a beautiful place to stay — they want to experience the Aloha of Hawaiʻi. I love helping create that experience through thoughtful touches within the home, personalized recommendations, and creating spaces where people can truly relax and feel at ease.
