Aloha, that's what they say in Hawaii and Malia gave us the feeling of Aloha from start to finish! We spent 2 weeks with Malia and Bernie. We had a very comfortable stay and felt welcome in every way. I'm a surfer and wanted to see the Pipeline Masters and we needed to be on the North Shore of Oahu and this is the place to be. I wouldn't recommend it to someone that wants to be in Honolulu or Waikiki on a regular basis. It's a good place to be if you want peace and quite, a golf course, and miles and miles of beaches of white sand, perfect green waves and of course warm sunny days. You'll have a nice king bed, a private room on the main floor (no stairs), a small refrigerator in the closet, a flat screen TV, and plenty of space to put your belongings. Extra items that you bring, surfboards, golf clubs, or anything bulky will have to be kept in your car as they have no space for it. This is a very well kept residence and Malia was the perfect hostess and we felt very welcome in our coming and going. She knows all the places to eat and knows the island like the back of her hand. We had the food trucks, Lei Lei's bar and grill (very upscale and within walking distance), and of course the Turtle Bay resort hotel very close by. I don't play golf but I hear the course is great and within walking distance. There is a surf break at the hotel and I was able to surf it a couple of times but the best places are Sunset Beach, Pipeline, among others within 5 or 10 minutes away. There is a pool within walking distance that has a bbq and it is protected from the wind with a fence that goes all the way around. An outside shower is there as well. This is a gated community so you'll be pretty safe here. You'll have a parking area just for you too! A tennis court is there too, but who has time to play tennis when you have all of Hawaii to explore? It was a relaxing vacation and many mahalo's to Malia!
