Comfortable, Simple Stay with a Few Gaps
This VRBO was a nice, simple place for my 10-days in Honolulu with a gorgeous view. It had the basic necessities, but for a longer stay, it felt a bit bare-bones. I had to purchase things like salt and pepper, and there were no extras like spices, condiments, Tupperware, or lotion. Only four K-cups were provided for the entire stay, which felt limited. It’s clearly set up more for short visits or guests not planning to cook much. I was out and about most days, really only coming back to sleep—but even so, I still felt like a few more basic supplies would have made a difference. Laundry was a bit of a hassle—no clear instructions, and the laundry card (eventually found on the door) was only loaded with 3. A single wash was 2.75 and drying 2.25, but the app required a 10 minimum to reload. I ended up air drying my clothes to avoid the extra cost. On the plus side, the property was nice, parking was easy, and the pool was quiet. The provided beach gear was a great bonus and really appreciated! There were a few inconveniences like slow elevators (one was broken for a few days), a day with water shut off, and two days of pool closures for maintenance—not the host’s fault, just something to note. Overall, a nice stay—comfortable, clean, easy/walkable area and good communication—just could use a few small touches to feel a bit more homey.
