We loved our stay with Malia and Bernie! Their home, within walking distance to the Turtle Bay resort, is super cozy, the coffee is fresh and plentiful every morning, Malia's vibrant and spectacular paintings are on every wall, and their cats are soft and friendly. We loved the king-sized bed, our own private refrigerator that was stocked with cold tea drinks, and the nice basket of biscuits and granola bars. Their home is in such a dreamy part of Oahu-- so close some really magical places like Kawela Bay and the giant banyan tree in the forest nearby. We only rented a car for part of our trip, and the rest of the time we stayed close to the resort or took The Bus, which stops right out in front of Kuilima Estates. There are a few spots on the resort grounds where you can get food, though they're pricey. We most enjoyed getting poke and crab-stuffed salmon at the restaurant right on the golf course, Lei Lei's. The portions are generous there and the service is warm. Just know that if you don't rent a car you will need to allot more time to getting around outside of the Turtle Bay area. But we had fun bussing down to the food trucks across from Shark's Cove, where Malia's grandson has a place called The Spot. We had tasty breakfast tacos there one morning while we watched the January surf. We also took the bus to nearby Haleiwa and had a great time at Teddy's Burger and Tiki Bar for Happy Hour. Also, there is an Enterprise rental location right at the Turtle Bay Hotel so you could do like we did and easily get a car for when you want to venture out! We are so happy we stayed at Malia and Bernie's. What a paradise. They were always there to answer any questions we had or offer ideas for where we might visit, and yet they were so respectful of our privacy. When we were leaving, Malia gave us a gift of two cards with prints of her paintings, and one of them was of a rainbow over an Oahu valley. I had gone for a run a couple days before and I'd taken the trails to Kahuku point, the very tip of the top of the island. I hadn't brought my phone with me and when I was met with the most picturesque rainbow I was just kicking myself. Malia's card meant so much to me. What a lovely reminder of our time there.
