We stayed 18 nights at Michele's place with our three children and it was great for our family of 5. The whole cottage is newly renovated so everything you find from tableware and furniture to appliances, floors, shower etc is brand new. The outside areas of the cottage are also really nice with places to sit/relax, enjoy a drink or watch the view and the sunset from the upper level. We cooked some meals and found everything we needed in the kitchen. You will also find plenty of Surfers Journal magazines which was nice touch. The garden has a big lawn and Michele will give you fruits from the garden, like lilikois, starfruit, citrus fruits and papaya. There is no traffic and you sleep really well, on a high swell you can hear the ocean.
Location is on the beautiful North Shore. You will need a car. "Everything" is within close proximity from the house, grocerystore, plenty of foodtrucks, Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay, Turtle Bay, Ted's Bakery, Kahuku Farm Cafe and much much more.
We also made plenty of daytrips all over the island during our stay, and it was always nice to return to our "home" on the North Shore.
So if this cottage is available don't hesitat! Book it straight away before someone else does, you wont be disappointed!
