The space was adequate to accommodate my family of 5. The property in general is beautiful. The location is about 1.25 hours to Waikiki. The beach is a short drive away and is beautiful, but gets crowded quickly. It needs some repairs to basic items in the house to make it worth the price. I have family in Hawaii and due to COVID, we were trying to be safe. This place is really far from Honolulu. If you want to just stay in the small town of Hailewa, it’s ok, but if you’re not used to driving in Hawaii, I don’t recommend it for first time visitors.
We mostly just used it as a space to keep our luggage so that we could our family in Kailua. The coffeemaker, toaster oven, and fridge are newish and we used them to keep food for breakfasts and late night snacks. It was nice to have the kitchen fully stocked with plates, utensils, cups, mugs, etc.
There’s no AC. The breeze was fine at night. The one problem was that the house was damp all day so the towels we used to shower with were musty and damp too. We washed clothes and towels couple of times during our 5 day stay. The washing machine had mold.
We didn’t use the pool b/c it wasn’t clean. The game room was dusty. The outdoor shower was dirty. The indoor shower was very difficult to use because the handle is broken. The toilet in the powder room was very difficult to flush. The sofa sleeper was uncomfortable. The bed in the mail room had ants.
The space is overpriced for its present condition. It was not well-kept. It’s far from the city. We were really unhappy with this place. We paid $2500 to stay for 5 days and that includes a cleaning fee. I don’t know what the cleaning fee covers though.
