We had a wonderful time at the Surfers & Writers Paradise. The space is very comfortable, and equipped with all the beach gear you will need, including plenty of towels. You can see and hear the water from the back lenai and the screened-in lenai is a nice addition for relaxing outside in the evenings while avoiding bugs.

It is a very short walk to a quiet beach (during one short visit there, we saw no one else, which was awesome!) and also within walking distance of Haleiwa, a cute little town. It is also just a short drive from a variety of other beaches, all of which were beautiful.

There are chickens in the yard behind the house, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper because the rooster wakes up quite early.

Would stay here again if I am lucky enough to return to Oahu in the future!
