We (2 adults) stayed in the studio for 6 nights.
Positives:
1) Mildrid was very responsive. She would reply to any question within minutes. She was also very thoughtful. We happened to have to checkout a day earlier than planned. She even reimbursed us a part of our last day’s rent - this was a very nice gesture.
2) owing to this condo being located on the west end of the island, we got excellent view of the sunset.
3) very fast WiFi - we got about 300 - 400 mbps.
4) comfortable bed
Negatives:
1) While the studio is old, the age of the appliance/furniture did not bother us. But we felt that the maintenance and cleanliness of the studio left something to be desired. Some (opened) groceries from previous tenants were left in the cupboard and they attracted roaches. A wet boogie board was stored in the closet area which was making the whole studio smell damp. And the loft had quite a few dusty boxes that just looked messy. Also, the sheets & duvet covers had some stains. We pinged Mildrid about these issues - she apologised and very thoughtfully offered to reimburse us the cost of new sheets. But we chose to use our beach towels on top of the sheets instead - which brings us to the second negative
2) location of the condo is quite impractical. There is a snack shop in the resort and one slightly bigger shop in Mauna Loa (10 minutes drive). But for pretty much any grocery/produce/food/takeout etc, one has to go to Kaunakakai (about 35 minutes drive). While there are a couple of nice beaches in the vicinity, that seems to be all that is available on the west end of the island.
3) the resort itself felt quite run down. Half the buildings seem to have been abandoned halfway through the construction. The lawn area is reasonably maintained, but there is a sizeable chunk of land between the lawn and the beach that is just ignored - it’s filled with fallen tree branches and bushes. This just makes the ambience feel dilapidated.
Overall, our experience was a mixed bag.
