Location is everything on this island. I’ve lived from top to bottom Oahu & this spot is amazing.
Residents have access to 360° views from the rooftop deck, a path filled with lemon trees and outdoor shower that leads to the back gate which cuts down the walk to the beach from around the block to just across the street. It was an amazing surprise. When mentioning the building, I have to mention the neighbors. Everyone that I encountered was so polite & friendly. I got to know quite a few & this was hands down, the nicest community of people I experienced on the island.
The apartment is also right along the bike path that leads to Haleiwa. The bike path smells sweet like brown sugar from the chocolate trees alongside. Almost exactly 1 mile down the bike path is a farm stand that’s there everyday along with random food trucks with the occasional shave ice or popsicle truck. Take a look around the path & you’ll spot loads of different fruit, some fishing spots, quiet beaches, & even some endangered birds like the ‘Alea ‘Ula aka the Hawaiian Moorhen.
I picked this location bc I’m familiar with this beach (my daughter loves it). Loads of turtles swimming around daily. A nice playground for 5+ yr olds. Large, single stall bathrooms & outdoor showers. Good snorkeling. Nice surfing, if you know how.
It’s isolated in the sense that big box stores are far off & you’ll have to drive to the nearest town for most restaurants or shopping.
The place itself had a large bedroom, 2 large dressers, a small bathroom (shower, no tub), washer/dryer, dishwasher, electric stove, microwave, dining table, bar top, one couch, a full size futon, and large balcony that was enjoyable. It has definitely been lived in but still, comfortable for a small family looking for a crash pad.
We had everything we needed & Yuri went ABOVE & BEYOND to fix all issues we had.
