My family and I had a great time here. We will be staying on the Northside more often. I will say be careful with construction sights on the road. If they close one of the roads (83 on east side) that leads from Waikiki to North Shore area. It will add an additional 45min to one hour of a detour detour. but I truly recommend taking the 83 to Waikiki. There's a lot of great views and perfect for sunrise pictures.
The home is nice and the location is quite. I will also suggest if you plan on buying groceries, stop by food land before arriving since it's 15 min away from the location. hope this helps.
