I had booked 2 Airbnb's in the same neighborhood because there was 7 of us, with my family flying out for a vacation. I intended to have my father and his wife stay in Frank's place. They cancelled last minute due the surge of cases from the Omicron Covid virus. I let Frank know they weren't coming and that I'd be bringing a friend to stay. Then I had a second friend who was able to join. Frank was very resistant in allowing me to add new people. I respect that he has the right to know who they are, and there was no in sharing their personal information, but he just seemed so put out that I made changes 2x in the process. In fact, he straight up texted me that I could not bring a 2nd guest. After some face to face discussion he settled into letting my 2 Maui resident friends stay there. He did make it very clear that no-one else could be coming and going from the space. On the morning of check out my friends had packed most of their belongings into the car, but came to the other house to discuss plans for the day. When they returned at about an our later, at 9am he was not pleased that they wanted to go inside and double check for any small items they may have missed. He said the place was already cleaned.
He generally had a an unwelcoming and discomforting energy.
I have lived on Maui and have been booking vacation rentals in Hana for nearly 20 years and have never experienced anything like this before.
On the bright side, it's a good & quiet location and everything is as it appears in the rental description. The only other issue is that the place had a moldy odor.
