The place:

- Spacious, clean, and exactly as advertised. The cal king bed in this room is as unfathomably comfortable as it is large. The 4 windows have wide openings to keep the space full of fresh air. The bathroom and communal areas are all well kept, and are generally available when you need them even with other guests staying in the separate private rooms.

- There is a deck on the side which makes for a perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or tea.

- There are cruiser bikes and bodyboards to borrow, which is something that you would never find at a hotel.

The hosts:

- Aaron & Corinne & their two cute little ones were awesome, very polite and welcoming, and super cool. They can offer advice on the area and are available to help should you have any needs or questions.

The location:

- A stone's throw away from the shops and eats of Haleiwa and some of the nicest beaches in the entire world. What more could you want?
If you do need recommendations, Aaron and Corinne have put together an awesome one-sheeter that you'll find in your room with the best coffee, sandwiches, Mexican food, smoothies/bowls, etc. If you're more familiar with the Honolulu area, the food in the North Shore is just as good if not better and much more reasonably priced.
