Paula and her family were so nice and very accommodating! They helped us with anything we needed and gave lots of suggestions for different things to do. Anything we could think of, they knew the place to go for it. We went in April which was great for snorkeling and sea turtle spotting, and some newbie surf lessons.
The space was great! My partner and I used the space to work from home for a few weeks (and then vacation 😊), and it worked well. We were able to work one in the kitchen area and one in the bathroom as the sink was a great height and had plenty of counter space. Wifi worked well too. The bathroom was freshly renovated so that was also super nice and luxurious. We used the hot plate to make breakfast almost every morning and had everything we needed to do so in the kitchenette. The kitchen table was also very comfortable to use. The absolute winner for this spot though is the bed – it is so comfortable. And the sheets were a great quality – very soft. Same with the towels. After a long day, that alone is amazing to come back to. There’s a little space/alcove outside the space with some privacy which was nice to sit in to greet the day. The neighborhood is safe and quiet – absolutely no complaints here.
The place is walking distance to the beach and a walkable distance into Haleiwa, but a bike or car is recommended if you plan on packing your days or going further. Restaurants, bakeries, gift shops, and beaches are 5-10 min drives away and the popular beaches on the North Shore average a 15 min drive.
I highly recommend this spot – great getaway space that is close enough to the action.
