As the other reviews state, the studio rental is well equipped with any essentials you will need. It is comfortable for one or two people, and Ellen is an amazing hostess. She graciously answered my many questions in a timely manner, and she gave us the very helpful tip to leave the rental before 10am in order to avoid traffic driving north to beaches such as Shark’s Cove and Three Tables. My husband and I love to snorkel, and the water was calm and clear in the mornings during our stay at the beginning of August. The town of Haleiwa is only about five minutes away by car and offers a mix of restaurants, markets, and retail shops. It is mostly a day town, though, so apart from the restaurants, most of the stores close by the evening. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay. We also enjoyed making friends with Minnie and Zombie, the cats who live on the property.
