Aloha. More likely than not, if there is a unit listed for rent on VRBO, there are photos and quotes from previous guests, then you're okay and the place is legit. However, if you want more assurance, the best thing you can do is rent a unit through a Vacation Rental and/or property manager. The paperwork will be long, but you'll be dealing with a person whose job it is to make sure your stay is fabulous! One of the best is Hawaiian Beach Rentals:
