Pros:
-Beautiful view and outdoor space/living, no need to spend time anywhere else, one of the best views you'll find
-Tons of space for larger groups (we had 12 ppl and it didn't feel crowded at all in any area of the house)
-Rooms are spacious and most private spaces have a bathroom which is hard to find, no shortage of bathrooms which is a huge bonus in airbnb's
-The guest house is a great extra space, like a private suite
-The house has a high chair and a crib which is amazing when you have a little one
Cons:
-Lots of bugs everywhere since doors have to stay open for air into the main area (also since the outdoor space is used a ton). We had to put the bug repellers away because we had little ones who could get ahold of them.
-The main area of the home does get warm, rooms stay nice and cool, overall it's tolerable
-Floor is all tile so it's not the most kid friendly, but you can absolutely make it work like we did (we used the rug in the guest house and the rug in the living room and just placed them in the big open area in front of the piano with that sliding door closed, it actually created a good infant kid play space)
-The main fridge in the kitchen didn't get our very drinks cold, which is very unsatisfying when you're in Hawaii and it's HOT. (The host's came over without an invitation after 9pm and cleared out the moldy garage fridge and suggested that we move all of our items to the garage fridge)
-The freezer took over 24 hours to freeze breastmilk.
-The shower head in one of the guest bedrooms didn't work, and in all of the guest bedrooms our guests had to take intermittent cold showers. There was an issue with the water pressure and temperature in most guest bedroom showers.
-Lastly, the hosts are not the best to deal with when things go wrong. They don't own up to issues that they can't fix and will absolutely 1) refuse and 2) turn the issue on you if you ask for compensation for it.
Bottom line is, If you can deal with the cons I've listed, and you can deal with the host not "making it right" when something they can't fix goes wrong, you'll be fine. The place is beautiful otherwise, hosts do not match the beauty of the house.
