This is NOT a pristine resort rental in the city hustle bustle, it is so much BETTER!
I was honestly a little worried about the place after reading the latest review, but I am really happy to say that she was totally wrong! Especially for the price point, there is nothing like it on this side of the island. I don’t go to Honolulu, its all about the actual island experience so I pick the country, and I am so glad I did.
The expectations are different out here, It is clearly the country and the property sits up in front of a jungle and its massive and spacious. So expect harmless island creatures, its kind of silly to stay in the jungle and expect there to be no critters (Phillip also mentioned this to me and it is clearly stated in the welcome book for everyone to read) I really enjoyed the cranes, and ducks, and I even saw a pig from a distance that just ran off. He gave us a tour, and I did not see him again at all for the rest of the trip, although he said he was available if anything came up and with such a vast property that looks like it has a lot of moving parts, I found that comforting, yet private. It was a no neighbor top of the hill feeling and it was sublime.
This place is at an amazing location, the views are amazing, and wonderful beaches are close by.
This place could use some updates, and if you wanted to be really picky, some of the fixtures in the bathroom have rust on it, but there is absolutely no mold, everything was extremely clean, everything worked, and the house was so beautiful and charming that I hardly noticed all the little defects. I just really enjoyed being there.
There are air conditioners units in both bedrooms and my grandkids were very comfortable on both beds. The master bedroom and bathroom were incredible and the bed was comfortable and clean. The huge multiple jet bathtub alone is worth this trip. The bedroom had curtains everywhere including the bathroom.
Its just a beautiful luxurious property but really warm and comfortable at the same time. More of a grand family home feeling with some quirks than a stiff, sterile and no character resort type with resort prices. I highly recommend staying here, for the actual experience, it far exceeded all of my expectations and I want to come back!
