Where can I begin to explain the disappointment we felt staying in this house. The property was not clean. In fact, the property was filthy. He advertises that due to Covid there is at a minimum 1 day between renters to allow for a thorough cleaning. Well, it is clear that the renters were just at the house and the cleaning crew was unable to properly clean the house. There was a mattress pad hanging over the balcony (i'm guessing they left if there to dry), there was a broken screen door leaning up against the patio wall, the sliding glass door to the patio was broken and took herculean effort to open. We just didn't bother with it! The kitchen was disgusting with droppings on plates that were in the cupboard, the counter tops were extremely dirty. It was missing basic necessities such as a toaster, pots, or even a wine opener. The half bath in the master bedroom (NOTE: There is no shower/tub in the Master, nor access to the one shower. It is blocked off and off limits) was unsanitary. We had to clean the bathroom and wash the sheets in the master bedroom ourselves. The house is run-down. Truly not worth the price. But, OF UPMOST importance is the presence of mold/musty odor in the house. My daughter and I experienced extreme breathing issues in the home. It would go away when we were out sightseeing but once we returned to the house our physical reaction to the mold/musty smell was immediate. As a result, we avoided being in the house as little time as possible. It made our stay on the Big Island miserable. I DO NOT recommend this property. Save your money, stay elsewhere! This is a classic example of "bait and switch".
