If you're looking for a tranquil, lovely location on the North Shore, this place is it. The cottage itself is very pleasant, with plenty of room for our family of five. Enjoying the view of the water from the lanai (porch) was a wonderful way to begin and end each day. And the property itself is meticulously landscaped and gorgeous. Plus, there's a collection of beach accouterments (chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment) that you can use. The location is very close to the local Foodland and some of the best beaches on Oahu (particularly Waimea Bay and Shark's Cove), and only a 15-minute drive from the pleasant little touristy town of Haleiwa (though the trip can be longer if there are a lot of tourists stopping to view turtles at a small beach along the way -- check beforehand and plan accordingly). Both the owner and the property manager checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all, this location is a little slice of paradise.
