We stayed in two of Kaha Lani's one bedroom units over a two week period, units 221 and 127. Our original unit, 221, was very nice, second floor with beautiful ocean view. We didn't feel the need for A/C as the ocean breezes through the louvered windows and fans were plenty adequate. The unit was a bit on the small side, but comfortable, well equipped and fine for us. The issue we had was with repair and repainting work going on on the building exterior. It was noisy with equipment right outside the balcony, and intrusive with contractors showing up on the balcony multiple times unanounced to work on the railings. We were not informed about any of this ahead of time. The unit 221 property manager we rented through, Garden Island Properties, said that they were not informed. Eventually they gave us a discount in the form of a 10% refund and extra cleaning fee. Castle Kaha Lani the overall property manager was not helpful.
A few days before we were due to leave they informed us that they were going to do replacement work on our balcony. We decided we'd had enough and to relocate. We rented #127 for the last few days (through Castle Properties). We had to take what we could get at this point. Unit #127 is an ocean front ground floor unit with ocean view. On the outside and in photographs it looked nice. It was quieter and being an end floor unit was quite private. Inside the unit was generally clean on the surface, but broken items, rust and deterioration detracted from the experience. The dishwasher door balance spring was broken, and if not careful the heavy door would drop down which could have cause a foot or leg injury. There was flaking paint and detiorating moulding in places and rust around electrical outlets and switches. The bathroom medicine cabinet was old, broken and without a door, and there was built up dust in areas that the cleaner apparently never got to.
