Victor, the host, was a complete gentleman and warmly greeted me when I came to the house. He is a busy man so that was the last time I saw him but I truly appreciated his hospitality and whenever I needed to communicate with him he was punctual and willing to talk.

For this place I have to highly stress the description of it being a "small inexpensive room" must be looked into carefully. The room is small, fitting really only the queen size bed and a half wall of shelving for a makeshift closet. You do get a mini-fridge which is fantastic because the common room kitchen is a bit of a mess.

I also want to point out this room has no AC and it gets hot VERY quickly so keep that in mind if you are easily susceptible to heat. Also, this is the North Shore so plenty of critters and creatures do tend to end up being roommates with you on occasion. I know I had some issues with roaches during my stay (but it was probably because a fellow Airbnb flat mate kept the screen door open). If you are squeamish about bugs this might not be the place for you.

Finally, the location here is absolutely phenomenal. You are only about 2 miles away from Old Haleiwa and the beaches are within a few miles of you. Victor has plenty of equipment such as bikes, surfboards, snorkel equipment, and even jet skis for your recreational pleasure.

Simply put, this is a hostel like room perfect for those who are only looking for a place to store their stuff and sleep between their adventures. If you are sensitive to bugs, heat, or easily awoken by the crowing of roosters at 4 in the morning you might not want this room. But for a place so close to everything in the North Shore, the price of this room, and how friendly the host is, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place to stay.
