Michele’s place is the ideal location from which to explore the North Shore while also having the local experience. The private bedroom and bathroom were very clean and the bed was comfy. Sometimes the neighbor’s dog barked at night but the portable fan creates a nice white noise that masks it. You also have access to the kitchen if you need it, and there is a mini fridge in the bedroom.
Michele was very helpful in helping me find my way there in the evening when my GPS was not cooperating. Waialua is a lovely little town, so before you zip up to Hale’iwa and Waiamea, be sure to stop at Brew+Foam for delicious coffee and breakfast with the locals, visit the Kanak Taco Food Truck for lunch, and pop over to the Old Sugar Mill and Soap Factory for fun nick nacks and souvenirs. On Saturdays, don’t miss the farmers market behind the Old Sugar Mill, where you can see families shop for fresh produce and local crafts. I had a wonderful time, and driving up the coast from here is super easy. Mahalo!
