This place is a keeper. I hope to stay here every time I go to the North Shore. It is across the street from a playground (good if you have kids) and from the beach (good for everyone). Also a plus, the beach area was quiet every time we went (never crowded) and the waves were always mild or non-existent, even if they were huge at other parts of the island. Other than that, it's very helpful to have a car so you can easily access other parts of the island. It's only about 6-7 minutes to get to Haleiwa, which is the "downtown" area you'll probably head to regularly, featuring tons of shops and food trucks. The apartment comes with its own parking spot (basically right next to the elevator, so it's very convenient) and a washer/dryer, which is also good if you're coming for a longer stay. The apartment was quiet and comfortable and you can see the ocean (through some palm trees) from the living room and the countryside from the bedroom. Great cross breeze almost always. Unit also comes with beach towels and beach chairs, so you don't need to pack those. Full kitchen and fridge, too, which makes it easy to cook at home. There is a tv but we never ended up using it. I also found amazing coffee a five minute drive from the apartment (Brew and Foam) and great yoga (North Shore Yoga Co-Op), if either are your speed.
