After reading some of the negative reviews, I walked into this AirBnB expecting issues. And those fears were confirmed with the wifi not working upon arrival. HOWEVER, when we reached out to the service they got back to us right away, came out to the house and resolved the issue within 12 hours. In the end, this place was fantastic and we would come back.
The views from the unit are amazing and there was everything you would need to cook for a couple (a few plates, coffee cups, knives, pots and pans, etc.). There are also large fans in the closet which are nice since this place does not have AC--don't let this scare you away, the windy location makes for an incredibly pleasant temperature. Finally, they supply several beach towels, a beach chair, a cooler, and an umbrella which were very handy.
Overall, I think this is a great AirBnB and appears to have responded to all the negative comments in the prior reviews. It is certainly the best value stay we've had on the island in our two week stay moving around the island.
About the area:
- good grocery store a 5 minute drive away
- the private beach is filled with reef and is too shallow to swim or snorkel. But good to relax on
- it is a very nice walk along the golf course to the Hanalei Bay Resort for a drink at the bar at sunset.
