My husband and I were looking for a place very close to Koloa Landing Autograph Collection Marriott since 5 members of our family were staying there for the week. We were lucky Susan's place was available since it's just a short walk across the street.
PROS
We loved the digital code entry upon arriving. Very easy to get in and out and one less item to worry about carrying around. It was nice to have beach chairs available and the cooler with ice packs for the beach. Overall we didn't have to use AC except at night when the winds died down, muggy in the room. The space was the perfect crash pad and overall served what we needed it for.
CONS
Upon arriving we quickly realized this was a shared space. The AirBnB listing makes it seem like a private free standing villa, where in actuality it is a duplex. We stayed on the top unit with another family directly below us. We could hear them when they were home and didn't realize we would not be able to use the laundry machine after 8pm because of the quiet hours. Also the hanging chair is located directly in front of the bottom unit, the photo makes it seem like it is private for the top rental. We had trouble taking the hideaway bed down despite the detailed directions. Be sure to take all the pillows off the couch and put the legs of the table on it's sides. The pillows from the couch will be propped up against the walls if you decide to keep the bed down creating less room overall.
Like I said, we didn't spend a lot of time here as most of our time was spent in the resort across the street. The space was good as a crash pad at the end of the night and Susan was very friendly and keeps her rentals clean with useful amenities.
