The location of this place was the biggest reason to stay there since it is right next to a beach with no more than 10 people on it at any time. The water is swimmable but you won’t be surfing there. The views are beautiful as well. It is far from hectic Honolulu and has enough places to eat it or buy food to cook close by. Unfortunately, there are negatives. Clearly disclosed was no air conditioning. I thought that would be fine but it really wasn’t given other facts. Unless the front and lanai doors are both open, there is no airflow through this place. Since there is no security screen door on the front door, you can’t leave it open while sleeping, so the bedroom is sweltering at night since there is no airflow even with the window open. Sleeping in the bedroom is challenging for that reason and even with the window open and because the bed is so soft you sink into it making you hotter. Also, the constant road noise when you leave the window open is disrupting when sleeping. The other big negative is the parking situation. Curiously, there is no dedicated parking space for the unit. There are common spaces marked BHL that you have to compete with others to get. It might not be so bad but a good percentage of those spaces are occupied with construction dumpsters, equipment, worker’s vehicles, etc. Now the construction: constant and never stops and at times in rooms right next to you. The unit itself was cute and ample for two but tight for 4. If there had not been an unadvertised mattress stashed behind the couch, we would not have been able to sleep four adults there. Other curious notes: you can not get to the unit without a security key fob but the host only supplied one for 4 people to use between us. After 2 requests we were given another which made it manageable for 4 people. We made the best of the time we were there but if we stayed on this property again, it would be in a unit with an air conditioner after the construction is done.
