We definitely recommend this Airbnb if you are looking for an amazing place to stay on the North Shore! The place was super clean and beautifully decorated! The view from the deck was unbelievable! The location of this Airbnb is perfect for all activities on the North Shore! We hiked to Ka'ena point to see endangered monk seals and Albatross chicks, stopped in Haleiwa for lunch and a nearby coffee/chocolate tour and got to snorkel in Shark's cove (only a few minutes from the house) with Green sea turtles!!!! Michelle was a great host and greeted us, even though we arrived later in the evening! We had lots of privacy, so don't be concerned with the host being on site. Their dog Kona was the sweetest, well-mannered dog ever and he greeted us with hugs every time! And, no worries on the chickens (seen mentioned on other reviews), we only heard them in the distance and it didn't disturb us at all. Fyi... we encountered chickens all over Oahu and Big Island, so you won't escape them anywhere, lol! We would definitely return to this Airbnb if we ever return to the North Shore and definitely recommend you stay here!!! :-)
