Rod and Jens place is in the lovely town of Waialua which is a short 5min drive to the main town of Haleiwa. A large secluded beach is literally around the corner! We swam with turtles and saw them come up right on the sand for a sunbake! Truly magical! Rod and Jen also have a snorkel you can use :)
The room is recently renovated and well equipped with a fridge, TV (with cable) and coffee machine. You can also use the basic outdoor kitchen with stove and sink. The bed is soft for those of you who like soft beds!! There is a fan but no air-con. The room can get a little hot and stuffy at night- we opened the door for a cross breeze which helped. Rod and Jen were great hosts and gave us tips for great food trucks to eat in the local area. They are easy to communicate with and were there to greet us on our arrival!
The only thing I would warn future guests about is the shared bathroom. Although the bathroom itself is fantastic (large shower, good water pressure) When Rod and Jen entertain they use the bathroom attached to your room for their guests. They had a BBQ on the Friday night with lots of noisy kids that constantly used our bathroom and locked us out of it. It made it uncomfortable for us and we couldn't get to sleep early for our 7am flight. Other than that, everything was perfect and the location is fabulous. Definitely great for surfers and beach lovers!!! I would recommend.
