Our week was incredibly relaxing, and everything was just as described (and impeccably clean). I'm not sure we could have picked a better place; even though there's no "beach view", the walk to the beach was maybe 60 seconds (2 minutes with our toddler) and there were tide pools for him to play in while others watched the massive shore breaks the North Shore is known for. The house is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Sharks Cove and the Pipeline, so the location literally can't be beat. Foodland is an easy walk (get the poke by the pound and make your own rice in the open kitchen!), and the food trucks across from Sharks Cove should give you all the options you need. As others have noted, Patrick was responsive and had great suggestions. If we make it back to Oahu, Patrick's place will be at the top of our list!
