My experience at Honu Cove: I paid in advance for 24 days, from April 26th to May 20th. I only stayed 10 days, leaving on May 6th — not by choice, but because I was abruptly and unfairly evicted. At around 4pm on the 10th day, I received a message from the manager, Sam, telling me I had two hours to vacate the room. The reason? They accused me of burning a desk with an incense stick — something I had used in the first few days, but stopped immediately after they asked me not to. The photo they sent showed a burn mark: a large 1.5-inch circle — completely inconsistent with the 0.09-inch tip of an incense stick. Moreover, the mark was clearly an old stain, not fresh, and certainly not something caused by me. They have no proof I did it. It’s my word against the “maid boy,” Drew. They also claimed there was an incense smell in the room. That day, however, I had spent most of my time outside. And anyone who actually uses incense knows: its scent often permeates closed packaging, especially in tight spaces. I had stored sealed incense sticks in the nightstand drawer the day before, but not on the day in question, as I had already begun transferring some of my belongings to the apartment I was about to rent. For context, I am a 61-year-old woman, a single mother, a therapist for 35 years, and author of several books. I’ve dedicated my life to helping people heal. I do not go around burning furniture. I also paid $125 extra per week to have my dogs with me. In return, Drew was supposed to do weekly deep cleaning — which never happened. On day 8, I had to ask if he could at least change the sheets. The bathroom was never cleaned (the sink had yellow stains in the corners), and the kitchen was also left untouched. They refuse to refund me for the remaining 14 days. Their excuse? “We don’t do refunds.” Thank God I had just signed a lease that very day and could move in immediately — though the place was empty. I slept on a comforter on the floor for two nights until my furniture arrived. Apparently, only legal action will make justice and basic common sense prevail.
