Worst rental in Hawaii. First off this place was not clean, let alone enhanced clean. And this is a serious issue during Covid-19. Bed linen smelled dirty. Pillows smelled. It was hard to sleep from that smell. On the top of the smell we itched the whole night. Bed bugs came to mind. That scared us to death. Shower curtain was moldy and dirty. Bathroom soap was almost empty and no refill available. Towels were very old. Kitchen sponge was very old and it shouldn’t be used to wash dishes. No other sponge provided. Kitchen cabinets were dirty, especially the section that holds the trash can, doors were visibly soiled. Coffee and tea are months old. Windows don't close fully and one window is broken and at danger at falling.
Listing leads you to believe that there is a picnic table adjacent to the cottage and washer/dryer in the unit. This is not true. Both of these are part of the owners house. There is no private outdoor seating area. It was bizarre to be in the middle of nature and no where to sit outdoors privately. The whole time you are at the cottage you are stuck indoors. Who goes to Hawaii to stay indoors.
And then there is the road that leads to the cottage. It’s a dangerous road in the night if you are not familiar with all the blind turns, one lanes, and sharp curves. It is a 10 miles per hour kind of road. And it’s long. Because we had to drive so slow to be safe, it took us about half an hour to get there. We didn’t feel safe to leave the cottage past sunset. We didn’t count on vacation where we will be stuck indoors. We originally booked for three nights but cut our stay after one really terrible night.
This property is rented and managed by a rental company and they have been very unhelpful with all these major issues we had. We lost money, time, and had a tremendous stress added to our vacation.
