The house was ideal for our needs. Large lanai to relax upon, and enjoy the incredible views of Mauna Kea.
The three bedrooms were very comfortable. The master bedroom showerhead could be changed out some time soon. Hopefully a shelf of some kind could be installed in there as well, since reaching for shampoo and soap on the ground can be a bit difficult.
The kitchen was spacious and well appointed, but some items could be changed out. Especially the frying pans. And the cabinets have an unpleasant smell. Not sure what's going on there.
This small stuff makes the overall enjoyment of the home just a minor disappointment.
My biggest grievance was the need to haul our trash 5 miles away. When people are on vacation in rental vehicles, the trash disposal can get rather disgusting. There are trash cans in the garage, but these can't be loaded into a car, so you'd still need to dispose of them bag by bag.
Getting someone to pickup the trash for your guests even once a week would make the all the difference in our overall travel experience.
I have hesitated in writing this review because the house is truly lovely and should these few details be addressed, then I would have no problem giving Iokua Place a 5 star rating.
