This place has great potential, but a few things need to be addressed. First, it's great that it comes with an assigned parking space and the beachfront is awesome. Access was easy, once we figured out how to park. That took going up to the apartment to find the permit, which had the space number on it.The bathtub fixture needs to be replaced so that the cold water has a knob rather than a vice grip plier. The pliers were rusty, so the sooner the better. The ckeaners also need to make sure the areas behind the futons are clean as well as the futon crevices so that when you fold them down, it's all clean. The bed in the bedroom is creaky and could use tightening. The AC unit works well in the living area, but the bedroom is sticking and could use better fans as the AC really doesn't make it in there. The murphy bed isn't simple to use, but there are instructions. The other two beds are futons. Plenty of bedding for all beds. While it is listed as sleeping 8, it's certainly more comfortable for 4. It's a one bedroom apartment, really. We are a family of 5 and all kids want their own bed, which left no place to sit except metal stools. But, we also weren't there very much. The listing said it didn't have toiletries, so we were pleasantly surprised that they were there. That is SO nice when travelling.Hawaii is expensive, but we did feel that the price we paid was high for the space and the for the state of things. The host is responsive and great!

This was hands-down one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. We’ll be dreaming of this place until we can come back. Mahalo for such a memorable stay!

We enjoyed our short stay at this apartment. The beach outside the apartment was perfect for our young kids. Nice hikes nearby too.

The listing was very accurate (nice beachfront location, 1-bedroom condo, pool, etc) and we liked the decor. The host communication was mostly excellent. Unfortunately we ran into many issues during our stay. Luckily, most are relatively easy to address, and if they were addressed I would fully recommend others to stay here. - We arrived in the evening, ready to head to bed, only to discover we needed to wash the bedding. The clean sheets meant for the beds in the common spaces smelled like mildew, and the mattress covers were quite dirty. We washed the mattress cover of the Murphy bed, and it looked much cleaner after a wash. - The shower curtain had a lot of mold/mildew, needs to be replaced. - The shower is missing a knob and one uses vise grip pliers to change the water temp. - The bathroom doorknob was hollowed out / missing its lock cylinder (easy to replace). - The barn door to the bathroom was off the track and the metal door stop is not attached to the rail and instead just sits loosely on the rail; it fell off, luckily it did not hit one of us. - The parking lot is undergoing major construction and as a result this unit doesn't currently have onsite parking. You have to park in a remote lot about 1 block away, walking in the shoulder of the road. Not a huge deal but this was definitely an annoyance throughout our stay, as every time we would come or go we'd load or unload the kids at the building as I didn't want kids walking on the street with no sidewalk.
