The view from the patio is beautiful, the bed is very comfortable, and the condo is clean; these aspects are five stars, and I would rent this property again if there were only two of us to stay in the master bedroom. There are a few issues that make this a four-star property for us. The first and most important is the air conditioning; there is only one portable air conditioner and it’s in the bedroom, so if people need to sleep in the living room area, they must sleep on the Murphy bed or pull-out couch with access to a ceiling fan only; those who say that it cools off at night must not mind being hot at night. Second, is the timer on the air conditioner; the a/c does work well in the bedroom, but it has a four-hour timer, so in the middle of the night we woke up hot and had to reset the timer and then try to go back to sleep. We understand the cost of energy is high in Hawaii, but limiting the renter’s comfort affects enjoyment and this is the main reason for the four-star rating. Again, this property has many great qualities, such as lots of amenities in the condo, being close to the airport, a street fair within walking distance, a nice swimming pool, friendly neighbors, easy parking, and responsive hosts.
