My large family enjoyed our month's stay at this house and appreciated all the unexpected amenities that we found. The covered upper and lower lanais, the beautiful pool, and large hot tub were a few of the things that added to our enjoyment. The extremely well stocked kitchen with a variety of dishes, utensils, and serving pieces were in addition to the large assortment of barware. John was most helpful and even added an upright freezer when the side by side one had problems and provided us with a battery charger when one of our cars had battery failure. We hope to return to this great home with the marvelous Kailua Beach just steps away! Mahalo nui loa, John, Edna and Lucy.

We rented Hale Nani Villa for the week of May 28th through June 4th. Our group was 11 with ages ranging from 10 to 98. We arrived Saturday at 4 pm. The condition of the house and pool were deplorable and the house in general was very run-down. Some, but not all, of the conditions we found:

Safety issues: The steps on the 2 ladders in the deep end of the swimming pool were broken and jagged.

There was a window falling out of its frame in the kitchen that could easily fall and shatter. If it were to break, the glass would shatter into the pool.

The smoke detectors had been removed from 3 bedrooms and others appeared non functioning.

There were wires sticking out of an outlet in the wall in one of the bedrooms.

The drain grates on the patio were warped and a tripping hazard.

Comfort issues: Air conditioning did not work. There were no cooling breezes and all bedrooms were unbearably hot.

There were no screens in some of the upstairs bedroom windows and 3 sliding doors. Also, with the windows/sliding doors open without screens, Hawaii's bugs had free access to the house.

The floor fans, the ceiling fans and windows/doors open were not sufficient to cool. The ceiling fan in one bedroom did not work.

The BBQ was rusted and would not light.

There was a hole in the ceiling in the kitchen of roughly 4” in diameter.

The screens in the upstairs main and master baths were pushed out, taped together and filthy.

Some utensils and dishes in the kitchen were dirty and had to be washed before use.

The furniture on the patio and upper deck was rusted with very dirty cushions.

The screen for a downstairs sliding door had been pulled from its frame.

The swimming pool was dirty. We were told that it would be cleaned on Tuesday, the 4th day of our visit.

Because of all of the above plus the general run down condition of the house, we stayed only the first night. We moved out on Sunday. It was nearly impossible to communicate with the owners. We called and emailed them on numerous occasions, both before and during the time of our rental. The owners made no effort to remedy any of the issues. The only response that I received, stated: “I disagree with your assertion that the house is uninhabitable when you have power, hot water, a working stove and a refrigerator “. The owner told us there would be no refund.

Also, it appears that this house is non-permitted, that is illegal, for rental. I have pictures to document all of the above issues.
