Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Haleiwa with Cris. His place is simple, tidy, and comfortable with "Hawaiian Hipster" decor and vintage charm. I chose not to rent a car for my holiday, which made getting around require more planning and patience on my part. Cris leant me a cruiser bike to get around town and I used the busses to get to the north shore beaches. I was really in no rush to get anywhere fast and I didn't have to worry about parking and traffic. A few favourites: Snorkelling at Shark's Cove; Sunset SUPping at Haleiwa beach; Jim and Mia Russi's art Studio just off the highway near Rocky Point before Sunset beach; skip the tourist trap at Wailua's sugar mill and opt for coffee at Brew and Foam in the Wailua shopping centre; Rajanee Thai across the street is good and if the wait is too long Thai Bo's food truck down the road is great too, V-land Tacos Truck is great: for 2 people- order a taco bowl with 4-6 soft tortillas on the side to share; Poke Bowls from Pupukea Foodland, or Malama Market in Haleiwa are good value; I liked the granola and toppings better at Haleiwa Bowls but the Acai blend at Crispy Grindz is the best; at Open Space Yoga check out Paula's Restorative class and Mary's Yoga Nidra was pure bliss. All in all a great time! There's a reason why Chris is a Superhost and I would gladly book another stay here!
