I go to Hawaii about 2-3 times per year and I usually stay at a hotel and this was one of the few times we stayed at a VRBO so I have a lot of comparisons.
I will say that overall it was a lovely stay. It wasn't the most luxurious; some of the cabinets and furniture was a little outdated. Also some of the pillows could use some replacing and the mattress on the sleeper sofa could use either a cover or a replacement. However, those are no biggies; the price was 1/3 of a hotel, so one can't complain. The value for what you get is much better than a hotel.
The other pros far outweigh the cons I listed above. I am so used to scrounging around at a hotel for a fork or even a spare cup; forget about a plate to eat your leftovers on. However this condo had literally anything you could ever need. I have 2 kids and it was heaven to have everything you need right there. Fully stocked kitchen with the basics and more (think blender, rice maker, etc.). And it was good quality kitchenware. All the beach gear--chairs, umbrellas were provided as well as extra soap and shampoo; welcome snacks with fresh fruit and water.
Other pros were the washing machine, the plethora of towels, air conditioning (although it was loud; I used ear plugs), the pool steps from the condo (amazing to NOT have to walk for 20 min to get to the pool only to realize you forgot something). By the way my pet peeve is dirty and/or cold pools but this pool was clean and super warm! There was also good parking, beaches and restaurants near by.
Check in was super easy and simple. Owner was not high maintenance with a ton of rules, the vibe was that he wanted you to enjoy your stay.
I rarely say that I would stay at the same place again since I like trying out new places but this condo was so convenient for a great trip that I would stay here again! Thank you for sharing your place with us!
