Hawaiian Surfer Haven| Family Stay Near Slopes

We were a little surprised there is no enclosed backyard so our dogs were on a leash. The yard was also full of other dogs feces. The yard/garden advertised was non existence with overgrown weeds. I mentioned this to the property manager, and let them know the feces was old and we picked up our dogs, they asked if I would pick up the rest for a small refund. No thanks! When we walked into the home, it had a very bad smell in home and it wasn’t very clean. We ended up checking out a day earlier due to in the master bed there started to show evidence of unknown substance. There was also a tenant that lived in the apartment basement. This individual was smoking something while we were there and could smell it in the other areas of the home. Very disappointed.

We only stayed one night at the property. As soon as we entered, we found complimentary chocolates on a desk, gnawed by mice. Going down to the basement, we found a black widow and another type of black spider—both were horrible. We immediately contacted the host, who apologized, but it wasn't helpful. We couldn't find another property that night, so we spent it awake and terrified. Later that night, one of the mice was on the kitchen counter. It was very frustrating and tiring. The host could have handled it better, but he didn't. The next morning, we left the property, but I didn't get a full refund, which I thought was extremely unfair. However, VRBO did compensate me; they gave me a very good amount for the terrible experience.We understand it's October, and that the house is very close to the mountains, but we're also aware that with proper fumigation and animal control, this wouldn't happen. I don't recommend this property at all; it looks beautiful, but for the rest of our vacation, we were traumatized by the thought of another animal appearing. Thankfully, the new property was an oasis.

Good comfortable space for a large gathering.

Great spot… deer and roses in the back yard was awesome

Lovely home in a great location. Plenty of room for our family with adult kids. Hosts have open lines of communication. House is well appointed with most necessary toiletries. Roku TV in living room and in master bedroom. Fluffy towels, wash cloths, cosmetics rags. Washer and dryer in the basement. Easy check in and check out. House shows some wear, but I would definitely book again.
