I have a rental equipment business. I deliver rentals before guest arrive and then pickup once they depart.   Depending on unit, I would think the challenge for owners is low maintenance (durable floors, not carpet, ect)  and keeping the unit booked.  There are lots of creative ways to get units booked. Look online at other vacation rental markets and use great ideas.  Getting great management on Kauai is the key.  Lots of great property managers on Kauai.  Just like everything if there are great ones that means there is some not so great ones also. Do your homework.  

Occupancy rates on Kauai are pretty predictable and is 70% average year around (my guess). Only 3 areas where county allows vacation rentals on our island. Most vacation property owners I know say rate for management is more like 50%. It's a tough, expensive market to do vacation rentals, but there are plenty doing it Happy Aloha Sunday!

I am boots on the ground in Kauai, Hawaii. I go in and out of vacation rental houses, condos, time share, ect everyday. If you have questions about Kauai, bring it on
