Takasan and Mimi were very welcoming and gracious hosts. They greeted us on arrival and gave us a tour of their place, explaining everything that we needed to know. Then they gave us our privacy to enjoy the place and the surrounding area. There was a very good guide book included to help us with planning our time on the North Shore. Clean and tastefully decorated, with a wraparound deck to sit and relax on. There was also a bbq, fully stocked kitchen to cook meals as well as snorkel gear and beach gear, which we used while visiting nearby Shark's Cove (just a few minutes away). Close to many beaches, and not too far to drive to places such as Polynesian Cultural Center and Haleiwa. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, towels and coffee were replenished daily and beds were made. We couldn't ask for anything more from a place on the North Shore. Thank you Takasan and Mimi.
