Awesome place (beach house vibe) and amenities (plenty of space, comfy beds, 2 bathrooms, washer/dryer, bikes for guest use & beach gear were among our favs), practically beachfront (50 yds, or so, to the ocean), and centrally-located to all N. Shore activities.
J. Marie was an great host and communicator (in-person introduction upon our arrival, home tour, provided some local history and activity recommendations, and checked on us during to make sure we were having a pleasant stay). The overall experience exceeded our expectations. We're a family of four (including two teen boys). We'd definitely recommend Sunsetyards to families and/or groups of up to 6 ppl looking for a comfortable North Shore base.
On a side note..among some of our favorite local outings/recommendations: Haleiwa (lots of restaurants, shopping, Matsumoto Shave Ice), Waimea Bay (jumping off the big rock into the ocean and a scenic beach), snorkeling Shark's Cove (rentals on location just across the hwy...better than Hanauma Bay in our opinion - we even saw a few turtles), surfing Chun's Reef (beginner/intermediate surfing in June & surfboard rentals right there on the beach), Pillbox hike (short hike w/nice ocean view), lots of food trucks locations along the main highway, and "Banzai Bowls" for acai bowls (the Maui Sunset bowl was our go-to).
