The Ali'i Collection
An exclusive collection of luxury vacation rentals on the Big Island.
The Ali‘i Collection unites unrivaled local expertise with the power of global resources, offering discerning homeowners personalized property care and above market returns. Our team is more than a trusted presence in Kailua-Kona and along the Kohala Coast. We have become the premier choice for property owners who seek unmatched expertise, exceptional care, and a standard of service that elevates every detail.
About The Ali'i Collection
The Ali‘i Collection was founded on a bold vision: to transform Hawaii’s most extraordinary homes into a private portfolio of world-class vacation rentals.
In 2012, we saw what others overlooked. Most property management companies treated every home the same, chasing volume over quality. We chose a different path. By carefully curating only the finest residences on the Big Island, we elevated vacation rentals to rival luxury hotels, delivering unmatched returns for homeowners and unforgettable experiences for guests.
As our reputation grew, so did our reach. In 2019, we partnered with Gather Vacations, a global leader in property management, to combine exclusive local expertise with enterprise-class systems. This alliance allows us to scale without compromise, preserving the bespoke, hands-on service we’re known for while unlocking world-class distribution, technology, and operational excellence.
Today, The Ali‘i Collection remains true to its founding principle that our portfolio is intentionally selective, ensuring that every home is cared for to the highest standard and every guest stay reflects the prestige of our name. For owners, this means more than peace of mind: it means partnership in an elite collection where excellence is the only measure.

Testimonials
I can hardly describe what an awesome trip we had! The house was absolutely perfect, and incredible and all the things!! The pictures don’t do it justice! Simply amazing, from the views, to the soaking tub, to the kitchen accessories. Everything was absolute perfect and we couldn’t have loved it more! We’re already planning a return next year! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space! It was a dream honeymoon vacation!
William L. about Holua Kai #20Absolutely loved this house for our week in Kona. It had the perfect amount of space, lovely design to make you feel at home, and the pool plus backyard was an amazing addition for continuing to enjoy the Hawaiian sun shine after coming home from the beach and adventuring around the island. Would stay here over and over again.
Jennifer G. about Holua Kai #8We are a family of 4 and we LOVED this house. It felt like a home away from home. After long days or just lounging around, it was always so welcoming and comfortable. We loved the pool right outside the living space for the kids to swim in within ear and eye shot. The house felt very private. We loved the local beach within walking distance. We would go there every day to swim, snorkel, tide pool or just look at the water, fish, and turtles. We liked how there was A/C and TV’s in every room. Local shops, coffee, drug store, grocery store, restaurants, and movie theatre all within walking distance. We loved Sunset Kai Lanai restaurant, right up the hill. Beautiful sunsets from there and the parking lot of the shops.

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 Ali’i Collection is a Big Island luxury vacation rental management company specializing in high end vacation homes and resort residences in Kona and along the Kohala Coast. For over a decade, our team has provided locally based property management services for homeowners seeking a more attentive, hands on approach to vacation rental management in Hawai‘i.
Unlike corporate style vacation rental managers, we intentionally maintain a carefully selected portfolio of luxury homes. This allows our team to stay closely involved in the care, presentation, maintenance, and long-term performance of every property we represent.
With more than 40 years of combined experience in Big Island property management, luxury hospitality, and vacation rental operations, we understand what it takes to protect high value homes while maximizing rental performance.
We provide luxury vacation rental management and property management services throughout the Kona and Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, including Kailua-Kona, Keauhou, Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, and the Mauna Kea Resort area.
Our locally based Kona property management team is deeply familiar with the operational demands of managing luxury vacation rentals in Hawai‘i’s resort communities. From preventative maintenance and inspections to guest experience and vendor coordination, our proximity allows us to provide a higher level of oversight and responsiveness for both homeowners and guests.
The Ali’i Collection combines the personalized service of a locally based Big Island property management team with the infrastructure and marketing reach of Gather Vacations, Hawai‘i’s largest luxury vacation rental platform.
This gives our homeowners access to enterprise level systems, dynamic pricing technology, global marketing exposure, professional accounting safeguards, and advanced vacation rental software while still maintaining the attentive, relationship driven management experience that only a local Kona vacation rental management team can provide.
Many vacation rental management companies offer either local service or large scale infrastructure. We believe luxury homeowners deserve both.
Our team remains directly involved in the day to day performance, care, and presentation of every home we manage. That hands on involvement allows us to maintain operational consistency, stronger communication, and long term accountability for the properties entrusted to us.
Maximizing vacation rental income requires much more than adjusting nightly rates.
Our revenue management strategy combines dynamic pricing technology, real time market data, local market oversight, and hands on operational management to position each property competitively within the Kona and Kohala Coast vacation rental market.
At the same time, we focus heavily on the factors that directly influence booking performance, including professional photography, listing quality, response times, guest communication, reviews, cleanliness standards, and overall guest experience.
Successful vacation rental management is about more than increasing occupancy. It’s about positioning luxury homes correctly, attracting quality guests, maintaining strong reviews, and delivering a consistent experience that supports both nightly rate and long term performance.
Luxury vacation rental management on the Big Island requires constant oversight, fast response times, and a deep understanding of the local market.
As a locally based West Hawaii property management company, we’re able to respond quickly when issues arise, maintain close oversight of each home, and coordinate directly with trusted local vendors, inspectors, cleaners, and maintenance professionals. That level of involvement helps prevent small issues from becoming larger and more expensive problems.
Local knowledge also plays a major role in vacation rental performance. Managing a luxury vacation rental in Hawai‘i involves understanding resort-specific expectations, weather conditions, seasonal demand shifts, county regulations, and the level of service guests expect when traveling to Kona and the Kohala Coast.
That experience directly impacts both the guest experience and the long term success of the property.
