Kailua FAQ

Can STR guests park on the street?

Many Kailua blocks restrict street parking to residents with permits, so listings should direct guests to on-site stalls only.

How many stalls do I need?

DPP generally expects at least one on-site stall per bedroom for B&Bs under the Sec. 21-5.730 parking plan review.

Urban Honolulu FAQ

Do guests need parking passes in Waikiki buildings?

Most Waikiki condos require guest parking passes; the STR parking plan on file with DPP should document how guest vehicles will be accommodated in deeded stalls.

Can I advertise that guests use on-street parking?

No. Sec. 21-5.730 requires on-site off-street parking per the approved plan; advertising otherwise undermines compliance and invites enforcement.
