My husband and I stayed at Tamara's place for 5 nights following a 3-night stay in Waikiki. Staying at this place in North Shore was definitely the highlight of our trip. Waikiki has its own appeal, but I was so glad to get away from the crowds. Felt like we could finally kick back and relax at Tamara's place. You definitely need a car to get here, but there are so many accessible beaches within a couple minutes' drive.
The place was nicely decorated and comfortable. Would definitely love to stay here again. The only thing (very minor) was there were a couple of bugs that got into the house, but that's expected since it comes with the territory. Actually made it feel more homey!
