We stayed for 3 nights in late Oct 22 as a pre visit for my wife's convention on the south shore afterwards. Really nice place with attention to detail and really effortless check-in/check-out and communication.
Ok, now to more general comments:
Only downside is that the cleaning company (250$), Airbnb (around 16%) and the state of Hawaii (nearly 18%) are piling so many fees and taxes on the rental that the daily rate (already on the high side at 388$) balloons by another 60%. In the end, paying over 600$ a night for a 2 bedroom apt takes the fun out of the vacation. I just want to emphasize that this is not a particular problem with this rental, though I think the owner should do harder research or negotiate harder to keep the cleaning fee lower. This is getting out of hand. In my opinion, 2 bedroom apts should cost around 400$ a night all in, not 600$. Too many middle men taking a cut. Just for comparison, we paid for a 2 queen room at the Grand Hyatt 379$ all in and this is a really nice resort hotel with a huge pool area directly on the ocean. I dont like booking through Airbnb as well, but my wife rules, so here we are:) They increase their fee percentage (even though the rental prices already go up every year, so they benefit twice) and initially show the (lower) net rates and only tak on the fees in the end, so I always feel like I am getting screwed.
