I picked the north shore for it’s distance to the best beaches on the island. Irina’s place is well situated and has plenty of space for you and your family! There’s quite a bit of beach gear you can use so you don’t have to deal with having to rent any. We went to Queen’s bath almost everyday just because of how close it was. The trail to get there is literally like 50 steps or so! You’ll definitely want to check it out if you stay here. The AC works well and the rooms were well kept.
Hanalei is a quick drive away so we had plenty of options for food and especially shaved ice. If you’re planning to stay around the north shore, it’s an awesome place to stay. Irina’s place is situated near a golf course and it’s a great place to walk, jog, or bike. I would not hesitate to book her place again in the future. Thanks again Irina!
