We were really looking forward to our two week stay here. The beds were comfortable and the view is nice.
But it was one of the most unwelcoming properties I have ever stayed at.
A day before departing for Hawaii my mother in law and her two young children decide to come to Hawaii and we tell them they can stay in our extra bedroom that has 2 beds. We made the mistake by not communicating this with the host and that was my fault Honestly didn't think it would be a big deal. There were cleaning issues with the condo and we notified the host.
After she came to the condo and realized there were extra guests she was extremely disgruntled and rude about the issue. She went as far as calling us deceptive multiple times even though we had an honest last minute guest change. It was uncomfortable and we were glad to pay the extra guest charge. She tried to charge us an extra $1800 even though we told her they were only staying for 4 days. Instead we paid the correct amount after explaining the situation. It was handled very rudely and unprofessionally.
The host had the neighbors taking photos of us.
We would not recommend anyone staying here that values privacy or is traveling with children.
