We arrived after dusk, but Rainey's instructions made finding the place and settling in simple and easy. Having a parking spot right next to the studio was a blessing as parking in the area appeared limited. The house was clean and came equipped with everything needed for three days at the beach (towels, sun umbrella, bodyboards, snorkels and even flip-flops!). We loved having full access to a washer/dryer and the gas BBQ. The beach is two minutes walk away, offering gorgeous sand and surf for both beginners and experienced swimmers alike. The apartment works perfectly for those on a surf safari or for a family looking to enjoy the beaches on the North Shore, we being the latter. We enjoyed a take out meal from Ted's one night, but be careful walking the busy road to the bakery at night. A great place to stay, with access to Waikiki Beach (sixty minute drive) if you want it.
