This is a beautiful house and the location on the island is perfect for exploring Hanalei. Everything was very clean and they even had beach toys for our toddler to use.
Our main issue was the AC as it was very hot when we were there. The listing does mention that there is no central AC but that there are AC units… however, it leaves out that there are no AC units in the living spaces. It gets extremely hot during the day even with the windows open / fans on. My wife is currently pregnant and if we were home during the middle of the day we had to hang out in the smallest bedroom to get cool. The AC unit in the primary bedroom can’t keep the room cool because of the tall ceilings / it would usually take until about 11pm for that room to cool down even with the AC unit on full blast.
A safety note to consider is that the bedroom AC units require you to have the sliding glass doors open for the unit to vent… so if you have toddlers or small children, they can easily walk outside in the middle of the night if you are using the AC.
I contacted Vacasa about all of these concerns and they were extremely dismissive and did nothing to help the situation. Although the house was beautiful, I would not reccomend staying here… especially during the summer.
