She was so rude to our friends & family (there were 6 of us) at the swimming pool. Eating lunch, hanging out under the awning. Weren't being loud, disruptive just chillin. She came over checked out our stuff and told us we weren't allowed to be there because we were over capacity. That's fine - however - that pool at the Element ALWAYS had large groups of people. We had done this before several times with no issues. We moved a few days ago to a place that is larger, private, less money & totally renovated. The people who live at the Element are nice. It's the management and the high cost of rent plus the astronomical utilities. Ridiculous.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shayna Flores at Kapilina Beach Homes! From the moment…read morewe first connected, Shayna's kindness, compassion, and incredible dedication shone through. She is truly non-judgmental and made us feel completely understood and supported throughout the entire process. Shayna went above and beyond to work with us, ensuring that we found a home that was perfect for our needs. She listened, showed incredible patience, and treated us with so much respect. It felt like she was genuinely invested in helping us--not just as a leasing agent, but as someone who cares deeply about people. Her superhero power? Making housing work when it feels impossible! Shayna turned what could have been a stressful experience into something manageable and even hopeful. Thanks to her, we are now settled in a home that fits our family perfectly. If you're looking for a leasing agent who is not only amazing at her job but also a genuinely kind and compassionate human being, look no further than Shayna Flores. She's the absolute best!

I'm going to sum up our experience: Kapilina management is awful and believe issuing one single ac…read moreunit in a home over 90° will not only fix the issue but also make it habitable. We had a leak in our home for over 24 hours despite calling Kapilina multiple times and calling their emergency line. The finally come out and find the leak. The "leak" had been spraying into the walls and ceiling well over 24 hours. They fix the leak. They call in remediation team. The team says they are at Kapilina quite a bit and this is one of the worst they've seen. They set up industrial dehumidifiers in the hall, bathroom, and kitchen. Next day they come out with more equipment, tell us they have to turn off the AC and run the equipment through the weekend but will probably have to be longer because it was leaking for so long. It gets HOT and the fans are loud. These fans are so loud you have to yell to hear over them. God forbid we sleep upstairs and an emergency happen. You cannot hear someone call out in the room over. I cannot hear my children in the room down the hall. How is this not a safety issue?? It's 91° in the house with two small children we're instructed not to open windows so the system can successfully dry out. 90° is HOT and poses a real risk of dehydration and/ or heat exhaustion/stroke ESPECIALLY in children. Kapilina management says the best they can do is one portable AC unit for one room. They insist that eventually this single window unit will cool the entire upstairs off to a "comfortable temperature". I reminded management that the heat from the machines will rise to upstairs. Management insisted I wait for it to cool down. They refused to put us in a different unit, a guest unit, or even a hotel. At one point the manager said it was "habitable because you have running water". Nice to know that's Kapilina's standard. After 5 hours of running this magical AC unit that's supposed to cool our home to a comfortable temperate what do you know- ITS STILL 90°-- SHOCKER. There's now a soft spot on the second floor--if I had to guess probably above the leak. Management REFUSES to help beyond supplying a single ac unit and insists this is a safe and habitable environment to keep its residents. That is the service you look forward to when you move to Kapilina Beach Homes hope this review helps!

Warning to Prospective or New Tenants, Run Far Away from Keahumoa Place and the Michaels…read moreOrganization - Mismanagement, Overcharging, and Hostile Environment!!! Keahumoa Place, managed by the Michaels Organization, is not a place to rent. My family and I lived there, always paid rent on time, and kept the unit clean. Yet the management completely mishandled our security deposit and may have taken our money unfairly shortly after signing the lease. We paid a $1,000 security deposit plus a $500 pet fee. We recently discovered that the pet fee is non-refundable, even if there are no damages caused by your pet. Essentially, Keahumoa Place keeps your pet deposit, making the fee pointless. My father moved out with my sisters on August 20, 2025, and waited over two months for our deposit. During this time, staff repeatedly told us their office manager was "working on our paperwork" and unavailable. After more than 60 days, Keahumoa's office manager finally emailed us on October 26, 2025, claiming they were keeping our entire deposit and charging an additional $1,100 for "damaged blinds" and a cleaning fee--charges we never received notice of, despite checking our mail daily. We left the unit clean, documented with photos and video, and returned the keys. How does fixing blinds and cleaning justify over $2000 in charges? In addition, we felt that their office manager also took advantage of our Section 8 status, charging more rent than advertised so her office could collect extra money from Section 8. The rent was advertised as $2,300, but she reported it as $2,500 on paperwork sent to Section 8. This is not an isolated case. Keahumoa Place has a clear pattern of keeping tenants' deposits or returning the least amount possible, supported by online reviews on Yelp and Google. Former tenants and even employees have left due to corporate greed, overly strict policies, and pressure to maximize profits from deposits. A former employee, Mercedes, wanted to charge only $500 for the security deposit due to the COVID-19 pandemic and our hardship, but Keahumoa's office manager pressured her to charge us $1,000 instead for deposit. The office manager has also been known to bully tenants and former tenants, often with the help of maintenance staff, creating a hostile and intimidating environment for tenants. Hawaii Revised Statutes § 521-44 requires landlords to return deposits or provide an itemized statement within 14 days. Keahumoa Place claims they sent this, but we never received anything until 2 months later. They ignored the law, mismanaged our deposit, and treated responsible tenants like us. Additional Concerns: * Despite being marketed as "affordable housing," tenants now pay $3000 every four weeks for a 3-bedroom. The official website still lists outdated rent at $2,175/month, while a 2019 KHON2 report said it would be around $800/month. Today, rents have surged to over $3,000. Written notices for severe rent increases have caused many tenants to move out, including families sneaking out and leaving in the middle of the night. * Promised amenities like in-unit washers and dryers are missing in many units. * Tenants must report guests staying longer than two days. Monthly unit inspections, often labeled as pest control, feel like invasive surveillance. * Persistent pest issues and chemical exposure raise serious health concerns, especially for households with children and pets. * Investors frequently tour occupied units with as little as two days' notice, causing tenants to miss work or rearrange schedules. * Units are extremely hot with poor air circulation, and tenants are not allowed to install air conditioning. Staff morale is low, and professional, compassionate employees like Mercedes and Ali have left due to pressure from upper management. Unless major improvements are made, Keahumoa Place will continue losing good tenants and staff. Final Thoughts: If you are considering Keahumoa Place, I'd suggest staying far away from this business. Based on our experience, management is too strict, unfair, and mismanages tenants' deposits. The pet fee is non-refundable, deeming it pointless; security deposits are often withheld for months, and tenants can face overcharges or harassment. Do not rent here or do business with this organization--you have been warned!
