We had the best time at Bernie and Maria's! It's right near sunset beach and all of the surfing you could want. The stretch is quieter than Haleiwa, although close enough by car that we could get over there for some it's well known food spots.
The guestroom does run hot at night, so the in room AC was very much appreciated. It was also great meeting some of the surfers staying at the hostel side of the place and getting recommendations.
