As first timers to Hawaii, we couldn't be happier with our decision to stay on the North Shore and Mikala's place. We LOVED the food trucks (some of the best meals we had during our stay!) and having FoodLand so close (we even saw Sean Penn there one night!). The house was very clean and had everything we could have needed, not to mention the beach is right in your backyard. We were pleased to see that the house and the beach are set back from the main road, resulting in very few beach goers compared to many of the other beaches we saw. The yard is huge, the outdoor shower was a great bonus, and the secure/gated driveway was appreciated, particularly since this house/yard run alongside the walkway for others to get to the beach.

We loved being away from the more tourist heavy vibes of Waikiki and would easily stay here again. Highly recommend!
