Let me preface my statement, which may or may not be lengthy, by saying I LOVE HAWAII, I love coming home to where is was born, raised and spent the largest chunk of my life.
Okay, here I go…
We have been renting this condo in Honolulu for the last five years and it is spectacular! Great price, fantastic location, reasonably priced, free parking in a secured building, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 700+ square feet end unit, large lanai that overlooks Diamond Head and Queen’s Beach from the twin La-Z-Boy recliners, walking distance to Waikiki, easy access out of town to anywhere on the Island (Oahu) that we want to go, everything that we need is within 2 miles…

I really shouldn’t complain … but I must!
When we arrived this year to the apartment, it had not been cleaned very well, I had to dust AND vacuum!
The dishes in the cupboard were NOT CLEAN, AGH! I ran all of the dishes, glasses, coffee mugs, EVERYTHING through the dishwasher on sanitize.
I then felt that the bathroom probably hadn’t been cleaned well either, and I was right!
I stripped the bed and washed the sheets and the bath towels before we used any of them.
Each year that we stay here, I bring all sorts of cooking extras such as spices, herbs and other ingredients to use and I leave some in the pantry for the next occupants. Usually, they are replaced, but not on this visit.
In a vacation rental, which this is, if you use something up, you buy more for the next guest, that’s the way it works. This year, I found very little to NO basic supplies, such as TP, Paper Towels, Shampoo, Bath Soap, Dish Soap, Sponges, Laundry Soap … I’ll stop there, but you get the idea.
We owned a Vacation Rental for many years and at the beginning we supplied ALL of the start-up basics and it was a common courtesy to leave in-kind what you used… not here as of late!
I’m very, very disappointed in the decline of this property and I wanted to tell the property manager, but my husband feels that I shouldn’t.
I’ve already started to look for another rental in a different part of the Island, but unfortunately the County has proposed a new tax on vacation rentals that could easily push out many of the affordable places available today.
