First, the good points. Great view, great location, easy access getting into the unit, easy access to parking. The unit was well stocked with items you might need for your overnight trip. Watching the morning sunrise was beautiful and unique, especially compared to where we've been staying on the other side of the island. Nearby food trucks are convenient. The breeze coming off the ocean felt wonderful inside the condo.
The not so good points. The unit felt a bit grungy. The floor was incredibly dirty and gross - after walking barefoot for about a half hour, my feet were black and felt disgusting. The outdoor furniture has seen its last season and needs to be replaced. Rust on many metal surfaces. The bed was uncomfortable, felt old and cheap. Perhaps the worst is the fact that my husband and I woke the next morning with bug bites on our legs, arms, back. It would be easy to assume this happened during a hiking trip earlier in the day, but we made no stops along the road to Hana as my husband wasn't feeling well.
Overpriced based on size and condition of the room.
I understand that the proximity to the ocean adds a tremendous amount of wear and tear on things and requires significantly more cleaning, maintenance, and upkeep than other locations. And the island is extremely busy with tourists coming to Hawaii instead of other destinations right now (thanks, Covid). But, the place could use a couple days empty for a proper deep cleaning and updating.
