My husband and I really enjoyed our time in the North Shore in large part because of this place. I'm pretty picky when it comes to hotels and am fortunate enough to stay at some nice 5 star places (mentioned just for context), so it means a lot for me to say that this place was spotless and so comfortable while being stylish. Francis and family did a great job renovating this spot and was the perfect size for me and my husband. We were so happy to have the washer&dryer and we loved the bathroom! Didn't get a chance really to use the full kitchen, but could definitely see that coming in handy. The location is great too. We attended a wedding at Waimea Valley and that was a short drive (well, should be a short drive, but traffic can get bad) and a lot of friends stayed at Turtle Bay which was like 6 minutes away. The food trucks with Giovanni's Shrimp, Island Breeze (didn't try this but our friends looved the lobster), and a truck with traditional homey Hawaiian food (forgot the name) were literally down the street so super convenient and yummy. We bought food at a fruit stand along 83 a few miles north. We did the Ehukai Pillbox hike which was closey by and great and also did paddle bording with turtles at a spot closer to the old historic town.
