We booked this Airbnb last minute (we were supposed to stay on the north shore of Kauai, but couldn’t due to the flooding). I typically don’t write negative reviews, but my husband and I didn’t feel this Airbnb met our expectations and were excited to leave.
Pros:
-great location, several great beaches/restaurants were a quick drive away
-beautiful view from the deck
-the hosts generally seemed helpful during check in
-had several amenities (i.e. shampoo, soap, beach gear, etc). However, there was only one full set of snorkel gear so we had to rent a second set of flippers
Cons:
-the home was overall very dirty. There were bugs EVERYWHERE, both dead and alive. We stayed in an Airbnb for the other half of our stay in the rainforest that had zero bugs because of the owners diligent efforts to keep pests out in a natural way (cedar oil). We also found gecko poop everywhere (including our bed when we woke up)
-the property itself was unkept. The whole yard was full of tall weeds and random trash/old furniture (probably contributed to the bug issue)
-bed was very uncomfortable. It seemed very old and extremely hard.
In all fairness, we didn’t mention anything to the hosts, but figured there wasn’t much that could be done. It was clear the house was dated and wasn’t well maintained in general. I’d look elsewhere if you’re wanting a relaxing/luxurious stay in Maui.
