Wow. What can we say. We have used AirBnB a number of times but never have we encountered hosts as awesome as Phil, Heather, Zoe and Ian. They went out of their way to show us a good time on the North Shore and make our experience really unforgettable. Phil took us surfing to some cool local spots followed by yummy fish tacos. On one of the other nights, we enjoyed a bbq with the family too. We never felt imposed upon and even though Phil and family live upstairs, they totally respect your space and privacy. It is a perfect set up.
The place is so perfectly located. It is a 2 min walk to beaches in a tranquil lush setting. If you have kids, it is within walking distance to Mothers Beach and the cottage is well stocked to accommodate beach days with babies (spf 50 beach tent, bucket and spade etc). There is a cool bicycle pathway behind the house which is great for cycling or a morning stroll/run too. And definitely get breakfast at Shark's Cove and a sunset cocktail at Turtle Bay!
The house is awesome too.... Super super clean with some great touches from the family to make you feel so at home. You will love the lanai too.
So jealous you are reading this review as it means you are heading to Hawaii.... We are certainly going to go back!
