First, I would like to start by saying this house was beautiful. Located about 5 mins to the beach. This home provided beach mats, beach towels, snorkel gear, coolers, and more.
I will say the bedrooms all have an AC unit but this unit does not go under 73 degrees and the fan was so low you could only feel the cold when physically touching the unit, this made some nights uncomfortable.
The sunset deck was great to see the beautiful sunsets of Maui.
The reason I am giving this a low review is not due to the house itself but the host.
When paying taxes for our stay we were asked by the host to send this via Venm. Our group did not feel comfortable sending this quantity of money through Venm when all transactions should be through Airbnb. When we let the host know we did not feel comfortable with this, he responded extremely unprofessionally and told us we would have bad karma for this. We found this extremely odd and made us feel extremely uneasy. We called Airbnb and let them know the situation and they very clearly stated “do not ever send money outside of Airbnb”.
As a group of women traveling to an island we didn’t know what to expect nor did it feel good going into a situation where the home we are staying at belongs to someone who was so unprofessional.
He also kept contacting me with things that did not have to do with the Airbnb. It made me so uncomfortable how many times he kept contacting when I can look this information up myself. He even called my phone at night to try and talk to me which felt very uncomfortable considering how rude he was about the tax payment.
