We've been renting condo's here at Kuilima Estates for 18 years and have stayed in quite a few over the years. That being said, here is our pro and cons on this particular condo.
CON:
*Hide a Bed is dangerous. Some of the bolts and springs are missing, making it difficult to pull out and put away. Mattress was very uncomfortable and worried our kids would get hurt.
*Blinds in the living room need to be replaced. They are rusting, curl up and do not block any light especially when security drives by at night and shines their lights on the buildings.
*Lanai is crowed and sit's directly into the afternoon/evening sun and has no shade.
*There is a hole in the floor covered by the wood flooring by the slider.
*Microwave is too small and is rusting.
*Stove top is going out. 3 out of the 4 kept burners are going out and the other one kept sparking.
*Ice maker freezes over and needs to be scraped off every day or it will not produce ice.
*Could use some bigger bowls with lids for fruit etc.
*There is rotting throughout the condo that has been masked by paint.
*Master bathroom is really small. There isn't enough room to shave in the shower and there isn't any counter space to put your stuff on, it's just a pedestal sink.
*The only place to hang long dresses is in a cleaning closet, the master bedroom has an armoire in the closet that take's up the entire space, leaving little to no room to hang anything except a few shirts.
*Drawers for clothes are very limited.
*Pillows were old and cheap, no support or fluff to them.
PROS:
*Master bedroom bed was comfortable (Except pillows)
*From what I can tell, the kitchen has been updated in the past few years. Nice decor and bright.
*Had 2 beach chairs, which was a plus, even though one is falling apart. They even had 2 boogie boards for kids as well.
*Quiet location, at least when we were there.
*On the golf course and close to Lei Lei's.
Final thoughts.
*If it's 2 of you and only going to be there 2-3 days, you can probably overlook these things and have a great time. We usually go for 2 weeks every year, this trip was 16 days. We are a family of 4 and it was just too much to overlook and be comfortable. Over the years, security often lets friends and family in the pools, especially on weekends, to have family BBQ's and different gatherings, this hasn't changed. This is in no way the fault of condo ownership, it's been going on for years. Recommendation is to avoid the pools on the weekends.
