Aloha, Farm,
We are pleased to pre-approve your request to stay with us. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING A ROOM TYPE, AND NOT ALL ROOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE PICTURE THAT SHOWS ON YOUR REQUEST (YOU'LL NOTICE WE HAVE A GREAT NUMBER OF PICTURES ON OUR PAGE). In particular, not all of our rooms have air conditioning, or TV and cable, though if you want that, let us know and we will do our best to achieve that if possible. Due to exceedingly high electrical costs in Hawaii, air conditioning carries an extra fee of $43.98/week, state taxes included.
Most of our bookings are NOT from AirBnB, so I forgot about the special deposit arrangements with AirBnB. AirBnB authorizes the $250 deposit, BUT DOES NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD FOR THAT UNLESS I TELL AIRBNB WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER YOUR DEPARTURE, THAT THERE WERE SOME DAMAGES TO THE ROOM (OR THAT YOU KEPT THE KEY AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE LOCKS) OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 48 HOURS AFTER YOUR DEPARTURE, THE AUTHORIZATION DISAPPEARS, AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE A CHARGE TO YOUR CARD FOR THE $250.
Thanks sincerely,
Richard
