This place was good. However there was a Transient Tax that I was charged last minute. It was an un-welcome surprise but it is the law in Hawaii. I used an old email that I rarely check and caught it last minute before I lost my reservation. I wish I would have received a call or a text.

The house is great. It is as described. The upstairs bathroom does not have a door. Just a curtain. It was kind of odd using the bathroom with my wife and her sister talking outside. Lets just say the curtain does not block any sound.

It did get hot in the house fast. There are 4 AC units but they are controlled by a door sensor that shuts down the units when the door is open. How to operate the units is not intuitive. Took some fiddling with the get the place cool.

We had 3 kids, 4 middle age adults and 3 elderly people stay in the house and were able to accommodate everyone. The outside Grill worked awesome. I cooked some really good steaks! Had all we needed as far as the kitchen was concerned. All in all I think this place was nice. I have stayed in other air bnb places and this one seemed more like a business. There seemed to be less of a personal touch to this place, just the basics. For instance we had 2 rolls of TP for 10 people and we had to purchase our own. Same with paper towels, just provided one roll. Other places I have stayed included ketchup/mustard/ soy sauce/ Q-tips and things like that. This place did not provide any amenities like that so they had to be purchased.

The feeling I got from staying here was not necessarily negative nor was it overly positive. I got what I paid for and I'm happy with that, but I was not "wow'd".

I would recommend staying here but do not expect a mint on your pillow and a fruit basket waiting for you.
