Location! Location! Location! Right in the heart of everything in Halewia, we could walk everywhere...even to the beach. Couldn't have asked for a better North shore experience.
The host was very responsive and provided a pack n play for us and extra toiletries.
Unfortunately the property has seen better days and really needs to be remodeled. There was a musty/mildew smell that never really went away during our 10 day stay. It was also weird that there were notes on the toilets asking us to not flush even toilet paper...
Due to the need of updating and the smell, I think that the property was over priced. Plus it was disconcerting to have to pay the taxes directly to the host after paying Airbnb.
The pictures are misleading, and the other house on the property was very very close. I was excited to have the bedroom doors open to the deck, but with the guests in the other house walked right past when exiting...glad I was dressed when I discovered this!
One good thing is that the house didn't have any typical insect problems common in tropical settings. Just some extra mosquitos due to the lush garden surrounding the house.
Lastly, the property is up for sale, and there were contractors almost daily.
