A really great location....super quiet and only 5 houses and a road away from a great little beach. Also can walk down to the next beach in either direction if you wanted. There are also great walking/bike trails to the right of the beach that I used each morning to get my miles in. That trail takes you all the way to Sunset beach. Also, lots of places that are public access so you can find your perfect beach location.
This apartment is also super close to a Foodland (maybe a five minute walk) which has fantastic Poke and other premade food (really the Poke is outstanding). Next to the Foodland property are about 5 food trucks. We ate at 2 and they were awesome...between Foodland and the trucks we ate almost all our meals there.
The apartment was super clean and perfect for the two of us. The living area is a good size and the kitchen has everything you need. We did stay in for dinner a couple of nights. The host has a bunch of toys you can use....bikes, boogie boards, chairs, snorkel equipment, etc was nice to have. Also beach towels. The air conditioner in the bedroom works really well. There is no AC in the living area so just an FYI. The table outside is in a covered area so great for outdoor meals but not for sunning (you have the beach down the street for that). And a bonus was to have the washer and dryer. The host also has a book which gives you suggestions on things to do which came in handy for us as well.
I really liked this apartment and the location. We looked at staying at other locations of the island, specifically at Kailua, and actually tried to visit some beaches and it was total mayhem. Not sure if it always that busy, but I think the North Shore is the prefect spot on the island and the apartment a great home base.
