It was a beautiful house as pictured. The view was great! Overall the house was comfortable and clean. We were a bit nervous before coming there after seeing the few negative reviews. There were some truth to those reviews: there were mosquitoes ang bugs (then again, its Hawaii), no hair dryers in the bathrooms (but there were the hot iron curlers and straighteners), no shampoo and body soaps, we couldn't get the jacuzzi to work, and no lock (but i didn't feel like we needed a lock). I am a bit of a germophobe so i re-washed the sheets, pillow cases ect when we first arrived and the next day we found dead bug stains on them. I've lived/visited multiple tropical areas over years and concluded that bugs/mosquitoes/geckos are almost inevitable at these places unless you stay in some high floor in a high rise above the trees- so you'd have to have the right expectations. Since it was warm, we had to keep the windows open to sleep at night so we did get bitten by mosquitoes quite a lot- despite us using deet wipes all over our bodies, in addition to wearing those mosquitoes bands on each limb! The only way to minimize the bites was actually using those mosquito nets to cover your beds. Despite all that, we loved the place and would definitely love to stay here again when we come back to Oahu. The view of the sunrise from the balcony was magnificent!!!
