On arrival, we met Meleana at the local farm stand where she is very involved. We picked up a basket of locally grown veggies and we immediately felt like we were part of the local community or, at least, supporting the local community. The house is dreamy on so many levels and the perfect spot for a North Shore getaway. I am surprised we did not read anything in previous reviews about the amazing tree in the backyard. This thing has to the biggest Banyan tree I have ever seen and it amazingly has this calming effect. It looks like the kind of tree which can talk to you late at night like a Disney movie character. Mele actually has lights on it so at night you still get the full effect.
The house is in the absolute perfect location. You can walk to the market, food trucks, and numerous beaches. There are some good local hikes from the house as well. You can park your car and not get back in it until you leave. For those of us who spend too much time in our cars this was a huge deal.
The house itself was a just right. Rustic enough to feel like a beach house, but appointed nicely to have all the creature comforts.
Our family could not have been more pleased with everything this location provides for the perfect North Shore experience.
