Puu Poa 405

Location

No curtains or AC. Windows had to be open and birds and chicken started singing at 5:45am. The pull out sofa bed was not comfortable.

Love the location!!

The grill was rusted and we couldn't use it! We had hoped to grill so this was disappointing.

The location was perfect, and the space was very clean. We have stayed in this complex before, and the view is heaven on earth. All the beds were extremely comfortable, even the pullout couch. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of spices and oils, and had plenty of dishes for cooking. Being on the top floor provided us with gorgeous views of the water and sunsets, even whales! We loved having a telescope to watch them breaching in the distance. We could hike down to Hideaways beach as well as walk down the street to The One Hotel, and use their beach. The owners did a great job with this place, but it was management that dropped the ball a bit.

I have never had to buy my own papertowels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and soap before. We have stayed all over the world, and this was a first. The lockbox never worked, but luckily the door was unlocked when we got there, so we were able to get in. They also didn't have hand soap when we first arrived, but brought some the next day when I asked for it. I realize they were in the midst of a remodel, but having extra paper goods should still be a must have. There was also no power at the wall by the TV, so someone had to bring an extension cord in order for us to use the outlets.

Views are amazing. Sunsets. Sunrise. In awwww! And the condo has tons of living area. Perfect for a big family. Kitchen is large. Bedrooms are big and spacious. Lots of closets.

Seemed a little dated. But then again, so am I! 🤣 One of the patio sun chairs was broken. I reported it the first day, and was told that it was “under warranty” and that it would be replaced soon. Not sure when that “soon” is. We were there 7 days, and no one came by to replace it or pick it up. Also, I wish the place had a portable flip phone (for some nice Hawaian music. Always fun to Bluetooth into a portable speaker to play some nice music. The speaker they had near the screen door was circa 1985, and did not have blue tooth. One of those break dancing radio speakers that were used in the break dancing movies! 🤣 Also, the kitchen was beautiful, but there was a white elephant in the kitchen. A big, ugly refrigerator that was next to the regular (beautiful) refrig. We asked that they remove it because it was in the way and it was an eye sore, but they stated that the owner uses it to store all his/her extra wine bottles and drinks. It literally was about 4’ in height, 3’ wide , and just hideous. One last thing, hopefully the jets in the master tub are working for future tenants. Annoying that we were looking forward to a bubble bath with the jets, and they never worked. We were told that the plumber would arrive AFTER we departed. I know we reported it halfway thru our 7 day stay. So kind of late, which I realize. Hope they do fix it for the next future tenant. Otherwise, don’t advertise the jacuzzi jet tub in the master in the description.
