Horrible rental
Where should we start
DO NOT believe this is a beach front paradise rental worth $800 a night!!!
1) infested with ants and could not use the master bedroom or bathroom for two days of our stay
2) poor communication with host who when she did contact us about pests blamed the situation on “that’s normal for being on a tropical island”
3) mice in kitchen and mouse droppings present in master bathroom jacuzzi tub ( we have several pics that were submitted)
4) Absolutely NO SMOKE ALARMS anywhere in this rental (The Hawaii state building and fire code inspector will be notified and a formal complaint will be submitted with pictures)
5) Water leak in kitchen from refrigerator / freezer that was never addressed
6) ants in master bedroom master bathroom and laundry room (we documented with several pictures) we also had to clear out all of our clothes from the master bathroom closet as they were covered with ants
7) poor electric service in rental several outlets were loose or not working as several outlets acted overloaded and surged when an appliance or phone charger was plugged in
8) electrical outlet covers improperly installed in casita and host or handyman “fixed” by stuffing paper towels in gap (we have pictures of this)
Property rents for $800 a night and the only positive amenity is the ocean view and the outside shower had hot water
We read previous reviews and took our chances as we use arbnb quite often
This rental was definitely and unequivocally not worth $800 a night
Hopefully unlike other recent negative reviews about this property this review stays on the arbnb site for interested parties to read
We trusted that previous issues would be resolved prior to our week stay obviously renting the property is more important that fixing obvious pest fire safety and electrical issues
They did take care of the homeless person residing by the property though…
When we inquired two weeks prior to our stay about negative reviews the host replied that everything was taken care of and that the negative post was from a “difficult “ person and all issues were fixed
This was definitely not the case
This rental was NOT an accurate description of what to expect
I guarantee that if the host posted pics of the pest issues lack of smoke alarms and electrical problems they would not have renters
Let’s be honest here
a few bugs here and there are okay but definitely not when ants infest the bedding and walls and closets to the point where you have to pack up and move out of the rooms
We are honest and accurate with the issues we experienced and documented everything with pictures
Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else
You would be better off camping in a tent on the beach or jungle than staying here
