Karon's place was a small slice of heaven. Right on the water in a less traveled part of Oahu, it was close to the North Shore, the Polynesian Cultural Center and good horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch (as well as the best garlic shrimp trucks!). The weather was dry during the day and rainy and windy at night during our stay, which just made things more romantic. Karon thoughtfully has drawers full of games for families and kids, and there's a DVD player as well. When we asked to stay an extra day, Karon was able to make that happen. We feel lucky her place was available; it was booked up for all but the nights we needed. In all, Karon made our stay on Oahu magical.
