Pros: onsite parking, location to airport, groceries, supplies, and major shoreline and beach access by car. House if rent whole property is spacious and our 2 families had privacy but able to have wonderful meals on the lanai with a fantastic view of the shoreline and public area next door of local fisherman and surfers in the wee mornings. Dinners on the outside huge grill fantastic in the evenings...though might need some lanterns later as flood lights are motion sensing.. The abandoned buildings next door did not pose an issue for us visually and did not see any signs of transients in this residential area. The sound of the surf is sleep inducing as are the breezes at night on the top floor and views from top and master bedrooms gorgeous in the morning to wake up to. Small beach a short distance away but for the spectacular views and turtles I recommend Baldwin State Park...not as crowded as Kaanapali or Kapalua and not as touristy. Baldwin is only a few minutes away by car and short ride to Paia (must see town) on way to Hana. Nice supplies for beach provided as well as outdoor furniture and huge grill. Kick ass laundry and drier. Bring your own dishwasher detergent (we left a bottle on the sink).
Cons: House cleanliness okay for an older home on a beach, but in bathrooms not what expected from a superhost (mold caking on old tubs was an issue in this beach house in the baths and showers and no bleach around to clean it up ourselves...sent photos to host and hopefully will clean it up for you) and had a repairman coming in on July 4th at 9 am doing repairs to stairs, door, air conditioner on first floor master...though we were out luckily for the day, he was there in late afternoon when we got back and air-condition repaired. Kitchen amenities are basic and suggested and hope they take our suggestions to get a coffee maker for upstairs and tea kettle and repair icemaker upstairs.
Overall: 4 stars
All in all if you are not looking for a pristine resort like experience but a quiet getaway place for your family to chill and explore, this is a great value and if a little TLC can be done to this little gem, we would stay again! Would have given 5 stars but this is a superhost listing so manage your expectations ahead of time and you will have a great time!
