We had a wonderful time! The condo was exactly as pictured. I misunderstood that the AC is only in the bedroom, luckily we had already acclimated on another island and the 2 doors/fans help cool the place down. The king size bed has a quality mattress and great pillows providing very restful sleep. We opted to drive to the beach, too far to walk w/ all the awesome beach toys! Adult size, adjustable flippers were a plus (women's 10 and men's 13). The swimming pool was fantastic, especially when you don't feel like being sandy.

If you watch one DVD while at the condo: Bustin' Down the Door is a must! It literally takes place right where you are on the north shore and provides crucial surfer history!

Don't miss these awesome North Shore staples:
Ted's Bakery - killer breakfast sandwiches, donuts, pie, iced coffee
Matsumoto's Shave Ice - get it with ice cream on the bottom
Coffee Gallery - need I say more
Cholo's - newer mexican spot, but very tasty
Pu'u o Mahuka Heiau - Turn at the Foodland signal (away from the beach) and head ALL the way up the hill. You won't regret it.

Thank you Douglas for offering us your home. A special thank you for caring and communicating with us during the chance of 2 hurricanes which thankfully downgraded! We greatly enjoyed the condo,the North Shore, and of course the neighbors from New York! We would happily stay again if we ever find ourselves missing the North Shore. Oh wait, we already do!!
