Barbara is an excellent host and we truly enjoyed our stay with her for a week! She is very open to your needs & helpful with suggestions & ideas for things to do on the island especially locally which we loved. She is available if you need her, but she gives you privacy too. Her property is beautiful and you feel at one with nature especially in the morning. Waking up in her apartment is wonderfully refreshing and we loved the countryside, so relaxing and peaceful. I highly suggest staying there if you love the North Shore and Haleiwa it's so close being in Waialua or if you want a different experience then Honolulu. My husband and I would definitely stay there again in the future!
