Clean comfy space to hang out in between adventures in Hawaii. AMAZING private-feeling beach 3 houses away. You can wade in it, walk it, comb it and most the time you are the only one on it. Our 2 year old loved running down to the beautiful point (others do too so hold their hands). The point was a great place to stretch in the morning and watch the sunrise. I was able to bake and cook every day in the full kitchen. People even left some condiments in the fridge, tinfoil and helpful spices so I didn’t have to buy all that. Garbage bags, soap, TP and paper towels were stocked. Host was responsive to text and even had to come over to help because I couldn’t figure out Cable tv (don’t have it at home) and was cool to talk to and another time because I locked myself out, haha. He even suggested a great hike we ended up taking and without me saying anything about the crazy weather we randomly had, he told me where on the island the sun usually hides when weather is rainy. Backyard was fun for my 2 year old and I didn’t need any toys or books or high chairs or anything. It is shared with the host and fam and whoever rents the top floor, yet we always had it to ourselves. We met neighbors upstairs and it was nice. You hear footsteps from above, but everyone was quiet during evening and night. Has AC unit if you get hot and fans in all the rooms. Store and shops at bottom of the street (closed Sunday’s due to the area is a Mormon community). Plenty of stores and places that sell beer only a couple miles away (open Sunday’s). Tons of beaches close drive away and many places to eat or check out. Stay here if you want to be on the North Shore away from the hustle bustle of Honolulu!
