Wanted to leave a review for other guests looking to book. We loved the location, the residence worked well for our group. We did feel we were misled a bit. I'll put some key points below which might have swayed whether we would have booked in the first place.
1) 15% tax they collected later, prior to arrival. Instead of putting the fee or tax in the initial booking cost, they come back later to get it and use the excuse that it's not their fee, it's Hawaii's fee or tax. They will also use the excuse that the fee is stated in the agreement, but it seemed more hidden within the agreement.
2) Overall accuracy of listing. The marketing listing hasn't been updated in the last two years. We come to find a number of the "amenities" we have access too, we actually don't have access to, we just felt misled.
3) cleanliness. Overall I would say the house was clean. Some crumbs on the dining chairs, maybe not quite as thorough as we would have hoped, but not bad. One of the bathrooms didn't have toilet paper either. You pay a certain price for things and have a certain expectation because of that.
4) Things we found after arrival. We had one dish towel in the drawer for two families for a week. As I mentioned above, a bathroom didn't have toilet paper. We were told upon arrival that this specific unit had a "quiet" time for the outside patio after 9pm, they said you weren't supposed to be outside after that time. That was news to us.
Overall the trip was fun and the residence was nice. We just felt misled by the advertisement and didn't have total satisfaction with the unit.
