We decided we wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki. O’ahu is a small island and it’s only a 40 minute drive from Honolulu to Haleiwa. The mountains are amazing as you draw close to the North Shore.
Betsy greeted us all with a hug when we arrived. My mum turned 80 during our stay so it was a special celebratory trip. It was lovely to be so warmly welcomed. (Big Hugs Betsy xxx)
The apartment is on the first floor and catches the trade winds through its many windows. You can see the ocean from the windows and hear the waves softly crashing. The place is big and airy and is beautifully decorated particularly in the bedrooms. There is a whole cupboard of books and games and things to do, plus cable TV when you want to chill out. The kitchen was very well equipped and we prepared plenty of great meals. There is a big closet full of towels and bedding, plus all you could want in beach equipment. Best seat in the house was on the wonderful lanai (balcony) where you could sit and watch the sunset.
