Great place to stay if you want easy access to North Shore beaches and other experiences and is still close enough to the bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki for day trips. If you are looking for night life, keep looking. This place is beautiful, peaceful, and tranquil, close enough to shopping and dining, but away from the high rises constant activity and noise. We loved it! Watching the sun rise from the patio is inspiring. Hosts are wonderful!
