Pros and Cons.
Pros:
Maurie was responsive. The place itself was located in a good spot. It was near the ocean. You can walk 2-3 blocks and you're at the ocean.
Cons:
The place is very outdated and not clean. The bathroom wall had open damages. The bathroom sink/cabinet needed touch up as paint was coming off. Under the kitchen sink it was very dirty. When using the microwave, you could see the amount of dust under the microwave.
This condo has very very little ocean view.
When you stand outside the balcony of the condo, it's behind other big hotels. Your main view is back of hotels and a pool. When you turn to your right you will see a very small part of the ocean.
When I woke up at 4am to use the bathroom, I killed to small roaches. I immediately wrote to Maurie. She stated roaches are very common anywhere in Hawaii. She made it sound like "oh roaches no big deal". She offer to treat the roach issue in which she did. She came and put roach treatment in the bathroom. To me roach is a huge issue because it can get into your luggage and belongings. When I got home, I threw all my clothing in the dryer for 1 hour. I will let my brand new suitcase sit in the garage for a few days.
In all honesty, I would not stay here again. Maurie is a nice person. But the place is not and it did not meet my expectations. I would not rent out a place like this, if this is my condo.
I should of stayed a hotel. I do try to support small businesses and help people with side businesses, but again I just would not stay here again.
