The good:
- beautiful location
- safe neighbourhood
- spacious home, easily accommodated 8 people.
- beds are comfortable
- private
- easy check-in
- right on the ocean
- able to see whales and other sea life
- pool
- close to volcano national park and waterfalls
The bad:
- this home requires an extreme deep clean , we ended up having to clean many of the spaces ourselves.
- windows and doors require maintenance
( windows do not open all the way or close properly, screen doors do not lock properly)
- no A/C however there were lots of fans
- kitchen was not well equipped for our needs, we had to contact the host multiple times
- there is no kettle
- pool needs to be cleaned
- we found a few cockroaches during our stay (I am not sure if this is common in Hawaii or not but I think a deep clean of the kitchen would help)
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Khalil’s. I think this air bnb is perfect for a large group. With a good deep clean it would be a 5 star home!
