I wish I had seen these reviews on Yelp before I booked, but at least I got a refund before…read moreactually having to stay in the property they were trying to rent us. Classic bait-and-switch SCAM. They canceled our original VRBO Oahu rentals twice, offering a different property each time via email for houses that were listed on VRBO. They sent an email with a link to book through Rental Advisor instead of VRBO, which would have been protected by VRBO's Book with Confidence Guarantee. Because this whole process seemed fishy and Rental Advisor was not forthcoming about renter protections I decided to go deep enough into the booking process to see their Renter Agreement, in which I found the property address. I searched the property on Google Maps and found the house in a rundown neighborhood nowhere near ocean beaches (like the rental "bait"). Needless to say I canceled the original rentals (twice, because they actually listed TWO great-looking rentals on Oahu as "bait.") I feel for the folks who actually ended up in some of their properties and had ruined vacations. I'm a pretty savvy traveler and even I almost fell for their scams. STAY AWAY! The photos: The one in the daylight was the "bait," the one taken at night is the "switch" (pretty nice, huh?) and the street is where the house is located.

Email about theft in the area' so we were afraid to open the windows and leave. The beds were HORRIBLE! Cheapest beds they could find. When we contacted them for a refund they said no. Didn't offer to get us an AC unit just told us that "you should have been here last week, it was hotter. And no one in Hawaii has AC " well we had another unit a few blocks away that did!! After my review was posted on VRBO- they had it taken down. Said I threatened to leave a bad review if I was not compensated for having to spend two of the hottest nights in a hotel! Oh and just in case you do get to sleep- the Rooster farm next door will make sure it's not for long!!

We didnt even get to stay here because the owners are back and fourth on policy's Booked in for Dec 2020 during covid. My family contracted Covid days away from trip. We were definitely well within the Covid guidelines of a return policy, but they wouldn't give one so we agreed to just using the credit at a later. After that they more than able to cancel it and tried to reschedule us for the spring . Their availability went away every time. Every few months we would attempt to make a booking, but they were always full. (interesting right ?) Next thing you know two years plus go by. Now she says she's unable to give us any compensation or credit because we're past the two years. It's not our fault they did not have availability. Don't book your stay here. The owners have every intention to get money out of you and lack any type of customer service. Worst customer service and just the worst selfish people. Greed: greed /rēd/ noun 1. intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

We booked this stay for April 2020, which obviously we had to rebook. After some negotiation, we…read morewere given full credit to rebook a year later. It seemed to be a perfect destination for our honeymoon- beach front, quiet, no crowds. However, upon our arrival, we were greeted with three children screaming next door and loud music playing. The beach front rental we booked does have a privacy screen on the patio but it's pretty much a shard patio. No matter- we will just lounge on the beach and enjoy our homemade beverages. Unfortunately, the hurricane like wind prevented that. It was so windy that we didn't even use the lounge chairs or picnic table outside. The waves on the beach were too intense due to the weather, so we attempted to find calmer beaches...no luck on the north side. Rip currents were everywhere. Okay, how about a nice dinner? Nope- your only option is roadside shrimp or a taqueria, which was fine, but not what we had anticipated. McDonald's had coffee since our place wasn't furnished with any. There are grocery stores nearby, so that's where we got some food. Everything shuts down around 9. The management was responsive to the complaints we had of the children, but you're pretty much at the mercy of whomever is staying next to you since it's an intimate setting and thin walls. Oh, and I hope you like roosters being raised in a dilapidated house next door. After another day of failing to find a beach we could swim in, we came home to find a giant sewer cockroach in the bathroom. That was the final straw. We headed to Waikiki and enjoyed sunshine, calm warm waters, and a wonderful dinner out. Yes, it was crowded, but the water made everything better. The windward side is very authentic...very windy and rainy when the other side is not, and sparse as far as eateries go. It just wasn't the honeymoon we imagined. We asked for at least a night refund (we left two nights early) but didn't get a response to that at all.

We were hoping Royalty Realty had something available for what we were looking for (sadly they didn't at the time) since we've had the best experience over the past 4 years with them. Our amazing property manager Michelle Lum made living in one of their units such a joy. Any little issue that came up she was right there and always so helpful every step of the way. We appreciate everything they've done for us, especially her, and making our living experience so comfortable. We will definitely always check back in with Michelle for our future property needs. Thank you for the last 4 amazing years. Aloha!

Renter Beware: Avoid This Property Management Company…read more I rented through this agency for over 4 years, always paid on time, and left the apartment in better condition than when I moved in. Despite this, they withheld most my security deposit and tried to charge me for furniture that was never even provided in the unit. This wasn't an isolated incident of poor service -- I had requested replacement curtains after mine fell apart, and it took the agency over a year to follow through. Communication was consistently unresponsive and unprofessional throughout my tenancy. What makes this worse is that I now own a rental property myself. Having seen how this company treats tenants, I would never use them -- not as a renter, and not as an owner looking for a property management company. They seem far more interested in squeezing every dollar from deposits than treating good tenants fairly. If you're considering renting from this agency, think twice. And if you're a property owner considering hiring them to manage your property, look elsewhere.

Okay whatever makes you sleep better at night.. lies and unethical and thank you for "allowing" us…read moreto break a lease as living in the house lead to MAJOR health issues with our minor son from living in that nasty house that was infested with mold, mildew & rodents!. And then retaliate charging for normal wear and tear of a house falling apart. We have pictures too. Shameful No damage was done on the property, as stated on the invoice this is normal wear and tear. Also this is a two unit property shared garage cans. With another tenant who also used the garbage cans, where we even helped our senior lower unit tenant dump her garbage the day we moved out, And when we moved in the cans were full and we had to request it to be removed. We have emails showing the cans were full and removed with rental company. Returning property as it was found, no damage done to the property. Normal wear and tear on the invoice and some are not even real. Duck tape so rodents don't go in the house.. wear and tear! And all health issues gone since moving out Security deposit can not be deducted for no damage and just wear and tear, as seen on invoice to the property. The towel bar was like 40 years old! Sean and Cathy can kick rocks with slippers on. Extremely unprofessional and unethical.

Thank you to my sister for recommending this team because they were an absolute dream to work with…read more As a first time buyer I had no clue what I was getting myself into, and doing my own research/ talking with friends and family only made me more confused. But after taking with Sean and Raullen, I was able to take the first steps and felt like I was finally heading in the right direction. Their team was in contact with me basically everyday from the initial calls to viewing, step by step they explained everything, and anytime I had questions or needed recommendations they were always there to answer. They work with the purpose of supporting you, and communicate so well between each other and the other key people it takes to close on home, that within a month or 2 I was signing and handed my keys!! It's been about a year since then, and I'm so thankful to them for being there and basically holding my hand through the whole process. I'll be sure to contact them again when the time comes! Thank you Sean and Raullen!!
