Wow. Our stay here on the north shore of Oahu was fantastic. We were greeting the morning of our first day by Betsy, who shared a map of the local sites and spent time describing the area for us. The home is exactly what we expected from the listing, with close proximity to the beach and plenty of beach gear including chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear and boogie boards!
We slept five people easily, with one person on the comfortable couch in the living room. It was great to have the kitchen. We used it for breakfasts, and a few meals. Be sure to visit downtown for shopping and be sure to get some shrimp at the big blue truck on the corner. The drive in to Honolulu was fun, and surprisingly quick, and the drive along the coast in the other direction is filled with beaches, fruit stands, and small towns to explore.
Susan and Betsy were friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our visit and would happily use their listing again, if we ever get back to Oahu. I recommend you consider staying in this north shore home to get a laid back local experience with a great beach. If you want to drive down and explore Honolulu, it's an easy drive with plenty of things to explore on the way.
