We chose to stay here because of the pictures of the ocean and we were rewarded with great views of Lanai and Molokai and daily green sea turtles swimming in the surf. The view from the balcony is gorgeous.
We also were looking forward to preparing our own meals. While the kitchen is well stocked, the dishwasher was broken and moldy. No kitchen towels were provided so we used bathroom hand towels. Cleaning up was challenging.
During our stay we dropped something under the living room couch and found a thick layer of dust/dirt under the couch that we then cleaned up. While packing to leave we found thicker layers of dust/dirt under each of the beds.
The first night going to bed, we found the sheets had residual soap on them. When we went to find sheets to change the bed, we found there were no additional sheets. The host had some sheets delivered the next afternoon.
Overall, the unit is dated and in need of a thorough cleaning and repairs.
