Great location central to everything on the North Shore. The Hale is just as described in the listing and a great property. Foodland grocery is a short walk away, make sure to give them your phone number on the first purchase to enroll in their Maikai points, this saved us about 30% on our groceries during our stay. Three Tables and Sharks Cove beaches are right across the street if you like snorkeling and seeing some great marine life. Sunset beach, Banzai pipeline are just up the road and Hale'iwa is a short drive away for surfers and swimmers alike. Kaena point trail is a great hike to see the Western tip of Oahu, bring water as there are no facilities out there. Local food trucks across from Sharks Cove have a great selection of offerings, the majority of restaurants are in Hale'iwa town, the Hale'iwa Beach House across from the beach has great food and a great view of the sunset, reasonably priced fine dining, Cholo's has authentic Mexican fare, and Teddys Bigger Burgers has great burgers. There are a bunch of other places that we didn't get a chance to try as well.
