It's advertised as a full kitchen but be prepared you get a single pan, toaster, random cookware, and a grill. If you read the occupancy its mentions 6 or maybe 7 can stay here? I have no idea how that would be possible as I am here with my wife, daughter, and mother in law and daughter is sleeping on the couch. All this aside it's still decent for the price. I am giving 2 stars mainly for the housekeeping people. They come at random times and maybe not at all? I have taken my own trash out several days because ants are common in Hawaii. I was stationed here and gave my family the info on that. The main issue is we have had 4 towels for our stay and these housekeepers have not changed them for a days. We even left them on the floor in a bundle in an attempt to make it more obvious they need changing and they still disregarded providing fresh towels. They have also provided 2 rolls of toilet paper for a 14 day stay. I expect things to not be provided by virtue of spending a career with Marines so we preemptively bought toilet paper at 9 pm on the way back from day adventures and thankfully we did or we would be out of luck because housekeepers didn't check that. We also have not had our sheets changed once in over a week of staying here. We were able to book the 7 days for myself (active duty) and my wife got her 7 day stay (also active duty). When the housekeeper crew shows up while we are here and knock on the door, I politely answer with "hey good morning come on in" And the lady looks at me like I'm some Kind of jerk off. Gives me a sense that she expects me to hand her the trash rather than coming in and getting it (like she would do if I weren't in the unit anyway). I think these units being further from the base gives the cleaning crew a "out of sight, out of mind" feeling? Or possibly that the price point on the unit becomes a "well you get what you pay for" type service. I have no idea. I'm looking forward to speaking with the front desk when it opens in the AM. Maybe it will be resolved.

Amazing location - a true Hawaiian Paradise. First, if this listing is up (VRBO)--just click NOW…read moreand book it, quickly before it is gone. We did soon after we saw it and were fortunate, it was a brand new listing and we turned out to be the FIRST tenants ever, and it turned out amazing. What a FIND! We initially looked in Waikiki (stayed there 7 trips before), but most of the nice places (with ocean views and reputable locations) were either way too pricy ($250 and up--ads up for an 11 day stay), plus most required $25 a day for parking (add in another $275), plus some had high management fees (one was $495) if through VBO. Others had WEAK Internet (if they listed Internet access at all (and I had to work early mornings and used Skype for my calls). Others had terrible reviews (cockroaches, sounds of traffic, poor service). I wasn't happy (and time was short--every time I looked I didn't find something). So, I started checking other locations. If I was off the strip then I wanted to stay on the east side if we headed north--since that's where the Polynesian Cultural Center was (by far the #1 best and true Polynesian experience) and I found THIS listing. The pictures looked good--but there were no reviews (I was the Guinee pig). The person I emailed was VERY responsive (usually within minutes), I got my questions answered and applied. We got it. Location The one bedroom apartment suite was located about 15 minutes south of the Polynesian Cultural Center off the main road. It took about 40 minutes from the airport (the distance wasn't far--but most roads were 35 mph). The photos showed the ocean, but said it was about 900 feet from the actual beach. It is actually at the end of a cul-de-sac "up" the hill off the main road (so it is quiet)... with a volcano behind it! It rises up the hill and above the other homes and is comparable to the 10th floor of a hotel with a view of the ocean! The view behind is of Hawaiian jungle (after the plush lawn). It takes up the entire ground floor of a nice home that the owners (from Illinois) were obviously very lucky to find (their dream home in Hawaii). The driveway is pretty steep, but at the top you can turn to the right into your own private garage. Facilities You enter through the garage (they have their items meticulously stored all around) and then you have your own code to enter the door. It enters a hallway with the bathroom on the right. The entire floor is serpentine stone (very nice) and even the bathroom back walls are covered with the same stone--very classy (there is even stone trim baseboard). BTW, the towels are thick and plush and there is GREAT water pressure and plenty of hot water. To the left is the big refrigerator (and they pre-stocked it with several bottles of fresh water), shelves with plates, and then the simple kitchen area. It has a nice four-person table (great for my laptop for my early calls)--we used the marble covered patio table for breakfast (and views). There is a nice living room with a TV, stereos and shelves with fun board games. To the left of the living room is a big bay window that looks into the Hawaiian jungle and a nice small yard. You feel enveloped in Hawaii! The couch folds into a bed and has memory foam (not one of the cheap roll outs). There are two large pocket doors that open into the bedroom--which has a large window and bay window that leads to the porch. The bed is AMAZING. It is a Sealy ($$$$) king size that is firm with a plush pillow top--as good as our king at home which cost thousands. The huge front patio (Lanai) overlooks coconut and banana trees and the ocean. It turned out to be perfect for breakfast (but pick up a little mosquito spray just in case). The rear patio is also nice and has a new barbecue. I clocked the Internet speed and the wi-fi was 46 mbps down and 11 mbps up--which was fantastic (and stable). There are also lots of TV stations and Netflix. There is a shared modern washing machine/dryer off the kitchen. Remember to open the door for the front-loading washer when done (they can mold in the Hawaiian humidity). You can occasionally hear the TV upstairs, but this is a house--so it's expected and feels like "home." It feels like the perfect, classy, immaculate beach house. It also feels like the real Hawaii--not the touristy crowds (yet it was still convenient to places we like to go). I came here with my wife and our young granddaughter. The owners live upstairs and occasionally left us little gifts--including a juicy pineapple outside our door. They were very responsive to anything we needed--including ideas for the best snorkeling and beaches close by. I rate this FIVE stars (would give it higher if possible). It is truly a Hawaiian Paradise and it was an incredible value as well. It is like an upscale "Hilton" home away from home. I HIGHLY recommend it!
