Phil and family are great hosts. They didn’t have to host us last minute over the holidays yet they kindly did. Their place — the lower level of their north shore home near famed Sunset Beach & Velzy — is easy to access through the side gate and lighted path with dedicated parking space. Tasteful world decor, some of which may not be small child friendly. The streaming service, games chest, and bunks were a hit with our kids under 10. Beds were comfy and ceiling fans kept air circulating. Beach towels and in unit laundry came in super handy. Outdoor shower and beach gear under the deck in a lush backyard setting a bonus. Phil checked in on us a few times and made sure we were set. Mahalo!
