As a tropical paradise, there is an abundance of feral chickens and roosters throughout the island and geckos. We treat our unit for pests regularly, but given Kauai's tropical climate, you may still cross across something. Also, during the rainy season, you may notice that gnats are at their peak. It is important to keep in mind that these harmless pests may be beyond our control as this is part of Hawaii living. Please remember that these creatures have been here a long time, and as stewards to the islands, we must respect the aina and all that is in it.<br /><br /><br />Prices on Airbnb include Hawaii TAT tax of 13.25%, GE tax of 4.71%, and cleaning fee.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />280170260101, TA-180-941-7728-01
