We stayed 4/20-26 and enjoyed great weather and the fantastic setting and location. The property is a few minutes walk from Keiki Beach (it's not ON Keiki beach, as we were lead to believe by the description), and offers beautiful views of the ocean. We would love to return if the property was properly renovated and updated. It may have been a luxury residence in the early 1990's, but its prime is long past. The oven and grill work well. The area is quiet, and convenient to lots of shopping and dining.
As is it, the VRBO photos and description are deeply misleading. This is an entirely open-air building/home, so entry to the bedrooms is similar to a motel, which is not very secure or safe. Although there is a number keypad entry, the side yard has only a flimsy non-locking gate that anyone could stroll right into. At night the grounds get quite dark, and I was always uncomfortable and felt unsafe. The beach is a public beach with many access points right through the gated community. In short, this is not a safe or secure property. We ended up having our children sleep at the very top floor, which meant they had to traipse through the master bedroom at night to use the bathroom. The sliding door off the master does not lock.
The swimming pool water is murky and the liner of the pool seems to be detaching in some places.
We had to contact the maintenance people immediately upon our arrival as the freezer had been left ajar by the cleaning people, and the fridge and freezer were not working properly. When the maintenance people arrived, they admitted that the compressor on the unit is a known problem, and they have a new freezer/fridge on order.
All common surfaces (bannisters, cabinets, door handles) are sticky and have not been cleaned. All kitchen utensils are low-end and badly in need of replacing. The A/C units work, but do not adhere to the time settings claimed by posted signs or the maintenance people. We often woke to stifling temps and no air circulation.
Lastly, there is what appears to be a mosquito breeding program in the the entryway pool. It looks like it was previously a koi pond, but is now an oozing, green swamp. There are many new teak/dark wood doors in the living area, but signs told us not to open them. Even if they did open, I can't imagine anyone wanting to open the doors that lead to that algae and pond scum.
