For value and location, this place for the most part merits its rating. You get a whole house in Princeville for less than the cost of many hotels. The owner was very responsive and professional. Everything works for the most part and you get a whole slew of beach gear and bikes to go along with it. There are some things to be aware of which may not matter to some, but could make the difference depending on your preferences. I see these largely as the trade-offs you make to get such a good price. These are largely a collection of small things. The house is serviceably clean, but you will find some issues here and there like a dirty grill, windows and blinds, the dead bug here and there by doorways (it is Hawaii and bugs will happen, but at least the cleaning crew should address any leftovers from the previous stay). The outdoor shower is in a dark and somewhat muddy side of the house, where we also found some broken pottery and glass and discovered the shower sprayed rusty water. The wicker patio chairs were covered in mold, the metal patio chairs were all showing some spots of rust and cracked paint with jagged edges, unfortunately along the arm rests, so we opted for the plastic chairs, all of which were workable but broken in one spot or another. It had been a very wet and humid summer, which likely contributed to the heavy deposit of dark algae on the patios. This was very slippery and had not been addressed by the cleaning crew, so we took it upon ourselves to scrub vigorously for nearly half an hour to remove it so that we could make use of the patio. Be advised that the upstairs bathroom has a shower head, but is mounted only about a foot above the floor of the tub and there is no shower curtain or glass, so taking a standing shower could be challenging. And while the owner has generously provided a portable A/C unit, only 1 of the small bedrooms downstairs could really benefit from it. Again, it is important to weigh these issues in the context of the value and location of the house. The sum of it all for us made it a disappointment, and we did not look forward to returning to the house at the end of a day of beach time. But given the size, price, and location, we opted to still give this a favorable rating.
