This is an honest review.
If you are looking for a beach-front-ish house on a budget, this may be a REASONABLE place for you. With three bedrooms available, it was great for 5 guests to feel comfortable without running into each other constantly. The location is awesome and is very walkable. You can walk to Ted’s Bakery for breakfast and the beach access was very easy on foot.
To be very frank, all other aspects aside from the location was ‘OKAY’, in fact disappointing. I have stayed at many different Airbnb’s in the past and this was one of the pricier option given that it’s in Hawaii. Amenities for beach going was dirty but plentiful, but I would not anticipate anything more than that. If you plan to cook at all, there were no cooking ingredients aside from salt and pepper and all pantries were empty.
Coffee/tea is essential in all vacation stays in my opinion and has always been a part of the amenity in every Airbnb that I have stayed at EXCEPT this one. There are no grocery store within walking distance so plan ahead. Many aspects of the house were outdated and there appeared to be water damage to the ceiling. Towels did not smell great thus query if it has been dried thoroughly or changed out at all. Mattresses were comfortable so we were able to get restful sleep, and the neighborhood is quiet.
Overall, I would not recommend this place if you are looking to do some cooking at home and if updated amenities are important to you. It is over-priced for what you get. However, if you plan to stay out all day and want to be very close to the beach, this is a good option.
