This is a wonderful place to stay. Do not let it go! Comfortable, clean, safe and in a fantastic location. House had everything what we needed and the couple living downstairs were super nice and very resourceful. We enjoyed reading house books about surfing and its culture and surf art in the house. We had complete privacy and the host was very responsive if we had any questions. We stayed over a month and explored the whole island. North shore has so much to offer even if you do not surf! Tucked away from crowds in Honolulu and west part of the island, we were right in the middle of countless attractions, just 50 minutes from the airport, Bishop museum or Pearl Harbor. House is located across the street from Rocky point beach, great beach for surfers and sunsets, grocery store is few minutes from the house, Shark's cove across the grocery store - great snorkeling even for beginners, Haleiwa town with famous Matsumoto shaved ice, shops, restaurants, shark's diving trips from Haleiwa, Pillbox with amazing views is just right above the house, take a quick hike from Sunset elementary. He'eia state park has amazing snorkeling- rent canoes or kayaks and you will beat the famous Hanauma bay where it is almost impossible to get tickets these days. Explore beaches towards Laie and you will find beaches great even for beginners. Turtle bay resort has great beach even for little ones and great golf. If you want to see turtles visit Laniakea beach they are always there. And do not forget Keena point. Overall we highly recommend this place. Great time, great memories!
