If you wish to truly experience the Hawaiian life, stay in the northshore like this airbnb. It's in one of the most valuable location spots you can find on Oahu. Waikiki Beach area is great too but that's the touristy side (kinda like Huntington beach of CA). Northshore is the real Hawaiian, local type of place and in fact, during December, you can watch world-class professional surfers 2 mins away from this place. It's just 5-10 mins to go sea turtles. It's just 5-10 mins to go cliff jump. It's 5-10 mins away from Hawaii's most baeutiful cove called Shark's cove (Bernie recommended). I can go on and on. I've been to Hawaii 3 times and the 3rd time was with Bernie and Maria's airbnb. I gotta tell ya, they made the 3rd one the best just from the valuable local tips i couldn't get anywhere else. Thank you guys again!! COMING BACK SOON
