Overall, we had a nice stay at this property. It was perfectly located in the middle of Hana town and had gorgeous views of the ocean. We loved having coffee on the lanai every morning!
It was difficult finding a rental property to fit our size of group (8 people), so I was very pleased to have found this one.
Our host was extremely kind and communicative. The updates that have been made to the property are great, and we had everything we needed for our stay.
The only things that made our stay less than ideal were the bugs and geckos. We knew ahead of our trip to expect critters as this is a tropical location, and we appreciate the desire to use natural cleaning products and not poisons - but it did make it pretty hard to sleep at night (especially with little kids) after having to relocate several geckos and cockroaches from the bedrooms each night and waking up with ant bites from the bed. Once we found out which windows the critters were likely entering from, we were able to close them or plug the cracks, but without air conditioning that made the rooms very hot. I think this problem could be helped a bit by either adding some window AC units to the property to help cool things down without the need to leave all windows/doors open, or by sealing some of the windows/doors/screens a bit better to prevent critters from entering so freely.
Again, we were aware that critters happen, so it's not a huge deal - but it did freak us out a little more than we expected.
