One of the worst surprises going on a relaxing Hawaiian vacation is renting a villa with construction noise 7-5 daily!
The owner was definitely aware of this scheduled project, as there is an association, board and I spoke with the on-site manager. I rented this condo specifically because I have 2 teen kids and wanted to watch them in the pool. I paid extra for the 3 bedrooms when I really only needed 2 due to the view. Show up and the pool is completely being renovated. There is another pool on the property but I would have rented a lesser priced villa had I known that this pool was closed. Not only was this disappointing but the construction noise started at 7 am everyday. They were cutting the stones for the pool deck and it created so much dust and smoke that not only could we not rest during the morning or afternoon (with all the windows closed) but we couldn't use the balcony for eating or grilling.
When I contacted the owner about this (first day we arrived), he didn't even respond! Unbelievable!
The owners have a lot of demands: sign the waivers, initial this, clean the condo (even though we paid a cleaning fee): take out the trash, wash the towels, clean the dishes, clean the fridge out, a/c temp, squidgy the shower. I am sure if something was off from our end the security deposit would def be taken, but as a tenant when something isn't as advertised our hands are tied. Buyer Beware
Shame on this owner, they should be embarrassed! Driven by greed
Beside this I would also like to mention that this unit had tiny bugs all on the kitchen counters even the first day when we showed up, beach towels they provided were thin and stained. Carpet is old and stained. Beds are cheap memory foam.
Buyer beware - owners just out to pay the mortgage could care less about making sure you are accommodated properly
So many other beautiful condos for rent on the property,
I would suggest avoiding C-22
