It is hard to describe the amount of subtle bullying and gas lighting that we experienced at this air bnb. By their nature, these qualities are hard to describe. My husband was born on the island and we visit as least once or twice a year for as long as I can remember. We love Oahu and specifically Haleiwa. This experience has tainted my fondness in a way that can’t be repaired. No Aloha spirit or empathy for my needs as a guest to be found. A simple text sent about being kept awake till 11 pm Hawaii time, 1 am or even later anywhere on the mainland for a traveler, turned into dismissive and abusive behavior. “Haven’t you seen my reviews, everyone loves us.” “Yes, we’re a family with children and make noise, so what? “It’s all over over our listing, didn’t you read it?” “It’s your responsibility as a traveler to do better research, this is your fault.” “You’re making us look bad to air bnb.” Just a sampling of the communication one might receive if you take up any small issue. The details are honestly too much to count. Just know it’s a noisy and bustling family kitchen against your headboard and children and dogs running about. And don’t hint at any dissatisfaction. We are a ‘leave a place better than we left it’ and a no trace of foot prints kind of travelers. We tried to kindly address the situation and they escalated to the point of entering our unit without notification or permission while we were gone through a pass through connected to their home. They didn’t even bother to shut the door all the way to hide it. Scared, we high tailed it out of there. I have a 5 star only policy for all reviews, Yelp and what not. But I felt a personal responsibility to anyone who might consider visiting this place. I fully expect a bending of truths, retaliatory reply from the owners as you can read from other similar reviews. There are many beautiful places to stay on the North Shore. I’d explore them. Aloha
