If you are looking for the PERFECT North Shore AirBnb, look no further. Lei's place was better than we could have expected. We've come to Oahu quite a few times now, but never stayed in North Shore until now. Wow, what a nice difference from the noisy, busy, touristy bustle of Waikiki. I highly recommend spending at least 3 days on the North Shore for the hiking, sunsets, food trucks, snorkeling, and just overall relaxing local feel.
Highlights:
- Apartment had nearly floor to ceiling sliding doors facing the huge beautiful backyard. There are great light blocking privacy shades and screens. (It wasn't too hot, so we left the doors open!)
- Apartment is super clean and has everything you'd need: coffee, induction stove, microwave, glass/dishware, cutlery, fridge, etc.
- Amazing quiet A/C
- Smart TV to connect to any streaming service
*** Amazing Tommy Bahama beach chairs and snorkels
Location:
What made this place extra special was its location.
- WALKABLE to Ted's Bakery (though be careful on the narrow road shoulder) --Everything is pretty good at Ted's --Haupia pies, cakes, butter rolls, doughnuts, LOCO MOKO, yummm
- Minutes to Sunset Beach and Sunrise Shack. Our most perfect evening was grabbing the beach chairs, heading to Sunrise Shack, ordering some Acai Bowls and walking across the street to catch the best Sunset we've ever seen in our lives!
- Easy drive to anywhere you want to go on North Shore
Lei's wasn't cheap, but it was worth it for my girlfriend and I for a perfect North Shore stay. We'd come back anytime.
