My husband and I stayed at this location from 5/20/16 - 5/27/16. When we arrived, we did not realize all the houses on this street have the same address and are only differentiated by one letter. We found this out the hard way as we walked up to the neighbors house and assumed we both overbooked. Luckily, I noticed a letter D on their garbage can when our paperwork stated letter F in small print.

Upon arrival, there were no labels on the units to identify which one to enter. I only knew what door to go to by the pictures I saw when booking online. We had a hard time with the lock on the door because it was so worn out. I suggest the owner replace it, because if you have a renter who is not handy (like my husband) you could easily spend 10 minutes trying to lock the door every time you leave. By the end of our stay we were pros.

We did not have the opportunity to meet the landlord, but the location was awesome. Unfortunately, there was some construction during our stay so traffic was bad at times.

PROS:
A lot less touristy on this side of the island compared to Honolulu. Hardly anyone on your beach so you have all the space in the world to enjoy yourself. We were lucky enough to experience a wedding at the neighbors house and watched from our backyard. The views are beautiful and although there was no air conditioning, the fans and open windows kept it aerie. Appliances and utilities worked with no issues.

CONS:
The unit was not very clean upon arrival. I had to sweep as soon as I walked in because the floor was so dirty. At this time, I noticed there were ants everywhere and some type of bug poop on the walls. I had to invest in 4 ant traps and 1 full can of spray to fight off a ton of ants in the house. You could not leave any type of food out, even if it was in packaging, the ants would cover it. I put all of our groceries in the paper bags that were supplied from the store which did the trick. After using dishes, you have to wash them as soon as you are done and put them away to keep the ants off. My husband hated the pans supplied as all the food stuck to the bottom. Even with a ton of butter and oil, food was difficult to cook in the 2 small pans supplied. I also had the pleasure of killing 4 cockroaches (1 big/3 small) during our stay. I was informed this was an issue in HI so I guess you shouldn't be surprised.

Other than that, I would recommend this place to someone looking for a low-key area that is affordable. If we do visit again, I would look into a nicer place just for cleanliness.
