Location is phenomenal. We saw whales and turtles every day with our morning coffee. The owner communicates well. Overall we are pretty happy.
Pros:
Location - Central to just about anywhere you would want to go. Short walk to boat harbor.
View - Ocean, volcano, turtles, whales, New Years Fireworks!
Cons:
Care - Stairs dirty, toilet paper roll center pin missing, 2 burnt out lights, junk in drawers, master closet full of stuff, one hair dryer didn’t work, knives dull, second floor smoke detector bad, one couch chair is in rough shape.
Space Layout - The pictures are accurate but I didn’t realize none of the bedrooms are private. The master bedroom is open to the loft bedroom above. The other loft bedroom is open to the living room. The kids slept right above the master bedroom so if we went to bed later we had to use phone flashlights to get ready for bed.
Kitchen - There are no pots, only pans. Other than this everything you need was there. Storage space was the biggest issue. All the cabinets are full. There is absolutely no place to put all your groceries. We had to put groceries under the couch and on random book shelves.
Property Rules - This is nothing the owner could control but some of the overall property rules were lame. No noise at the pool. Limited hours at pool. Could not sit in chairs by ocean after 9pm.
Overall, not a bad place for a family of 3 plus kids. Location is the best there is.
