This is an affordable North Shore stay - perfect for a family. You are away from the hustle and bustle and have your own private beach just a few steps away. Our family of 4 stayed here and here are the pros / cons:
Pros:
Walking distance to Haleiwa Beach Park (perfect surfing for beginners on mellow days & advanced surfers on big days)
Walking distance to Heleiwa Surf Shop (the cutest surf shop in town)
Take a quick stroll down the road to your own private beach with snorkeling
Three bedrooms with large comfy beds
A beautiful lanai with a huge luscious yard.
A quick drive to the grocery store and drug store!
Away from the highway traffic & tourists
Although there is one bathroom it is two sinks, and the shower / toilet are split - perfect for families
Was super clean when we arrived!
Cons:
Kitchen is somewhat small and doesn't' have a lot of counter space for cooking large family meals
There is no dining table inside the house (only on the lanai) - fortunately there was bug spray but I got demolished my mosquitos
No desk space - so if you are working from home take note!
Two bedrooms have small slats in the doors so you can hear everything going on in the kitchen / living room
This is not a private space - The host lives upstairs with her family, but we did not have any issues! Just something to consider.
If you want to be in the heart of the North Shore, this is off the beaten path. This is a great spot for families and I would highly recommend - it's hard to find places this affordable, big, & clean on the North Shore!
