Pros:
1. Micah the host is one of the best I have a encountered and I have rented at least 20+ vacation rentals. He communicates at a high level and responds quickly.
2. Location is excellent. You are in a residential area 15 mins from Waikiki and close to plenty of outdoor activities and shopping.
3. Great house for 2-3 families with plenty of space.
4. A very safe neighborhood for families.
Cons:
1. Although the house is large, the inside space is very dark without much natural light on the main floor. This normally would be fine if you could always use the outdoor space.
2. Noise. There is a dog next door that barks constantly if you are in the pool. There is also another neighbor next door that is basically running a bird sanctuary and there are hundreds of pigeons. Most of the day they do not bother you, but from 5p-7p is feeding time and you literally cannot be outside. This sadly made a beautiful backyard setting on the water difficult to enjoy. Some of the guests also had a hard time sleeping due to bird noise early in the morning.
3. The house could have been cleaner. The window sills/screens were dirty. The AC units worked fine, but were dirty. The pool also had lots of debris from the birds and the overall the property could have just been cleaner.
