How ManaHost works
Whether you’re launching your first Airbnb or scaling a portfolio of short-term vacation rentals, ManaHost is your all-in-one STR co-hosting partner in Hawaiʻi. We go far beyond basic co-hosting by combining deep local market expertise with AI-assisted automation and data-driven strategy to optimize pricing, guest experience, and day-to-day operations. From 24/7 guest communication and calendar optimization to cleaning coordination, inventory restocking, and review management, we handle every detail with precision — so you can earn more, stay hands-off, and reclaim your time.
Unlike large, impersonal property management companies, we intentionally keep our client roster small to deliver a truly high-touch experience. You’ll work directly with a dedicated co-host who understands your property and goals, supported by monthly performance reporting and on-demand calls whenever needed — ensuring you’re always informed, in control, and confident in how your STR is performing.
We don’t scale by spreading ourselves thin across hundreds of listings. We scale by doing fewer properties exceptionally well — with focus, strategy, and execution that consistently outperform traditional management models.

Owners who upgrade their photos typically see:
✅ More clicks on their listing

✅ Faster bookings during slow seasons
Photography packages are available upon request. Final pricing may vary depending on property size, location, and specific needs.
The Mana Behind ManaHost
In Hawaiian culture, Mana is often understood as spiritual strength, presence, and the energy behind how things are done. At ManaHost, that principle guides every decision we make, from how we care for homes to how we support owners and create exceptional guest experiences.
We believe short-term rental management should be thoughtful, data-driven, and deeply respectful of the property itself. Hosting isn’t just logistics — it’s stewardship. That’s why we combine advanced automation, AI-assisted strategy, and hands-on local execution to run each home with purpose, precision, and care.
ManaHost was built for owners who want more than basic co-hosting. Whether you live on-island or manage from afar, our role is to remove friction, optimize performance, and protect the long-term value of your home — so you can enjoy the rewards without the stress.
This is hospitality done intentionally.

Meet The Founder
Aloha! I’m Caden Clark, the founder of ManaHost. I started this company with one clear mission: to give Hawai‘i property owners a way to earn real, sustainable income from their homes—without the stress and burnout that often comes with managing guests, cleaners, and constant messages.
My background is rooted in hospitality and guest service, where I learned first-hand how every small detail shapes the guest experience. Over the years, I’ve combined that hands-on expertise with modern tools and AI-powered systems to create a hosting model that’s both highly professional and deeply personal.
What sets ManaHost apart is our balance — we free owners from the daily grind of hosting, while still honoring the unique culture and spirit that makes Hawai‘i properties so special. My goal is simple: to help you earn more, stress less, and know your home is cared for as if it were my own.

What Property Owners Ask Us The Most
We’ve answered the most common questions homeowners ask us before partnering with ManaHost
1. Why should I choose ManaHost to manage my property?
Unlike big management companies that juggle hundreds of listings, ManaHost keeps its client base intentionally small. That means you get personalized service, direct communication, and local expertise. We treat your property like it’s our own — ensuring it performs like a high-end hotel while remaining completely hands-off for you.
2. What if I don’t live on Oʻahu or even in Hawaiʻi?
That’s our specialty. Many of our clients live out of state or even overseas. ManaHost provides local oversight — handling everything from cleanings to guest issues so you can earn passive income from anywhere in the world without worrying about your property.
3. How is nightly pricing decided?
ManaHost uses dynamic pricing software that adjusts rates daily based on market demand, seasonality, and local events. This ensures your listing stays competitive, maximizes occupancy, and generates the highest possible revenue year-round.
4. How much does it cost to work with ManaHost?
We use a simple commission-based model, typically 15–25% of booking revenue. There are no hidden fees, long-term contracts, or upfront costs. You only pay when your property earns money making it completely performance-driven. Our incentives are fully aligned, we only succeed when you do.
5. How do you make sure guests leave 5-star reviews?
We combine smart automation with personal attention. Guests receive fast, professional replies, spotless cleanings from trusted local teams, and fair, competitive pricing that adjusts to market demand. This creates smooth, worry-free stays that naturally lead to 5-star reviews and repeat bookings.
6. How do you screen guests and protect my home?
All guests are screened through Airbnb’s verification system and must agree to strict house rules. We also communicate directly with each guest before check-in to set expectations. Combined with our on-island presence, this keeps your property safe and respected. We proactively flag potential issues before check-in, not after problems occur.
7. Do I still keep control and ownership of my Airbnb account?
Yes. You remain the official Airbnb account holder and all payouts go directly to you. ManaHost manages day-to-day operations like communication, cleanings, and pricing, but you maintain full ownership and transparency.
8. How are cleanings and maintenance handled?
We partner with vetted local cleaners who specialize in vacation rentals. Every turnover is done with hotel-level attention to detail. For maintenance, we coordinate with reliable local vendors and immediately inform you of any issues — so you’re always in the loop without lifting a finger.
9. Can I cancel if I change my mind?
Yes. We don’t lock owners into rigid contracts. If you ever feel ManaHost isn’t the right fit, you’re free to cancel anytime. We believe in earning your trust through performance, not paperwork.
