We enjoyed our stay at Keauhou Estates Hale Kuhinanui Way. The home was centrally located and very comfortable and well equipped. The downside was the gnat/ant issue. With no A/C, leaving the windows open and ceiling fans on was a necessity. A/C was really not needed - the outdoor temperature and ocean breeze were comfortable. The issue was that holes in the screens and/or loose fitting screens allowed gnats/ants and other flying insects (not to mention a few small lizards) to enter the house. By the last few days of our stay, hundreds of dead gnats, etc. littered countertops. We applied a liquid bait, which worked, but there was an ick factor! Gradually, that became a problem that interfered with our enjoyment of the home. Get the screens fixed and I would give the home a 5 star rating.
Aloha Shane,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent stay with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time on the island. We are sorry to hear the gnats were an issue. Because of the recent rains over the last several weeks, we are seeing an unexpected influx of gnats and ants all over the island at the moment, and unfortunately they are so small that they get through a lot of screens. Geckos are a part of island life and will find the smallest of cracks to sneak through at times. We will have maintenance inspect the screens. We enjoyed hosting you folks!
Mahalo,
