Adriana and Chuck's lovely little place in the North Shore was exactly what I was looking for!
I only spent 2 nights there, after a work trip to the Big Island, but thanks to their generous suggestions for what to do in the area I was able to fit in a lot of activity as well as spend some quiet "retreat" time to myself.
The house itself is gorgeous, and even nicer than in the photos. It has all the amenities one would need for a few days and the layout and design are elegant, well thought out, and comfortable. I unfortunately stayed during a big rain storm, so didn't get to take advantage of the patio or outdoor shower, but they looked really nice too! The bed was just right and except for a particularly loud wind storm during the second night, I slept great. The shower had excellent pressure, the kitchen had everything, and the counter was great to sit at and plan my day. I loved the sliding barn style doors and the variety of windows for breezes.
I really liked the location - in a neighborhood offering a really cool mountain view as you leave - and only a few minutes drive from downtown Haleiwa. I tried out a number of the food and shopping suggestions and also made it to several really excellent nature spots around the North Shore that Chuck suggested, that I definitely would not have found on my own, and really made my experience special (such as Albatross and sea turtle viewing!)
As a solo traveler it was also nice to have my own space, yet be close by to my hosts. They went above and beyond and even helped me carry my bags to and from the car and sent me suggestions for the next leg of my trip. They responded almost immediately to any messages I sent during my stay.
I'll definitely be staying here if I return to the North Shore, and highly recommend their place. Perfect for a solo or partner trip!
