Nice place, but be sure to double-check with them about construction! Otherwise, you won't be refunded even if you weren't warned of it.
First off, this trip to Hawaii was important to me. This year, I was diagnosed with a serious medical illness and am recovering from major surgery. This was my first trip to finally relax and recover, a gift from my husband to celebrate my 40th birthday and a successful surgery that removed a very dangerous tumor. Accordingly, peace and quiet were of top priority to me and I specifically selected this unit to enjoy downtime inside with an ocean view.

Unexpectedly, however, I was woken first thing by jackhammering so loud that I simply could not stay in the unit (literal jack hammering). This continued the entire day. This noise was not "general construction" noise, or merely annoying, it was interruptive for any normal person, much less a guest visiting a location. I videotaped (https://vimeo.com/381072039) the ear-splitting sounds from both the bedroom and kitchen/living areas as well so that the owner could understand that the apartment was not habitable in this condition.

When I called the resort front desk about the noise, I was told that the owner should have been aware of this construction and that the construction would be happening until December 31st! None of this construction or potential noise impact was mentioned in the AirBnB listing. Other units may have been affected, so I would have chosen not to stay on the property.
I messaged the host through the Airbnb app two times about the construction. I then did my best to wait it out hoping for a quick reply to get on with my day. As the noise was absolutely intolerable, I had to relocate to the outside of the unit. I had to cancel a scheduled important work call while walking around on the property and could not return to the unit. Even though I had purchased at considerable expense foods for my specialized medical diet, I could not even enter the unit to eat nor even charge my phone as the sound was ear-splitting. The host called me and left a voicemail message stating, “I want to review options with you about possibly moving you to another condo. Please call me back.” Due to not being able to stay in the unit to charge my phone and worried about completely losing charge, I had my husband call her back. He spoke with her two times at which point she stated she would look into other arrangements.
As the day wore on (I had initially texted Bano at around 9:30am) with me waiting outside, I grew more and more concerned about finding alternative lodging. I contacted my husband to try and track down a place for me for my remaining nights. As a single woman traveling alone with compromised health, I needed this solved ASAP—more stress on my body would create yet another challenge to my health as well. By 4:30pm and not hearing back about any definite securement of lodging, I decided I absolutely had to move as it would soon be dark and I could not endure another day like this. Once the construction subsided, I returned to the unit and worked considerably in cleaning, repacking, and hauling things down from the 3rd flood. Sadly, I even had to dump all the food I had just purchased for my specialized medical diet ($100+) and arrange and paid for transportation to the hotel my husband finally found. Throughout the entire day, I lost not only my ability to use the unit in any way but also my ability to get to do any work—not to mention the rest and recovery I had paid and flown all this way for.

I never received another message (text via the Airbnb app or voicemail) from the host that day to or any day the rest of my stay until the afternoon when I was at the airport about to fly home. My husband shared the voice message Bano had left for him later in evening (after I had already moved to the hotel). In that message, she did not mention she had arranged for alternate accommodations, she only mentioned: "we'll work something out". There were no other communications, and no message via the AirBnB message app, which is designed specifically for this purpose. There was no way for me to know the status, and the front office had confirmed construction would resume first thing in the morning, so at that point it was late in the evening so I had to make a decision regarding where to stay.

I had to pay considerable extra charges for my hotel for booking last minute as well as the daily resort charges and the realization that I would now also be forced to eat out every meal despite needing to be on a specific medically indicated diet. This was all because the unit I reserved and paid for from this host was not inhabitable nor as offered.
Incredibly, it was not until I was departing for home that the host finally contacted me, this time claiming she had “made arrangements with her housekeeping service to get another waterfront condo in another complex, ready for you to transfer to” but was unable to reach me. I have zero missed calls or texts (in the Airbnb app or otherwise) from her except for the one voicemail I referenced above. If she was trying to reach me, why didn’t she message me through the Airbnb app to notify me of this condo on the day of my complaint about the construction, but then did so on the day of my departure? I was shocked to hear her claim as neither my husband nor I had any messages from her on our phones that indicated that she had located another unit for me. As stated earlier, my husband has only two voicemails from her, both were vague and brief and did
