I wrote to Mark (the host) 1 week before our arrival to ask him to refund the deposit because I had noticed the rules he sent out after recieving our money were ridiculous and my wife and I had decided we didn't want to stay in a place with such a restrictive environment. Mark elected not to return the money, so in order to stay within budget my family and I were forced to stay at his house. According to Mark's rules a "guest" can only consume food or drink in his designated outdoor dinining area. When I arrived at his house my family and I were famished. The hosts outdoor dinning area was completely soaked and had about a centimeter of water covering 70 percent of the floor. The table and chairs were similarly covered in water. Security is tight. Not only did the host have a camera outside the main door to the house (understandable), he also keeps one trained on the bedroom door of the "guest", so you can be watched everytime you step out to use the shared bathroom or walk through the kitchen you are not allowed to use. My son needed milk, so I threw caution to the wind and snuck some into the refrigerator. Mark left us alone our entire stay. I stayed in 4 bnb's on my trip to Hawaii, this was only one I did not write a 5 star review for.
