Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property is pretty and convenient to a beach. The room and the property itself was clean. The share shelves were a nice touch. The facility is very primitive, meaning there is NO A/C, no staff onsite and no housekeeping. None of these things are bad if it's what you're expecting; however, this listing on Expedia does not mention any of these things, so it was a great disappointment to arrive and find out about the lack of AC and housekeeping. The phone number to call & text staff are posted all over, so someone could be reached if needed, I imagine. (We did not try.) I was also concerned about privacy, as our screened porch faced the entrance to the accommodations upstairs and there was no door between the room and screened porch and no window covering on the screens (which is understandable, as covering the screens would have made the rooms even hotter) I wish I could post a picture to the review to show what I'm referring to. Having such openness did allow us to listen to all the birds and the rain though.

Can't smoke/vape anywhere near property. Its required for guests to walk down a blind private road to the main coastal hwy by the beach 5-10 min walk. To even vape. No water pressure / or hot water unless you take off the shower head then everything works great. Quite time is 8-8 unless you're what seemed to be the managers friends talking load up on the balcony straight down into the lower room's.

No air conditioning should be prominent part of the listing. We stayed for only 1 night out of 4 reserved - due to the humidity and lack of air movement. Very steep climb to park and "bed and breakfast" meant you fix your own food. Advertised ocean view was very minimal. No staff on site.

Did not like the bldg for a disabled person. Stairs too hard to go down and too dark to drive uphill.Property was not described correctly until I have paid the rental fee. Did not use the property at all and was charged for 3 nights! I need refund of my money. I was disappointed as this is me and my husband’s first trip to Hawaii.
