I was going to write a glowing review about how this property comes with a nice view, and how they have a closet filled with goggles, beach chairs, and whatever you could possibly need for the beach, but then they fraudulently attempted to charge me $450 for a door handle on a microwave we never even touched while there (who makes food on a vacation!?). Now I’m just going to focus on the negative:
*They have no air conditioning, so it’s hot and muggy even at night with all the windows open and fans going.
*There are small lizards all over the inside of the house.
*Its was obvious they hadn’t swept or vacuumed the property before we checked in, as we had to rub off our feet before getting into bed every night.
*There isn’t a beach right outside the back door…unless you want to tumble down 50 or so odd feet onto the surf below the cliff the property sits on. The closest access down to the sea is a trail to the Queens Bath, which is about a 17 minute walk away.
*The WiFi didn’t work while we were there, and they wanted me to take time out of my vacation to troubleshoot the issue.
*The majority of the restaurants and sights are on the east or south side of the island…a good 35 minutes to and hour away at least. Two hours away from the canyons if you wish to see those.
*There is only one road going out to Princeville, so expect tons of traffic and extended travel times when traveling in and out to sightsee or eat.
Bottom line: You would be better off choosing a location closer to the airport area, and don’t trust Oceanfront Realty International.
