Tired, worn and desperately needs updating.
Floors throughout the property were worn thru to bare wood. Carpet under dining table pilled and worn. Table chairs cushions broke down. See more below.
I would probably have given this a better review had the owner been more empathetic, but he was not. This is an obvert money grab on his part. Worst customer service I have EVER received at a VRBO stay.
NO GAS provided for gas grill and owner refused to provide.
Beach chair broke and would not replace. The property description lists 4 chairs, there were 2 and 1 was broken. The owners response was no one else had complained about the chairs and just go to the Mauna Lani beach. I had to purchase my own.
TV remote was not operable, and owner would not replace.
Plan on buying your own dishwasher soap(1tab provided) Garbage bags(a few provided) Shampoo(2 shampoo and bars of soap provided-Motel 6 size). Toilet paper. When I inquired about this was told the are not a hotel.
Ice dispenser inoperable. Tried to fix per owners noted left in unit but still inoperable. So a known problem they let linger.
Stove: all heat temperature markings are rubbed off.
Soap dispenser in bathroom is rusted.
Washing Machine is MOLDY. STINKS.
Lights burned out in laundry, kitchen stove and microwave. Stove fan runs but does not draw.
Shower heads covered in hard water calcium deposits.
Chipped bathtub in 2nd bath.
NO headboards on beds. Mattresses just pushed up against the wall.

The condo is located in a beautiful area. That is the only good thing about it. The furniture is worn out. The appliances have all control markings rubbed off. The wood floors have large areas of finish removed. Everything is at least 30 years old. The place needs a complete refurbishing.

Roomy townhouse with a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed breakfasting on the downstairs lanai and lounging in the evening on the upstairs one. Pool is close, private beach club access is a short drive.
Our only 2 minor quibbles would be the ice maker not working well and we’d have liked a newer coffee machine. Like I said, minor quibbles. 10/10 we’d stay here again.

There was no propane for the BBQ and the property owner claimed it was clearly stated in the house instructions that propane was difficult to find and they didn't have anyone who could deliver it. This was not in fact clear other than stating where you can go to get it. We were expected to fill the tanks ourselves, which we ended up choosing not to do b/c the one place we went did not have any.
Don't expect to use the gym as they only let 1 person in at a time and people sign up all through the week claiming most all times.
It said condiments were provided but we ended up having to purchase all of them and stocked the fridge. They do have oils and some spices.
The pictures show boogie boards, but those are not provided either.

This is a very pleasant location. We have stayed at the Fairways several times over the years & has a great location. The interior was clean ,but in need of some minor cosmetic touch ups

Wonderful location. Lacked basics. Had to buy garbage bags,washing machine soap , laundry detergent, paper towels and toilet paper. Over all, it was very nice. I would still come back.

We had a quick trip for a wedding celebration at the Fairmont Orchid. The condo was a perfect location for us to meet up with family and friends at the different beaches. Really enjoyed the 2 bikes in the garage. Kitchen well stocked.
Only problem we had was the A/C - it just did not seem to be cooling our unit.
Property manager very quick with a response.

The physical unit was fine, and upon first glance it seemed clean other then the living room floor which had not been cleaned since the last guests and the bag of trash left on the landing up stairs. If this was all we experienced, we would not be writing about it. As we began settling in on the day of our arrival (4 pm check in; 5 night stay), we did see a pack of red pepper flakes that had been opened by an animal and animal dropping on the kitchen counter. We also saw an animal dropping in the master bathroom toilet area. A couple of hints that an animal (most likely a rat) had been in the unit at sometime. Then when going to bed later that night, we found dropping in both beds (master bedroom and second bedroom), on the floor near the beds in both rooms and more in the master bathroom. We wrote to the owners about the issue and asked if they had another property we could move into. Again, this was an issue we walked into, not a problem that developed after we had been staying at their property. We also reached out VRBO to whom we could send pictures. VRBO could not help because we could not send pictures of the ‘animal’. In the morning we saw that an animal had gotten into a sealed bag of fruit on the kitchen counter (all other food had been put into the refrigerator). Additionally more droppings were present in other rooms. Now we knew knew there was an active rat problem and could no longer safely stay here. The owner responded to our message by reporting that they had not had received reports of this issue from past renters or their housekeeper, and their unit was constantly occupied. They also stated that there was a rat and mongoose were a problem on the island and described the HOA’s pesticide program. They did nothing to help resolve the immediate problem we walked into at their property. Interpreting their message, it was our problem to deal with at their property. We checked out that morning, less than 24 hours from our arrival, and informed the owners. We requested a refund. We have not heard from the owners since and did not receive any type of compensation.
To put this review into context, we have never had an experience like this before or another type of other rental issue in the past 10 years of renting individual properties. We did not take writing this review lightly.
