Thomas was very easy to communicate with and an excellent host. Beach towels were provided and a note of welcome at the door was a nice touch. Check-in was easy and instructions were very clear. The location is located a block from the beach, so if you are expecting ocean views, that is not the case (and is accurately noted in the listing description).
The place was clean. We encountered only 1 or 2 house flies, which is to be expected in a place like Hawaii and has no reflection on its cleanliness.
One of the highlights was the very comfortable king bed that was wonderful to come back to after days of adventuring.
Note that the A/C is in the living room, but there is a fan in the bedroom. We visited in end of Winter/beginning of Spring and this was not an issue for us.
Regarding value: Hawaii is an expensive place. Outside of Hawaii, at this price, one would expect a large, upgraded unit with multiple rooms. However, within Hawaii, the unit is relatively competitively priced and was actually the most cost-effective one we could find at the time.
Overall, would recommend staying here for ease of access to amenities, a beach and for a relatively cost-effective and worry-free option.
Mahalo!
