This was a great place to stay for my family of 6. It was clean and quiet and had plenty of room for us to spread out. It was awesome being on the North Shore. There is a grocery store just down the hill which was convenient, but it is super expensive. We bought most of our food at Costco. There are good food trucks right across from Sharks Cove. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place as a good one. You can't walk to the beach, but it is a beautiful slice of paradise. The price was high - as expected, it's Hawaii. And our stay was during the pipeline surf competition which made traffic on the North Shore a bit of a nuisance. But staying at Claire's place was cheaper than 2+ hotel rooms with lots more space. Also having a nice kitchen with a full-size fridge helped us save money on food, and is just way more convenient when you have 4 kids (12 - 22 years old) - someone is always hungry. And you can bring your leftovers home from all the great places there are to eat! Having a laundry room was also nice and beats hanging out in a laundromat. I would definitely stay there again...unless there was a place on the beach for the same price :)
