We stayed at this property after Kona low storms caused widespread damage. Before our trip, there were significant safety concerns including flooding, road closures, power outages, and a boil water advisory, The governor was discouraging travel to the area.We reached out to Evelyn the host to see if it was safe to proceed. Her response indicated that our safety and the needs of the community were not a priority. Traveling into the area was unsettling. There were visible “Do Not Enter” and “No Tourists” signs, detours, and active cleanup efforts.The ocean was brown, with significant debris floating by. While the ocean conditions are outside of the homeowner’s control, the home’s premium price is clearly tied to its proximity to the ocean. Regarding the home, the sleeping arrangements were the strong point with comfortable beds, and plenty of linens and towels. The home shows signs of wear and inconsistent cleanliness. The kitchen drawers contained crumbs and many dishes were dirty. We found relaxing uncomfortable due to the futon style couch. The kitchen counter height is awkward making it uncomfortable to eat. The only way to eat together is to sit outside at the table under the surveillance of 3 cameras. The smoke detectors were missing, the front door lock was broken.If you choose to book this property, purchase travel insurance that allows cancellation for any reason. The significant number of exorbitant potential fines and fees should serve as a red flag to proceed.
