I think the location, unit, building are great for the price. Decor is cute/on theme. Cannot be beat whatsoever.
HOWEVER, there are a few things I wish I knew ahead of time & that the description was more clear.
1) I messaged through VRBO multiple times before the trip to confirm the trip was still happening. Got no response whatsoever.
2) If you look at satellite maps for this location, you'll see that there are huge sand bags on the beach because of erosion. Just kind of a bummer. Not the building's fault or anything but you're not going to get a glorious beach here like a napili or ka'anapali, but I guess the price reflects that. There's a small beach and it's very quiet, which is nice.
3) The unit didn't really have doors inside? The loft room had a sliding rattan screen on one side and a sliding door with slits on the other. The "master" bedroom had a sliding door with slits (louvered) and all the bathrooms had similar doors, so there was very little privacy. Smells & sounds can get through too easily.
4) Parking can be very tight in the basement, so choose your rental car wisely! Every parking incident was an exercise in precision. We had a large SUV and we had to be very careful.
5) If a neighbor below is smoking on their lanai, the smell wafts up into your rooms. This is tricky when the whole point is to get an ocean breeze and there's no AC.
6) Not many bowls. Everything else was stocked very well in the kitchen.
7) Wifi didn't work in the master bedroom, was too far
On the plus side...
1) The unit had 2 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas and a cooler. Very handy!
2) Elevators are slow but never felt that busy. Stairs are also just right there.
3) Sunsets/sunrises were amazing!
