We had a good experience during our stay. The house was easy to find, and despite the distance from the Airport, the route was direct, with few turns. Being able to park right in front of the house was convenient.

The house itself was well laid out, will all the necessary amenities. It was clean, the furniture was stylish, everything worked as it should have. The television, cable, and internet were easy to navigate.

The location was convenient to the North Shore, and was only a few minutes drive to the parks and beaches, and fairly close to Haleiwa.

On the not-so-good side was the lack of air conditioning. The ceiling fans did a good job of keeping us cool at night, but not so good during the day. Keeping cool meant opening the windows, and at night there is a fair amount of traffic to the end of the point, which seems a popular hang out and make out spot for the local young people. The back yard was a little unkempt, and the beach toys were not so well organized.

The nearby private beach was beautiful, and was great for swimming and marine activities. But before jumping in, check the beach for blue box jellyfish. These have a nasty sting, which I found out the hard way. If there are no dead ones on the beach, they are not likely to be any in the water.

The nearby grocery store has everything one could need as far a food, drink, and snacks go. There is a McDonald's a short distance away, and a 7-11 about 3 miles down the road.

If you want to do some more serious shopping, you need to drive to the Windward Mall, or Target in Kailua. On the map, Kailua is not far away, but the highway is narrow, winding, and slow, and getting around can take more time than it would take on the mainland.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a wonderful place to buy souvenirs, see shows, and enjoy good food.

Overall, I would recommend this Modern Beach Home to anyone who wants a quiet and economical stay near the North Shore, and I would not hesitate to stay there again.
