Karen’s home was absolutely lovely. Clean, spacious, and perfect for a larger group! It had a great patio area with rocking chairs that overlooked a field with some foliage, so it was nice to take advantage of this to relax before a busy day of events and sightseeing. There were multiple bathrooms stocked with fresh towels and basic shower toiletries if you need, which is always super useful when traveling with multiple friends.
It did get a bit muggy inside sometimes without the air on, but the A/C functioned perfectly and was quick to alleviate that situation. We also found a critter or two indoors, though considering this particular area where the house was located (surrounded by grass and fauna, + it’s Hawaii!), I wasn’t too surprised to come across some unexpected lil’ friends.
I was not in contact with Karen in regard to my reservation but with one of the other property managers(?), Trixie. She did a fantastic job accommodating my needs and answering any questions, and did so in a very timely manner. Overall, I would be more than happy to book their place if I were to stay in the North Shore again!
