My wife & I stayed here on our first trip to Hawaii. This was a beautiful place to stay. Perfect place to got if you need to shut your cell phone off, chill out, and get a bit of the laid-back island lifestyle. It's right on the beach beside the legendary "pipeline" surfing spot. The house is clean and well-kept with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay on O'ahu's laid-back North Shore. Snorkels, push bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs are all available for use. We could easily ride our bikes to delicious food trucks and great snorkeling spots. We enjoyed the day bed by the window that looks out on the beach. The deck is awesome and we used the outside shower everyday. Meleana is a great host, her farm is nearby and they have fresh produce to buy. She can advise on local activities and good places to eat. It was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the surf (I slept fine), but light sleepers should pack earplugs. Once the famously large surf starts, the pounding waves can rattle the windows. At the end of our stay, I really didn't want to depart from this wonderful place.
