We stayed at David's place for 4 nights. Following are some points which I would like to share about David's place.
1) Firstly, in my opinion, this place should not be strongly advertised as having "Ocean views" when all the ocean you can see is a small blue patch of water in distance. Majority of the view when you step out in the balcony is apartment pool, tropical plants in apartment garden, rooftops/solar panels of adjacent buildings and only a small patch of ocean water. The ocean view photo in the listing is a zoomed in photo of the ocean.
I would say this more of a garden view (which also is a pretty) but clearly not an ocean view. Something to consider when booking in case you are looking for a place with good ocean views.
2) The owner is very strict with checkout time, even if the place is unoccupied for the following few days. I have always experienced owners a bit flexible (1-2hours) with the checkout times, especially when there are no guests coming the same day but not in this case. We got many messages reminding us constantly about the 11am checkout time over our stay there. Strict checkin and checkout times are something to keep in mind in case that matters when you book a place.
3) The house is very comfortable with a spacious living room and a cozy balcony.
4) The house is well equipped with utensils, cooking spices and basic beach gear.
5) The room is cozy with a very comfortable bed and TVs (with Netflix) both in living room and bedroom.
6) One point to note is that the place has an AC (very few properties in Hawaii seem to be having an AC). The AC is placed in the living room and not in the bedroom. The AC is powerful enough to cool the bedroom if you keep the bedroom door open. However another point to consider in case you are traveling in group and do not want to keep the door open for privacy reasons.
7) One minor thing - The bedroom closets were not properly cleaned (dirt on closet racks) and also the remote had some beach sand from previous guests maybe. This is not a big deal otherwise but given that the cleaning charges are high due to Covid cleaning guidelines, I expected better cleaning. However rest of the place was cleaned well and no issues there.
8) The place is walking distance away from a beach which seemed to be a good surf spot. Also there were a lot of surf schools nearby. Something to consider, in case you are interested in surfing.
Overall, I would say that David's place is a great stay to consider during your Hawaii trip.
