The house was the perfect size for me, my husband and our small child. It was very clean and even had a couple sample size items incase people needed them. There was plenty of storage which was great for unpacking and buying groceries. The house is close to Waikiki and has a parking spot, that alone makes it worth booking. I do wish I would have known that the owner lives a couple of feet away on property because that resulted in more interaction than we anticipated and were comfortable with. Shortly into our trip we received a message asking us to turn the porch light off. She was very nice about it and the porch light was accidentally left on, but this made us feel like we were being watched the rest of the trip. The shower had no hot water our entire stay. When I addressed this with the owner, she was very nice and wanted to contact a plumber. While we were working out the details to this, she noticed us using the washer and drier outside and asked if she could come in the house to assess the water. We agreed to let her in, but again this made us feel “watched”. While she was checking it out, slightly warm water did come out of the shower for a little while and then turned cold again. I told her that was the warmest the water had ever been, she kept turning the water on and off asking us to feel the water and the water would be relatively warm for a minute then turn cold. She asked if we would be willing to just turn the water off and on as we showered instead of her bringing in a plumber. In an attempt to end the awkwardness we agreed. The water remained cold the rest of the trip. We did not bring it up again in an attempt to limit our interaction. Luckily we had family on the island and we primarily took showers there. Having a washer and drier on site would have been an asset however the times we were “allowed” to use them were incredibly inconvenient to tourists. We used them rarely and ended up using the washer and drier at my family home more frequently. All in all a good house for the price with a very nice owner. My husband and I were just not anticipating that level of interaction.
