#41 Turtle Hut at Punalu`u Black Sand Beach * Most

Ok so first the positives. It is a very cute place within walking distance to the Black Sand Beach. It is in a quite rental community and there really is value for the money as there are limited options on that side of the Island. The views from the back porch are beautiful. The listing was very clear that it was very small and had no AC but fans an a breeze from open sliding doors would be sufficient to cool the rental. In theory that was great. Now I understand living in a tropical environment attracts bugs and in the listing, they do tell you they spray frequently but we did see roaches. I understand we came at time where there was an unusual amount of rainfall but that was a bit off-putting. If that was the only issue they would have gotten a much higher review. However, to cool the unit you do in fact need to open the glass sliding doors and turn on a fan which is fine. The issue is however that there are holes in the screen doors-you can see where someone put masking tape and bugs come into the unit. They were crawling all over us while sleeping. We gave up and turned on a light at the entrance to try to drawl them away so we could sleep peacefully. By morning there were dead bugs in the bathroom, by the bed and all over the stairs. There were so many that they were nearly a full dustpan full of dead bugs. We did tell the host and sent videos showing the bugs so they could perhaps resolve the issue for the next guest but we never heard back
