We arrived Sept 27, 2025, but left within an hour due to unbearable interior heat. The listing promised working AC, but the interior was 84F despite both small wall units running. I told the host we’d stay if she could get it to 74F or lower, but she said the units will not get that cool. I was open to the possibility, but as a building inspector with 30 years of experience, it was clear the wall units could never cool a large open house in 90F Hawaiian humidity, even if left on for days. The host later admitted the caretaker forgot to turn on the AC until about an hour before arrival. I showed her nearby window units that could fix the issue easily and offered to stay if cooling improved. The house matched the listing and was ideally located near great snorkeling, but it was uninhabitable on arrival. With it being late on a Saturday night, lodging options were scarce, and we spent half a day scrambling for a new place. While we were preparing to leave, the caretaker confronted my family, made unsolicited political remarks, cursed at my son, and filmed them—oddly, right after we’d been discussing frustrations indoors, making us suspect we were overheard. The host later confirmed the caretaker “said something inappropriate politically” and apologized. She refunded us in full, and VRBO reimbursed the difference for emergency lodging. If proper AC is added, the house could be great. Confirm cooling upgrades before booking.
