Carol was a wonderful host! We stayed for 3 nights (4 adults, 3 kids) and it felt just like home. We loved the location - 5 minute drive to Giovanni's shrimp truck, Matsumoto's shave ice and 15-20 minute drive to Shark's Cove tide pools, Waimea Valley and the Dole Plantation. Carol recommended Haleiwa Joe's for dinner and we ended up eating there every night as it was very kid friendly and had a great menu.
The house was clean, cosy and comfy with a lovely deck. There are kitchen and laundry facilities, as well as snorkelling/beach gear for kids that Carol let us borrow. However is no TV (actually a good thing as the kids interacted more) and no air con (but sufficient ceiling fans). Overall it was a wonderful stay and we hope to be back!!
