This Airbnb is everything we expected and more! Truly such a magical and comforting place, and here’s why:
1. The Melums are the most amazing hosts! Very attentive, kind, and made us feel right at home. In a more quiet neighborhood, it was comforting being right below them. We felt very safe.
2. Even with a family above us, privacy was a 10/10! Should you need anything, Meagan and Thomas are there for you, but won’t invade your space. They were happy to lend us a wine bottle opener when we asked, and even said we could pick some lemons from their tree. :)
3. THE VIEWS ARE AMAZING. Driving up their road, you’re greeted with stunning views! But the best part is the backyard. It’s actually a dream. If you want to get away from the loud city life, and really enjoy the nature of Hawaii, you will love this place.
4. The Lalo itself is great! The king bed is nice and 3 of us slept comfortably in it. The kitchen is fully equipped; other than basic kitchen equipment there is also Tupperware, ice trays, zip lock bags, and foil. The bathroom was stocked with towels and the shampoo and conditioner smells so good! Connecting to the Wi-Fi was easy and it worked very well. We were greeted with a fresh pineapple, cookies, and cold water.
5. Location is awesome, just make sure you have a car to get around. Foodland is just down the hill, Sunrise Shack is a 10 min away with yummy breakfast and coffee, and some of the most beautiful beaches are a short drive away. Our favorite was Sunset Beach & Waimea Bay.
If you’re looking for a place to stay on North Shore, this is the place. You won’t regret it!
