Maelita was a great host, my daughter and her husband arrived before me and Maelita was there to meet them, show them the place and answer their questions. Every time that I needed to contact her she was quick to respond and happy to help. The house was nice and worked well for our eight people. It is located a short 2 or 3 minute walk from a great public beach and about a 10 minute drive from Laie and the Polynesian cultural center, as well as being fairly close to many other fun north shore areas. Maelita was kind enough to send me several emails prior to our trip detailing a number of activities in the area as well as many fantastic places to eat. You will love your stay!
