So much potential
Based on glowing reviews, we booked Cottage E at the edge of Waimea Plantation.
Positives:
• Check-in was efficient, Jasmine kind & helpful
• Separate cottages well-spaced on many acres abutting a black-sand beach
• Colorful shrubs & towering trees for shade and photo backdrops
• Cottage E was very private & quiet
• Spacious (3 lg bdrms, 2 ½ baths, dining & sitting areas, covered patio with chairs)
• Comfortable beds
• Proximity to walking-only beach; enjoyed watching waves and sunset from the expansive yard
• Quiet area (except, the roosters, part of the island’s charm!)
• Beach chairs & towels provided
This home has so much potential! If only the owners did long-overdue updates to provide the value to match the nightly price.
Improvements needed:
• Deep clean windowsills, baseboards, stovetop, bathtub, sinks
• Kitchen & bathroom updates: dishwasher, bathtub, bathroom door (holes), pots / pans, coffee maker
• Regular preventative pest control plan
• Sunroom glass doors leak profusely with heavy rain
• Curtains and sheers don’t cover the windows fully, so outdoor lights shine in at night, no privacy
While I appreciate the charm of a rustic home, in its current state we wouldn’t return. I shared my observations while there, but most improvements needed are more than quick fixes, long overdue & require an unoccupied house. My comments are intended as constructive, so the owners improve the place for future renters. The house could be spectacular & would deserve high marks.
