On the north shore, this is a great place to stay. It’s a minute drive to Hanalei, which is where the small surfer town vibe is most present. There is ample outside place to hang out (a balcony not a Lanai). The trade winds made for great sleeping. The unit is on the ground floor so I felt that I had to close the blinds for privacy purposes as people walked right by. Personal touches and responsiveness of the host was appreciated greatly. I would stay there again.
