This was my first time in Hawaii, I was looking for a place that really gave me the local feel. And Katlyn’s place definitely did! I stayed for about a week with my partner in katlyn’s tiny home.
All together it was a good stay, here are a few things to note.
We did think the place was located away from others based on the photos we saw. It is actually in their back yard, in a neighborhood.
I advise not checking in at night we struggled finding it but once we did we were good.
The place is small but cozy. I wouldn’t suggest more than two people here. The upstairs gets very hot & humid, there are no shades or blinds. The fan helps but we were usually waking up sweating. Yes there is AC downstairs, it is much cooler down there.
The kitchen had some things but could definitely used more pans to cook rather than just one, possibly a larger or newer hot plate too, it takes a long time for it to heat up. The fridge is very small so don’t expect to store too many goods, definitely wasted some food..
Katlyn told us the shower/bathroom is small and it is. If you are 5’10 or taller you won’t be comfortable. She also did warn us about the boards being slippery. I didn’t slip but they are not exactly built in line together, there are gaps and spaces between the floor boards and I stepped in between one and bend my nail backwards. Very painful so be careful 🙏🏼
I think our biggest thing was the roosters on their property. If you are looking to have a peaceful morning it won’t be here. The rooster perches himself on the tree directly next to your unit and begins hollering at 5:05am. We tried to ignore it but it was so bad I would go outside every morning and toss a coconut at him, sorry! But it was terrible and ruined our start to the days. Please do keep this mind! If you’re an early riser this won’t be an issue!
The place has its touches, and Katlyn is very sweet. I think it could use some work and possibly more accurate photos showing where it is from the street. Thanks Katlyn!
