Wow, what I perfect holiday I had at Marie's perfect surfer studio. Marie was so helpful and welcoming and showed me around my cute home for the five days I stayed there. I also appreciated the bike tour of the area including gorgeous beaches and tips. I felt completely safe in the area as a lady travelling by myself. The studio has everything you could ask for including hairdryer and beach towels, and morning coffee. The kitchenette and fridge was handy as I bought some supplies and the bed and shower were amazing after days spent exploring the North Shore. Not to mention and relaxing and beautiful garden to look at when I wasn't out. The use of the bike was also very appreciated and made getting to the beaches easy as. I even was able to borrow a backpack. I had a car but sometimes it was nice to take the bike for a ride and not have to deal with parking at the popular beaches. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a more local and authentic stay in a beautiful part of Oahu. Ted's Bakery is minutes down the road and Foodland is a five minute drive or a 10-15 min bike ride along the safe bike path. Thank you so much Marie for making my stay on the North Shore such a memorable one. I already want to come back and stay again...for longer! Five days just wasn't long enough.
