Barbara responded to our reservation request very quickly and we began a correspondence about so much more than the stay, like an old friend! She knew we were arriving late so instructed the cleaning person to leave the porch light on for us. Her condo was neat, clean, comfortable, and well situated near The Fairmont and Mauna Lani, a brief walk to the Foodland market. The condo seemed well stocked and supplied, and, although we spent three nights, unfortunately we were barely there to take advantage of the grill or enjoy the lanai. The ground floor lanai was very private. The master bath is huge and the bedroom is comfortable.
Barbara and I communicated several times and she was always super responsive to my questions.
My only critique would be that the A/C doesn't seem to go below 76, which was a bit warm, especially for sleeping. I'm sure as the Owner it's a tricky balance as you don't want out of control energy costs especially if guests leave it on. it would have been nice though to maybe be able to set it at 72 or 74. The only other thing would be to just include a note about the location of the unit itself. We didn't realize that the complex is divided by numbered groupings around a driveway and that we had to look for driveway 4 to find the unit. Because it was really late and dark when we arrived those numbers aren't so visible so we had no idea how to find the unit and drove around for a bit getting out to check unit numbers before we saw the driveway numbers and figured it out.
Those two things aside, we'd definitely recommend staying here. Barbara is a terrific host!
