Great Home, Not So Great Neighbors
Nice home (wasn't very clean upon entry) in older residential neighborhood whose neighbors are not so neighborly. 1st guest 2 arrive was immediately warned by a neighbor about a "good neighbor policy" & said that her 2 little ones were about 2 go 2 sleep right where we are allowed 2 park, before "quiet hours" of 9 p.m.-8 a.m. When we arrived, our friend immediately told us 2 be quiet because of what she said. I locked the car manually, turned off dryer buzzer, & lots of other things 2 be a "good neighbor" throughout our 2-week stay! Worked through the night; and, by 4 a.m., there was a lot of foot traffic, loud talking, & vehicles up & down the street right in front home. Same neighbor has construction all day. Not a problem as most days we left by 7:30; but, on the days we worked from home, it was not pleasant! A neighbor even parked in front home where we are supposed to park!4th guest arrived while we were @ work. Lockbox wasn't working properly, she struggled 2 get in. Cop arrived & said someone called 2 say she was breaking in! She showed him the paperwork that proved she belonged; he helped her get in.I asked (& paid) for a late check out knowing we'd be home late from Hilo/Volcano. Came home around 1 a.m.; went to sleep @ 3; and by 7:30 a.m., on SUNDAY, neighbors were talking extremely loud right in front bedroom window/door! Wasted money for a late check out as we were ready 2 leave by 10 a.m.The "good neighbor" policy works one way with this location.
