Laura was in touch with us in a very informative and timely manner with any and all information that we would need. The location is superb on the north shore of Oahu and with literally" step out your back door access" to the gorgeous unpopulated beach. The cottage was a spacious and pleasant mix of Asian, rustic and modern. We enjoyed the perfume of the garden and the occasional exotic bird calls as well as breakfast next to the beach. The historic town of Hale'iwa was a short easy drive.
