Midori has a great location with a beautiful view. We appreciated the laundry, beach chairs and snorkeling gear that was available to us. We chose to get an SUV and we did not regret that decision to get to the location.
When we first arrived, we noticed multiple geckos inside the home on the windows and ceiling of the upstairs bedroom. Although Midori assured us that they are not harmful and this is very common in Hawaii, it still was unexpected; after closing the windows, we did not see them again except for one upstairs in the bedroom that stayed on the ceiling.
Unfortunately, the geckos became the least of our worries when we came back the first night to find a very large cockroach in the kitchen. Thankfully Midori had Orange Guard spray available that is safe to use around food, humans and pets. After much spraying, that did the job and we used it around our sleeping areas to give us some peace of mind. We thought maybe it was just the one, but the following night we did find another cockroach.
I understand that they're very common in Hawaii, but it obviously made us uncomfortable and didn't make our stay as enjoyable as we had hoped. I did contact Midori about this issue and she explained that before our stay, she had month-long guests and would be sure to take action moving forward. I'm hopeful that this won't be an issue for future guests, but something for you to consider is that staying in a more rural area (such as this Airbnb) increases the odds of cockroaches and/or geckos in the home.
