Geoff was very kind in replying back to my messages and concerns about his place right away. We loved the location as it offered a private beach right near by in walking distance. He also had many beach toys that my toddler enjoyed daily. There were enough towels and beach towels provided, which were really great since we went to the beach daily!
Unfortunately, we did have some issues while staying at his place, which we contacted Geoff about right away. He offered To resolve the issue right away. However, we had to decline having a young toddler and we didn’t want any chemical near him or on our things. It’s understandable as Hawaii is humid and cockroaches are probably common. However, it made us a bit unease knowing that we could come across one at night, etc. We also had some ant issues during rainy days (make sure to leave all your food in the fridge and I mean EVERYTHING). The main fan in the living room was having an issue too which Geoff fixed it himself on our fifth day. That fan helped a lot. That being said, if you are not used to the humid weather, please look for a place with an AC. For the first couple of nights, we couldn’t sleep well cause it was very hot. The ceiling fans help a bit but definitely the rooms get hot and stuffy in the afternoons. Lastly, it took us awhile to figure out how to open the front door. We followed the instruction but the door didn’t budge. We realized that you need to pull out the door (I guess the door needs to align well with the lock?), before putting in the codes and unlocking it.
Overall, his place is very cute and well decorated. I believe those issues that we’ve experienced are fixable (and some have been fixed). Geoff replied quickly to our concerns. And as long as you’re okay with not having an AC, his place is perfect as it offers many wonderful beaches and places to visit nearby.
