First time to Hawaii with my husband and small kids, 8 and 5. Property was nice but only has bare minimum. It was clean, but somewhat dated. There were pots, pans, cups silverware. A tiny stove and oven, which met our needs, a microwave and coffee pot. There were four clean towels, and washcloths, boogy boards and beach chairs on the balcony. There was also a broom and dustpan. Laundry is not in the unit, I was told it was downstairs for use.
I was slightly disappointed at the lack of consumable supplies such as bathroom soap and garbage bags. There was a tiny thing of dish soap with a sponge that looked like it was cut in quarters. The beds were also only fulls or double size, so difficult to sleep two adults. Pool for the facility was heated, which the kids liked, so they got to swim after dark.
Location was not bad. You were a seven to ten minute walk to any of the main attractions and beaches. I walked to Target, which was a mile away, to get essentials and breakfast items and Ubered back. It’s right on the canal which made for a pretty view. We walked to the canal in the morning to see sunrise.
This was my first time using VRBO, so I was a little surprised on the fees that were added on. Even though nightly fees made this place seem like a more affordable option, the fees at the end doubled the price. For an extra $100 I could have booked a Hilton or Marriott with daily room service. Biggest positive here was the full kitchen to save on meals.
