The “amazing ocean view” is simply not true, it is in am AMAZING location, i cannot stress that enough. BUT, the host was rude, just about every time we spoke.
She almost insisted i cancel “without penalty” for whatever reason im not sure.
I host Airbnb and use it quite often, we asked for an early check in (i get it, a lot of people dont do it. I host on AirBnB though, and know it’s entirely up to me whether i was to allow and early arrival) so me and my wife landed at 10 am, we very respectfully requested an early arrival, i knew our chances were slim with Hawai’i’ strict covid policies, we figured the cleaning would be extensive and time consuming. Regardless, we were denied rather rudely at that. Okay, fine.
We decided to locate the room before we went to the beach and to get some food while we killed time so that right when 3 Pm hit we could drop all of our stuff off hassle free, upon arrival around 12-1 Pm the cleaning company had come and gone with almost 3 hours left to spare. Again its TOTALLY up to the host, i get that but EVERY time we spoke she (Loren) was rude and almost seemed like “above us” in a way. She had kind of a power trip and “im better than you” attitude on every occasion of speaking. It was almost as if my paying her well over $1,000 was such a burden for her.
The shower was not clean, hair (my one and only stomach weakness. There was hairs of all shapes, sizes and shades in the drain on the curtain and just all through out the bathroom.
Other than that the place really was amazing, more location than the place itself.
I was debating 2 stars but figured it go 3 because, im reviewing the AirBnb and not necessarily Loren. The cleanliness has a good amount to do with the 3 stars as well. Location, location, location. That is the ONLY reason this place is not 2 stars.
