The architecture and furnishings are very nice being authentic Hawaiian style. The unit does NOT have air conditioning. We were very surprised to find out it didn’t have AC. I texted the host and he said “we don’t advertise that it has AC” I said that you need to advertise that it DOESN’T have AC. In my opinion people from the mainland assume and expect to have AC. It was very warm during the day inside and fairly comfortable at night. We were very busy with outdoor activities so it was bare able. The house is very roomy and comfortable. There are some nice things to use such as beach chairs, boogie boards and ice chests. The bbq situation is a small portable Weber that you move to the front area of the unit. If you don’t mind not having AC it is a great place. If you want AC then you probably will be uncomfortable during the day inside. The garbage cans and recycle bins are not in a convenient location.
