Marie’s place is in a wonderful location very close to all the places I wanted to go. The best beaches, Haleiwa town, and the beautiful Waimea Valley. The upstairs loft has high ceilings and great energy. It’s bright and cheerful and the bed is SO COMFORTABLE. I think I slept more at Marie’s than I have in years. The bikes were in great shape and if you need extras she has plenty! Anything I needed Marie had on my doorstep within minutes. She even cleaned the place for me because I stayed for a few weeks. The vibe there is awesome and offers a chill laid back Hawaii getaway. I was alone so plenty of room for me but the second bedroom is great if you have extra friends. Overall I was quite happy there and felt very much at home. The bathroom is located downstairs and yes you do have to walk down some outside stairs to get to it but honestly after about two days I was used to it and didn’t think about it much. I know some people mention this in their review but it’s really not a big deal. Every chance to be outside in Hawaii is a treat! Highly recommend.
