Kailua-Kona House with Oceanfront Deck and View

Traveller Type: young couple
  : Location. One of the best snorkeling spots of the island is just in front of the property. Also there is a prime surf learning spot with small waves and many surf teachers around. Grocery store, cafes, restaurants with decent food nearby. Has parking.
  : The decoration is very scrambled and old. So many things hanging on the walls and sitting around. The pictures of the property were looking much better than what it indeed is. Maybe pics were taken years ago or some brightness filters were used. The moment we arrived, I could not make sure we were at the right location and rechecked the pics on my booking. The bed linens did not make me feel they were clean, various not matching non-white colors made me feel like that i suppose. The blanket’s fabric was polyester making one sweat like hell. Funny part is that in the checkout instructions, we were asked to strip the linens off. Why should the guests work on the cleaning process while what they got in the first place did not feel clean at all? The towels were in brown color which makes one think it is to hide potential dirt and stains. Indeed their brown color had also faded a bit. Bathroom curtains were not clean.There are wide variety of amenities provided. But again cleanliness was an issue. The AC is very old and noisy. I tried to clean the coffee maker but was stained badly and its charcoal filter was very old. The refrigerator and dishwasher also were not very clean. Only one opened roll of paper towel was provided despite min stay is 4 days and management expects the guests to keep the dishes clean. Dish soap and dishwasher detergent were provided. Though there was no washing machine detergent. So, I guess guests are expected to make some shopping as well. To be fair, I did not inquire the management about these. It is self checkin. I did not meet them and thus did not bother them for these small details that add up in the end. Overall, I would not have paid attention to these details maybe if the price was more reasonable and the management had not insisted on min 4 days stay which kept us locked in. The price increases the expectation on cleanliness and looks. Not worth the money.
