First of all, the home is beautiful and has a great location. Our overall stay was going quite well until several unfortunate things happened with the host on the last day of our stay.
On our last day the host called us into a private meeting to accuse us of having events on their property that were not approved by them. To clarify we were in Maui for our wedding and had people over for dinner and a breakfast. To our understanding neither of these would be categorized as an "event." She then attempted to invoice us $1500 for such events outside of Airbnb. At this time she also said that she had seen a ceiling fan that looked like it had been damaged. The reason she had noticed this fan was on the previous day she had walked into the home without our consent while we were getting ready for the wedding. The host ultimately invoiced us through Airbnb, but on her invoice she presented pictures of our wedding website as evidence of the events. I understand that our website is in the public domain, but it felt very invasive to think she had been online searching for such things. The host then requested that we do a walk through with them prior to our departure to see if anything else had been damaged, however, an initial walk through had never taken place upon arrival. The host came over on our final day to inspect the damaged fan and then proceeded to pull it further out of the ceiling and take photos of it. At this point we were feeling very uncomfortable in the home.
Our privacy came into question at this point and several things started to make us feel uneasy. The host lives on the property with a direct view of the home. There are also no window coverings on any windows in the home, making it easy to see into any of the bedrooms and living room. Communication was a large problem as well, since we were unaware of any issue with guests until after the fact. In the end what could have been a very nice stay for our wedding ended up making us feel uneasy. I would not feel comfortable staying in this home again.
