Our stay was nothing less than spectacular - and we can't say enough great things about Emmanuel and this incredible location. First, you are literally, ON THE BEACH. Fellow travelers, you can take your fresh brewed cup of Java and watch the sunrise from your lanai, lawnchair or with toes in sand. Ditto with a cold one at sunset. On day one, we walked 30 steps to the beach and saw holes where turtle eggs were laid and the hatchlings waddled to sea. And the LOCATION - goodness. You are just on the southern part of North Shore - so peaceful, quaint, & laid back pace. We drove all over the island, and the location of our stay gave us such an authentic feel of Oahu. Emmanuel was top notch with concern for our comfort and needs, yet his place had everything we needed - honest. We found sorkel gear that fit us and an ice chest on the lanai, all left by previous travellers that paid it forward. The value and location are second to none - we have found our permanent stay in Oahu. Suggestions for fellow airbnbers: Bullet coffee at The Sunshine Shack **the airbnb experience of Coral Reef Creatures at Night with Don (do NOT miss, it's that incredible!)** Laie Point (tsunami holed rock) - condensed milk on your shaveice @ Matsumotos - incredible wood carvings @ Ohana Island Creations (ask to see his photo book) & finally Spitting Cave.
