This condo had a lot of great features. The location was perfect…near shops, restaurants, coffee, and the beach. The pool was nice and the area felt safe. The unit was huge and the outdoor space was awesome. We had plenty of toiletries to get started, but if you stay longer than a few days, you will need to purchase additional items. There were AC units in each room and we definitely needed it. The condo came well equipped with lots of beach essentials…we took advantage of the beach chairs, buggy boards, and umbrella. The beds felt clean and the two smaller beds were perfect for our kids. There were plenty of towels and the washer/dryer came in handy. Carpets felt clean and it was nice to see that there was signs to remove your shoes. We only cooked a few times and everything we needed was there.
The only issues we had were the cockroaches. One crawled onto my wife while she was sitting on the sofa. I caught it and put it outside. Needless to say, we never sat on the sofa again. Which was ashamed because it looked like a comfortable sofa. There was a huge dead cockroach in the small bedroom on our last day. We contacted the host rep and she said they treated the unit a month ago and little by little they come out of hiding and die. We understand this is the tropics and there are bugs, but it was still unpleasant. The host rep truly felt sorry. We also had an issue with a leaking water above the main bedroom tub. First water came through the light fixture and then it went through the ceiling. The property manager and the host’s husband came out a few times to address the issue. When we left, I think they found the leak. It wasn’t much of a bother since we were not home while they were fixing the issue, but it was uneasy seeing heavy water coming down the light fixture early in the morning. Overall, we didn’t let these things affect our trip too much. After all, we were finally back in Hawaii and with COVID, we’ve waiting for this trip for 3 years.
