Hale Moku, beautiful property that needs improvements.
Unfortunately, this was not the experience that I thought that we would have at Hale Moku.The house is on a beautiful piece of property. On the outside it looks great. But on the inside, it wasn’t what we were expecting. Especially for the price. When you get to the “front” sliding door, there aren’t any lights so it was hard to get the key and open the door.On the VRBO listing, it states that the house is air conditioned. It is not an air conditioned house! There is a separate room air conditioned with a small and aged unit.Without any air conditioning in the main part of the house, you use glass louver windows. Even though the sound of the waves during the day is nice, it isn’t at night when you have all of the windows open because the house is so hot! There were at least 3 windows that didn’t have shades on them.The kitchen had very minimal supplies and the plates were mismatched sets of old plates. The sheets were not as crisp and clean as you would normally have, but the beach towels were clean. But the one of the worst discoveries was a pair of dusty shorts underneath one of the twin beds that had been there awhile.We had an encounter with a large wasp and other bugs that I am assuming might be termites? The day before we left the house next door was tented for pest control. The outside decks are needing boards to be replaced. On a lower patio section there was a broken chair.Air conditioning and some repairs would improve this property!
