We relaxed here for 4 nights and enjoyed the space, tranquility, adorable doggy Kona, beautiful garden, ocean view and bird watching from the balcony. Pictures and descriptions were accurate, except in the balcony, there was no longer the green picnic table with 2 benches. This allowed more space for bird watching and ocean viewing. Michele's estate includes three homes: her home, the Pupukea Carriage House in the middle, and the Pupukea Cottage. The spacious Pupukea Carriage House was over a garage: the interior about 800 squared feet plus 300-squared-feet balcony. The shared washer and dryer were in the garage. Neighbors were far away; we heard birds, roosters, geckos, and doggy Kona throughout the day. We found these sounds comforting. Roosters call at 6am every morning, but thick windows ensured quiet nights. Although we didn't use them, both AC and heater were available. Michele replied to messages promptly, greeted us at arrival, and told us of many hiking trails and activities in the area. She accommodated our scent sensitivity by washing all linen with Seven Generation laundry detergent. Overall, this was a good find in the North Shore and we were grateful for the hospitality of Michele and her family.
