Haleiwa is the active hub of the North Shore and the Zen Villa is in the center of town making it easy to walk around and enjoy the town. Overall great stay. Quiet retreat situated off the main road.
Veronica was easy to communicate with and provided detailed instructions on how to find the hidden building.
Pros: Looks just like the pictures. Plenty of space for family with separate spaces to relax inside and out. Grocery market and Longs Drug stores are very close, can walk to and back in a few minutes for groceries etc. Air conditioning in each room allowed guests to set their own comfort level. Modern appliances and fully stocked kitchen utensils. Beach gear in the covered car port.
Cons: Very few but to set expectations clearly it is important to note that it is an updated older cottage (which I actually like). The walls are thin and noice travels through them with ease. Other guests are correct on roosters in the morning, it took a few days for us to get used to rooster crowing and then we started sleeping through them.
I would definitely stay again.
