Unfortunately NO...I would NOT RECOMMEND staying here.
Have you ever visited an in-law who didn't like you? That feeling that anything you touched...or did while in the house...was always met with disapproval? That's what you (potentially) face here. She claims on her listing that... "don't have many rules here except we want you to enjoy your Hawaiian experience!". Not exactly true...let me explain...
When she lists the "quiet period of 11pm -7am" she means that is an absolute rule! If you need to get up early to make a morning snorkel trip (like I did), you get a nasty email SUGGESTING you find other lodging(Convenient for her, since her NO REFUNDS policy means she keeps your $$$!)
Here it is...
"Please familiarize yourself with the house rules if you don't mind the quiet hours between 11 and 7. When I inquired if you would be leaving before 7 I did not realize that you would be leaving before 6! I am certain that my other guests were awakened I know that I was. My listing specifically goes out of the way to state that if you are a late-nighter or leaving before quiet hours are over this is not a good fit here thank you for your understanding and please let me know if you will be checking out because your schedule cannot accommodate my house rules

I made every effort to get up and leave quietly. Her front door hinges are in DESPERATE need of an oiling, and makes a squeaky noise when opened. Not my fault! That is entirely on her!
Also...
*DON"T think about getting out of your room between those hours to use the bathroom or get a drink of water down the hall, because you'll probably upset her!
*Although it didn't happen while I was there, I can only imagine the scolding you'd get IF someone decided to call you between 11-7...(say because of the time difference on the East coast of the US...)
*Forget the very popular island nighttime star gazing experience tours because you will definitely face a disapproving attitude when you return late.(Regardless of what she says on the listing...)
*DO NOT book any excursion that will require you to be anywhere in the morning...
Basically...go to your room by 11(or earlier)...stay absolutely quiet...and DO NOT leave it till 7 am...
This isn't hospitality lodging. This is more like living under the rules of a stern headmistress in a boarding school!
Since I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of keeping my money while I found someplace else, I chose to finish my stay there. Feeling completely unwelcome, I stayed out of the house all day and made sure to tip-toe back in when I needed to sleep. It was an absolutely miserable experience!!
So...you are asking yourself "How does this square with all the positive reviews?". I believe there is another rental available at her location that has a separate entrance. For guests staying there, most of these issues would probably never come up.
