It rains a LOT in Honakaa! The town is old, cold, and musty. It is green-with mold, moss and mildew!! The green cottage reeked of mold so bad we had to leave fans running and windows open to stand being inside at all! The ceiling and most curtains were full of dangerous black mold. When we contacted the owner she acted like she didn't know! Other guests had just left when we first arrived, so this obviously wasn't something that "just" happened! This place is in NO condition to be rented out! The whole property needs serious maintenance. Moss and mildew cover all decks, rails and walkways and the vegetation is very overgrown. The "coy" pond is full of tadpoles-thousands of them! I suspect they are the invasive coqui frogs that are deafening all night. The photo showing the ocean view was taken from the blue cottage, NOT the green one. Green one has a view of the blue roof and tree tops! It is full of worn out old furnishings-except the mattress was OK, and the shower was good. Second bad experience with Airbnb's in Honakaa-Waipio valley is fantastic to see, but Waimea is close enough and much nicer!
