!PLEASE READ!!!DO NOT STAY HERE! This was me and my PREGNANT WIFE'S first trip to Hawaii, so the expectations along with money we spent where high. There were only a few pros, however THE CONS GREATLY OUTWEIGHED THEM:
Pros:
1. good location, right next to beach and not far from grocery store and restaurants.
Cons:
1. SHE INVITED 2 HOMELESS MEN OVER FOR OUR ENTIRE STAY! One man had a huge gash on the bottom of his leg which clearly needed medical attention. It was completely disgusting. He was also completely sun burnt on his face which looked horrible and also did not own a pair of shoes or socks. Remember, we are sharing living space with this man.. The other man could not stop coughing which sounded so terrible we avoided all common areas with him. One man would sleep on the living room couch and the other in the owners room with her (it's a 2 bedroom apt), and they would switch off every night. As stated above my wife is pregnant so obviously we're not going to sit on the only couch, use the only balcony or use the only kitchen they were using too. They needed serious medical attention. One of the men even tried talking to my wife while she was alone in the kitchen on the first morning. Why would there be 2 UNACCOUNTED for men in this apt? Let alone homeless men who were sick that could get my wife or our developing child sick?? Totally unacceptable and I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED AIRBNB about this.
2. We found 2 different cockroaches in our bathroom, we have pics.
3. Shower had no water pressure which makes getting sand off very difficult.
4. Besides having no privacy due to two random sick homeless men, the owner also gave is no privacy when eating breakfast our first morning on the balcony. All conversations with her were very uncomfortable.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. We had a great time on our trip after we learned how to avoid the two gross homeless men and all common areas. It is true that I contacted Airbnb about the men as well. 2 major issues here: there were 2 unaccounted for men in the small apt, and they both needed serious medical attention. The whole situation was completely ridiculous. We should honestly be refunded a portion of what we paid due to the fact she lied about the living situation and we were unable and/or refused to use the common areas of these sick men. Major health concerns.
