Perfect location across the street from a beautiful beach that we pretty much had to ourselves other than some surfers. Sooo nice if you want to escape the crowds and relax. The apartment itself is super cute, spacious and very clean. I love all the trees and plants that pretty much engulf the entire house (you almost can’t even see the house from the street - which makes it private and cozy). Teds bakery is in walking distance if you want to take a stroll and grab some grub (The danishes are incredible). We rented a car and I would recommend doing the same if you stay here - food trucks and grocery store aren’t far, but a bit too far to walk in my opinion. Susan is great and very accommodating. The only slight downsides were that the main bed was a bit small for my boyfriend and I to share (he’s 6’2) and there was a dog next store that likes to bark... a lot! Also Pipeline pro competition was going on during our stay which was awesome, but there was a bit more traffic than usual I think and considering the house is off the main road the noise from the traffic was pretty consistent. However, those little “negatives” don’t even come close to taking away from all the positives - just something to be aware of. Whether you are a surfer or just someone looking for a laid back vibe and more of an authentic Oahu experience, North Shore is where it’s at and I highly recommend Susan’s hidden gem!
