This is a very functional, spacious property in the center of North Shore activities. Walkable distance to beaches for both snorkeling and swimming, food trucks and Foodland grocery/deli store. Short drive to Waimea Valley and Waimea beach. The unit has well equipped kitchen (plates, utensils, basic spices, pots/pans), brand new wonderful AC and plenty of fans, wi-fi robust enough to support 5+ devices simultaneously. The shower water pressure was good; plenty of bath and beach towels provided. All 3 beds were comfortable, with nice linens. The washer+dryer were very helpful, as was the outdoor shower for rinsing sand off. We did not notice any offensive smells mentioned in other reviews; it smelled like a typical tropical house, including fragrances from adjacent plumeria tree and other greenery. No problem finding parking even during busy weekends. In terms of cons, light sleepers might note proximity to road => related traffic noise, local roosters making noises in early mornings and some construction noise from nearby property. Also, being close to nature there are interactions with bugs and insects (owner provides sprays etc.) . These issues didn't bother us much, but may be critical to others. We had a few positive interactions with owner, who was very responsive and promptly addressed all our requests. Overall, this is a well set home that was comfortable for 3 adults and 2 teenagers.
