Malia and Bernie are gracious hosts, who are happy to share stories and tips on the North Shore. The room is cozy, very clean, and is located on the ground floor away from the living area, and near the front door for easy access. With this being said, be aware of two things. First, the AC unit is "for emergency use only, please" to keep costs and carbon footprints low. The October trade winds kept us cool, but the open windows needed for airflow left few sounds private. Second, they have a really sweet older dog. However, there is a doggy potty pad located right outside the bedroom door, which led to some surprises on our way in and out. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Just come prepared for the trade winds and furry friends.
