Starting with the pro; it is located on the North Shore a short drive to amazing beaches. Haleiwa town is just next door. Proximity to things this place is great.
Otherwise it is not. The neighborhood itself isn’t amazing. It’s loud and crowded for the North Shore. The biggest issue I had with the place was cleanliness. We stayed for only one night and the cleaning fee was equivalent to the night’s rate so we expected it to be atleast decently clean. The shower floor, walls and shower curtain were covered with mold. Hairs on the floor in shower and dust all over. No rug for exiting shower and no hand towels in bathroom. The few bath towels that we there were old and smelled. The rest of the rental was fine as far as I could tell but we were only there to shower and sleep. We had to park up the road as all the spots at the house were full. Not much of an issue except when you have a bunch of heavy bags.
We never met the host and communication with him was fine. He did accommodate an early check in which was great appreciated.
In short: pro- location, con- cleanliness.
