Cristobal’s place is located an easy walking distance to great beaches, several surfboard/paddleboard rental shops, nice cafes/restaurants/bars, souvenir/art/surf shops, supermarkets, bus stops and so on. It is handy to the 7 mile miracle which is the North Shore, both a photographer’s paradise and a watersportsperson’s dream location. And Cris is an easygoing and entertaining host, interested in his guests and eager to contribute to a memorable holiday. From time to time going out for coffee/drinks/dinner with Cris and his friends and/or a fellow guest and discussing the day’s travels or events was a real highlight for me, particularly as I was travelling alone. Haleiwa is a special part of the world, and Cristobal’s place is right in amongst it.
