We stayed here for a week.
Pros:
1. There’s an air conditioner in every room, which was a must for us. They work great!
2. There were a lot of extra towels & a lot of beach gear that we used.
3. The owner is very attentive. One of the air conditioners wasn’t working and he had someone fix it the very next day. 5 out of 5 for attentiveness & acts quickly. We ordered a baby crib & he took the initiative to call the company and gave them the instructions to enter the community/airbnb so it was set up by the time we arrived.
4. The community area is absolutely beautiful! The ocean is so close. Not a beach to go in but it’s nice to see & put your feet in. There’s a couple of pools & one is right by the ocean so it’s a beautiful place to relax & watch the sunset. There’s a common area where there are board games and tables to relax & have some fun if you’re into that too.
5. Kitchen appliances were great. They had a waffle maker, panini press, lots of pots & pans.
6. Loved the chickens and roosters that roam the area.
The cons:
1. There were a few roaches. Kind of a bummer for a vaca spot especially for the price.
2. Hawaii hotel taxes are not included in the airbnb price. There’s also a resort fee which is $10/night & a refundable security deposit. He’s transparent about it in the house rules. It said the taxes are due at booking so I assumed it was included in the airbnb price, come to find out, it’s not. Hawaii hotel taxes are 17.42% which adds up quickly. That has to be sent to the owner separate from the airbnb price.
Can be good or bad:
1. They have quiet hours that they’re really strict about so if you like to stay up and play loud music this isn’t the place for you. It was nice for us because we had an infant so we didn’t have a problem with that rule.
