Unit was lovely ; kitchen well appointed & adequately fitted out. Bed comfortable. Enjoyed the pool area & proximity to ocean Alii Drive is extremely noisy Difficulty finding building 3 for us & 6 for our friends. Signage is not lit at night & is recessed from street. Individual unit #s are not adequately marked from parking lot. either. At another time, the Night site manager did not answer his phone for couple who had locked themselves out of condo above us. Then, They used our phone to call Vacasa ‘S 1 800 line who were able to provide entrance code .

We loved the kitchen with all utensils and needs for cooking. Linens were nice. Shampoo and soap was helpful. Check in and out was easy. Bed was a little small but mattress was good.

Pros: nice and spacious, kitchen and fridge available, shower amenities given, some beach equipment are available, ample parking, AC and 2 fans, nice size TV, nice Hawaiian gift basket upon arrival. Cons: AC unit louder than a sound machine, there are sugar ants around kitchen area- they don't bite but will get into your food if left on table, wish the kitchen was stocked with more cooking supplies.

8/10

There are some housekeeping issues that were discussed via text and they were very concerned and resposive. The property is in a great location and the amenities of the resort are wonderful. The store next door is handy for quick items. The kitchen has pretty much everything a person needs to cook most anything. I personally thin they could toss out the murphy bed and get a decent real bed, but thats my opinion. Vacassa is a good company to work with and i would have no problems doing so again. Thanks, Brian

Great and was exactly like the pictures. But have a lot of bugs in it and traps (at least they try to do something). The condo is not with the main building, so you have to walk and cross the street to go in the pool or do laundry. Room is smaller than the other side too. The price is a bit much for what you got and what you can have the other side. But still a nice place.

Initially, everything looked great. But once you tried to use things, you found out there were issue…several. Kitchen light control was intermittent at best (had to use circuit breaker to turn off lights), sliding door to balcony had worn out roller so door was extremely hard to move (was sliding on frame), room lamp broken, WiFi signal very intermittent, no cable TV signal (tech replaced splitter, but this didn’t fix the problem permanently, next day-no signals on most channels again), and no switch for bed lights (had to unplug).

6/10

Very nice esthetics of the unit. However, there is no designated parking which is quite frustrating for such a small parking lot. At one point in time when we arrived back to the unit, all of the stalls were taken and there was no place to park our rental. We contacted Turn Key only to find no help from them so we had to take matters into our own hands and park across the street. Also, they provided pans in their kitchen but their pans were filthy with burnt food residue still stuck to the bottom of all frying pans of which took us hours to scrub off before being able to use them...they should really invest in non-stick pans as they are easier to clean. It was also disappointing to not have a pot to cook rice in. We were able to locate the rice cooker but the pot that goes inside it was missing. ALL RENTALS IN HAWAII SHOULD HAVE RICE COOKERS ready and available for use. There were also a ton of little ants crawling all over the kitchen counters so we couldn’t leave anything on the counters. Also, they need thicker blankets. The blankets provided in the closet weren’t warm enough. They also need to buy several power strips so that guests will have a place to charge their electronics. I had to unplug things just to charge my phone and Apple Watch. And my sister also had 2 additional phones to charge but there weren’t enough outlets to accommodate. I got scoldings for unplugging the tablet the unit came with as the batteries were dying on the tablet, in got an email from Turn Key asking me to plug it back in. If they had enough outlets in the first place, it wouldn’t have been an issue. We were there for 3 nights and ran out of toilet paper on our last night stay and they didn’t have extra toilet paper to use so we had to use the paper towel. Last but not least, they had a lovely Keurig Machine but no K-cups to brew coffee with?? It would’ve been nice but it was kind of a teaser. Other than that, it was decent enough to get a good nights rest. The bed was comfortable and the Air Con was an absolute plus. TV has Netflix to sign in, WIFI available for only 4 devices 😐

The place is not bad for two people for a short trip and location is decent. Parking was a little confusing at first and the light switches are confusing also. The ceiling fan/main light doesn’t work. There were some cleaning issues: The tub had specks of dirt in it and ants, The bathroom counter/sink also had several ants. Notified Vacasa but since it was after hours they just said that someone would have to get back with me and when I asked when they said just sometime the next day. We wanted to shower that night so we just washed out the tub ourselves. The next morning we noticed the plates were also a little dirty we cleaned them before using, not sure if the rags were stained but they looked dirty. I messaged Vacasa again the next morning and said to not worry about sending someone to clean because we already did it ourselves but let them know about all the other issues I noticed but nothing else was ever said about the ants and the only response I got was sorry for the inconvenience.

I really liked the location of the property. Really close to the main area of Kailua without being right in all the busyness of Kailua. Property was well stocked with kitchen stuff and even some things for the beach like chairs and cooler.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we liked the stay for it's location and it's updates. If following things are taken care of, this would even be a great place to stay. Turnkey has great customer support and a mere text to reach them is great. I hope they will take care of the following and it will be a great place to stay in the future.If the AC were slightly better, I'd surely recommend this place to my friends. I did spend a number of sweaty nights despite the AC which took long time to cool down the space.Most of the stuff needed for a short stay are provided. I'd like enough soap shampoo to be placed for guests so that they don't have to buy their own. Having coffee filters and basic things like sugar would add to our comfort. Even though the property was on the main road, it was a hassle to find it. I had to park my vehicle at the main office of the resort which was closed and then ask a number of people till I found the security office who guided me to the building. Please fix a google maps pin and share that. Then I had to run around trying to get the parking permit. I had to stay on the premises till 10 o Clock to get the parking permit which isn't good. It would be a lot better if the floor near the bed headstand was cleaned. We say hair and dust lying around and we had to clean it ourselves as our phone and pillow kept falling there.Overall a decent stay. Would have been great if I didn't run into issues mentioned above.

10/10

I really only slept in this place and didn't do too much else. The internet worked decently well and other than a bed that's all that really mattered. Also having the cooler and beach chairs was very clutch but maybe the owner should add a beach towel or two.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very pleased with our stay. We worked half the time so the WiFi was very much appreciated. I have to say the campus itself is very low key, which we liked. We weren’t tripping over people at the pool or spa, and the access to the shore was peaceful with just a few others nearby. There were pool towels and beach chairs and even a cooler so there’s no need to bring extra supplies. The laundry in the main building was nearby the pool so we sat there while the washer did all the work. $2 to wash $1.25 to dry is about the cheapest machines I’ve seen here. And you could use an app on your phone to pay for them if you don’t have quarters ;) Coffeemaker, pots and pans and dishes. There’s even random things like a cheese grater and a roll of Reynolds wrap. This was a very thoughtfully planned studio. The chair even folds out into a bed if you need something firmer to sleep on (like me). And thanks for the early check in!

8/10

We had a great time overall! There were just few things that did not meet our expectations. When we arrived the garbage in the bin was not emptied so when we opened it to throw out trash the smell was disgusting! The screen on the shower window was very dirty and the coffee maker provided was broken. Other than that, everything was well prepared, the check in and out was super easy with the door code and all instructions were very clear and informative ,so we had a great time!
