Simple place that gives you a really great location without the resort cost. Loved being so close to some great (and quiet) beaches like Kawela, and close access to the rest of the North Shore. Also a good starting point to explore the eastern side/Kailua. No light sleepers: roosters (there's one next door) like to crow at any hour, including 3 and 4 am! Guess they got bored waiting until sunrise. Neighbors are fairly close, but you're in a neighborhood, so it comes with the territory. Felt very safe, was clean, and worked well for the two of us. Good find and would definitely recommend.
