What a perfect place for our family vacation to Oahu! We stayed on the North Shore to get the essence of Hawaii outside of the bustle of Waikiki. From this house as a home base, we were able to do a bunch of cool excursions (surf lessons, SUP'ing with turtles, Haleiwa town) all within 5 minutes of the house. A bunch of other excursions (Kaneohe, Kailua) were only slightly longer drives from Waikiki so it was still worth it. The house has everything you need for comfortable stay and some fun beach time. You can walk to some beaches but requires some gumption to walk down Kamehameha Hwy with the fast traffic. If you're in for a relaxing trip and not in a hurry, this is a great location. You'll have to plan for some one lane traffic on busy weekends (Waimea on a weekend took more than double the time) but once the day trippers leave back to Waikiki, you have the best evenings and mornings in Haleiwa! Great dining are to host meals for big family which we loved for mornings before excursions or after food truck takeout after long beach days. Also, there are 3 listings on 1 property. My family took two and used Ohana house as the homebase. Francine and Ernesto were easy to contact - but we had no issues with the house to even have to call them.
