Lovely hosts and well located cottage, right on the Banzai pipeline (surfers) beach, with humpbacks visible from the cottage without binoculars. Just a few minutes away from Sharks Cove, Waimea beach, and Foodland. Also 2 mins down the road are 5-6 food trucks. 6 miles away is Haleiwa, which is full of great little boutiques and great restaurants. Be sure to eat at the Thai and Mexican restaurant. Take a pass on the farmers market in Waimea Valley-disappointing.
