We stayed in Andrew's place for three days. This place is where their family live, so everything you need is already set up there. They welcomed our family and made us feel home. Specially my kids really got along with their kids.
If you rent a car, easy access to most of spots in North shore(beautiful beaches, Kualoa Ranch, Polinesian cultural center, Super markets and etc.)
Though the entire house is not spotless clean, we definately would be back there in our next visit.
