Overall we had a good stay at the house. The house is a typical suburban house, and provides all the comforts that you would expect. However, we ran into a few major/minor issues during our 1 month stay:
1) kitchen insinkerator stopped working - issue was quickly addressed and fixed
2) the automatic garage door malfunctioned several times towards the end of our stay (was looked into but not fixed during our stay)
3) beware of noise levels from neighboring roosters (front and back) that are kept for cock fights - nothing can be done about this unfortunately
4) the house is badly ventilated and tends to get very hot during the day. The few fans in the house are almost useless. The house does have various AC units but we were told they are not hooked up and should not be used - something that should be changed in my opinion.
5) carpeting in the bedrooms smelled moldy / damp, for that reason we left the windows open and fans going the whole time - the bathrooms also smelled moldy - we informed the host
6) bugs/roaches: the house is infested with these little critters - they are everywhere, especially the kitchen cabinets, countertops, bathrooms etc - we told the host it's time get an exterminator
7) the listing states that there is a washer and dryer - when we received the house rules upon booking we noticed it says that a $2 charge per load should be paid, which given the climate and when travelling with kids could add quite a bit to the costs, and is something we have not come accross before when staying at AirBnB places. When I asked her about it she kindly waived the charges.
Overall, would I recommend staying at the house? That depends on what you are looking for - if you are coming to Hawaii on vacation then I would say no. There are nicer rentals in nicer locations available on this side of the island. If you are here for an extended period of time and need a home base then yes, provided all the issues are addressed and fixed.
