This is one of those places that's hard to beat. Ocean views right off the deck or bedroom. A complete kitchen, with enough space to actually do food preparation. A comfy living room, well-kept grounds and plenty of parking.
In addition, it's an easy 10-15 minute walk into downtown Paia, where there's both food shopping and restaurants. Restaurants were operating at 30% capacity, but we did take advantage of the take-out available from a handful of the local restaurants. An even shorter walk gets you to the Kuau Bay Beach Park, where you have nice beach and surfing access.
The north shore makes easy access to a lot of the other places on the island, and wasn't nearly as crowded as the west or south sides, in terms of crowds and housing density. We spent a couple weeks here and made it to all other points on the island with this as our home base.
